Skins/Cowgirls: Its F'n On, Bitches!

The Federal Government is bailing out Wall Street to the tune of a hundrenty bizillion dollars, the war with Iraq shows no signs of slowing up, and John McCain, the leading presidential candidate, has a campaign based almost completely on lies in full swing. But, for one week, nobody in DC cares, cause its Dallas Week! Dallas Week is the time to get overly excited because this week's results are measured in and of themselves. Whether Washington is 0-8 or 8-0, the season becomes a certain measure of successful if they beat Dallas.

During the last fifteen football seasons, despite a few big wins, Redskin fans haven't had much to cheer for during Dallas week. Will this year be different? Probably not, but hey, when you're 2-1 and coming off two good wins against decent teams, you are afforded the right to dream. That is until that dream is smashed by the fist of god as he reaches down through the hole in the roof of Texas Stadium and flicks your starting QB's knee until his ACL pops like an old rubber band.

Are the Redskins dumbass material*, or is this just a farce perpetrated by some lucky bounces, a couple lousy teams playing on the road, and Dan Snyder quietly paying off officials in the back room? Right now, I'm voting for the former, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some genuine improvement in this team. Also wouldn't be surprised if Snyder was paying someone off.

I'm not calling for a Skins win on the road against what may be the best team in the NFL, but it wouldn't shock me either. In any case, its Dallas week, bitches. Time to git ya game on.

*Ever see that commercial where a guy is being interviewed by someone named "Mr. Dumas"? The interviewee is going off about how he's "Dumb-ass material all the way!" until the interviewer says, "The name is Dumas [pronounced Doo-Mah-ss]." Me likee.
