Kilmer, Jurgenson, Theisman, the Hogs, the Smurfs, Riggo ... yeah.
(Okay, I started with the 70s there. Whatever.)
Well, at least we get one more season of Darrell Green... Is there
any chance the rest of the team will be good enough in 2002 to give
him a chance to shine like he ought?
(The 2001 Redskins made me really glad I've now got the Ravens to
root for as well, though I still get annoyed when Baltimore television
stations don't show Redskins games.)
One of life's ironies -- when I was dating my most recent ex-girlfriend,
we mostly got to see each other on weekends. Between performing at the
Maryland Renaissance Festival and spending time with her, I pretty much
didn't watch any football other than the Super Bowl for about five years.
A year or so after we broke up, she started getting interested in football.
It was the Ravens in last season's playoffs that sucked her in. Now she
complains about the weekends when the NFL plays on both Saturday and
Sunday because it means she doesn't get anything done all weekend, she
has her own football-watching snack ritual, she started complaining last
March about how long she had to wait for more football, she yells at the
television, and we've spent several Sunday afternoons on the telephone
watching games "virtually together". She actually watches more games than
I do.
Why, oh why couldn't she have discovered this a few years earlier? Oh,
the Sunday afternoons we could have spent curled up together on the
sofa, the weekends I could have watched the Redskins _and_ been with
her... *sigh* God has an odd sense of humour.
Y'know, she's utterly _adorable_ when she says, "Touchdown!!"
