I’m going to try and post my uninformed predictions for the Washington Redskins here every week. While I have claimed to be “The World’s Most Casual Hockey Fan” I think I can’t even say that much about my new-found, rooting-for them-because-they-are-a-“D.C.”-team fandom. Let’s say, I’m “The World’s Most Apathetic Redskins Fan.”

Moving on, I think Donovan McNabb at quarterback is worth 1 to 2 wins a season which is the same I feel about Mike Shanahan as head coach, so I’ll meet halfway and say the Redskins improve to 7-9 in 2010.

Tonight will not be one of those wins though, they are just not ready with McNabb barely playing in preseason. I predict the Dallas Cowboys will beat the Skins 24-16.

Oh and contrary to what new Redskins GM Bruce Allen thinks, the glory days of the Redskins were not the 1970s when his father George Allen was coach, though those were good times for the burgundy and gold. The glory years were when Joe Gibbs was coach and they wore white jerseys and burgundy pants most of the time (always at home) and occasionally burgundy and white on the road. Burgundy jerseys and Allen’s beloved “gold” pants aka “ketchup n’ mustard” are a downgrade. They are superior to the monochromatic looks of recent seasons though. Not making the Cowboys wear blue jerseys is violating the social contract.
