Hall of Famer Darrell Green will be blogging for The Washington Times this football season at washingtontimes.com. Here is an excerpt from his first post.
It’s what the players (both present and former), the coaches and every Redskins and Cowboys fan both young and old wait for all year long. That’s right, baby - it’s Dallas Week! Our biggest game of the season is taking place this Sunday afternoon.
The battle between the ’Skins and the ’Boys started well before I got here, was strong while I played and is even stronger now that I’m watching as a fan.
It seems like the Washington-Dallas rivalry is as old as time, and the tradition of Dallas Week brings an atmosphere rich with pride, excitement and great expectations of the impending clash of the titans.
Anyone would be hard-pressed to find a Redskins fan who isn’t ready and willing to bet the farm on a Redskins victory.
