RIP Redskins thread*. I can't wait to order my custom Ravens jersey with "RIGGINS" on the reverse.
*hope the next decade is absolute AIDS because **** YOU. After that, I can take the more objective zen status of "best of luck, *******s".
I never mailed the letter. I was going to give it to him in person on Thanksgiving. He was so excited about the fact that the Skins were playing the Giants that weekend for first place in the division. I couldn't hand him the letter. I feel bad about the entire situation. I have always known that "you don't choose your team, your team chooses you" but I felt abused by the Snyder era. For some weird reason I always feel the need to keep the same persona online as in real life, so **** it, I hope the Skins can squeak out a playoff run this year. Feels good/bad man.
TL;DR I will be a Skins fan till by old man dies. He loves them too much and I love him. I would love to say I'm a lifelong fan+my kids by I don't trust the Snyder dynasty with my $$$.
