Re: Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, Mocks, Camps, OTAs, Roster Predictions,
I knew as much before you took the time to explain it again. I understand loyalty, and for the rest of my life I will carry the calcium buildup where I broke my arm in a car wreck after flying 3400 for a playoffs game in Seattle...a game I still attended before I had the injury addressed medically.
I understand loyalty being one of only a handful of Redskins' fans in the stadium when the clock struck 0:00 on a Monday night loss when even fat defensive players gave up on plays flailing around on the ground.
I understand loyalty as I weathered freezing cold rain conditions to watch our home stadium get taken over by fans of that dreaded team from Dallass.
I understand loyalty, your stubborn old coot...handsome as you may be.
Dan Snyder doesn't understand it. So I am leaving.
And to be clear, I'm not waiting for a winning record to come back...just a winning attitude in the FO from someone other than the failure currently there. I will return when I see the FO change, and will give them the same opportunity I mistakenly gave this organization this past season. But they only have one more shot, or I'm done for good. And this upcoming season is not that last chance. When Allen and Gruden are gone, I will give them that last chance. This upcoming season, I'll teach my son to hunt now that he's old enough. It's been too long since I was in the woods.

Let me splain where I am.
One day, my dedication my evaporate. If it does, I'll be gone forever. I won't leave, and then return only when winning does. I'll walk away, and never look back. I won't second guess my decision. And I won't regret.
