It is unusual that I have a Friday morning unscheduled. So I took advantage. The Washington Redskins allow fans to come to see practice, but only for a few days. Well, today was the day for my daughter and me!
It was a hot, sultry, tiring day. You must stand to be able to see. No matter... she had a blast!
We hooted and hollered.
She cheered for her heart throb - Chris Cooley - each time he touched the ball.
She waited through the whole, for her somewhat boring, practice just for the end to come.
Why the end?
Autographs.
Who's autograph in particular?
Chris Cooley!
That is her head in the foreground!
She got another one too. QB Colt Brennan. Similar head shot.
She could not have been more excited! Two autographs. There may have been opportunity for more, but there were so many people ...
The QB's practicing.
Today the offense was in burgundy and the defense in white. They did many plays and formations.
On the way out, my daughter had her picture taken in Chris Cooley's uniform. And we will preserve the Holy Hat.
Yes, that is the former hat which is now the
Holy Hat.
It will have its own place in the basement Redskin Room.
We call the room Cuchihuasi, meaning "Hog House."
What a fun walk in the park! The place was packed with a few thousand people, all die hard and all dressed the part.
We got there at 630am were home by noon.
I have to say, it's a good thing they are practicing - truth be told, they were not at all sharp. Not at all...
Well, practice just started yesterday!
We'll hope for the best. It might take a lot of hope.
