Tom Boswell says it best:

At game’s end, Gibbs’s face was beaming with joy, a sight seldom seen for regular season games in his Hall of Fame heyday. Parcells seemed blanched as he walked toward midfield, while Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wandered around the field as if lost. Why, this was the night the Cowboys had devoted halftime to inducting Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith into their sacred Ring of Honor. How dare the Redskins spoil it?

Heh, heh.

Now all we need to do is get the team to change their name to something less objectionable. May I recommend The Washington Sous-Chefs? Humble but hard-working, that’s a sous-chef.

At any rate, the only downside of this remarkable and gratifying victory is that Mark Brunell will remain the starting quarterback for a while. I’m sure he’s a nice guy and all, and I’m not sure that Patrick Ramsey can even hold the clipboard without getting sacked by three or four opposing players, but Brunell is totally dunzo–he’s extremely old (I think he used to babysit Joe Gibbs) and has floppy noodle arms and legs. If he gets to hold the reins for a 4-7 stretch just because “he” beat Dallas (I’ll thank the defense for that, really, except for giving up a !$#@ flea-flicker, like this was Tecmo Bowl) I will be more than a bit perturbed. I hate 7-9 seasons helmed by washed-up QBs (see also: Jeff George, Danny Wuerffel, Heath Shuler).

But for today I will do my best just to be happy that the Redskins vanquished the hated Cowboys, in Dallas, with Parcells losing after holding a 13+ point fourth quarter lead for the first time in seventy-eight games. As the kids say, pwned.¹

¹Yep, I did just type that.
