The Washington Redskins--A Conundrum Unto Themselves

The Redskins are just special. I promised myself that if I were going to successfully free myself from the grasp of Cowboys fandom then I'd have to cease and desist all cracks on the Redskins, but they are making it too damn tempting.

Last week was torture for me. I wanted to clown them on Facebook but I tried to hold true to my word. Even when they screwed up the snap at the end I kept my mouth shut. Today though...I can't contain myself. They benched Mcnabb. Not only benched, they made him third string.

Do you really demote a guy whose face is on every bus stop? I'm not saying he lived up to the hype. Hell no he didn't, but look at what he was working with. Every time a receiver screwed up or the defense phoned it in from the sidelines, he got up on that podium after the game and (homeless beard and all) took ownership like a team player should. The Redskins obviously don't believe in reciprocity. They threw his ass under the bus. Wait, he's 3rd string. They threw his ass under a bus and then blew the joint up.

I guess he'll be closing his Capital One Bank account and moving to Minnesota next year...too bad because "they're everywhere."
