Redskins would kill for those season right now and yes it was hard to coach a team when your city is under water and stadium is destroyed. Remember Katrina hit in August.
Last Friday, after practice, he was on the field by himself for like 40 minutes, just punting the ball, and running after it, and punting the ball and running after it, Jones told 106.7 The Fan's The Junkies. The guy looks like he's lost, doesn't know what's going on, and so I did feel bad for him.
So wait a minute; he was on the practice field, in the bubble, just punting the ball like a kid would, just out in the back yard? co-host Jason Bishop asked.
Out there on the practice field, Jones said. He stayed there. This was outside, after everybody's in the locker room changing their clothes, getting ready to go, and he's just out there for like 40 minutes punting the ball, he'd run after it, punt the ball.
In general, fans are loyal as hell. We root for laundry and we know it we dont care. Its part of our DNA. Were always coming back. Its just one of the things that makes human beings so freaking strange. Well divorce people before we divorce our favorite teams.
But an irredeemable owner? Thats the only person who can nudge a fan base to a collective breaking point. When you support a pro team with an unspeakably awful owner, at some point you take a step back, do the math and mutter things like, I was 19 when he bought the team, Im 34 right now, and Im gonna be 54 in 2034 AND WE ARE STILL GOING TO SUCK BECAUSE THIS GUY F-​-​-​-​-​-​ SUCKS AND HES NEVER LEAVING AND WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO DO?
