"Has it really been 20 years since the Washington Redskins last played in the Super Bowl (and won, if memory serves)? Seems like 120. Seems like they must have worn leather helmets and operated out of the single wing, maybe even traveled to the game in Pullman cars. Are you sure Chip Lohmiller didn't dropkick?

I'm joking, of course. I remember it all. I remember it all because it was clear, as the weeks whizzed joyously by, that it was a special season, even by Joe Gibbs' standards. An NFL titleand a run at a perfect record — they got as far as 11-0 — in the same year? If you don't think that's hard, just ask the Green Bay Packers."
