45-12

Jason Campbell attributed this latest Redskins loss to either 'loss of focus' or 'loss of concentration'! ???? What's the difference?

Anyway, Reb came through with some great tickets! Redskins vs Giants! Monday Night Football! (Nevermind the Skins haven't won a Monday Night Game since 1997. Nevermind the snow. Nevermind the holiday traffic.) We parked at a discount lot several miles from the stadium. We snubbed the shuttle bus and decided to walk to the stadium. We cut across several snow covered fields, wandered around an industrial park lot before scaling a chain link fence, sliding down an embankment and then walked the remaining 2 miles to the stadium.

By the time we found our seats the Giants were up by a touchdown. The game went downhill from there. We were in the second row, 50 yard line - right behind the Skins' bench. We were so close we could see the steam rising from their heads. So close I could count Albert Haynesworth's F-bombs during his tantrums. We were so close to the action I had a running conversation going with Quinton Ganther, and a few other players. I even made eye contact with Antwaan Randle El and received a nod when he noticed I was wearing his jersey!

Amazing seats! God-Awful Game!

When it's all said and done, and done and said I got to see an NFL game from an amazing perspective, and helped boost my older brother over a fence while standing knee-deep in a snowdrift! Getting to the game was half the fun!
