This Is Why People Lose Their Minds (and become Cowboy fans)

A recession is looming. The bank foreclosed on the house next door, while foreign rich dudes are buying that same bank with billions of dollars in your gas money. And by the way, we're trying to elect a President here. And the story Washington really cares about--Who is gonna coach the Redskins?

For the last several days much of my email has been about the craziness going on out at Redskins Park following the resignation of Joe Gibbs. While the ardor seems to be cooling a bit now, don't worry--it will fire up again once there's some actual news to report.

As I pointed out in a recent blog, I grew up in this town, but even I still don't really understand what it is about that team that inspires us so powerfully, or more accurately makes us into completely annoying weirdos to anyone who doesn't share our obsession. Wizards? Ha! Caps? Double Ha!

Think about it. The DC United soccer team has won a bunch of championships in its relatively short span of existence...and I've never gotten even one email about them in 4 years of doing McGinty's Mailbag. Not one. Ever.

Wait a second. Let me check the mailbag right now.

I'm back.

Yup, we got another one on the Redskins. Its from Bonnie in DC. Don't believe me? Here it is:

Hope you can stand one more remark/remarks on the this subject. I saw your show last night and always enjoy the "mailbag" comments. I couldn't Agree more w/the other viewers comments on this man - Snyder - what in the world is he thinking? The "Skins" made the playoffs w/Gibbs, Williams, Saunders & the players. Why the h....would he fire Williams/Saunders and fill those positions without having a head coach? The Skins had something To build on next season. Now, we will have to rebuild the team, etc. - Snyder do us a favor and sell the Team!!!!!!!
All I can say - to me Snyder is a little wealthy boy who doesn't know anything about football.

See? Its all about the same. "We hate Dan Snyder. We really hate Snyder. And did I mention our hatred of anything Snyder-esque?"

But you know what, Dan? All ya gotta do is win a Superbowl. Heck, just go 11 and 5 one year and I guarantee--All will be forgiven.
