With the exception of New York, I can’t imagine a better place to open the NFL season on September 11th than in our nation’s capital. As promised, Isaac’s partnered with THN to host this year’s inaugural tailgate party. That wonderful smell coming from the green lot was the smell of filet mignon being cooked up on the Freedom Grill by Isaac’s chef Joe Quade. This was by far the best tailgate meal I’ve enjoyed in 4 years of tailgating at FedEx. (OK maybe not better than my crab cakes!) Thanks again to Isaac’s, we look forward to a great season with you!
We were joined at the tailgate by JP Fair, JansenFan, Jake, Skinchic, 1974 and Mrs.1974 as well as all the Hogettes. We also had many first timers there, sorry if I missed anyone, if you stop by our tailgate party be sure to introduce yourself to the THN crew!! We also made lots of new friends like Robin and Pamela.
The day was made complete with a hard fought win highlighted by a great effort by our defense. As the clock was winding down on our first victory of the season, the crowd reminded me that it was Dallas week, by chanting ‘We Want Dallas”.
For all the information on our tailgating, be sure to visit the Tailgating Section of THN’s website. Be sure to also check in each week and look at the tailgating pictures.
