I lived in Washington, DC for four years, and it was more than enough time for me to come to hate the Redskins. But that was earlier this decade, when Joe Gibbs had returned to the nation's capital to rescue the franchise he had previously led to three Super Bowl titles. Gibbs was hailed as a savior, the one man who could save Dan Snyder from himself and, frankly, it all got to be a bit much. But after less than two years of Jim Zorn, I've softened my anti-'Skins stance, mostly because it's such pitiful situation. And it would be one thing if Snyder and Vinny Cerrato were the only victims in this sideshow, but Gitmo detainees have been better treated than Redskins' fans.
But as the Sports Bog's Dan Steinberg writes, some good has come from the hopelessness: "One thing about this Burgundy Revolution; whatever happens in the end, it's been beautiful to see the creative flowering this unrest has engendered."
Danny Rouhier, disaffected 'Skins supporter, has taken his story to the YouTubes. It's poignant and funny. But mostly poignant.
"Sure, everybody remembers Deion Sanders and Bruce Smith but they forget about Mark Carrier. Mark Carrier sucked the most."
"Adam Archuleta was a terrible signing ... I hate that guy so much."
The worst part: this video was made prior to Sunday's debaclement against the Chiefs.
