We're ninety minutes away from the start of Monday Night Football on this hectic Christmas Eve, and though the San Diego Chargers' defense has yet to play, I have the 2007 Just Us League title all but locked up.   According to league by-laws, there's no way a defense can post negative points.  And my opponent is all out of players, so my ever-so-slim four-point lead should hold.  I owe it all to my beloved Washington Redskins.  The Redskins have been my second favorite team since I moved to the Washington, DC area so many years ago.  I've stuck with them - through thick and thin - in every occasion except when they have gone head-to-head with the Pittsburgh Steelers.  And last night all those years of support finally paid off.  In spades.  I'm a humble man, so I'll be sure to refrain from mentioning to Dabysan that it was his favorite team's vaunted defense that held Adrian Peterson to just a dozen yards, securing my long overdue championship.  A mere mention of such, especially as Daby lost the consolation game.... why that would be like adding insult to injury.  And yinz know I'd never stoop to that level.  Hail to the Redskins!  Hail Victory!
