not fair weather

First and foremost, thanks for the various welcomes. I will remember burgundy not maroon. Second, I am no spy for the cowboys. I don't know if there is a team I hate worst than the cowboys, unless it is the eagles. I have moved around the country quite a bit and would usually root for the local team....(Bears, Saints). Even in Chicago, I never saw the passion for the team that I have seen at Redskins games. (I haven't been to the new Fed Ex stadium, yet). Joe Gibbs is one of the true class acts in the NFL, as is most of his staff. I have always rooted for the Skins, but having coach Gibbs back (I also know a little about Coach Blache from Chicago...darn good coach and he is hilarious...just wait til he gets going....) really said to me they wanted to win. No offense to Spurrier fans, but what a waste of a couple of years he was. I have two trips planned to see games this year and I can't wait to truly have a team that I put my heart into. Don't worry, I can handle the ups and downs. I just love a team that shows heart and I think we got a pretty good bunch of guys here. Thanks again...

Great to have you among us, newskinfan!

My brother lived in New Orleans for a while, and he's also moved around the country quite a bit. Although he grew up a Redskins fan, he became a "new" fan of the Saints and Titans when he lived in New Orleans and Tennessee, respectively. Now he's back in Virginia, so he's a bit of a "new" Skins fan himself, kind of like how Gibbs is the "new"/old coach.

We welcome all kinds of Skins fans on this site, and I'm sure you'll find that visiting this site regularly will enhance your understanding and appreciation of what it means to be a true Redskins fan-- "the best bloody fans in the world!"
