So instead of being depressed on Monday, I can now be depressed on Friday.

The emotion angle that the Redskins are reeling due to an emotional loss isn't working that well. Here are folks, talented indeed, who are scoring millions in compensation and living in excess to their wildest dreams. Guess what, folks all over are dealing with hardship, people dying, etc. and having to go to work and get on with their normal lives of scraping by to make a living after they've experienced tough losses as well. Yeah, a teammate died and that sucks. It particularly sucks for that teammate's family. But what about the fans who have lost family members, or their jobs or got mugged and no longer feel safe. Possibly these "emotionally challenged" football players can pitch in and have a group therapy session in their loaded Hummers or hire a team of therapists to soothe them full time and carry their jockstraps and they'll just pay for it with their "money to burn." It's tough that the guy died, but things are tough all over and particularly tough if you don't have a mansion and a safe filled with cash that prevents you from having to reenter the grind of life. Boo hoo, they lost a team member and only have a week to deal with it and have to play football. Boo hoo, I lost a friend who dedicated her life to working with kids at a hospital. Write a story about that.
