Much as I love seeing my hometown Washington Redskins play reasonably well I can’t help feeling a bit a bit nostalgic for games of yesteryear, when I assumed they had no chance of winning. Games such as that played yesterday, which raise my hopes for not for a fleeting moment or two but for 97 percent of the game are no doubt more disappointing than the one-sided drubbings to which I’d become accustomed.

Just sayin’.
