I dont live in Dc, and Im not from DC. lol.
I am born and raised in Altoona PA (its about an hour and a half away from Pittsburgh). I became a Redskins fan because in 1989 (I was age 5), I went out to eat with my parents at a Pizza Hut and I just started watching football. I lived in Steeler Country but I F******* HATED the Steelers and HATED the hick fans I saw on a daily basis (my family are hick fans, yes). Anyways, I still didnt know all the NFL teams, and when I was in Pizza Hut, I went to one of those "Claw machines" and put a quarter in. The claw picked up this pretty decent sized Redskin Doll/figure and it was a little indian with a Redskin helmet on holding a football. My dad told me who they were and that night we went home and they were on MNF and I watched them slaughter the Lions, I have been an absolute die hard fan ever since.
Anyways, about the owner question:
I hate that our owner has basically screwed our team for over a decade. I cant stand that he throws his power and weight around and hires his friend slike Vinny freaking Cerratto who just had no football knowledge at all and would pay guys like Albert Haynesworth, Jason Taylor etc who were WAY passed their prime and just wanted a retirement benefit. Vinny is the reason we sucked for years. However, I am very happy that Snyder has backed off the past 3 years and gave the reigns to Shanny and Bruce Allen and let them build the team. Its obviously worked out. We have rebuilt the team and now have a good, young, and very competititve roster. I couldnt be happier and even if we would have went 4-12 this year, I wouldnt want Shanny fired. I just want Snyder to continue doing what he has done the past 3 years. Write checks and shut up. Same thing about Jerry Jones, he needs to shut up and hire a GM, but he wont. Which is good for us because I hate the cowgirls. But, him and Snyder are comparable in that sense.
Almost forgot, thanks to the one guy who answered my questions that had his reply get "zapped" by technical issues. I typed a long reply in here before and it was zapped as well, silly computers. Anyways, thanks for re-writing, even if it was just a paraphrase.
That "guy" was me....the one, the only, the legend in my own mind...The Gipper.
I am so legendary that the Browns decided...in homage to me...to acquire a player that nearly matches my name.
The only other legend on here that can match that is Zombo...but in his case it was the Packers that got a guy with his name.
And of course, the other legend you met is Ghoulie. Don't be taken aback so badly. Him saying "Fuck you" to a fan of another team and then insulting you is tantamount to Andy Griffith saying Howdy.
You have officially been welcomed when that happens.
