Redskins Fans Burn McNabb Jersey

From DC Sports Bog:

It had been announced that the fires would begin at 12:15, so around that time the crowd gathered, chanting "Burn It, Burn It," and the like. Even a guy in a McNabb jersey was yelling "Burn It." People can unite around the cleansing power of fire. Of course, the crowd was briefly distracted by some gents shotgunning light beer of some sort.

Tailgating!  But alas, my favorite part from the entire article.

Finally the fires began, and the crowd exulted, and the crowd sang "Hail to the Redskins," and the jersey really did disappear within seconds. "It is no longer there," one fan remarked.

Another guy in a McNabb jersey ran up and attempted to blow out the flames.

That's the kind of Eagles fans I like to see!

I implore you to go read all of the choice quotes Mr. Steinberg gets out of the Redskins faithful.  And a video! Amazing.

I saw that guy holding the 'fried eagle' and asking if anyone wanted some 'fried eagle'. He was one of many redskins fans who were neither creative or innovative in their chants.

The best they could do was ' Dawkins Sucks', 'McNabb Sucks' and westbrook Sucks'. They didn't say too much after that 57-yard touchdown run.

Also, they do that Soulja Boy dance every 5-10 minutes. Extremely annoying.

The Skins fans had to deal with Joe Gibbs coaching their beloved team so I guess a little "hell raising" is justified. Bet they wish they could light a fire under Gibbs' butt and see if that wakes him up because he looked like a lost soul on the sidelines with no sense of direction. To see that, from a Hall of Fame coach, should show that Joe was too involved and inhaled too many exhaust fumes while involved with racing.
