| The ultimate symbol of Redskins ineptness. |
The
saying “Hope Springs Eternal” sums up the thoughts of every Washington Redskins
fan. Never mind the racist name and the idiot owner, we ALWAYS expect the next
season to be the big one. Today the Redskins report to training camp and the
cycle starts anew. Last night I watched ‘2014 Washington Redskins: Executive
Decision’. It was their 2014 NFL Films highlight show. I was curious, what are
the highlights of a team that goes 4-12? It turns out, there aren’t many,
because most of the show is filled with the hiring of Scot McCloughan. He was
hired after the 2014 season.
So
the best thing that happened for Washington in 2014 was hiring a new General
Manager after the season. Sadly, I agree. Unfortunately, stupid hope springs
eternal again. Just like Michael Corleone, “Just when I thought I was out, they
pull me back in”. McCloughan has a good track record. He’s helped rebuild the
San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. He’s gone about this off-season in a
smart and reasonable manner.
But
this is the Redskins, where “winning off the field” is the priority. Upper
management (I’m looking at you Bruce Allen and Dan Snyder) will ruin it. The
team should change their name to the Ruiners, because that’s what they do. They
ruin the Fall, they ruin Sundays and they ruin my life. Well, maybe not my
life.
If
they have a crazy good season I’ll lose my mind. I’ll go back to the
Commonwealth and bask in the amazingness with my pals. But what are the chances
of that happening? It’s more likely they’ll be seven games under .500 by
Thanksgiving and I’ll find other things to do on Sundays.
