GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME

Redskins critic Kissing Suzy Kolber identifies 3 reasons to like the Washington Redskins:
1 - Joe Gibbs – In the movie about the old coach who returns to a league that may passed him by, Gibbs’ character last season went from Hume Cronyn to Wilford Brimley. And in a league where assistant coaches have become increasingly visible (and therefore more important? Not sure which came first), he’s got two pretty good ones.

2 - Clinton Portis – On the field, we all know the guy can play. But it is off the field where Clinton stole our hearts. His weekly press conferences were one of the few instances of plain, silly fun in the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE in the last several years. I have no doubt that the powers that be will ban them by the start of the season. In fact, Joe Buck is already sorry they ever took place and thinks we are all worse off for having seen them.

3 - Dan Snyder – Short, rich, and apoplectic. He’s Kim Jong Il but without the nuclear capabilities.
I detect snark in each list item, and much fun can be had with Daniel Snyder, but befor you give him too hard a time, remember, that is all his own money, and some say he saved professional football from becoming another MLB.
