We probably don't need to get into this again.

The reality is most of us who claim to be Redskins fans probably really are. The reality is we are 5-5. The reality is if the playoffs started right now we wouldn't be in it. The reality is the season isn't over yet. The reality is we're very much in the hunt. The reality is we've been in this position before and have made the playoffs. The reality is we've been in this position before and haven't made the playoffs.

The reality is if you are a fan yet don't believe the Redskins stand a chance that's your prerogative and your fanhood need not be questioned. The reality is if you are a fan and believe the Redskins will put together a strong run and make the playoffs that's your prerogative and, realizing the way this team has played, your sense of reality need not be questioned.

The reality is that while we all share a passion for our favorite teams, sports are a form of entertainment for most of us. And sometimes its ok to remember that, and remind ourselves that we turn to sports and entertainment because they allow us to suspend reality.

Just keepin' it real.
