MY WASHINGTON REDSKINS STORY, AND MEMORIES :) hi angel friends! :) i am feeling very spirited, excited, and pumped up, for the 1st game of the Redskins 2013 season :) my Washington Redskins, are the DEFENDING NFC EAST CHAMPIONS!!! :) and they are ready, to bring on the new season, and 16 sweet new games, as they begin their journey, and their quest, of Superbowl Glory!!! :) Every team, a sweet superbowl dream! :) Today, i am all pumped up and excited, for the big game tonight, and sharing some stories, and memories i have, of being a Redskins fan :) from the beginning back in 1991 when i was 11 years old, to the sweet glory of last season's NFC east title, all throughout the years, big games, wins, heart-breaking losses, but always, many special memories made, that i love, so very much :) i'm so proud, to be a fan of the Redskins. :)
Back in the late 1980's, and early 1990's, i was just getting into watching football, i became very interested in the sport, when i noticed one evening, my family, older brothers, and older sister Lisa, and my parents, were gathering in our living room, to watch something on tv. :) it was, Superbowl, 24, between the 49ers and Broncos :) i remember watching the game, and i really liked it! :) i WAS INSTANTLY HOOKED!!! :) FOOTBALL FAN! :) FOREVER!!! :) i began to watch the games, during the seasons, and i remember back in 1991, there was a team, that caught my eye, and caught my heart, The Washington Redskins :) they were having a magical season that year, and i noticed, how well they played :) they had a Quarterback, named Mark Rypien :) he wore #11 jersey, and he was throwing touchdowns left and right that season! oh my! :) Art Monk, Gary Clarke, Rickey Sanders, they were unstoppable!!! :) and their defense, amazing with Darrell Green leading the way! :)
It was a exciting feeling, to be cheering them on, and becoming, a fan of the Washington Redskins :) i remember that season very well :) The Redskins went on, to the playoffs, and the superbowl, and defeated the Buffalo Bills in Superbowl 26, i watched the game on CBS, and i remember it was amazing! :) Redskins 37- Bills 24 :) The Redskins coach, Joe Gibbs, being carried off the field victorious, superbowl champions, and Mark Rypen, the MVP of the Superbowl :) i remember my family being very excited, about me being a fan of the Redskins, and they began to buy some Redskins collectibles for me :) i remember a cool saturday back in 1992, when my mom, and dad, took me to the Sports Shack store over in the Norwichtown Mall, and bought for me, a Redskins Superbowl hat, and also went to Caldoor's store in Waterford, Connecticut, and bought me another Redskins hat :)
i had football fever!!! :) i remember, wearing my hats, proudly, and getting a Redskins themed football, burgundy and cold, from the Ames store that use too be up the road from us :) i was so excited, my friends and i use too play football in the road in front of our house :) i remember we'd pretend to be NFL players, our favorite players, and would play football for hours and hours :) pure fun, and so nice, many special memories :) We were shopping at the New London, CT mall one weekend, the 5th avenue sports shop, and i remember, seeing a very cool Redskins collectible, back in 1993, a Redskins collectible Pin :) i bought the pin with my allowance money, and i remember being so proud of the pin, i put the pin on my hat. :) it was the beginning of me falling in love with collecting Redskins pins/buttons :) over the years, when my family and i went out to shop, at the sports stores, i would buy Redskins pins/buttons, and recieved some for gifts, and to this day, i now have, 42 different Redskins pins, and buttons :) i sometimes put them all on, one of my Redskins hat, it's really cool :)
i love collecting Redskins items, and collectibles :) it's really fun :) i remember back in 1997, my mom and dad bought a mini riddell Redskins helmet, that i have right here next to me today, on this Redskins gameday :) i also collect Redskins hats, shirts, and other Redskins collectibles :) posters, mini helmets :) i remember back in the early 1990's, when i began to collect these tiny little mini helmets in those quarter machines at the grocery stores :) i remember, i would get some quarters, and would always try to find the Redskins helmet, and always got other teams, but in the mid 1990's, at the better value grocery store, i put a quarter in, and there came out, a Redskins mini helmet! :) of course after that, i always got lots of Redskins mini helmets! :) hehe! :) i remember when we use too go to his store, called Bradley's, over in Groton, CT, they had these icees drinks, and we use too get the NFL teams collectible cups with the drinks, and i remember always getting the Redskins cup. :) i think i had saved about 12 of them :) i also use too collect the NFL team cans, back in the mid 1990's :) in 1996, some of my Redskins collectibles, were a part of my halloween costume! :) i remember that year, i dressed up as a Redskins player for halloween and went trick or treating :)
