    Are they going to change their name from Washington too since they dont practice, play or conduct business in Washington?

    How about the Landover Transients?

    You mean like Miami, Dallas, Buffalo, etc.? Can one of you parochial Baltimoreans explain why this is so important to you?

    Maybe we should change the name to Hey We Never Lost A Football Team. Maybe just the Prince George's Permanents for you.

    The team name should be the Lewinsky's because they suck and blow.

    Actually, Washington DID lose an NFL team once. But, you're on a roll. Continue.

    The Senators were in the APFL.

    You were the one who made the original claim. Search it yourself. Then if you still can't find it, I guess I might be able to help you. Hint for future claims: Never say never.

    It wasn't the NFL and it was 1921. I guess that's the same as 1983 for Baltimore.

    For once we agree. Of course there are rumors the Redskins left Washington, DC in 1997. I'm not sure if they are true though. Maybe you can help me out there?

    How can a Super Bowl winning team be overrated?

    I agree with you about the game though, no excuse got losing to that JV team and a cornball brother or his backup in Landover...even with all the injuries the Champs had at that point.

    Yes, congrats to Kirk Cousins and company on winning the Maryland State Championship on December 9 (Where does Snyder display that trophy? Next to his Offseason Lombardis?). They were the better team that day, the Ravens were the BEST team in January & February, I'll take a Super Bowl Championship in exchange for a 3-point OT loss in December any season. I'm sure 99.9% of NFL fans would agree with me about that.

    By the same token, I don't think Giants fans were bemoaning 2 losses to Landover last year while they celebrated a Super Bowl parade.

    Since they like 'Hogs' so much, call them the Washington Warthogs.

    Or, maybe the Washington Watchdogs.

    Or, better yet, where they don't have to change their mascot, the Washington Americans!

    Actually there was an indoor soccer team called the Washington Warthogs that played in the CISL for a couple of summers at the Capital Centre. Not as good as the Baltimore Blast.

    Why even call the team Washington? Why not call them the Maryland Blue Crabs (like the baseball team) or the Landover Lizards?

    Fill in the blank.

    The Baltimore Ravens play in Baltimore. The Washington Redskins play in _______________.

    What was your earlier question about never losing a team? When do you think Washington, DC will have an NFL team again? 2045?

    Fill in the blank. My ________ is so small, I care that there are football teams that play in the suburbs of their towns and this somehow matters to small brained small town yokels.

    Baltimore is about 4x as big as Arlington chump.

    Why you here again? Seems like you are the one with the identity problem.

    Personally, I prefer 'Team who thinks they are better in preseason than they really are only to leave its fans bitter and disappointed year after year'. Rolls right of the tongue, doesn't it?
