Greatest thing about being a Redskins fan!!

Skinsfan1906 · #1 12-16-2003, 02:59 PM

Please forgive me guys, but I was getting soooo depressed with how we all feel about our team. If you look at our posts as of late, you would have thought that a loved one died (no, not Hasselbeck

).

Anyway, I needed to break the monotony a bit. Hope you don't mind. I wanted to start a POSSITIVE thread about our (still) beloved team.

I ask the question: What is the Greatest thing about being a Redskins fan???

I'll start it off.

the fact that we play in the Nation's Capitol and represent the most powerful city in the world.

Hail to the Redskins!!!!

The best thing about being a Redskin fan is we are not Cowboy fans.

That works for me.

The greatest thing about being a Redskin's fan is getting to sing a great fight song.

Yeah, right now that fight song is about all there is. Good memories of the Joe Gibbs era. I tell you, I really feel bad for the fans who cannot remember the Joe Gibbs era. They've known nothing but mediocrity. Sort of like being a Cincinnati Reds fan who is not old enough to remember The Big Red Machine of the 1970s. Oh, wait. That's me!

Come on Tom, they served as a fantastic farm team last year.

Amen to that, brother.

Like what Spence said, I feel bad for the younger fans who didn't get to see the greatest era of the Redskins.

The Joe Gibbs era.

I am proud to be a Redskins fan. All the championships we have won, and how the Skins can bring the DC community together, when they win.

If I ever move away from the DC area, no matter how far, I will AWAYS be a Redskins fan.

Best part of being a Redskins Fan ... don't know if there is a best part. I was born and raised in the Washington Metro area and this is the team I grew up with. It's whom my family and my friends (most) rooted for. It was the team the community always talked about. …….. During the time I was in the service (in SE Asia Pacific area) it was ALWAYS cool to get news about the Redskins because it was news about “back home”. So for me the Redskins will always represent one of those good things about Home.

For me, it'll always be the 35 point second quarter in Superbowl XXII.

The look on John Elway's face on the sideline was priceless...

Those games in December in RFK; the snow swirling lightly. The frosted breath of the Hogs as they lined up, the gleam in their eyes as they knew what play was coming. The Diesel, chuffing behind the line, waiting for the snap and the handoff. The crack of shoulder pad on shoulder pad as the Hogs ran the "counter tre" and defensive players smacked the frozen turf. And a hole opened and the Diesel crashed through it and made chunks of turf fly as he gained those extra yards!

That's a memory of what being a Redskins Fan is all about.
And the best thing is, that's what sustains me now as we seek a way back to the glory days.
Hail to the Redskins!

The greatest thing about being a Redskins fan is being part of a community of fans like we have here. Ever visited some other team sites??? They are a joke!

Face it Cowpuke fans... Redskin Nation is all class!
