And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles
and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry,
'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of American
blind justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and the
judge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy
pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each
one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us.  And
we was fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage in the snow, but thats not
what I came to tell you about.

Came to talk about the draft.

You'd expect to hear the lyrics to classic Eddie Money from some overweight, balding, alcoholic wreck of a man whose life peaked in high school but could have been orders of magnitude better if coach had only kept him in during the 4th quarter at the State Championships. You might be surprised to hear this from a former NFL star who had it all, including a Super Bowl Championship ring.

Redskin Fans Get Hit Hard By Team's Offensive Line

Posted to Sport on Sun Sep 06, 2009 at 08:46:53 AM EST (promoted by port1080). RSS.

American football fans are a breed apart.  Especially the fans who are so emotionally attached to their teams that they are willing to fork over the moolah required to pay for Personal Seat Licenses (PSLs) and season tickets.  But, hey, you're a part of something greater than yourself.  You're part of the team and well-loved by the ownership.  At least that's the line most National Football League clubs feed to their adoring fans as they're taking their money.  But, when things are tight and you can't afford the season tickets, your club will work with you and figure out a way to honor your decades of faithful devotion, right?  Wrong.  At least not if you're a Washington Redskins fan like Pat Hill who is being rewarded for close to a half century of devotion by being sued into bankruptcy by the team she loves.
