I just hope they win around the first and 15th of every month so payroll is still ran!!!!
There are plenty of other fans here in this area and if you walk into any bar in the Happy Hour Capital of the world, you will find a group of devoted fans to any of the 32 teams. In the mix somewhere will always be a Redskins fan.
In the excitement of a new football season, I have come up with some rules/guidelines for all to follow when being a "fan" on NFL Sundays!
1. No Bandwagoners. I hate it when I see a bunch of "Packer" fans all of a sudden emerge and Aaron Rodgers is now the greatest thing since sliced bread! If you are going to be a fan, be one and not only when they are winning, but like any devoted Redskin fan, you must stick with your team through decades of losing!
2. Please, when you decide to wear your team's jersey, the jersey must have the name of someone on the CURRENT roster. I saw a lot of Donovan McNabb Redskin jerseys yesterday and that man plays for the Vikings now #fail. Exceptions to the rule, throwbacks of ex-football greats are allowed. For example, a Joe Namath Jets jersey is sanctioned.
3. If you are having a football gathering at the house, you are required to bring a beverage or libation of choice for the group, not just a personal stash! At this same gathering, ladies are allowed IF AND ONLY IF, they do not nag, bother, or make request during gametime. Talking is allowed during commercials and halftime ONLY!
4. I can't stand it when I go to a bar and the random fan fanatic starts giving me stats on every player on the team dating back to when Christ was a child. Dude, I am hear to WATCH the game; if I wanted to listen to John Madden the whole time, I would have stayed home.
5. Ok, I am at the bar watching the Skins and Giants and I see a Skins fan at the bar and he pulls something out of his pocket. After a closer look, this guy pulled out a PENALTY FLAG from his back pocket and yes, it was florescent like what you see on TV. Oh, it gets better, he also had a red flag for "challenges" and he would pull these flags out when he thought it was appropriate. Look, I am fan just like the next man; a jersey, some face paint, hat, even football gloves I can let you get away with but PENALTY FLAGS, NO!!! Thats a flag on the play, penalty is pretending you are in the game re-living your glory days. LET IT GO!!!!
Please feel free to add to this list!!!
There should be a outlaw on the "Should haves" or the "I would haves". "That QB SHOULD HAVE thrown the ball to the tight end." Or "If that was me, I WOULD HAVE called a play-action pass instead of that run on the goalline." Both are false hopes of grandeur. Those ideas look real smart....from the 100-400 sections or with your feet up on a ottoman. Its a little different when you have 90,000 ppl (close up) and 2-3 million ppl (tv) second guessing u, not to mention you didn't know that tight end you were going to throw to 5mins ago told the QB in the huddle, "I think I'm getting sick.)
