Redskins Fan Selling His Attendance at Home Games (Via Craiglist, Natch)

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?

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.

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.

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.
