re: A Tribute To My Dad And All Those That Can’t Be With Us At The Dome Today

Last game I watched with my dad was the 06 NFCCG.

Lost him suddenly and unexpectedly after that game.

The 07 and 08 seasons I wasn’t able to follow as closely because it just felt off not being able to talk with him about the team and the season. Watching games just wasn’t the same.


I guess enough time had passed because I went into the 09 season excited and feeling like I could finally enjoy football again.

Was living in DC at the time and was there for the Redskins game (no I’m not the mystery Who Dat fan ), and felt like dad was there with me.

When Meach stripped that ball I had no doubt the season was ours and Dad and all of our dads up above were making it happen.


Made it home for the NFCCG as well. Turned down tickets for the Super Bowl because I wanted to be home watching it to truly savor every moment. Got snowed in the entire week after the game so watched it at least once a day every day that week.


I won’t be making the decision to stay home if we make the SB this time. Skipped coming back for NFCCG and will be in Atlanta to see Drew give it another shot
