I hear science will soon make it possible for people to live hundreds of years. So just think of the possibilities.

Why would you be at least 70? Who's to say they don't go to one within the next 10 years?

Well if history repeats itself it wouldn't be that long. I'm 22 now. The Redskins went to their first Super Bowl in '72, which was 6 years after it was announced that was the name of the championship game, but they didn't win their first Super Bowl until '82, so using that timeframe from 6 years from now the Skins might make the Super Bowl in 2017 (I'll go 6 years from the date of this year's SB) but they won't win it until 2027, which by that time I'll be 38. That still is a lengthy drought though, I don't want to wait another 16 years. The Cowboys/Eagles/Giants could have multiple opportunities at more trophies by then.

But then again, the 'Skins SB drought could last decades, or just a couple years. We just need to right the ship, I'd rather be a team that wins multiple SB's than win just 1 in the next couple decades.

I honestly feel bad for you younger fans. All you guys have seen is losing.

Hey, I've had some moments, 14-13 in '05, 35-7 in '05, Sean Taylor returning the Eagles fumble to seal the win and the playoffs for the Redskins in '05, 5 in a row or we don't go in '05, beating the Bucs in the playoffs in '05, beating the Cowboys miraculously in '06 on S.T's return of a blocked field goal, winning 4 in a row at the end '07 to make the playoffs again, and I s'pose that covers most of it. Success will come to those that are patient, and I'm just going to have to be patient until the 'Skins turn this ship around.
