I'd like to take this opportunity to address you, the reader, and apologize for any forthcoming bias that may appear in this, or future blogs. See, I have been a die hard Redskin fan since I could walk, and have been babbling about how they are the greatest professional franchise since I could talk. So when I say that the Giants win over the 'Skins last weekend was more a product of Joe Gibbs telling his team to throw the game at halftime so that Tom Coughlin would retain his job, and in doing so, eliminate the Giants from ever being a contender, I'm not serious...totally.
Think about though. How could the Redskins, who had given up one touchdown all season, enter halftime up 17-3 and in a nice rhythm, blow a game to the Giants by not getting a second half first down until the final drive. That's ridiculous. That'd be like a number one seed in the NBA Playoffs with the league MVP on their team dropping to the number eight seed while the MVP shoots 38% for the series. Oh and ironically the coach of the eight seed used to coach the one seed. But I digress.
