These days, it's getting harder to stay interested in this Redskins team, much less upbeat and positive.

In 9 games, we've managed to win only 3, two of which came against teams currently tied for the worst record in the entire NFL, and the other looked to be heading toward a blowout loss until the opposing quarterback got knocked out of the game. Chris Samuels, the best offensive lineman on an otherwise sub-par unit, is done for the year and probably his career. Portis is out....

Earlier this week while reading about a six-year old boy who flew away in his father's homemade helium ship on Cnn.com, I was lucky to read at least one headline that didn't make me convinced the apocalypse was upon us - Garth Brooks was coming out of retirement.



Now, those that know me will attest to the fact that I'm not a big Garth fan. Don't listen...

First and foremost, a win's a win, and I'll take 'em ugly all year long.

Going into Week 1, Jason Campbell was under a lot of pressure. His excuses were running out, as was his contract, so we as a fan base were eager to see him finally step up and be the franchise quarterback that we all hope he can be.

'Twas the night before training camp, when all through the land,
Not a player was clubbing, except maybe PacMan;

The helmets were hung in the clubhouse with care,
In hopes that the season soon would be there;

The players were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Lombardi danced in their heads;

And coach and his flattop, all gelled up and damp,
Had better hunker down for a long summer's camp;

And out...
