I remember back in 2001 or 2002 when the Skins were like 0-5 1-5 under Marty how I started watching Ravens games the first one being the first match between the Titans and the Ravens. From that point on as more Ravens games started making their way to Atlanta I found myself becoming a fan to the point where I was rooting for the team in the Super Bowl with the same entuhsiasm that I rooted for the Skins.
Yeah call me what you will but only a fool would stay put in such an abusive relationship that is loyalty to these Washington Redskins. Now I'm not defecting yet but I have to say if nothing is done about the lines, and at the same time we get Vinny peddling his holy draft board then it's going to be very tempting to stand up and leave. Lifes to short to wait for Dan Snyder to learn how to run a team.

Wow, I am so glad to see someone else stating what I have also been thinking. I attended the NFC Championship game at RFK back in 1991 - I remember screaming at the top of my lungs and the stadium was so loud that I could not even hear myself. We were literally shaking the foundations. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a diehard Skins fan, and I used to be obnoxiously so -- I went to college in Texas, my college roommate was from Denver when we whipped their asses in 1987 (yes, a group of them burned their jerseys on a bet I made to them). I mean, I loved the Skins, absolutely loved them. Fast forward to today ... I almost can't take it anymore. From moving out of RFK to overpaying for washed up free agents, to Sean Taylor being murdered (the only player I loved on the team since Darrel Green retired), to today with the most mediocre crew I can remember ... I think to myself, maybe I need a break. I never thought I'd think that, but I guess I never thought we'd have an owner so utterly incompetent. I live in Denver now, and with the new coach, I have been debating switching to Denver until Snyder is gone. It is kind of sad to have such thoughts. Wow, that felt good to vent.
