Woodfolk is describing a phenomenon that some call the “Redskins Effect”: that trance-like state of calm that descends on the region when hundreds of thousands of eyes are staring at football. Today, at 4:45 p.m. — kickoff of the Washington Redskins’ first playoff game in six years — expect many area residents to retreat en masse to their dwellings or sports bars. Outside, life will continue, but according to those who’ve lived it, the pace will be quite different.
Hail, Skins. You know what you gotta do.
I think they are doing what they need to do?
