NFL Week 17: Turn out the lights, the party's almost over

I don't see any reference to 30,000 Steelers fans, or any actual support for your argument. In fact, it mostly talks about the lack of support for teams other than the Redskins.

15,000 to 20,000 is not 30,000. Try to get your facts straight next time. You've got Wilbon (repeatedly) and a fan message board as your "credible" sources. I'll stand with the people who told you that you were nuts the first time this came up.

 

I'll stick with Wilbon.

 

I am just hoping that week 17 gives me the only thing that I really wanted for Christmas.

 

Shocking that you wild stick with the one guy who agrees with you.

 

LOL

 

FWIW, neither 15,000 or 20,000 or 30,000 sound like "facts" to me.

More like a bunch of guesses.

 

I'd attribute some of those sentiments for people liking RGIII as an emerging superstar rather than being a Redskins thing. Just my opinion.

Also, I like RGIII as a QB. It's not tough for me to say that as a Cowboys fan. The guy has charisma and is a talented athlete. It's easy to like him. I just wish he would've gone to Cleveland instead of to a NFC East rival.

 

The amount of media love for Griffin is more than I can remember for any player in a long time. Eerie.
