Adding insult to injury

Mios dios. I have to apologize on behalf of all of Redskins nation for the public being subject to the slow agonizing torture that is "Redskins being televised nationally". This game... was awful! The Redskins finally get a chance to play a team that has actually won a game and the promptly respond by turning the ball over 4 times. Four fucking times!!! Campbell was on the run the entire time. And by "on the run" I mean staring blankly at swarms of Eagles coming at him. That game was awful.

Readers of deadspin will know that Mr Daniel Snyder has been waging a personal battle against the fans. Why exactly is he drowning out the very same people who allow the team to function? Somewhere in the trail of links is a column by somebody at the Washington Post who states that a team spokesman released a statement saying that the behavior of these upset supporters are not representative of "real fans". How delusional is that? So, the only real fans are actually cheering for this team which has zero direction, even less talent, and no possibility of success this year? I find it awfully hard to believe that an uber-successful businessman like Snyder is so far removed from reality.

Unfortunately, this is old news. The real kick in the pants from Monday Night's embarrassment is that my boy, Chris Cooley, broke his ankle and could now be out for the season, at worst, or as little as 4 weeks, at best. Perhaps it's a blessing in disguise. The game, even as unwatchable as it was, had a couple of bright spots in that the young bucks Fred Davis and Devin Thomas actually got involved in the offense. Maybe losing his favorite target and getting new play calling from Sherman Lewis will force this offense to open it up and take some shots. At this point, the season is lost. What do they have to lose by venturing out of their comfort zone? Their offense is anemic and painful to watch. Let's at least give the loyal fans who are still paying money a good show. That's the least they can offer.

Unless of course "real fans" like Tom Cruise disagree.



There is a silver lining to it all of course. Just not for me, or you. What puts a smile on my face is that Chris Cooley will be in good hands as he is nursed back to health.
