It was Lombardi and George Allen who got me hooked about the time that I was old enough to get hooked. By the mid-70's it was all over for me in terms of fandom.

A few years ago my political conscience told me that maybe I should root for a team with a more correct nickname. So I tried rooting against the Redskins. I couldn't pull it off for more than 5 minutes. I have burgundy and gold blood. Not rooting for the Redskins was like rooting for the Cowboys - it cannot be done!
