Save the clown shoes for the inevitable arrival of a certain Eagles fan.

Oh yeah, I forgot to do my intro.
Became a Redskins fan in 1986. Neither of my parents were Skins fans. My dad doesn't follow football and my mom was a Baltimore Colts and Chargers fan (we moved a lot), although she really liked the Skins when she started to watch them. I became a Redskins fan b/c of how much of a community and how much love the Skins fans had for this team and the play and passion of the one and only Dexter Manley. When I played sandlot football as a kid I always imagined myself as Dexter hunting down a unlucky QB.
Had a chance to go to my first Skins game in 2001 (vs. Carolina, the Lavar INT game) and have been hooked with going to games ever since. 2004 was a great year for me as not only did St. Joe return to coaching but I became a season ticket holder.
And that year I got into football websites.........
I was reading Pro Football Talk and Mike Florio had posted this insanely funny cartoon about KW2 and the Poston Bros. by some guy named BANG. I wanted to watch some of his archives and it sent me to a Redskins site named ExtremeSkins. 12,000 + posts and 5 years later, here I am on another Redskins MB chatting with the same people that made ES so great years ago.
Last Dec. I took a long hiatus from posting on ES to start my own blog
It Is What It Is..... and since then I've been trying to cover the Redskins in my own way along with other stuff that I find interesting (Comics, Movies, TV, whatever).
My deepest wish is to one day see FedEx have the atmosphere of RFK, to have 90,000 Redskins fans really get loud. I always saw RFK do that on TV and I want to be a part of that live one day. That's why you'll see me do threads about the 12th Man and us fans being the loudest fans in the NFL.
