All Systems Go...Welcome to Bleeding Burgundy

Thanks for stopping by...as you can see, this site is brand new. But, that means you can be a part of it from the beginning. Hail.

Bleeding Burgundy is updated 24/7. Whether it's my opinions as a fan or the live Washington Redskins news feeds you see over to the right.

A little about me and why I started this. I've been a Skins fan since 1980. My parents moved me here as a tot so I grew up in Fairfax during the Skins glory years. I guess I lucked out, I was pretty close to growing up a Chargers or Bears fan...guess the planets were aligned in the early 80's. So, I had a kid's perspective of Joe Jackson Gibb's run at 4 Super Bowls and the 3 wins. It was pretty dope to relive it as an adult when he came back...but we all know how that worked out (I'll get into that later).

After waiting on the season ticket list for 10 years...and began receiving "Official Redskin Junk Mail and Spam" for the rest of my life...I finally got my season tickets last summer. It was one hell of a season to be a part of at FedEx. The 2007 season was f$#%ing crazy! From Jon Jansen's snapped ankle on Opening Day, the 4th quarter loss to the Giants, the Cardinals nail biter victory, Sean Taylor's tragic death, to the insane run to the Playoffs. So, this year, I am doing this blog and getting back on the net after a few years off.

I'll be posting random training camp observations, on site Hall of Fame stuff, Redskin home game banter including drunken tailgating debacles, Monday morning quarterbacking, and other random stuff that may or may not interest you. Stay tuned.

Again, welcome, come back soon/often, feel free to check the news and video over to the right...post comments...offer tips...whatevs. Hail.

Cheers.
