You have a good point, that would be tempting. I'm kinda superstitious, so I would not switch to the game because it would jinx them and cause them to start losing.

Speaking of superstition. I told this girl living with me, not to talk to me during the game and right when the punt at the end of the game was kicked, she walked in to the room i was watching the game in and asked me if i wanted a beer. As she is saying that im watching the game and i see a fair catch being called, and again I hear the vioce of defeat "Do u need a beer" and BAM there goes the game. Im sorry for the loss fellas. I keep thinking if only I filled the ice chest up and locked the door. We would have won but no, I focused to much on what i was wearing the last game we won, and what mug i was drinking out of, and that i was opening the beers before the play not during. I could go on but. It was all her fault, The Bringer of Defeat. And trust me she had an earful of my drunkin rant, of how she is all that is evil in the world. And why at that moment and time did she have to come and ask me for a beer? While during the whole game i did not hear a peep.

Am I over reacting?

Maybe...but just in case.....is there a friends house she can stay at during the game?

Smootsmack I'm not the one with 25,000 plus posts on a web site dedicated to a team I don't even watch.

I'd say you need a time machine.

I was on Game Day Threads HGH from 2004-2006 so really there should be an asterisk next to 21,879 of my posts

Seriously though, what's with all the bandwagoning, ambiguous group of posers and spineless suburbanite naysayers?

Look, if you want to go March on FedEx then more power to you. Yeah I post a lot here because I enjoy discussing the Redskins, the NFL, and other subjects with most people here. But, it's just not my thing to make any frustration I have about the success of a team that truthfully at the end of the day has no bearing on my life a personal cause of mine. And I don't think any less of others who feel the same.

Last Sunday, the Redskins won. Monday morning I got up, kissed my wife good-by, walked out the door went to work, talked Redskins with friends and family...This Sunday, the Redskins lost. Monday morning I got up, kissed my wife good-by, walked out the door, went to work, talked Redskins with friends and family. Only difference was this week it's not as fun to talk about them (not that it was almost that much last week either)

Great post. I love the Redskins A LOT, and some of my best memories as a child were at games at RFK. But at the end of the day, if they stink or succeed, it's not going to have much of an affect on my life. I get emotional in the heat of the moment during the games, but I'm sure as hell not gonna waste any other energy or time sweating their shortcomings (aside from posting here that is).

I can see the pursuit of having someone like you understand the phiosophical congruity between life and sport is a lost cause. I hope that you recognize that your indifference toward this team is only a reflection of the way the team responds to its fans.

Sorry dude but there are alot like SS that have a ton of post here and love the skins that feel the same way. At one time a loss would bring me down for a day or two but at some point in life I decided that it was not worth it. Last Sunday after we lost I sat there for a few minutes ticked then got up and moved on with life.

Just don't go to the games. For the season ticket holders, walk out before halftime, stage a protest outside the stadium to draw the medias attention.
The main thing to do to get Snyder's attention is to stop being his personal ATM machine. With the TV cameras showing an empty stadium and no money coming in, the little jerk will get the message and be forced to make constructive changes.

I quit listening to ESPN 980, a Dan Snyder station. Now it's strictly 106.7 for me, with better reception anyway.

So JLee9718 have you finally gotten that unfiltered analysis that you cannot get from 980 ? Pretty much sounds like everything that you can get from 980 doesn't it ? No one shoes any type of favortism to Danny, not "his" station or the other one.

You guys boycott all that you want, just make sure that you let him know that he was right about Campbell while you're kicking him in the nuts.
