It makes for some interesting holiday gatherings, and leads to allot of severe headaches.
And I too remember the whole Eli thing and all the Giant fans that I know wanted his head and never thought he would amount to anything. Funny, one of my friends even thought the Giants should have traded for McNabb after Eli's third season or so when he failed yet again.

I think my new family is a mixture of both. My father-in-law is not extremely talkative, but like you said, when he talks, you better listen, lol! Now, my mother-in-law, she's the talker. She told me she went out with Roger Staubach once - to some kind of dance. However, because I am her favorite son-in-law (her only one, lol) she now has converted to being a Redskins fan!
I try to look at it like this. REAL football fans, no matter their team affilation, should appreciate a player like RGIII. The sport needs a guy like him, because he's good for the sport of football. Years down the road, those guys will still dislike Griffin because he plays for the Redskins, but they'll have no choice but to respect him, because they'll all be absolutely wrong about him on the other side of this injury.
