It’s New Year’s Eve tonight, and like most Redskins fans, I’ll be partying 2012 out, and bringing in 2013 as a fan of the NFC East Division Champs.<\/p>\n

Normally on this day, it’s traditional to sing Auld Lang Syne; but I thought given the landscape in Washington these days – maybe we should change the words a bit.<\/p>\n

Here you go:<\/p>\n

Should old Skins quarterbacks be forgot,
\nWell most of them, at least.
\nShould old Skins quarterbacks be forgot,
\nBecause of R-G-3<\/p>\n

CHORUS:
\nFor R-G-3, my hogs,<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 for R-G-3,<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 we’ll sip from Lombardi’s cup again,<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thanks to R-G-3.<\/em><\/p>\n

And surely you’ll buy yourself a beer,
\nand maybe one for me…
\nWhen we win a Super Bowl again,
\nBecause of R-G-3<\/p>\n

CHORUS<\/p>\n

We fans have stood up well for years,
\nAnd waited patiently…
\nBut we’ve wandered for bloody long enough,
\nHoping for an R-G-3<\/p>\n

CHORUS<\/p>\n

We fans have battled losing seasons,
\nSupporting, despite defeat…
\nWe finally see an ending to our pain,
\nAnd it’s R-G-3<\/p>\n

CHORUS<\/p>\n

I raise my glass to my brethren,
\nNow raise your glass to me,
\nLet’s make a toast to our beloved Skins,
\nAnd to R-G-3<\/p>\n

For R-G-3, my hogs,
\nfor R-G-3,
\nwe’ll sip from Lombardi’s cup again,
\nSCREAM IT… R-G-3.<\/p>\n

I’ll be singing it a 12:01 – top of my lungs – hope you will be too.<\/p>\n

All hail the Washington Redskins – your 2012 NFC East Division Champs.<\/p>\n

… at least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
