Oh Noooo's- this is a family disaster in the making!

[ki4itv]

I've mentioned before how big a football fan (especially the Redskins) my XYL is...she knows stats, histories, all the plays, jumps up and down on the couch screaming obscenities at the coaches and referees, and if you actually walk in the room, you have just placed your life in serious danger. Hell, she even helped form another rec youth league in town so she could have her football during the spring and summer too.

AND NOW THIS??? The Redskins are coming to Richmond to do spring training?? Man, I don't know what I did to deserve this other than possibly being Attila the Hun in a past life.

This is probably one of the worst things that could possibly happen to our family ever, and that's saying a lot!

I'll miss her, but I guess at the least I'll know where she is.

...and thanks for letting me vent on your time folks....Geeezus, I can't believe this is happening to me.

Practice with who? The Youth Rec League...I guess that will improve their season W-L record.

Hah!
She actually told our two sons that they had to be Redskins fans for no less than two years because it builds character. No sh*t.

Unless it's already been said, they were in Ashburn, PA. But, now going to Richmond... Interesting...

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:

At least she is not a Bengal's fan.

At least she is not a Bengal's fan.

Or a Browns fan.

I think the population of Latrobe, PA, triples during the early weeks of the pre-season, once Steeler Camp opens.

My sister is a rabid Steelers fan. We don't speak much to each other during footbawl season.

'DSG is a former PGH area native and a Steelers fan. Now I won't speak to Ron OR her any longer.

I'm not a PGH native, nor am I a Steelers fan.

Just don't tell my mother-in-law that I still (very quietly & privately) root for the NJ Giants.
