Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
Ive got kind of a good one, but its recent...
I just got back from SE Asia, where I was for the first 3 games of the season. As soon as I left I realized that I had forgotten to pack my Portis jersey, that I normally wear to all the games. I am REALLY superstitious so I worried for the first month of my trip that I had jinxed us. And after watching the first game against the Giants, I was sure that I had... So I scoured the better part of SE Asia looking for a Skins jersey (Id have settled for a 1995 Heath Shuler jersey if thats what it took) but there was nothing at all. Finally, getting desperate, I found a shop in Cambodia that advertised custom name and number soccer jerseys. I went in, picked the one that most closely resembled the Skins (incidentally, the Spanish National Team, I think) and ordered myself a Laron Landry soccer jersey...the thing looks ridiculous, but at least it is (sort of) a Skins jersey! I think we all know what happened for the next three games, and after that Cowboys win I am convinced that it has got to be a magic jersey. So if we keep winning, remember not to make fun of the guy at FedEx with the absurd looking Laron Landry soccer jersey! Here's me in Cambodia all psyched about my new "jersey"...

Re: REDSKIN RITUALS. What weird things do you do to help the 'Skins kick butt on Sundays???
Here's one that I like. We have started eating a food that represents the opposing teams home city or region. Started by accident with New Orleans, then kept it going. I actually don't think it has anything to do with the team's performance but it is a good way to eat some different meals each Sunday.
New Orleans: Jumbalaya (W) Arizona: Fajitas (W) Dallas: Grilled New York Strips (don't care for Texas BBQ and cows, cowboys, pretty close) (W) Philadelphia: Cheesesteaks (W) On deck, St. Louis: Toasted Ravioli (?)

In season's past, I would wear whatever color jersey the Skins were wearing that day. This year, I haven't kept to superstitions of years' past...I'm just rolling with the punches, doing whatever on game day, eating whatever on game day, etc. and it's working thus far...
