ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL???

[liquidmistletoe]

At long last, the night we have all been waiting for! (Aside from the real season opener that matters, but you know... hey, it's football!!)

NFL 2013-2014 IS FINALLY HERE!

Tonight the Redskins open up the preseason against the Tennessee Titans at 8:00pm EST.

I suspect we'll see a fair bit of Cousins, perhaps some Pat White or Grossman (the

Damn straight, Hail!! Thanks for getting the energy started with a bang, Robin!

The user info for this community has (finally) been updated for the 2013 season; the only thing I have left to do is go through after the preseason and modify the interests list to reflect the final 53. I hate seeing a bye week that early in the season, as it means a marathon to the playoffs, but I guess you play the hand you're dealt.

I agree that I can't imagine seeing Griffin on the field -- I'd be surprised if he even dresses, although I don't remember what the restrictions are for player limits during the preseason -- and I think Captain Kirk has the primary backup slot taken care of. So I'm guessing we'll be seeing a lot of Pat and Rex (ugh; I was never a fan of Grossman) competing for #3.

No problem - I've been excited for weeks

Hail yeah!!! I've been counting down for about a month!!! HAHA :)

And I stole this icon because I literally can't find any other ones online. :(

If you find a picture that you want made into an icon and some idea of what you want the finished icon to look like, send the information to me; if it's not something incredibly complex, I can whip it up for you in GIMP in about 10 minutes.

Bah! You're awesome. Let me do some digging around.

I really wanted an icon that flashed all my favorite DC teams (Nats, Caps, Skins) for a second like this icon:

Picture-cycling animated GIFs are a cinch. Here's what I'd need:
* All the pictures you want, including commentary on what area of the picture I should crop to
* The order you want them in
* Any text you want on a specific picture, or between two specific pictures
* The amount of time each picture should display before it changes (or leave that up to my judgment)

Ich wohne leider nicht in den USA. Ich stamme aus Deutschland, liebe aber American Football. Ich bin kein Fan einer Mannschaft, noch nicht. Ich beobachte seit Jahren die Spiele und die Meisterschaften. Und irgendwann werde ich ein Fan einer Mansnchaft sein. Vielleicht der Redskins.

Bitte verzeihen Sie mir, ich bin ein dummer Amerikaner und nur eine Sprache sprechen. Ich haben zu verwenden Google Translate. :-)

Die Redskins sind eine wunderbare American-Football-Mannschaft, und wir lieben sie. Selbst wenn sie nicht gewinnen, wir halten den Glauben, dass sie besser sein wird im nächsten Jahr und wir haben nie die Hoffnung aufgeben. Im vergangenen Jahr gewann sie ihre Teilung verlor aber in der ersten Runde der Meisterschaft, und wir erwarten, dass sie genauso gut oder besser in diesem Jahr tun. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie in unserer Gemeinde haben, aber die meisten unserer Diskussion wird in englischer Sprache sein (und eine Menge von Begriffen spezifisch für American Football), und ich hoffe, dass Sie in der Lage sein, zu verstehen und zu beteiligen. Willkommen in unserer Gemeinde!
