   Yes as a Metro DC resident I am still upset that the Washington Redskins play out in Maryland... I have long sought to bring them back to DC- perhaps not at RFK but a new stadium...

    Today we have GREAT news... The Washington Redskins - with their owner Dan Snyder taking a back seat has allowed for the new GM- Allen to bring in Donovan McNabb for literally PEANUTS... This is a superb pick-up for the Washington Redskins.

     This quarterback pick-up including the new coach - Mike Shanahan is prepping the Redskins for one of their best runs in recent football seasons!! I am proud to be a Redskins fan today!!

    Over the years I have heard that "All Realtors are the Same"... Many times when first meeting with prospective buyers or sellers I get the sense that they view me as a "commodity"...
