Hail to the Redskins !!

Well, it's Wednesday, and I should have posted this yesterday. Congratulations to the Washington Redskins for starting their season 2 -0 after defeating the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. It was kind of nice having the 'Skins win one in Philly, as we usually end up getting pasted by Donovan McNabb. I watched the entire game, and only really got pissed at Jason Campbell twice. Once was his terrible interception, and the second was a missed touchdown pass to perhaps the best Redskin of all, Santana Moss. I'll admit it, when we traded Lavernaeus Coles to the Jets even up for Santana, I was a little annoyed. All I knew about him was that he was fast, but injured a lot. His first season with us, I was blown away. Just so fast, and such a quiet leader. He was nothing like I expected him to be, as I was really expecting a player who in losing by 40 points, still does a little dance when he gets a first down. I hate that type of player.

Congratulations to Chris Cooley (my favorite Redskin) on his new contract, and the incredible catch he made for a touchdown. He's going to be a 'Skin for a few more years, and I couldn't be happier. I've been a big Cooley fan since he came into the league. First off, he's a Utah State alum (like Mom), he plays the game like it should be played on the field, and he's a colorful figure off the field too. The Philly press was trying to hammer him and Clinton Portis for making a scene at the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City after the game, but I loved it. I also loved all the people who I work with giving me crap about how we were "lucky", and that the Eagles lost the game more than the 'Skins won it. I told them that in the end, the only stat that counts is the final score. I don't care how we won two games, we won them. Hopefully it continues, but if it doesn't ... that's fine as well. I love my Redskins through good, bad, ugly, and indifferent. I'm trying to find a Cooley jersey now on eBay, so wish me luck.
