I became a Redskins fan in 1972, the year they played in the Super Bowl losing 14-7 to the undefeated Miami Dolphins. I grew up in the DC/Maryland area, but when i was in the 10th grade we moved to Phx,Az. I had been to RFK 2 times before we moved , watching a Cowboys game with Kilmer still the QB. I can remember how crazy it was with the stadium sits moving up and down from the fans. We did win that game against the Cowboys. When i lived in AZ this was way before the internet and NFL Ticket. I would watch highlights on Monday Night football with Howard cosel and read the newspaper. As i grew older i would go to Sports Bar to watch the Redskins before i got DTV. Now I watch every game on NFL Ticket and also get Washington Post and comcast on my DTV package. When speaking about the Redskins i refer to the team as we need to draft this player. I feel like the team is my extended family. I was very upset when Sean Taylor was murder, knowning that he was so young and coming into his own. We as fans could see Sean growing and maturing right before our eyes. I also have 3 kids, 2 boys and 1 daughter which made me realiaze how short life can be. Sean RIP.
to sum it all up i may disagree with how our team does business but i will always be a Redskins fan win or lose. The different in California fans and Redskins is we support our teams no matter what their record is. I hope we our Owner can be Patient and Build via the Draft. Also lets give our coach and QB some time to get this ship turn into a Championship Team again.
