So here we are, just five hours (as of this posting) to the kickoff of NFC WildCard Weekend, and well, four of the six experts on Sports Illustrated's website are picking the Redskins to win. More importantly, Peter King, the SI NFL Columnist who continually rips the Redskins for anything they do has picked them to win, so who knows, maybe we have some mojo in our favor now. Ok, here iss everyone's game day assignments in order to make sure the Skinnies pull it out and advance to round #2:
Dad-Make some wings. Lots of them. Hot sauce preferably, but if your all out, just drown them in ranch, that always works. Oh yeah, and read the article about Chris Cooley in the Post today. Good stuff.
Mom-You may not like it, but your going to need to eat some of those wings and provide some support as well. Whether its in the form of knitting and glancing at the tv every minute or so, or staring transfixed at the game, either way, it will help.
Win-Ok, so your going to need to-uh, wait, who am I kidding, you dont care. At least I dont think you do, I could be wrong.
Emmalee-Your going to need to come to the Bucket Shop with me and provide some good cheer as well-you've made it this far, we will indoctrinate you in the world of playoff football....and really, it IS a whole new world.
Grammy-I trust that you will be watching, and you have no assignment. Your support is rock solid, and the team knows that. Joe told me so:)
Uncle Rich-Well, well, well, Captain Negativity, it's hard to be negative when the team makes it to the playoffs now isnt it? This is a game that we will win, whether you want them to or not, but I trust that through all your bad karma, and refusal to watch the Redskins, and insistence that they will lose, you will be watching and a small part of you will cheer and root them on. So dont hide your feelings. Shed that layer of pessimism, open up your heart, and let the Redskins back into your life. You will be glad you did.
Kris-Hey there, not sure if you care, but based on the fact that you live in Philadelphia, well, sorry for that. Must be no fun in an Eagles city these days. Although any bad luck for that organization is a wonderful thing if you ask me. Go Skins....repeat it......ok, now one more time, yeah, you got it. We'll trust your going to be ready for kickoff at 4:15
Ok everyonem, now go forth, and spread good vibes and karma, and all that woo woo stuff....or just eat some wings and watch some football, whatever floats your boat. I mean really, its not THAT important or anything....

I'm on board with you son! Wings probably won't be on the menu here in Browntown (still recovering from the holiday stuffing). Grammy will be here to witness the event. Oh yea, we were wondering how long it's been since the Skins swept both Philly AND Dallas? Still no answer, but Sonny says it's been 17 years since they swept Philly! Gotta love Sonny's stats. Oh, and by the way, Kris doesn't live in Philly, her parents do (I think), she is in the Baltimore area (just as bad, sport city wise) but we won't hold that against her. Will we?? Talk to you all soon.
I just can't take all this excitement, I hope I don't crack under the pressure at the Bucket Shop... maybe break a glass or something. But you know, I love it when they run the ball!
Happy Game Day all!!!
Kris;
EXCELLENT idea, the humiliation thing at a very public restaurant. Please post pictures if you can carry out the deed. Um, Eagles huh? We'll have to work on that. I mean seriously, Eagle fans boo retarded kids! Although I'm sure your family had nothing to do with that display. Booing Santa Claus is another discussion. Hope to meet you soon.
gary (Mr. Iden)
ps: were you aware that the kids in Win's summer camp nicknamed him Mr. Eyeball? Thought you needed to know that.
It wasn't the camp kids dad, it was the after-school kids...I was the "Pretty Pretty Princess" champion of Warren County when they called me that.
My mistake, how could I forget the "pretty princess" years???
Kris; so your dad pelted poor Santa huh? I suppose there could be a case made for justice there, not sure since I would need more information on what he (Santa) did or did not provide for under the tree the previous year. Your father's new found, albiet late allegence to the Redskin's is admirable, points for that. Perhaps he's seeing a new light, at the very least he's found the bandwagon, and is welcome onto it. GO SKINS!!!
