It’s going to be another long season for the Redskins and their fans, isn’t it? Watching them blow a 27-10 lead was about as painful as paying $8 a beer at FedEx Field. And that was after being one of the lucky few to purchase water before they sold out. Yes, on an sunny 85 degree day, they neglected to stock enough water for a “sell out” crowd, and there isn’t a water fountain to be found in the stadium. Oh how I miss RFK. Okay, rant over and onto the links from the last week. Because, despite the loss, it was a pretty perfect weekend in town. Gorgeous weather, great events, a great end to the summer.
