So the next time someone asks you where the Washington Redskins are, just smile and say, “They’re in the same place as your first love—long gone, but you still have the T-shirt.” Or, if you’re feeling cheeky, point at the NFL schedule and say, “They’re playing on Sunday, but under a name that sounds like a government job fair.”
Whatever you do, don’t Google it at the barbecue. You’ll only get a headache, and the burgers are getting cold. Just nod, take a bite, and remember: football teams change, but the heartbreak stays the same.