my Redskins collectibles collection, is very special, and precious to me :) i cherish, and treasure every Redskins collectible i have :) magazines, newspaper clippings, and other Redskins items, i love it very much :) i want to share with you all, about a super cool football card i got :) my mom, dad, family, and i were shopping at the big mall, back in 1994, and the sears store use too have football cards, other sports cards :) We saw, a Mark Rypen Super Rookie card :) my mom and dad bought it for me :) i use too collect lots of sports cards, and the Beckette sports cards books, told about the prices of the cards, and i remember in the football magazine, they shared the NFL team's addresses, where you could write to the team, and players :) i wrote a letter to Mark Rypien, the Redskins player, and asked him if he could sign my football card :) about 3 months later, i recieved an envelope back from Redskins park, and guess what? MARK RYPIEN SIGNED MY CARD!!! :) oh my! :) i was so pumped up! :) i was showing all of my family, friends, i was absolutely thrilled!!! :) it's my favorite sports card i've ever had, and always will be :)
Collecting items of your favorite team, is one of the most enjoyable thing, about being a fan :) it's really neat. :) my collection has really grown over the years, and even recently, getting some Redskins collectibles, it's so nice :) i love my collection :) i want to share, about Christmas holiday season, 1992. :) i was in my 2nd season as a Redskins fan, and it was just before Christmas eve, we were playing the Raiders, and i remember my family and i gathered in our living room, and we got to open some early Christmas gifts :) my mom and dad gave me, a Redskins Christmas ornament, and Redskins mug :) i have both of those collectibles, right here in my computer room :) so cool! :) i feel a great passion, and love for my team, the Redskins :) We have a great team tradition, one of the longest running teams in the National Football League (NFL) :) The Redskins, have lots of tradition, lots of games, 3 Superbowl championships, many games over the years, from victories, to heart breaking losses, and each season, has it's own unique qualities. :) i'd love to take this time, to share about some of my Favorite Redskins games, and some of the losses, that stuck with me over the years, but there's always a new season, to celebrate, and cheer :)
REDSKINS GAMES! :) FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAMES! :) my all-time favorite Redskins game, is Superbowl 26. :) my 2nd favorite game, was last year's game, on December 30th, when the Redskins defeated the Cowboys to win the 2012 NFC East Division Championship :) Redskins, 28-18 :) i remember that game like it was yesterday :) it was nearly 11:30pm that night, score was 21-18, Redskins winning, deep 4th quarter, and the Cowboys has the football. they threw an interception to us, and we got the football, and our runningback scored a touchdown, to seal the victory, and i remember, pure esctatic excitement flowing in my heart, i literally felt like i was right there at Fed Ex Field with the other fans, with the Redskins, cheering,and they played our song, HAIL TO THE REDSKINS! HAIL VICTORY!!!" and it was unbelievable! the crowd, going wild, i was going wild! my dad was still up watching the game too! :) we all felt like, we had won, we all had won :) Redskins, first division title since 1999. :) a fan was holding up a sign, and it said, "tonight, we are gonna party like it's 1999" hehe! :) i remember staying up that night, until 1:30am in the morning, joyfully celebrating the Redskins victory, watching sportscenter, drinking iced coffee, i was absolutely thrilled! :)
Last season, was the 1st season, for their new quarterback, RG3 (Robert Griffin the 3rd) :) RG3, and other new Redskins players, have given us fans, Hope :) for many years, and many seasons, the Redskins encountered some rough times, and rough games, and tough losses. from 1994, through 1998, it was rough, and from 2000, through 2011, some very rough seasons, of course sprinkled in with some success in 1999, 2005, and 2007, but we needed something, we needed a new player, we needed someone that was gonna change the team, change the style, we needed a quarterback. :) i remember before the 2012 NFL draft, i was talking with our dear friend Holly on the phone :) i said, "Holly, the Redskins need to trade up to the #2 pick in the draft, we need that pick, to draft, Rg3. :) a couple weeks later, i was thrilled to find out, the Redskins traded up, to pick #2, and we drafted, RG3 :) wow! Last season, we begin with an amazing victory over the Saints, we scored 40 points in that game, it had been probably 10 years, since the Redskins scored, 40 points :) The Redskins went through some growing spurts, we were 3-6 after 9 games last year, a very heart breaking loss, to the Carolina Panthers, and we then had, our bye week :) Something happened, during that bye week, something clicked, and the Redskins came out the next week, vs the Eagles :) i remember our dear friend Holly saying. "Chris, your Redskins are winning big!" and i checked the score, Redskins, defeated the Eagles that game, and went on an amazing run, we won, 7 straight games :)
