I'm actually happy to hear that. I had no idea how old this thing was only recently encountering it myself. So apparently it has some staying power.

Tale Of The Mediocre Football Fan

Last Thursday, Brenda and I went to the final preseason football game of the Washington Redskins. The game was less than meaningful (as is the nature of preseason football) because rarely do actual starters play in the final preseason game.
