A true Redskins fan only wants what's best for the Redskins. We want the world to think we play in the toughest division, so there's a certain amount of pride in knowing that our NFC East competitors are good.

But pulling for the Cowboys? The Iggles? The Giants? NEVER. You can take pride in the division, because we're part of that identity. But that's something you do AFTER the season. While games are still being played, you can't jump out of your chair and high-five your buddy when Brian Westbrook or Tikki Barber breaks free for a TD. THAT AIN'T RIGHT!!

The Steelers are a good team for Skins fans to cheer for. They are geographically close; Pittsburgh has always been a maligned city (like DC); historically they play NFC-style ball; they have great football tradition. The few Steelers fans I know are good people.
