I teach in the DC area. Steady increase in the number of student Ravens fans suggests that your "religion" is losing out to the one up the interstate, thanks to the shared TV market and actual success in their lifetimes. The diehard Skins fans anymore all have parents with your level of fandom.
It really makes no sense. How can someone be so incompetent at their job and still keep it?
I thought we hit rock bottom at the end of the Shanny Era. We somehow found a way to keep digging.
listen
I've been at this point for about two years, and I'm here to tell you that if you're like me- and it sounds like you are- there's probably nothing you can do about it. If you grew up here you'll always root for them. You can and should jump into fandom for the other DC sports teams with both feet, and that helps a lot for me, but I'll be a fan of this miserable franchise until the day I die.
At least we are good at something! Being a trainwreck. Now if Scot can just tell his side piece to stop leaking stuff that would be a start.
The only way I become a Cowboys fan is if my son/ future grandson somehow is good enough at football and plays for the Cowboys. Period. If a nephew or cousin plays for them, NO CHANCE!!!!!listen
when you have been travelling a road your whole life, and it has brought you nothing but grief, there is only one solution
turn around
pull a constanza, do the opposite of what you have been doing, the opposite of what your instincts tell you
in short, become a Cowboys fan
Maybe Mrs. McCloughan's tweet tells us how everything gets done at Redskin Park. Maybe that is how Wylie keeps his job.
This is disgustingly true.
Well in his case he already went through the carwash backwards once. So it looks like he is stuck on a conveyor belt at this rate
I guess they figured no one would bother looking into it? I mean in this day and age, it's not hard to tell if someone has a fake Twitter account. All they had to do was look at it and realize their son was tweeting her. Why would he be tweeting a fake account? Probably the same reason that Wylie is still here.
i mean
Exactly. Much more believable than, "it's a fake" when pretty much everyone knew it wasn't.
How's that been working for you the past 20 years?listen

Was offered tickets and turned them down.
I would actually be pretty optimistic about the game. The Redskin 2nd and 3rd stringers have done well against their opponents in preseason.
Gravel lot off Barlow Road has been $25 in previous seasons.
Nah. I'm barely going myself. Just going to get drunk and make my neighbor drive since I gave him his ticket for free
Unfortunately, can't help you much there. We're all with you on this one.
Temporary problem.
Probably temporary, but not sure it's changing nearly as quickly as the head coach.
Yeah. Best we can hope for is occasionally lucking our way into something semi-nice like the Gibbs 2.0 years or RG3's rookie year.
Hopefully actually having a legit GM reduces the number of busts, but not sure what he can do about the soap opera.
Who cares? I really don't get the big deal here. Why do we care what his wife is doing? Did Arizona freak out when Kurt Warner's wife spoke up? Not an issue to me at all.
Sports and football are awesome. And like Tobias said, if you're like some of us, you can't shake it. You'll be a fan no matter what. Nothing that's happened takes away that John Riggins moment that made me a fan.
You're correct. For $40 I should be able to re-purchase an extra parking pass from a road hobo, thus gaining entry to the parking lot for the Washington Football Team.HOW DARE YOU!!!
You're kidding right? This entire off-season and last year and the year before are all Dan Snyders fault. Snyder took Griffins side and that's why Shanahan is gone. Snyder hamstrung the Redskins next year by signing griffins extension just so he could prop up RG3's confidence. He has emasculated did your current head coach by forcing RG3 on him all off-season and making him lie front of everybody and tell the world that RG3 is progressing when in reality, he's a hot mess.
Nope, not kidding. Lets pretend all of what you're stating is true. Using your synopsis of preceding events as a predictor, this wouldn't have played out the way it is trending. In fact, any scenario that is likely going to lead to RG3 being off the team in a wk would be the least likely possibility. Nobody would deny the fixation Snyder has for rg3.
My cousin has lived her whole life in the DC area. She was a kid/young adult for all the Super Bowls. Her kids (ranging from 9 to 14) are all Ravens fans.
Just seems to play out as RG3 somehow getting hurt and getting his guaranteed money for next year as well; thus another year of distractions. But as soon as the RG3 distraction is mitigated, the name issue will swing back into full force.
