I'm not sure why, but I find the plight of sports fans and athletes on eBay and Craigslist fascinating. Whether it's championship rings up for bid or fake athlete sales (except Jake Delhomme -- that wasn't a joke), it's just amusing.
But I get the awkward feeling that there's nothing remotely humorous about this Redskins fan who is slinging his attendance on Craigslist.
Don't want to go to the game?See, I get that feeling by the next-to-last sentence: "This is not a joke." I also get that feeling because I've watched a few 'Skins games this year and they're awful. I mean, just horrible. (But you already knew that.) You may recall them coughing up a game-winning drive to the aforementioned @JakeSixPicks, which happened to be my miserable Panthers' first win of the season.
ME NEITHER.
I will, however, watch my beloved Skins for a fair price. Please send me your ticket offers and I'll consider ruining my Sunday by trekking out to FedEx to watch these overpaid fantasy football "stars" drop 13 points on a winless team and win by 1. I will NOT buy anything from inside the Snyderdome but I will still cheer on my Skins. Please no lowballing, I'll only attend if the compensation is adequate.
Danny, please don't take this down. This is not a joke.
Go Redskins.
You may also recall the 'Skins nearly losing to the Rams. And the Bucs. And actually losing to the previously 0-19 Detroit Lions. And, well, yeah, you get the point: if you're a Redskins fan, why bother trucking all the way out to FedEx Field each week, overpaying for decent food and plowing through a couple hundred bucks on beer just to drown your sorrows.
This is why Al Gore invented DirecTV. And also why Jim Zorn is about to get fired. But that's a story for next week.

And another alleged Redskins "fan" shoots to get his name or story in a blog or newspaper. It's en vogue now. Same with the "paper bag guy." I think the fact that the media has been able to find ONE guy with a brown paper bag on tells you a) how loyal true Redskins fans really are, and b) what a douche the paper bag guy is. Yes, this franchise is in disarray, and every fan knows that Snyder MUST fire Cerrato and hire a bonafide Head Coach with an experienced GM. But rumors of our 12th Man's complete and utter demise is greatly exagerrated.
I loved the skins growing up and thought they were the best. I would not watch one of their games now if I were paid. Reason? Simple, Dan Snyder has paid some clown who is past his prime 100 million dollars. Yes, 100 Million bucks while we lay of teachers, librarians, cops and firemen. Greed! Sad thing is Haynesworth is not worth 2 million dollars. All of the skins fans are jumping ship lately. There is a reason. The skins are losers. Extravagence is not attractive to your average person or fan.
