I was extremely excited to see the Redskins lose. As a Ravens fan I have deal with Redskins riding the excitement of winning three Superbowls. I hate the Redskins so much I had to make a separate post about it because it over flooded my other football post. One that I wasn't alive for, another when I was about 10 months and then other was won when I was 5. I know the Ravens Superbowl win was quite awhile ago but since that Superbowl they have consistently been a solid team with only a couple losing seasons. Since the Ravens came to Baltimore the Redskins have been a splotchy mess of losing seasons, with a couple playoff berths. In fact since the Redskins won their last superbowl the Browns/Ravens* have made it to the playoffs 4 times the Redskins only 3. The overall playoff records of each team is Ravens 6-3(2000-01 Superbowl championship) and Redskins 3-3. I guess my argument is the Redskins don't have a right to say the "Ravens suck" or anything like that when considering the fact that the franchise has made a giant turn around since the Redskins last Superbowl. The Redskins tradition of excellence was ruined when Joe Gibbs left the first time, then guaranteed to years of miserable seasons when Daniel Snyder came. For such a young guy, he's very old fashioned asking to be called Mr. Synder and things like that. I don't really care too much in that regard but he pretty much throws bags with "$" markings at players that aren't worth it. In conclusion this is why I hate the Redskins or more particularly the lack of respect for the Ravens from their fans. Until they start impressing today, I don't care about their past, I never use the Ravens past to justify why my team is better and neither should they.
*the Ravens were initially made with the Cleveland Browns roster from the 1994-95 season because they were floating on bankruptcy and had operations suspended until 1999.
