Absolute must read this. Best article about Redskins Football I've read since the 91 team dominated the league from start to finish. Jayden is him, in every way possible. We're so f***ing lucky that Chicago was too stupid to see it, but glad that AP was not.

This is so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, right? There's not a single person on this planet or any other planet that could have predicted this. Preseason we were all thinking how 7-8 wins would be solid. Two weeks ago we were all just thinking how great it is that we actually made the playoffs. Now, this? Unreal!!!

So fun.

Fellas, don't know why I haven't mentioned this before but I'm officially becoming a father to a baby boy in March. If anyone has any advice for a first-time parent, it is more than welcome. Thrilled that he will be able to cheer for an exciting competitive team as opposed to what we've had to bear for so many years. Here's to many many more years of Jayden magic.

What blew my mind when my niece was born was this automatic love we have for our younger kin. I would have jumped in front of a bus for her from Day 1.

What’s interesting about having my son, is that the automatic love was there, but in many ways I was expecting it. The huge amount of fear that I felt was in some ways more eye opening. As if all my hopes and dreams were now stored into his life. There’s a certain loss of control with that. You really start to FEEL the cycle of life. It’s terrifying.

Now that he is three, what I find the most fascinating is that I can truly live vicariously through another human being for the first time. Watching him on Christmas morning when he kind of “got it”, was some of the purest joy I have ever felt.

My big takeaway now is how my love for him has somehow multiplied and grown. It’s like a learning process: the more time we share, the more I get to know him, the more I love him. It is honestly inconceivable how much you can love. Having that reveal itself to you over time is incredible.

In short, enjoy the ride and the layers it brings. You can’t teach him what you don’t know, so just be the best you can be. That’s always enough.
