I've been a 'Skins fan since the days of Sam Baker and Eddie LeBaron (Doug Flutie-sized at best).....and Gene Brito, Dickie James, Joe Scudero and that bunch. 1957. Some bleak days as a football equivalent of the woeful Senators, but they weren't worthy of a Broadway Musical.

I don't particularly like their front office management any more than I do that of the Orioles (I might like the Nationals ownership, if they had any), but I knew them before the tradition o winning set by Allen and Gibbs that these people here bemoan, and I still begrudgingly pull for them.

I, too, see nothing to quite match the Colts this year from the NFC, so hope for a Colts-Pats rematch and a Manning Brothers shootout just for entertainment value.
