Yes, there's a shared memory among those who grew up here of indelible moments - John Riggins off left tackle for the TD in the Super Bowl, Ken Houston stopping Walt Garrison at the goal line during the Dallas game, all the QB successes from Jurgenson to Kilmer to Theisman to Williams to Rypien, and much more. I hate Dan Snyder with a passion, but I'll never stop rooting for the Redskins. It's a part of me.

They suck. They haven't beaten a single team with a winning record and if Jordan Hicks hadn't knocked out Tony Romo for the season they would be nowhere near the playoffs.

No, I'm not a cowboys fan.

Oh no, you didn't! Aaron is awesome.

Go PACK, except they seem to be under some sort of curse.

I'm a NYG fan but I'll be rooting for Washington because I hate Clay Matthews. Aaron Rodgers seems like a dick, too.

I really want to hate them because I hate their owner and I hate their name. However, I've lived in the area since I was 3 (I'm now 39) and I can't help but be a little bit excited to see them in the playoffs.

I don't care at all. I care about football season only for the guaranteed-empty-grocery-store times during Sunday games.

Why are you wasting time with a crappy team that only made the playoffs because the other three teams in the division were even more spectacularly inept when you could be watching the best team in hockey? This town and its undying love of the 'skins, I just don't get it.

All that said: GO PACK GO.
