Whats it like?

As I watched today's Superbowl and continued to watch as the Giants were presented with the Lombardy Trophy it got me thinking......

Whats it like to actually see your team win a SuperBowl?

 I have no idea what the feeling is like.  The Redskins have won 3 Superbowl championships and made 5 trips to the Superbowl.  They won the Superbowl in 82', 87', and 91'.  Of course my age for each Superbowl was - 82': -5, 87': 7 months old, 91': 4 years old give or take. 

So, as you can see, I've been alive during some of their winning, but I wasn't old enough for any of it to matter and don't remember anything from 1991.  All I've endured my whole football watching life is ridicule because of how bad the Redskins have been.  I've seen only 2 trips to the playoffs in 2005, and 2007.  I didn't start really paying attention to football until 2001, I believe.  So, all I've had is garbage awful teams year in, year out.  With everyone ragging on my team with annoying as F#%k nicknames.  All I've gotten for my loyalty is 2 playoff trips, 1-2 record in those 2 playoff trips, a favorite player dead (Sean Taylor #21), and lots of grief from people just proclaiming they suck. 

I honestly have no idea how I'd react if they won a Superbowl in my lifetime.  I really don't.  Those so much pent up feeling of losing and something will go bad as the norm it almost doesn't even seem possible. 

I honestly just want to be able to share a Superbowl win with my Dad during both of our lifetimes, Together.

I also wouldn't be surprised if I cried.
