Eventually I reconnected with the Redskins after an early phase where I stopped caring about football when I started playing High School football (ironically one of the first games I saw was against the Lions). And I've been following the team religiously ever since. The level of obsession turned up a notch when I joined the site in 2006, and at the same time got a quick lesson in forum etiquette. Funny thing is it's thanks to this site that I easily have surpassed my own Father in terms of knowledge about the team, at least the team since the turn of the century. I'm still a little rusty when it comes to the history of the Redskins.
