Yep. That '91 season was pure Redskins fan nirvana-- except for that damn week 13 loss to the damn Cowboys-- which, as any Redskins fan from the Fredericksburg area knows, is directly attributable to Mark Rypien's failure to make his weekly trip down to Fredericksburg for his lucky dose of Carl's Frozen Custard!

Every off-day of that fabled season-- except for the one prior to that week 13 matchup with the Cowgirls-- Ryp had filmed a weekly Redskins show in Fredericksburg, followed by a trip over to Carl's for some of their heavenly frozen custard.

I'll never understand why Ryp decided to forego his lucky cone that week (of all weeks!!!), but needless to say, I'm convinced that had he stuck to his weekly routine, the '91 Skins could very well have challenged the '72 Dolphins for football perfection and immortality! If the Skins had been undefeated heading into that regular season finale against Philly, I'm sure Coach Gibbs and the players would have at least made an effort to win that game.