Redskins, 10-6, and went to the playoffs!!! :) wow! :) what an amazing run it was :) the Redskins now, begin this new season, with RG3 coming back, from a very serious knee injury last year. in the playoff game vs Seattle Seahawks, RG3 played on his bad knee, until he couldn't stand anymore, and had major surgery, and has been rehabbing, and now, he's back, and ready to play tonight, vs the Eagles, to begin, our new season :) i know, with all of my heart, tonight, when Rg3 comes out onto that field, leading the 2013 Redskins, the fans, and all of the fans watching around the states, around the world, are gonna be going absolutely wild, cheering with excitement :) i am ready, and i am so pumped up, for this game!!!!:) REDSKINS vs EAGLES. it's on! it's on!!! :) i have had so much fun, sharing with you all in my journal, about my Redskins fan story, and memories i have. :) this is very enjoyable. :) i am a Redskins fan, for life :) like every NFL fan, and Redskins fan, i have hopes for my Redskins this season, to defend their NFC east title, to go to the playoffs, and maybe win the superbowl :) There's always hope! :) It's so much fun, being a fan, especially when your team, begins a new season :) The thrill of cheering on your team, it's amazing, and one of life's great experiences, to be able to invest your spirit, your heart, your joy, into cheering for a team, that is really neat, cool, and fun :) i am ready to cheer on my Washington Redskins, every game, all season :) Good luck Redskins! :) i'm with you! :) Hail to the Redskins! :) Hail Victory! :)

WOW Chris!!! You are a huge FAN!!! And your collection of Redskins stuff IS MASSIVE!!! It\'s so cool that you\'ve been a fan for such a long time... Clearly, it\'s been GREAT for your COLLECTION!!
Strange how the end of summer looms, and I\'m ready to welcome cooler weather... i love the changes of season and all of the fall things that will be really rockin\' soon!!
Guy went north to scare up some work so it\'s the pupz and I holdin down the farm... I made a quick run to town and fell at Walgreens. Other than feeling stupid, I left with a couple of bruises to add to MY VAST COLLECTION... My knee smarts a little but all is fine when bones don\'t break in my book! Relaxation is the mode tonight after a nice Flatout Pizza for dinner! Fresh garden tomatoes and yellow peppers made it GREAT!!!
Love to you and Mom and Dad and everyone in CT!!! Have a nice evening... Watching Monday Nire Football??? Did that start???
xoxoxo Cj
Hi Chris Glad you had a nice day and you\'re looking forward to watching the Redskins play tonight.Hope they win big for you. I enjoyed your video and journal. the video was clever. Neat that you have so many great Redskins collectibles. All of the plants in the garden are looking beautiful.Thanks for all my nice hugs today. Enjoy the game tonight. hugs to everyone-Stephanie
Hey Chris, it amazes me to see all of your plants in the garden and the harvest of them. So much yumminess. I hope that the days do not get too much cooler for you. They will where I am, and the only thing I\'m looking forward to when the snow comes is playing with my dog Rya outside. We both become babies again- she gets her puppy on and I feel like I\'m eight. Anyway, you are a bigger football fan than I thought! That is quite a collection you got there! I hope your brother has a great birthday. My mom\'s birthday is in 10 days- birthdays are wonderful ways to celebrate the time you have left with loved ones! Enjoy each precious moment!
Dear Chris, I am happy you had such a great day! :-) I love your beautiful pictures! :-) Your garden is very beautiful :-) love all your football- Redskin
Collection! Awesome! :-) I had a okay day... Lionel and I went shopping, but

Wow Chris....you are Definitely a Washington Redskin Fan...I just came up after watching the game...It was a good game,though I was and am rooting for Washington. Looking forward to the season. Enjoyed hearing about your memories centered around Football and how you came to choose Washington as your team. Enjoyed seeing the pictures you share when you were younger.
Those tomato\'s look soooo sooo good. and your Sunflowers are so pretty.
Tonight was grilled chicken breast with garden salad.
I steam cleaned the downstairs carpet then worked out in the backyard. The kitties supervised ha ha!

I hope you had a good time watching the game last night, even though they didn\'t win! You do have a lot of Redskins stuff! Do you know there is a big argument over the name? What would they be if they weren\'t the Redskins? Yeah well. Somebody will always be upset about something, you can count on that! Have you ever been to NFLShop.com? You can buy lots of team gear over there, but it is very expensive. I bought my mom and dad sweatshirts for Christmas one year, and about went broke doing it! And the women\'s sizes are very small. I had to buy a man\'s sweatshirt for my mom because a woman\'s XL wouldn\'t fit! She wears XL in her regular clothes, but apparently the NFLShop sizes are a lot smaller than regular clothes. The men\'s sizing was fine, though! Go figure! Anyway, you can personalize your sweatshirts with your name and whatever number you want and everything. It\'s really cool!!
Hope you\'re having a good Tuesday! *HUGS*
