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.

Hence my quandary.

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.

Wife and family very happy in DFW. It is a nice place to live. Taking Powers to some games at Cowboys stadium as a fan would be fun.
