I moved my wife and 3 sons (15, 12, and 10) from California 4 years ago.... even then I was raising my boys to be Redskins fans... would take them to see them play the Raiders, and the (then LA) Rams. It was a tough chore selling them on a team that had not had a winning season during their exsistance... but it stuck. Now, living up in Cecil county, every year we go to the training camp, draft day party, took them to Ravens scrimmage. It is an awesome feeling seeing these 3 boys of mine clamber on the sectional, kick on the 50"... "DAD!... the game is about to start! You are going to miss the kick-off..." LMAO, like they don't think I know when the game starts. They just get so excited...

So... back to the thead.... It would be very devistating! I don't even like to think that way. My #2 son sounds like BSB, can't sleep, this is all he can talk about. Throwing me different kinds of scenarios... what if Ramsey does start? Do you think the Eagles are going to be the spoilers? How about Norv, Dad, don't you think they will really try to beat the Giants so he can do his old team a favor? LOL... yeah, there is a lot of excitement around this house.

The Redskins flag is already hanging outside, one on the Jeep too. All are decked in burg ang gold for the day.... the boys save their jerseys for game day. So much tradition/superstition around here.

I don't like to think about a loss. My house will be in mourning.... shades will be pulled, lights off in th house, garage door down...

Great post!!!! Welcome to the board. HAIL SKINS
