Can I Be a Skins Fan and a Ray Lewis Fan?

Yes, Ray Lewis is an amazing football player, and I suppose he does a good job of motivating his teammates but he annoys the hell out of me for his bitching when things don't go his way and the amount of trash he talks when things do. Plus, there was that whole murder thing.

Their fans do it too. My best friend is a Ravens fan and she immediately blamed the officiating on their loss.

I wanted to say "Come on, take your lumps just like the Skins fans do, it's not so hard."

There is no shame in appreciating incredible talent and wanting to see certain players do well. But it is confusing when you root for different teams. Take for instance last night. I care nothing about the Vikings or the Packers, but I did enjoy seeing Favre sticking it to his old team. Jared Allen is a beast. I'm wandering the whole time, how come the Skins didn't try to sign him as a free agent over Jason Taylor. Adrian Peterson...I enjoy watching him anytime. Watching him is like watching Barry Sanders and Jim Brown wrapped into one player...you got to appreciate great talent. Wish they played for the Skins.

The Skins could have drafted Adrian Peterson but they selected LaRon Landry when they already had Sean Taylor...uwe!

This is how I see it. I'm also a fan of Ed Reed. Why? I am a Miami Hurricanes fan AND a Redskins fan. Miami has given the Skins many great players, but other teams too. I just can't suddenly hate college players I rooted for because they're not on the Skins.

Now if they're on an NFC East rival...yeah I'll root against them, at least when they play the Skins.
