Getting To Know You

My name is Tim, I'm embarressed to say I'm 31. I'm a soldier in the Army which means I am rarely in any one place for long. I worked security at the pentagon for a number of years in my youth and took to the skins then. I was a fan much earlier growing up in the Philadelphia area, my dad hated the redskins so of course I became a fan. It gave us something to argue about. That was the year of the 87-88 season (good time to start) Anyway congrats on your 1000th post.

My name is D Riggins and Riggensghost I'm sure you'll be happy to hear I'm 36. I'm a Noo Yawka born and bred but I went to UMCP for grad school. That's the Terps if ya don't know. With my last name I've been a Skinz fan since I've been aware of football, although I'm questioning the coaches insistance on using a washed-up QB with no arm strength. My friends are already trying to recruit me to root for their teams but I'm here until Gibbs retires which right now I hope is soon! Anywho, I have a 2 month old son who has seen 1 preseason game and 1 regular season game as well as having 4 Skins outfits. I'm hoping we can make a return to greatness and shut up Pastabelly and Z. Anyone who wants to hook a brutha up with a sig is welcome to do so. Peace.

My Name is Josh, I am 17. I live in Lancaster Pennsylvania but I was born in DC. I am Very Pro Washington for pretty much everything. I am a Junior in Highschool. I'd like to go pro someday or be an analyst or coach, anything involving the sport really.

My name is David, and i am 40, yeah 40. I live in Carlisle in the UK,I have been a skins fan since 1981, thats when channel 4 started showing edited highlights of the nfl over here.The first time i saw Dexter Manley with his mohawk, i thought he's pretty cool, the skins seemed to have loads of characters on the team, thats why i adopted them as my team. I remember staying up to watch super bowl 17, the first live super bowl over here, and going nuts when Riggo went for a 43 yard td on 4th and 1. I played the game for 5 years(running back), and in that time i got to meet the diesel himself, he was doing a few coaching seminars(if you could call them that) over here, i remember thinking" bloody hell, he's big". I have played soccer and rugby league, but nothing comes close to the comradeship you get playing football, it' the best team game in the world to play imo, that's what i keep telling my son, Darrell(named after guess who) alias titansfan, he introduced me to this site, so he's to blame for me babbling on.

He was not drafted. ALl those guys plus Jacoby and Grimm were the only Skins drafted.

(Not including George Allen or Vince Lombardi)
