You have to admit, the Redskins have a little something for everyone. It’s like a buffet at your local Chinese food place.
You’re an optimist? Great, come on in and grab a cupcake (with happy face frosting on top!). We’ve got a 6-2 record at the mid-way point of the season – good for second place in the best division in football, Clinton Portis is tearing up defenses, Jason Campbell hasn’t thrown a pick yet, our defense is ranked 6th in the league, and apparently we picked up another star wide receiver named ‘Santonio’.
Pessimism is more your style? Swing by and grab a drink from our half-empty glass. Despite our record, we’ve barely squeeked by two teams that we should have crushed, and lost to a winless team – at home, no less. Our defense is riddled with injuries, our draft picks are invisible, and our defensive line push is more futile than that of a constipated old guy on the toilet.
The Redskins are truly an equal opportunity team when it comes to fans, trying to offer something to everyone, to please all types. Hopefully, when this season draws to a close in whatever fashion it’s fated for, that balance between fodder for the optimists and pessimists will still hold true:
‘I know we just won the Superbowl, but did you see how crappy the defense played?’
That which we call drivel by any other name, would still be as random and incoherent….
