Here's a cool story for the Wk 1 thread:
So I'm home alone tonight, as my wife took the kids to her parents house. I'm watching an NFL Network show on the 1982 Redskins. As a kid, I lived in the DC area from 1981-1983.
Well, one of my best memories as a kid was the Redskins using my school's athletic fields as a practice facility during the '82 lockout. I watched them practice outside my school's windows, and met a whole bunch of them and got autographs after school. But memories was all I had.
And then watching this show tonight, suddenly there was news footage of the '82 lockout, and there were the Redskins at my school's athletic fields! And there were a couple of kids in the background who I knew, who I haven't seen in 32 years -- but still as the same 12-year olds they were in '82! Just insane. i rewound it 10x. What a blast from the past!
