First, I would like to thank the committee for selecting me to be a part of this brilliant piece of literary genius known as Punting on First Down. The heads of the committee have given me the amazing opportunity to speak my mind with the one golden rule, "The only condition is you aren't allowed to write just about the Redskins" (EP via text message).
With that said, lets talk about the tears seen this weekend in Bronco country. The stage is set, 4th and 20 on the Denver 35 yard line. Redskins punter Hunter Smith seems to be dropping back into shotgun formation? Hmm... interesting... Eight seconds later Mike Sellers comes down with a 35 yard TD pass. Wait I think I blacked out for a moment. What the hell just happened? I look to my right and see tears rolling down the face of a man wearing a John Elway jersey. Then it all clicks.... "Now starting at quarterback for the Washington Redskins Hunttteeeerrrr Smithhhh!" This must be Jim Zorn's secret weapon. Finally Redskins fans have been waiting for this moment. Knowing Dan Snyder's extremely high level of intelligence, last night he probably already drew up the contracts to sign Mr. Smith to a 6 year 100 million dollar deal.
After a slow start at 3-6, Redskins Nation was logging onto ESPN checking the standings and remaining schedule thinking, "playoffs?" Lets face it folks, it was a lucky win in which the Redskins beat a backup quarterback who has not been taking the reps in practice. Not going to say I did not enjoy it, but lets keep ourselves holstered. Jim Zorn and Dan Snyder must remain in the dog house. Remember the amount of harassment Skins fans took after losing to The Lions and The Chiefs? Yeah, that was this season. Let's see them beat the Cowboys and then we can start dreaming.
Fucking Redskins
