Seven Days til Sunday


Titaw

Recommended Posts

As we all wake up today everything feels a bit different. The sun is a bit brighter, the air is crisp and the birds seem to have changed their tune. You know it's coming and you can't help but to stand on your front porch in your pj's and smile. You get the chills realizing that this year may be special. You hear what the pundits say but you have seen with your own two eyes these are NOT the 2006 Washington Redskins. Oh no, these boys look like they are ready. The anticipation has you almost giving a quasi audible "YES!" and a slight fist pump.

Who says that Christmas only comes once a year. For Redskins fans that is completely and utterly unture. We know that the most wonderful time of the year comes in seven days and the anticipation has you feeling like a kid again. You want that day to come so bad. You try to keep your mind off of it by staying busy doing things around the house, only to inevitably end up humming that delightful song. It's my favorite carol of them all, "Hail, to the Redskins! Hail, Victory............"

My wife has said to me a couple of times already..."when football season starts I know my place." She believes that I put football ahead of her. I asked her a question: how many times a week does professional football comes on?

It's only when I look at football she seems to want more of my attention. She even attend games with me, twice a year. :( sigh...

HTTR! :D

Seven more days and counting down!

Four more days until the season starts!

Hahaha I had the same exact problem for years.. I started hiding the sausage with her a couple hours before the game. That seemed to fix her needy ways for a few hours anyways.;)

:( I hope not. Thursday will be a nice break in the tension, as I'm looking forward to the Saints/Colts game.

Usually the week leading up to opening day sucks... because of the anticipation. The good thing about this week is there is a college football primetime game on Monday night then the Saints game thursday night. Also, there are some big games slated for Saturday in college football. It's going to be a fun week. Not the usual comcast/espn surfing just waiting for something redskins.

For the Redskins. :)

I don't know what to say really.

7 daysto the biggest battle of our professional lives

all comes down to Next Sunday.

Either

we heal

as a team

or we are going to crumble.

Inch by inch

play by play

till we're finished.

We are in hell right now, gentlemen

believe me

and

we can stay here

and get the **** kicked out of us

or

we can fight our way

back into the light.

We can climb out of hell.

One inch, at a time.

Now I can't do it for you.

I'm too old.

I look around and I see these young faces

and I think

I mean

I made every wrong choice a middle age man could make.

I uh....

I pissed away all my money

believe it or not.

I chased off

anyone who has ever loved me.

And lately,

I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror.

You know when you get old in life

things get taken from you.

That's, that's part of life.

But,

you only learn that when you start losing stuff.

You find out that life is just a game of inches.

So is football.

Because in either game

life or football

the margin for error is so small.

I mean

one half step too late or to early

you don't quite make it.

One half second too slow or too fast

and you don't quite catch it.

The inches we need are everywhere around us.

They are in ever break of the game

every minute, every second.

On this team, we fight for that inch

On this team, we tear ourselves, and everyone around us

to pieces for that inch.

We CLAW with our finger nails for that inch.

Cause we know

when we add up all those inches

that's going to make the ****ing difference

between WINNING and LOSING

between LIVING and DYING.

I'll tell you this

in any fight

it is the guy who is willing to die

who is going to win that inch.

And I know

if I am going to have any life anymore

it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch

because that is what LIVING is.

The six inches in front of your face.

Now I can't make you do it.

You gotta look at the guy next to you.

Look into his eyes.

Now I think you are going to see a guy who will go that inch with you.

You are going to see a guy

who will sacrifice himself for this team

because he knows when it comes down to it,

you are gonna do the same thing for him.

That's a team, gentlemen

and either we heal now, as a team,

or we will die as individuals.

That's football guys.

That's all it is.

Now, whattaya gonna do?

I thought about this when I woke up this morning. At this time next week, I shall be in the parking lots of FedEx field, probably under the influence of quite a few beers, wearing my Skins gear and getting ready to make my way to the stadium. Thank goodness it's football season.
