Greetings Redskin Nation!
First off, a confession. I'm not a die hard Redskin fan. I am, however, a die hard football fan. Growing up an hour south of Green Bay, Wisconsin will do that to you. As you may have guessed, I am indeed a green blooded Packer fan and I make no excuses for it. It's in my blood and I devour all things green and gold. To this, I think we as football fans can relate and my hope is that my presence here will be tolerated - although I fully understand that for at least one week next season, I will be the enemy. Fair enough.
I am also a Soldier and have been for some time. Time enough that my dusty boots will be put up for good before long. Uncle Sam was kind enough to relocate me and my family to Virginia and, to be honest, we like the landscape so much so that we don't intend on leaving. Obviously, this will take some compromise with my football allegiances.
Truthfully, I have always been fond of the burgundy and gold and my hope is to cultivate a "hometown" bond with this team that rivals that of my hometown Packers. Heck, if nothing else, my dislike of everything Jerry Jones should give me a good start!
So greetings to all and here's hoping for some great conversation from level headed and knowledgeable football fans!
