I BETTER PUT this post up now, because the Redskins' season could be over by the time I wake up tomorrow. Patrick and I (and the girls too) have been paying attention to our beloved Washington Redskins throughout the season. It's hard when you have to 'watch' on the internet -- especially when the games often start at 10:15 pm local time. But we've tried to keep up, especially since the death of Sean Taylor.
Anyway, the Skins had a nice run to end the season and have found a way into the playoffs where they will face Seattle tonight (and it's one of those 10:15 local time starts!!). A win (and it could happen) would set up a game against arch-rival Dallas next week. That would be fantastic -- just like the 70s and 80s! And the Redskins would be in the enviable position of being able to play the game with nothing to lose: they would not be expected to win.
But that's getting a bit ahead of things. Beating the Seahawks in Seattle will be no easy task. But in the south of France there will be at least fans rooting hard -- even if four of them will be doing so in their sleep!
