One very small point about the Redskins

Earlier this week, they signed Albert Haynes- worth, the biggest name on the free agent market, to a massive deal that is making a certain kind of Eagle Fan rend their flesh in abject frustration, certain that this was the very move that they needed to do to make their team more complete.

This same variety of fan would, if pressed to it, confess to a certain jealousy of Redskin Fan, since they (at least) have an owner that's willing to DO SOMETHING and spend the money that they have available under the cap. Unlike our bean counters, who just want to sit back and dive, Scrooge McDuck-like, into their unspent cap millions and fail in the stretch for the lack of a player of Haynesworth's caliber. (Never minding, of course, his injury history, the likelihood that he's still going to be very good following a big signing, and his personal history with Andre Gurode, who he now gets to see twice a year. Sure hope Andre doesn't, you know, dive at his knees from behind at the end of a play. That would be unfortunate.)

In other, completely unrelated news -- can't see why I'd mention it at all, really -- the Redskins released Jason Taylor today, after one uneventful season in Skinland.

Really, honestly... is there anyone with half a functioning brain that actually envies Redskin Fan during the Snyder Era?
