OT: 2024 Washington Commanders thread: change we can believe in!

I was 7 in 92-93?I just arrived in Baily's cross roads. Redskins had just won the Superbowl and I was wondering wtf was going on

I’ve said many times, not really a football fan. But you don’t grow up in DC—at least you didn’t before Snyder—without being steeped in the Skins. The ‘82-‘83 run was so crazy. Every Sunday was a party. And from then on they were omnipresent. The fun bunch. The hogs. All the HOFers. My jr high home room teacher actually made us sing HTTR every morning after the pledge. It was like that.

Then in high school I was friends with Jack Kent Cooke’s grandson. We would go hang out in his box at RFK and party all day.

But after I moved to California for college, they won once more and then faded into oblivion. And since I didn’t watch football for its own sake, I lost interest. And eventually they were just a joke.

Gotta say, this is bringing back the good old feelings.
