Bandwagon Time    [ News ]

Washington Redskins 33, Atlanta Falcons 31!   Second win in a row after beating the Jets 16-31 in the season opener.   Might just be time to starting oiling up the Bandwagon again.

It's been so long since I've consistently watched, cheered or followed the 'Skins - probably as long as they've avoided the playoffs in the post-Joe Gibbs era - that I've nearly forgotten how much fun it is to root for a team.   Being a Redskins fan in the late 90's and early 00's meant ridicule, eternal hope crushed by monumental failures, and general malaise.   Not entirely unlike Jimmy Carter's presidential administration, or Ed Wood's movie career.   Anyway, the first 2-0 record since '91 gives me hope, and I'll be tuning in on Sundays and Mondays this season to see how Washington does in the Spurrier Era.
