I thought I would start off my first post giving a little background on myself and why I'm even bothering with this blog. I have been a loyal Skins fan for as long as I can remember. I grew with the entire side of my mom's family (youngest of 7) being Redskins fans and the entire side of my dad's family (oldest of 7) being Steelers fans. So at a very young age I had to make a choice. Some might question the result of my choice (especially inlight of the Steelers winning their 6th Super Bowl this year), but I can't imagine rooting every week for another team. (Note: I do root for the Steelers, btw, every week except when they play the Skins)
One thing you should know, I am not a fair-weather fan. I have loved the Skins through all of the crap as well as the triumphs. I am also a realist when it comes to this exciting team. You hear it every offseason, some Skins fan claim that this is the year for the Skins or that the pick up of insert player's name here is the difference between being last in the division and being first in the division. While I do have my share of excitement and wonderment at any impending season, I have also been bit too many times by being overly excited only to be let down. So I decided a long time ago that I will continue to be optimistic and hopeful, however, I won't overly expect anything from the team come the beginning of the season (except maybe beating Dallas at least once) and if they find a way to pull together a winning season I will be very very happy.
Now, why this blog? The people that know me (most of which are NOT Skins fans) get to hear me rant/rave/comment/exclaim various tidbits and thoughts about the Skins all the time. Some of these comments only make sense to me, sometimes they are legit. Regardless, I thought I could put some of this down and either provoke interesting conversation from the oppositition, gather more insight from fellow fans, or at worst just talk to myself on the internet. Either way I get to chat about the team that I love.
