Quick Hitters: Booing in Week 2

[Spence]

TE Chris Cooley and some other Redskins [1-1] have voiced their irritation over the boos that came raining down on the team -- specifically, the soporific offense -- during and immediately after yesterday's 9-7 win over the hapless St. Louis Rams [0-2]. I'm not a booer myself [I don't recall ever booing the Redskins or any specific Redskins player], but I don't have a problem with booing, particularly in this circumstance. It may be tough for millionaire athletes like Cooley to understand, but mostly middle class fans paying enormous ticket prices and parking fees that ought to inspire a Congressional investigation do eventually become exhausted and annoyed with an offense that, year after year is not only bad, but extremely boring. The Rams lost by 28 points last week to a Seahawks team that won't be representing the NFC in the Super Bowl, but the Redskins barely hung on to win that game. Last night, ESPN's Chris Berman opined that the Rams and Redskins game set the NFL back 30 years. I think he was being overly generous.
