Hey watch what you say that is my cousin Thom Brennaman announcing the game last week.

This is where i've been this year. I mean, if they don't care enough to put a quality product on the field, i don't care enough to carve time out of my schedule to watch it. It's just a team playing just a sport. Ambivalence is what they should be fearing.

you know I did the same thing for the bucs game- and I actually felt like I accomplished something with the day. Unfortunately I was back at the bar for the panthers game last sunday- can't seem to shake it, but its a start. Isn't there a site we could start? I had a buddy that started a fireisiah.com (isiah thomas) site a few years back- not sure it did any good, but...

There is already a poorly run "firevinny.com" or something like that...i don't know.

Im with matty here, think of it as having your sunday's (and mental health back).

I'm still watching every game, but online.. no more money wasted at the bar. Hell last week I even stopped buying beer for the game.

I am not judging anyone who is finding better use of their time then watching this terrible team. But I can't turn away...I have to see every second live. I don't know why either...if I tried to do something else I would just obsess about whats going on in the game. I don't agree with most of what they do...every other thing i write on here is about how much I can't stand Snyderatto yet I just can't stop watching.

Celts - sounds like you need a 12-step plan to wean you off of bad football ;-)

A lot of people are that way about watching car wrecks.

Honestly though, even if they were 5-0 right now I'm not sure my approach would be much different. I have things to do with my life. I've been through the whole dedicate your entire weekend to the Redskins (more than many here), but like I said I've got things to do, places to be, people to see.

Why do you have to dedicate an entire weekend to the Skins to watch a 3 hour football game? That leaves you 45 hours of your weekend for anything else you may want to do. I personally decided last weekend after the game if the weather is right I would go fishing over watching the game but other then that I have 3 hours to watch. This weekend the forcast is for 20mph winds so fishing is out so I'll watch the game. I have a TV in my garage which I'm trying to finally finish so while the game is on I'll trim out the windows and the lay the base board. That way I have not waisted my time but still get to see the game.

Well I was referring more so to when I was covering the Redskins back in the late 90s, early 00s and was prepping for our coverage on Saturday and then all the pre game, in game, and post game stuff on Sunday. Then the Monday morning recap.

And getting paid to do so right? So things have changed with that either way.

I definitely do not share in that approach haha

Maybe if life was more exciting up here, but as soon as I got home I'd be looking to see if the game was on the torrents yet.

Herein lies the greatest, and one of the largest conglomerates of same-sayers found anywhere discussing the state of the Redskins organization. It behooves me how the "little man" can be sitting somewhere idly by, absorbing every word we print and continuing to stand by his conviction "If it ain't broke don't fix it" attitude.

It behooves me how for the better part of a decade he can watch his team become an exercise in futility, and not heed the advice from so many wisdom dwellers far superior in the knowledge of kingdom building. However, something tells me that despite his stubborness and seemingly unwillingness to adjust, there's no way he won't eventually adhere to the logic of his detractors and change his evil ways.
