Washington Redskin talks about Obama

[Elwood P Dowd]

http://myespn.go.com/blogs/nflnation/0-2-179/A-conversation-with-Chris-Samuels.html

<snip>

Several of the linemen read tight end Chris Cooley's blog all the time, mostly out of fear that they might be mentioned. Samuels said he's heard The Cooley Zone blog is "hilarious," but he prefers reading about politics right now.

Samuels, who grew up in Mobile, Ala., likes making the trip to Selma for the annual Bridge Crossing Jubilee, which commemorates the Voting Rights march from Selma to Montgomery. He said he met Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton the last time he attended the event.

He also met former President Bill Clinton at the Washington premier of "Remember the Titans" during his rookie season in 2000.

"President Clinton walked up to me and said, 'Chris, I'm so glad you're here.' He had watched me play at Alabama because we played Arkansas every year."

He said he's voting for Obama because he thinks the Democratic presidential nominee will look out for the less fortunate.

"I grew up poor in Alabama so I know what it's like to struggle. Now that I have some wealth, it's very important that I use it as a tool to help people."

1. Good man. I suddenly feel compelled to cheer for the Washington Redskins.

:)

[endthewar]

2. Get on the bandwagon now!

We're 4-1 and going straight to the Superbowl!

*Disclaimer: I'm a lifelong Redskins fan, so don't blame me for any betting losses. :rofl:

8. JC has finally arrived.

Zorn plays to win. Look at the 4th down plays against New Orleans and Philly.

[endthewar]

13. I like Zorn's aggressiveness

Plus Clinton Portis seems unstoppable right now. I'm looking forward to some Giants' payback in November. :patriot:

[Elwood P Dowd]

15. I haven't been to a Redskins game since 1971 when I lived there

but I still pull for 'em. The first Giants game was a disaster for the offense, but that was like years ago compared to the past 4 games.

[DarthDem]

25. Shoutout to Clinton Portis!

I've had him on my fantasy team (dynasty, where you can keep guys from year to year) his whole career. Love the kid.

[Cha]

4. I'm there,

too.

[MadBadger]

3. Those are ma Skins...and I dont care about all of you, but Im gonna root for them against Pittsburgh

Thats the game where if they lose their last home game before the election, we win...or so legend says.

[endthewar]

16. NOOO!!!!

Hehe, I actually wasn't aware of this legend. Is this really true? Unfortunately, I'm still going to cheer for my 'Skins. I live in Boston and we won the World Series in spite of The Curse, so I don't believe in these kinds of things. :hi:

[MadBadger]

19. Apparently if the skins win their last home game before the election, the incumbent party stays.

But Im gonna change that to say it only applies to old white male candidates!

[endthewar]

21. Hehe. That change works for me!

[msallied]

5. Hey, if the Redskins win their home game before the election, the Democrat wins!

Or something like that... lol

[MadBadger]

6. Its the opposite way

But if any year, those trends will be broken, its this one. I'm gonna pretend that only counts for the usual white candidates.

HAIL TO THE REDSKINS

[rufus dog]

9. It is the opposite

Didn't work for Kerry though, the hex is broken.

7. LOL about Chris Cooley's blog

:rofl:

[Elwood P Dowd]

11. Coooooooooley got in a bit of trouble

showing his junk on his blog.

[PBS Poll-435]

14. Yep

Eek, a Penis!

[endthewar]

17. Behave!

LOL! I thought you had a link to the Cooley picture on there. :rofl:

[PBS Poll-435]

20. I am behaving!

And that picture probably doesn't do justice to the Clenis V2.008.

[kwolf68]

10. No to the Skins...Bears all the way

But kudos to Chris Samuals...an awesome lineman...it seems we only hear about Curt Schilling, people who are actively right-wing.

Glad to see someone proud to be voting Dem...

Speaking of the Bears....Obama is from our town so there. :)

[MadBadger]

12. 3>1

And when he becomes President...we get to keep him

:P

[TooRaLoo]

18. "Now that I have some wealth, it's very important that I use it as a tool to help people."

THAT is a real man.

[sfam]

22. Um, I actually like his LT play more...but then again...

I'm a diehard Redskins fan. Samuels isn't playing hurt so far this year - he's rawking!!!

[Stephist]

23. Just Remember George Allen Was The Coach of the Redskins...

And look what his sperm turned into. Just sayin;-)

24. Withdrawing/Deposits

In the current "bank" crisis, why can't I make a really good joke about this?

:dunce:
