I was lucky because I was a Redskins fan when George Allen and Joe Gibbs (Version I) coached here. Back then, we knew we could beat anybody and we believed that we were never out of a game. It was a great time!

I want every Redskins fan to enjoy the Redskins the way we did back then. In a way, I must believe that Jay Gruden could be the same type of fortunate hire that Joe Gibbs turned out to be. I believe that one man, the right Head Coach, can make the difference between winning and losing. If Jay Gruden is the right man, I believe we can be good again for a decade or more.

My kids are 6 and 10. They kind of like the Skins b/c of me and but we are in the heart of Ravens land and there is a lot of pressure on them to buy in both from friends and b/c, as kids, they want to root for winners.

I desperately need a "salad days" type run to firmly cement them into Redskins Nation for life.
