I'm not sure that four games is going to happen this year. I think that three is the best that I am going to be able to do. So far this year went to Saints and Browns; ate tickets for Cards and Rams. Dallas is out due to family reasons. Right now toss up between Philly and NY. Also slight possibility of Seattle away, we'll see.

Holy shit man, I bow to you, easy arrangements or not!

Like most emotional discussions the important question has been overlooked. Nobody has to answer to someone else about what they do with their personal property, and a ticket IS personal property. The question is.. does selling your ticket to opposing fans help the team? Does it take away from homefield advantage and therefore hurt the team? Fans have to answer that individually and to themselves.

Mondays game was a total embarrassment for me and most likely tons of you redskins fans. I was in buffalo visiting my boyfriend (who's a die hard bills fan) and sitting there listening to the broadcasters talk about how "this looks like a steelers home game with all these towels" embarrassing..

i don't blame our loss on the fans tho.. our offense was facing the best defense in the NFL... and we didn't hit any plays right.

we got dallas tho

God bless your daughter Giantone. It's good to know our sins are not passed on to our children and they can overcome the mistakes we've made in life.

This is so true. I live is a small city is southeastern North Carolina. 20 years ago this was Redskins territory. Back in those days almost everyone in North Carolina was a Skins fan. Skins memorabilia could be found everywhere from sports stores to Grocery stores to "quickie marts". Then along came the Panthers and that took some people away but it is still pretty much split among the natives and many of them follow both teams because they grew up Skins fans but the Panthers are now our local team. What has changed is the amount of Steelers Fans who have moved into our area. We now have two Sports Bars that are known as Steelers hang outs on game days but no such bars for either the Redskins or Panthers. There is a huge Steelers fan club that advertises in the local newspaper but no such thing that I know of for either the Panthers or Skins whom most of the natives follow. People down here are fanatical about their college sports(UNC, Duke, NC State Wake etc...) and aren't very tollerant of invading fans but when it comes to the NFL I guess people have just come to grips with the fact that there are a ton of Steelers fans and they are here to stay. They're like locusts.

We need to ensure this doesn't happen vs the Cowboys, and that it DOES happen against the Ravens...
