Joe’s got my hug. Wouldn't pay, though. Here’s my take, and I warn you, it’s gonna get a little Oprahfied.

Boy do I have my criticisms of Gibbs.2, and I’m looking towards post-Gibbs Redskins. But for me, the Gibbs.1 memories are near, dear and sacred. For those of you who were privileged to have ever ROCKED RFK you feel me, you know the bigger picture, and know why he’ll always get my hug.

Beathard brought ‘em; Gibbs molded ‘em. It's been 20+ years and we still know and love our boys who played on his watch - Riggo, Clark, Green, the Hogs, Big Daddy Butz, and I would be amiss not to send a shout out to THE BEST cheerleader this town has EVER seen, Dexter Manley. We still root for him! It’s a no-brainer where we stand on Art Monk.

Maybe the Pats will have this one day.

For African American boys/young men who aspire to QB a pro team one day, don’t forget to send a hug to Joe. During the dark ages of the 80s, black QBs didn’t’ get play, but do you think Joe gave a s*it? Jay Schroeder was a fool so he started Doug Williams in the game of his life. Like that. And so shifted the bogus image of who a QB should be. This is the bigger picture of Joe Gibbs that us old-school posters and bloggers see, and while we too scream with frustration and know the time has come, we don’t slam this man, and will remove our hats when he departs.

So Joe, if you’re reading this, please know that as PAINFUL as it was watching you lose to the Patriots, and enduring last year’s 5-11, your legacy has made me dig my heels in deeper as a Redskin fan. If I saw you in an airport, or picking up toothpaste at CVS, I’d walk up to you, shake your hand, and tell you so. I wouldn't be the only one. Probably, though, what’s weighing much heavier on your mind is, “hey Pat, grab me the hand-sanitizer wouldchya? Even after that dad-gum fanny-whoopin’ the fans still want to hug me!” And then you’d laugh that funny laugh of yours.
