I don't watch sport nor am i a fan of anything, i'm only interested in my score after firing 40 rounds at a paper target and see if i can beat the next member that is in my way of the cup....
They followed the money. Millions in 'incentives' were provided the team. Virginia hasn't been the same since Wilder let the new stadium slip through his fingers into Maryland.
Funny, there really aren't any first rate facilities for them to practice in here. City Stadium (U of R) is OK, but just OK.
All this, and I'm a long time, die hard Redskins fan. I think it's nice of them to bring the source of much suffering so close to me... :roll:

3 years ago, we noticed this several times as we were heading from the motel to the apartment the kids were staying in at the time, before they relocated to VA.

So she gets the consolation prize... a Pirates ball cap. Like we don't have a zillion of those... or does she want to trade it in for the contents of The Box Of Mystery? She traded, got a signed shirt from one of the players. So it was a decent day for her after all.
