It's easy to get hooked once you see the game in person and the new fans have a lot of positive pent up energy needing release so I'm all for it. Rock da Red baby!

I will always be a redskins fan. But my hatred for Snyder and Cerrato have sucked all the hope I have had and then some. I can still be loyal but I'm smart enough to know that this team will never amount to poo poo with dumb and dumber running the show. It sucks being a Skins fan right now, but as Caps fans we can remember how we were once the laughing stock of the city and the league - it wasn't a fun time to be a caps fan. But we had hope. Right now as a skins fan - we have no hope - we have Snyder. My loyalty to the skins will never waiver. I will always be a redskins fan.

Well, if nothing else, the Redskins' loss is the Caps' gain. Great roundup of the comments. Well, if nothing else, the Redskins’ loss is the Caps’ gain.

Still, as terrible as it is that the Skins lost to three un-feated teams this season, I'm sure many die-hard fans will stay loyal... there's very little logic when it comes to sports fandom, and that's part of its charm.

That's just kind of sad. I can't imagine walking away from a team I've rooted for since childhood, no matter how much they suck. I've found that those who claim that football >hockey either have small bladders or aren't bright enough to keep up with hockey. Still, it seems that the Caps are getting more attention becaues of the Redskins stinking. Hopefully they don't bring a jinx with them XD It really is amazing how little good the acquisition of Albert Haynesworth seems to have done them.
