IONTOP Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I just wanted to apologize to Joe and the Redskins faithful, for making him get cut. You see, about 8 years ago, when I got my first Redskins jersey, I thought it would be the last I owned, turns out it was the start of a curse. You see, my first jersey was a Terry Allen jersey, he got hurt and retired, I believe, so I had to get another jersey to still support the team, and well, as you can see, they haven't panned out too well. All the players jersey's I've bought have all gotten hurt, traded, released, or retired within the year I got it. Here is the list (excluding Terry Allen) 2nd Jersey: Gus Frerotte (self explanitory) 3rd Jersey: Steven Davis (Broken forearm) 4th Jersey: Brad Johnson (not really sure, just didn't play for the Skins anymore. ) 5th Jersey: Champ Bailey (Traded) 6th Jersey: Jeramiah Trotter (blah blah Eagles blah blah) 7th Jersey: Clinton Portis (First time I wore it was to 2004's Dallas game, he left in the 2nd quarter with a chest injury) 8th Jersey: Lavar Arrington (Released, Giants, Motorcycle) 9th Jersey: IONTOP (hurt while the jersey was being shipped to me, (Emergency room + 2 follow up visits)) 10th Jersey: Joe Salave'a (Released LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LATER) I'm sorry for all the pain I have caused everyone. From now on, I will NEVER buy another jersey, I hope you can forgive me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredrockSkinsFan Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 That's why I just purchased a Riggo, that's a snag you can't regret. My Sean Taylor should pan out for awhile, assuming we don't screw up with his contract. Man I'd be pissed if I threw down for the #36 though.

vladdrac Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 What the hell is this!? Man I hope this is tongue in cheek, but the tone of the post seemed pretty serious and a little too detailed for a goof. Are there really superstitious morons out there in cyberspace who believe that the order of the Redskins universe is governed by an invisible force that keeps track of which fans are wearing what jerseys and then places a curse on that particular player? Please tell me our fans out there aren't really this dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me our fans out there aren't really this dumb. Honestly, to me, it seems like a string of coincidences that would be considered statistically "improbable" (Not impossible, but improbable, those are ALL the jersey's I've ever owned) Edit: BTW, loosen up...

Ax Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Well, verbal apologies aren't going to cut it this time, my brother. True redemption can only come from making amends for your transgressions. I feel that a personalized jersey, for each and every member here, is in order. Due to the possibility that you may run out of money before fulfilling this obligation, I suggest you go in alphabetical order, starting with member names that have two, or fewer, letters in them. I'll take a large #55 Hanburger in burgundy. Retired Redskins are the only way to go, when buying a jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I'd be pissed if I threw down for the #36 though. I threw down for one and actually still like it better than 21 even though it isn't accurate. I am sick of every DB wanting to be like Deion. Makes me sick. 21 is a CB number IMO and not safety. Anyhow, I really don't care that much. I am on the retired redskins only jersey plan now. I've got Riggo, Monk, DG, and I think Monte Coleman might be next. Maybe Charles Mann. Then come the hogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
