Darrell Green is a Republican?

How can anyone live in Washington, DC, and not love the Washington Redskins? More than that, who can live here and not love Darrell Green? One of the most beloved of all Redskins, Darrell Green burst onto the scene when as a rookie, he hauled Tony Dorsett of the Cowboys down on Monday Night Football.

Looks like he's about to join another team, but not one that I can say ranks high in my book. Darrell Green is being wooed by the Republicans to run for the state Senate from Loundon County. The vote won't be until 2007, plenty of time for Redskins die-hards to decide if they want to vote for one of our favorite Redskins of all-time, or vote against yet another Republican who's main interest isn't in line with what's best for America.

Regardless, I wish him the best, as long as it doesn't compromise the American standard of freedom being breached by Republicans all over the country.
