Re: What Should I Tell My Son?
it actually matters to me and I was impressed that Jason Campbell knew it. I knew my high school's fight song and I played there for free...

Re: What Should I Tell My Son?
Tell your son to slide Ladell a break, what counts is that he moves the ball and crosses the plane. Besides, Hail to the Redskins is more of the fans' celebration; it's executing our 12th Manmenship. How many would have cheered less if, say, The Hogs couldn't belt HTTR? And speaking of fans singing, we're shaky at that...ever notice how half the stadium tanks during the middle of the song?

Re: What Should I Tell My Son?
This isn't So You Think You Know The Lyrics (or whatever that show is called). We're trying to get to a Super Bowl, not a karaoke bar.

Re: What Should I Tell My Son?
The important thing is that he knows the music (that's all that's played). The more we score at home the more he hears the music. If 91000 people would sing along everytime he'd learn it.

Re: What Should I Tell My Son?
I'll admit I don't know all the words.
Who cares. |

When I was a little kid I was always told to ignore the people watching and focus on the game. I did it so much so I had no clue when my girlfriends for were screaming for me to do well, never heard them. Kind of like Costner on "For the love of the game" when he says clear the mechanism. I'd tell him that Betts needs to focus on the game, and the hail to the redskins song is for us, not for them.

Re: What Should I Tell My Son?
Have your son send him a letter with the words to the song.

Re: What Should I Tell My Son?
Although Betts doesn't know the words to HTTR, let's remember he probably bypassed much more money in FA to stay with the Skins.
