FOOTBALL IS HERE!!!!

I am a Happy Camper, football season has started. OK, technically, these are games that do not really count, but after the dreary off-seasons of having nothing to watch on Sunday afternoons, action on gridiron is welcomed by those of us who truly love the game. Of course being a Redskin fan, this past weekend was glorious for me. Two of our best players were put in the HOF where they should be. (Oh, to non football people, that means Hall of Fame). But chances are, if you did not know that, you saw what this is about and stopped reading.

I loved the fact that most (John Madden said 95%) of the crowd in Canton wore Burgandy and Gold. I was at home cuddled up with my Redskin blanket. I have to admit, that from 8-9 I watched Big Brother, but I have to say, Colt Brennan shook up some people I think. He was fantastic. Todd Collins should be feeling a warm breath as Brennan is breathing down his neck I am sure.

How refreshing to see the Skins behind at the Half and actually coming Back to win. That was a change from last year when they would give the game away after Halftime.

Funny thing, I did happen to be channel surfing just at the perfect time to see my favorite Redskin Chris Cooley make a big catch. Maybe he waited til I was watching. I have often thought we had some ESP going between us.

And all the specials this weekend re-capping the 1982 Super Bowl season, I loved them, and recall fondly standing on top of my wheelchair as the bus went by. I drew a lot of looks, got very wet that day, and found out we weren't the only ones who thought of taking metro that day. It was an AWESOME day!!!

I love my Redskins, win or lose, but am so happy this weekend we got a win!!
