Very cool! Hope our guys can get up for this b/c we usually fall pretty hard when we do something like this. Almost time to roll.

But cant wait to see all this!

This game really should be in prime time. It just makes too much sense.

This. The NFL feels that the Giants @ Washington, cities that were BOTH attacked on 9/11, AND are also divison rivals, got beat out of the prime time slot by Dallas Cowboys @ NY Jets, Dallas having NOTHING to do with 9/11 and the teams are not only non-division rivals but also not even in the same conference?

Oh, wait. It's Dallas. Nevermind. Come on, NFL. That's shameful, IMO. Dallas gets the hype/attention/spotlight 365 days a year on every sports outlet. Can't the "prime time" focus NOT be on them for just this once?

Even if we all weren't Redskins fans, wouldn't most of us agree that the 9/11 prime time/tribute game SHOULD be NY @ WASH in the national spotlight? Like, shouldn't that be a no brainer?

Don't you know? A Jets/Cowboys game is just soo much more exciting! They have such a rivalary

[SwampEm]

read a rumor on twitter that obama might be attending the game. Wonder if there is any truth to that? I don't believe anything on twitter.

I hope not. Not because I don't like the president, but because it takes forever to get into events when the president is there. I went to a Nats game one time when Bush was there. It took about 45 minutes to get into RFK because everybody had to go through metal detectors.

I thought we werent supposed to get political?

[Crazy Levi]

I think this whole thing sucks.

I'm jacked for the start of the NFL season. This game isn't a football game, it's another 9/11 special.

Enough already...can't we just watch a football game?
