When I was a kid, I loved going on the tilt-a-whirl at Busch Gardens. Many of my friends would get sick from the g-forces, but it didn’t bother me, and I loved holding on for dear life, trying not to slide up and down the bench.
So far this season, being a Redskins fan has been a lot like that experience…an endless cycle of ups and downs. The difference is, I’m not a kid anymore, and now, that makes me nauseous. The season thus far has looked like this: Impressive road win against Arizona; dizzyingly bad home loss to Indy; solid home win against Green Bay; horror-show road loss to New Orleans; gutsy home win against Carolina.
