OK..I made the long ride this time to Phoenix from So. Cal to see my skins only to find out that after dropping a few hundred $$ that no starters (except Albert) started.  The weather was unbearable until they opened the gates at 5:30pm!!   GO FIGURE!!!  Thank GOD for the bars a couple hundred yards away to the stadium where I could water my horse (and me). 

I had fun hanging out with my Redskin fans that showed up in large numbers.  I was fortunate to get my pre game sideline passes (Thanks MG).  It was fun seeing London Fletcher signing autographs along with GM Bruce Allen before the game with the fans.  Two guys that are really down to earth.

I was lucky enough to get some front row 50 yd line tix on the skin side and watched some fun stuff goin on.  The card cheerleaders were pretty but not as much as ours back home. .

The game was interesting in seeing the explosiveness of Banks making some great plays (and not so great) as he needs to hang on to the ball a little tighter.  The fan next to me was calling him "Mighty Mouse".  Haynesworth appeared a bit tired by the end of the 4th quarter.  Austin had a good night on finding the ball a few times.  It was just kinda strange not seeing my familiar faces suited for the game but oh well, I understand they need to rest for the DAL ASS game!

 I was disappointed after the game when very few players came up to the large Redskin fan turn out behind me to show appreciation.  Many of the Fans were voicing their displeasure.

So here i sit in the middle of the desert somewhere between Phoenix and L.A., my horse is watered up and I am looking at my #47 jersey wondering why it's not signed yet by my Wyoming/Utah Cowboy Chris.  So here we go, geared up for NFL 2010 when the SKINS kick some Dal ASS butt next week to start our play-off run with Shanahan and the Boys.

LET THE SEASON BEGIN !!!    MY PREDICTION;  SKINS 27  DAL ASS 23       HAIL !
