My bestie's hubby is an Eagles fan and I dated one, lol

Also a 3 month stint in Media, PA
Both my parents (Mom from 9 on) grew up in Philadelphia. My dad lived near Temple and my mom in south Philly. My grandparents moved to Glenolden after my dad moved out. I was born in NE Philly. My dad's oldest brother lived in Media.

My GGGG grandfather was from Nether Providence, he left in his early 20s and moved to the eastern panhandle of WV. He eventually moved back across the state line into western MD.

bet we don,t bendover like last year.

This guy seems to think we’ll go 4-0 vs the panthers, bears, giants, and steelers.

That seems farfetched to me.

We should beat the oanthers and giants. I see the bears and steelers as toss ups considering how well CWilliams has been playing with the weapons he has, and the steelers being the steelers (a consistent winner - see what I did there, Sty?!?! :D)

I could see 3–1 or 2-2.
I did [and in a British servant voice]
'It was most amusing sir!'

I was a Philadelphia everything fan but when we moved to just outside DC I rooted for all the Washington teams. I grew up 7 miles from RFK.

No wonder you have so many great stories and memories. You could have pedaled to the games.
Yep ... as long as I had my Glock & Tech 9. LOL .... Actually we don't go through Coral Hills (right before the DC line) without a couple o buddy's. Kind of like the movie the Outsiders.

ever thought of writing a book or a blog about it?there are,nt many good redskn books around.
Not really. Writing was never a strong point of mine. There are only a few of us like you, dad, Sty and I that go back to the 60s with the team. Some like kbso goes back to the 80s I believe and I know some never saw the Redskins when they were good. I am hoping for that again and I think we will get there with Josh. It is a whole different feeling when you wake up on Sundays and expect the team to win.

I loved the 80s and winning Super Bowls but I think my favorite time was the 60s and 70s with Bobby, Charley, Jerry Smith, Sonny, Larry Brown, Pat Fischer, Paul Kraus an Hanburger. They were the players of my youth.

I like the direction the team is going in but like Cali says I am staying medium for now. I am happy with what we have seen from JD5 but also remember all the hype with Griffin. I think Jayden has more QB skills then Griffin, hell I think he has more QB skills then Lamar but time will tell. Daniels seems to be well grounded, I hope and I think that will continue.

I think that lots of guys beyond here would love and go apeshit over anything about our beloved redskins.
