It's the lack of direction that's killing me. While on boycott I'm rooting for the Ravens. It's not with the same passions as the Skins but I can't give blind support to a franchise that does give a sh$t about their fans.

That's too bad but I feel your pain. I'm not at the end of the rope but Snyder and Cerrato are pushing me there. The lack of direction and structure is very frustrating.

I just can't seem to like any other teams but ones I was brought up on. (O's, Skins, Bullets/Wiz, Caps),

I've tried to like the Ravens especially since they're practically local, but everytime I watch them, I find myself hoping that they'll lose.

EDIT: Okay.. I do like the Red Sox. But other than that nobody else.

Ditto! Even though I have quite a few of them on my fantasy team.

I know what you're saying. I watched the Ravens beat up on the Broncos and its not the same. When the Skins beat someone like the Giants, Eagles or Cowboys, I'm hyped up for a week. I don't know if those days will ever return. Like I said, I'm hanging by a thread, Danny can reel me in by taking action in right direction. This organization must change. It's the laughing stock of the league. They have past the Raiders, Lions and Browns.

I don't think a die hard fan would do that.

I've always had 2nd and 3rd favorite teams (Saints and Bengals (apparently I'm a masochist)). The Bengals used to be #2, but after living in New Orleans for a brief period and having my fiancee as a Saints fan, I'm pulling hard for them now. Certainly not more so than the Skins, but definitely rooting for them.

No one ever takes the number 1 spot, not even for a season, but I've always rooted for those teams when they were not playing the Skins.

Outside of football, I'm an O's and Hornets fan with the Wizards making a comeback. I'm a strange kind of basketball fan, I follow players more than teams excluding the two I listed. So, I like to watch plenty of teams because of players I like, but I root for the Wizards and Hornets regardless (unless the Hornets let CP3 go, then I'm off that).

I'm actually a Pats fan, mainly cause I play in a 4 player keeper league and have had Brady for 5 years.... so I'm always rooting for Brady. But I like some of their other players and they're very well coached.

No other favorite NFL team for me. I do have individual favorite players from other teams that I like to watch, but not favorite teams. Only the Redskins. They can be 0-16 and I'd still be a Redskins fan.

There have been a lot of good things mentioned that really come into play on this. I think what it comes down to, for me, is the emotional attachment I have to the team... well over 30 years. On the flip side though, it really is difficult to care for a team in which it appears that the owner has no care for, outside of monitary gain. If Snyder did care, he would do something about it. But then, I think about how successful of a business man he is, that he must know something I don't. Clearly he doesn't know how to run a football organization, but you would think he knows something about operations, and if your key man running the operation isn't producing results, you take the accountability back to him. I just can't imagine him being so blind.

Yes, I will never give up on our Burgandy and Gold, they will always be number one in my heart. Hell, I am even wearing my gear out publicly, if anything, it is a great conversation starter.
