Hungry Abandons the 'Skins

I am back! For the two of you who missed me in my almost year long hiatus I be attempting to get my blog up and running again.

Years of losing couldn't do it. Off-season after off-season of false optimism couldn't do it. Ridiculous cost of actually attending a game couldn't do it (though I never did attend one). As it turns out, the true depth of Daniel Snyder's greed could.

I have been a Redskins fan ever since I learned what 3rd and 7 actually meant, which coincidentally was the same year I moved to DC, and also the last time the 'Skins won the Super Bowl. Pretending that I am a real fan all these years has kept my loyalties with the 'Skins through it all-after all there is a special circle of Hell for bandwagon fans.

It was about midway through the season when I stumbled across this article and learned that Daniel Snyder is truly a greedy greedy bastard. Don't get me wrong I have no problem with the team getting their money for the rest of the current season, but do they really need to collect the whole length of the deal when there is such a massive wait list for tickets? It seems a bit excessive.

So midseason I officially renounced my allegiance and I am officially moving my down the beltway and tossing my loyalties to the Ravens. After all what other team is named after an Edgar Allen Poe poem? Also I am so frightened of Ray Lewis I wouldn't dare root for anyone else.
