It's a great day to be a Redskin fan

We have three more games this year and I plan to savor every one in glorious HDTV recorded on my DVR so I don't miss a play. Just some of the few things to appreciate as a Redskin fan today:
- We have a competent new regime who aren't falling in the quick fix trap. Those who think tanking the team and signing a rookie squad are just wrong. You have to build winning systems and continue to infuse youth. Signings like Brown to help solidify the line are critical to and not counter two a youth movement.
- Our new regime is working with Danny, but aren't hand puppets like Vinnie was. The whole ignore Danny movement among some fans is just naive. But no, he's not a football whiz. He's not even a football mediocrity, he's a fan with more dollars then sense. You need the balance of working with him but not actually doing his stupid ideas.
- We do have some players in our era who will be remembered as we remember guys like Larry Brown and Art Monk now. When I look back, Portis will be one of my favorites, a guy who gives his all on every play.
ey, Moss, Landry, Fletcher. And of course the late Sean Taylor, who died just as he was emerging as a special player. And McNabb is the real deal. I hope he plays the next five years with us. Though transitioning to a mentoring role.
- We can still sweep Dallas
And the title was a rouse, every day is a great day to be a Redskin fan. You just have to look at the right things. But seriously, while it's fun to get into the debate over the things that suck and don't suck, I don't get why anyone who doesn't love being a Redskin fan each and every day doesn't just go away and not come back. We'll be happier, and you will too. It's football for God's sake. It's there for fun. If you aren't having any, you're just missing the boat on what this is all about.
