I was talking with our office's resident Cowboy fan and he was as shocked as I am. We agreed it'd be pretty darn good for the rivalry, though.
The thing I'll be interested to see is how Gibbs handles the 21st-century NFL player. The Skins teams in the '80s were choirboys (Timmy Smith excepted) compared to nowadays. Granted, they liked to party, and the players were fixtures at local clubs and bars, but we never heard about Redskins players at double murders, blowing away their pregnant girlfriends, dealing drugs, beating the crap out of each other in practice, pulling Sharpies out of their socks, etc.
I guess having good guys like Art Monk, Monte Coleman, Darrell Green, etc., on the team helped keep some of the other guys straight.
DC is probably having a giant collective orgasm right now. It's hard for anybody who's never lived there to understand just how the Redskins and Gibbs are worshipped in that town. Sports up there is Redskins 24/7/365...the Crapitals and the Bullets--er, Wizards--are an afterthought. :)
