Great performance by Brunnell. Speaking of "LOL." Being a fan through the bad times doesn't "entitle" you to much more than a tear in your eye when they finally win the big one. As one who was a fan of the New England Patriots in the pre-Parcell's era (and the infamous 1-15 season) I can tell you that it was pretty exciting to see the entire region area get caught up in the Patriots Super Bowl appearances in 96, 02, 04 and 05. 4 AFC titles later, and 3 Super Bowl Championships....it doesn't matter to me who jumps on the wagon. Just keep em coming Tom Brady. It's all good. JK More revenue for the Redskins so they can sign some some more high-priced aging veterans and be “one and done” in the playoffs.

The skins are in the playoffs by the skin of their teeth. Hope you guys just wanted to go to Florida cause that's as far as you are going. As long as "the little prince" owns the skins they are not going anywhere. The NFL would be a lot better off if rich meddling assholes like Jerry Jones and the moron who owns the skins found another playtoy. Now for the real world.

Man they sucked last night. The BC Lions started 11-0, then didn't make it to the Grey Cup. Seahawks are kicking ass, I hope this weekend isn't a trend for them though. When I saw the headline "Gibbs takes Redskins to Playoffs" I knew a certain MD blogger was going to be very happy.... I got cuts and scrapes from jumping on and off the Canucks bandwagon.

Anyway, isn't DC the town where people put bumper stickers on their cars for political candidates after the election is over? That’s quite a sense of entitlement you got there.

And that's a few of the folks who work in D.C. The vast majority of the city (and the surrounding burbs in MD and VA) are normal non-political people (excluding myself, of course :) I think watching Danny Wuerffel, Shane Matthews, Tony Banks etc. for years now entitles me.
