I think I can still name the starting lineups of the Gibbs glory year teams of my childhood. When I think Redskins I am seeing the Smurfs, the Posse, the Hogs, the Fun Bunch, Mann, Manley, Olkiewitz, Coleman, Butz, Marshall, and all the rest.
I don't know if I'll ever have the affection for a group as I did for the players who forged my fandom, but I'm willing to try.
