Oh, yeah. And the puppy from hell. I was mostly deaf and full of puncture marks after that "fun" experience.
But I tell ya' what, nothing feels better than clanging the biggest, loudest cowbell you can after the Redskins score
Not if you're sitting about a foot away from said cowbell.

He pointed out that Monday, maynot be a practice day because we have a game Monday night, then Tuesday will probably be a day off from practice because of the game late Monday, and then the Redskins miss yet ANOTHER practrice day because of having to travel to Dallas. He seems to think there's a Rule or something stating that if you play on a Monday night game, your next game is supposed to be a home game or something like that so you don't miss soo many days of practice. Sounds logical to me. Isn't there an NFL rule or something to this effect? Anyone know off hand? It sounds unfair.Then again its the Dallas Cowboys, lots of things are unfairly disadvantaged towards us concerning them. Any input?
A year ago, it was explained to me the "typical NFL team" had a week scheduled like this. (Note that this is after playing on a Sunday.)
Monday: Players off. Coaches use Monday to go over the previous day's game tapes / view some tapes of their next opponent.
Tuesday: Players and coaches meetings. More video of upcoming oppenent, finalizing game plan for next game.
Wednesday and Thursday: These are the two big practice days. Also, following Thursday's practice, the "final" injury report is due to the league. This is why you hear many coaches point to who did/didn't practice on Thursday as the availability for the next game.
Friday: Final walkthrough/ light practice. Special teams walkthroughs, etc. (No pads...unless Coach thinks the previous two practices weren't of the quality he would prefer.)
Saturday: Travel day if away. If home game, day off for players (usually) or final walkthroughs (morning only). Coaches meeting for final polish on gameplan.
There is no "rule" about travelling for the next game after a Monday night home game. This just means the Skins will have to compress the Monday and Tuesday schedule into Tuesday / Wednesday morning. Practice in pads Wednesday afternoon and Thursday. (typically) Maybe a light pads workout on Friday morning.
I wouldn't put too much thought into a conspiracy, as Dallas has to play the Sunday before Thanksgiving....and then play four days later on Thanksgiving. Every year.

It's just not the same anymore.
Both of you have great memories of your dads....what a way to honor their memory...continuing to enjoy the game!!!
I can't watch an Orioles game without good memories of my uncle.
