| | Mod of Jonestown | I am at a NFL fandom crossroad OK, this is going to be a bit of a long story.
I grew up a Redskins fan almost 30 years ago because John Riggins was the man. Still is.
I had Joe Theisman as my QB, who I now absolutely hate.
I also hate the ownership. I would like to personally punch Snyder in the face.
I think Shanny is a good coach and I think they can work it out, but I think the reward I get for pulling for them is worth the pain.
I have been living in DFW, TX for 5 years now. I have been the ultimate anti-fan. Now a few things are happening.
I like Jason Garret. I think they are going to keep him as a coach.
I like Jason Witten. He is indeed the man.
My five (almost six) year old son has informed me he is a Cowboy fan. The scene was akin to an afterschool special.
He is really enjoying playing flag football this fall and I would like to have this Father-Son bond we could have by going to Cowboys games together.
I feel as if I am Hulk Hogan starting the NWO.
Feels weird.

| Wait what?
Redskins and Cowboys are eternal enemies.
That would be like me being a Colts or Jets fan. |

| Sounds like you are torn. There is no rule saying you can't root for both of the teams. Just keep it hush hush.  |

| | Mod of Jonestown | In other news I am going to troll my wife IRL by proclaiming my AFC team to be the Chiefs.
I am going to pull strongly for them against the Colts. I am going to use as my reason the greatness of Eric Berry.
When she scoffs, I am going to throw Peyton in her face and call her a racist. This is going to be great.
