“You know, sometimes you want to go home. You want to get down on yourself. But at the end of the day, you just remember why you’re here and what got you here, and what’ll bring you through. They always say, you know you believe in God, and He’ll bring you through all things. You know in tough times, that’s the test of your faith. That’s when you really gotta focus. Just understand to be patient. That’s one thing I learned. People were like, 'Why are you always so calm, why are you so patient?' It’s not because of me. It’s because I gave it to the Lord, and I believe in Him so much that He’s going to bring me through.”

I wish baby Jesus would have helped him find the endzone at the end of the Cowboys game.

Seven pound, five ounce baby Jesus

hahah. Glad somebody got that joke.

And my comment was completely in jest, no intent to offend anybody or anything.

Merry Christmas all!

RELAX MAN WE WILL BE FINE FOR THE 1ST TIME IN AWILE I FEEL GOOD ABOUT WHATS GOING TO BE! GO SKINSSSSSS

Hey I'm with you man. I think we have a good chance to take care of Minnesota this weekend. I'm just enjoying the ride!

The number '17' means a lot to Washington Redskins players and fans alike. Why you might ask? Because it was the number worn by Billy Kilmer, the quarterback that led the Redskins to their first Super Bowl appearance. But in 1992, Doug Williams, number '17' led the Redskins to their third Super Bowl victory. But now, Jason Campbell proudly wears '17.' Does this mean the Redskins could be headed for a Super Bowl appearance in the near future? According to Jason, his success has nothing to do with a number.

A glaring mistake by this writer. Rypien did it in 92, Williams in 88.

I don't blame the guy, Williams QB'ed the team for what, a year and a half!

I never have understood Doug's cult following with Redskins fans. Sure he had a great 1/4 in the games biggest game, but so did Timmy Smith and Ricky Sander. They both set SB records as well, but you don't see anyone wearing Smith #36 (most people associate that number w/Taylor's rookie season) or Sanders #83.

Ricky Sanders was by far, a much more important part of two SB runs than Williams was, but Williams still has that cult following.

I don't get it!

Find a tape of the entire game and you'll see. The first pass hit Sanders exaclty in stride at full speed. I only wish Campbell could do that.

Q2 of SB 22 was an entire team playing Gibbs football. Timmy Smith didn;t magically get through the line: that was Jacoby, Grimm, Bostic Thieleman, and May running the counter-trey...the play that "modern" fans ridicule. Some of the passes came off of counter-trey blocking.

Art Monk played with a sprined knee and still ripped a ball away from a Bronco for a 20 or 30 yard gain that took the ball out from under the Redskins goal-post. Barry Wilburn intercepted Elway with a move that most ballet dancers could make.

Clark stretched for a pass tat Williams put just out of the Bronco defendewr's reach...stretched and curled around the ball. Monk, still limping, hit a Bronco defender so hard that the Bronco went out of the game.

Dave Butz flattened two -- got that, two blockers to squash an Elway QB draw and force them to settle for their FG in Q1.

The Broncos got maybe two or three first downs in Q2, and no, zero points.

Watch the tape, and about the only pass that Williams missed was thrown away. All others were not just on target, but in-stride.

Oh...one more thing. The entire SB buildup said that Williams was a chump, a backup, a nobody. He was pounded with questions about how he felt being the first black QB to play in the SB. Golden boy Elway was praised every minute. The great Elway. The perfect Elway. The smoking-armed Elway. The already-Hall-of-Famer.

Williams was mentioned mostly as the "bum" who was going in against "the champ".

That, and, oh, four TD passes in one quarter, is enough to make Doug Williams bigger than just a cult.
