Other than the Dallas games, the other game I have circled on the schedule is the Dec. 7 matchup against Baltimore. 

You see I live in Baltimore, and I wear my Skins gear on a near daily basis just to tickle that famous Baltimore inferiority complex. 

I walked into a Baltimore watering hole wearing a Skins polo shirt and the bartender told me I was in enemy territory. I replied, "What is this  Dallas?"

In my interest of getting a cold beer and his interest of getting a good tip we moved the topic of conversation to the Terps.

Our battle against the Ravens has started a bit early. CBS Sportsline is hosting a Most Fierce NFL Mascot contest.  Chief Zee the NFC's 8th seed won the conference and his opponent from the AFC is #16 seed Poe from the Ravens. As of today Chief Zee trails Poe 57%-43%.  The voting ends July 8. So get to voting Go here to vote. Let's show cyberspace why we are the best fans in the NFL.

Chief Zee is not so much a mascot as he is an institution. He is also a major factor as to how I became a Redskin fan, but I will save that story for another day.

There have been reported problems of voting irregularities. Given that Baltimore is involved and from my experience as a resident of the city, I'm not surprised ;)  I kid, I kid.
