Washington Redskins Logo

Hello from I-395, just outside of our nation’s capital.  As a life long Washington Redskins fan, your blogger was thrilled to actually be in town on Week One of the NFL season opener when the rival Dallas Cowboys came to town.  So much so that KCC and her husband chose to stay an extra night after the Freedomworks 9/12 march to catch the game on TV with local fans.

Your blogger grew up in Eastern North Carolina, where THE local team WAS the Washington Redskins.  She remembers the Hogs, Joe Theisman, big John Riggins, and the successful days of old and has stood by them, thick and thin, ever since.

However, when the Carolina Panthers came to Charlotte, the “local” team ceased to be the Skins.  Sadly, it became tougher to keep up with the Redskins, even with their ongoing woes on and off the field.  The NFC game of the week was no longer our Redskins.

Sure, the Panthers have had on-and-off success and your blogger watched them, especially enjoying the play of Julius Peppers. Even he has gone now to play in Chicago.  But she never became a true Panthers fan.

Watching the Skins play with a bar full of Washingtonians was a real treat. These folks know so much about their players, they practically know their driver licence numbers, and their favorite foods.

KCC won’t say much about the victory as it’s been all over the media.  However it was a good one.  Every defeat of the Cowboys great, especially at home.

Thus, for this  blogger, a good day was made great.  After  marching for freedom and against terrorism with  Tea Party patriots from across the nation, lead by Freedomworks chairman Dick Armey and president Matt Kibbe, this was a wonderful way to finish Blogcon.
