I think what you're trying to say is that the originals who gave  
Washington's pro football team did not mean to be insulting!  You see 100  
years ago (and I'm not saying Washigton got the "Redskins" then!) it was  
perfectly okay to call a black man a nigger, a coon, or a gollywog.   
Because of the type of society that existed back then there was little  
blacks could do about this situation.  The Indians also have been victims  
of this kind of racism.  The term "redskin" IS A DEROGATORY TERM!  It is  
as much a derogatory term as the term "cracker", or "honky".  Now, if you  
do not believe it is derogatory then you should do research on the topic  
(this is not a joke!) so that you could see for yourself that what I say  
is true.  Opon realisation that this is not a desirable term, the correct  
thing to do is to change the name.  The Indians certainly deserved as much  
respect as I get and cedrtainly as much as you get.

> i suppose you don't like the Braves or the Chiefs either right?

THe song is certainly and honorable song but you agin are missing the  
point.  The point is that "redskin" is a racial slur, PERIOD.
I personally don't see anything wrong with the name CHIEFS, or the name  
INDIANS.  I similarly don't see anything wrong with the VIKINGS either.  
None of these names are racial slurs, however, I do see something wrong  
with doing the tomahawk chop at football games.  Seeing that the tomhawk  
is a religious symbol I liken it to the crowd making the sign of the cross   
everytime a touchdown is scored.  Now I have no problems with individuals  
players thanking there diety for whatever achievements they make, but I'm  
sure you can see that it would not be accepted if people went to a SAINTS'  
game with huge foam crosses and went about swinging it around and making  
signs of the cross without the meaning behind it attached in anyway.

Well, the way I see it is that we have 6 games left.  We've already lost to
3 of these teams.  Philly & New Orleans we haven't lost to yet, but we
could easily lose to them.  And the Raiders can be tough sometimes.  So
we have a good chance of losing any particular game for the rest of the
season.  Cumulatively, we shouldn't lose all of them, however.  If we can
win versus Philly, Phoenix & NO. I think we can make the playoffs.
We would give a loss to NO & Philly, two of our main rivals for a Wild Card
spot & have the advantage in the tiebreaker versus them.  We'd lose a
tiebreaker to the Giants.  Any other team in the NFC that would want to
challenge us for a Wild Card spot would have to post a 5-1 record for the
rest of the season & then they'd have to win the tiebreaker.  So we'd make
the playoffs & by then would have a number of key players back (maybe even
Green).  This is just one scenario, but it's certainly possible, though
not a given.

  I wonder.  Running Backs and Receivers are usually the skill positions that
  once the decline in the player begins it tends to accelerate rapidly, a la
  Gary Clark this season.  Gary has clearly lost a step.  So has Ernest Byner.
  I don't think either of them are goimg to be *the* major contributers at 
  their positions next season and their replacements (Ervins & Howard) haven't
  yet shown that they can meet the standards of every Sunday players.  Plus,
  lets face it;  Rypien is a one-dimensional QB: strong arm but a mediocre
  improvisor in the open field, good at reading defenses (usually) but not
  a very good short yardage touch passer.  Add to Rypien's shortcomings an
  offensive line with three above 30 starters at the beginning of the season,
  and an injury-prone guy and I just can't be hopeful for a quick turnabout,
  but we'll see. 

  OB-Speculation:  Rypien might not even make the team next season or he
  might go to Cinncinati in return for Boomer Esiason.  The Bengals have
  Klinger in waiting and have NO chance of making the playoffs in the next
  two years.

They have, perhaps, the least mobile offensive line in the NFC East. Cunningham
has little confidence in them and their play recently reflects that.  You 
haven't watched their last three games have you?

We had all the glory last year when we won the Super Bowl with one of
the greatest team in the history of NFL.  The Redskins had an extraordinary
good luck to have a healthy team throughout the 1991-92 season.

Unfortunately, the Redskins are paying their dues this year with an

There is still some chance that we can get most of injured players back

What about the prices? I'd be interested to find someplace which was
affordable and didn't offer insultingly small portions.

I tried Le Rivage (1000 Water Street, SW) the other night. Good food,
fair prices, fine service. Entrees ran $13-$18, appetizers about $3-6.
Unfortunately, wines were $20 and up, and the Benedictine clocked in
at $6 each!  I'd go back, but skip the alcohol :-)

I'd *never* return to La Brasserie (about 2nd and Mass Ave, NE) --
even with a discount coupon, we paid about $50 each (*sans* alcohol)
and were ready to head over to Cafe Berlin (across the street) for a
*real* meal -- the tiniest portions I've ever seen: entrees the size
of most place's appetizers. Bleh!

The restaurants I've been to in Paris were affordable, had excellent
service, were *not* pretentious, and had portions you could live off.
Of course the food was fine. From whence did this nonsense of American
pseudo-French restaurants come?

There is a great little French restaurant in Crystal City, at the corner of
23rd St and Eads, called Chez Froggy.  It is small, short on atmosphere, but
not nearly as pretentious as other French places I have been.  The service has

I don't remember if the original post had restrictions on location for the
restaurant but are a few that I've been to.

Le Gaulois in Alexandria on either King or Duke Street.  There was a
writeup for it last year in the Washingtonian which encouraged me to go
and try the Pot au feu which is one of my favorites.  It was an all around
great meal and I am definitely going to return there once the ocassion
arises.  If I recall correctly, I think dinner was around $30/person and
well worth it.

Another nice place with a pretty good atmosphere is the Bistro
Francais on M St. and 24th.  Again, it's been a while but I had a steak
salad that was  very tasty and something chocolate for desert.  I think I
got out of there for about $25/person.

Finally, I recently went to brunch at Normandie Farms on Falls Road in
Potomac and I had a really nice Country French buffet.  There was a
HUGE layout of different foods.  Pretty much anything you could possibly
name was out on the tables and always kept fresh.  It was $17.95 a 
person and the atmosphere was very friendly.  I highly recommend it.

Hope these helped.

You may want to try Nick's Supermarket in Clinton, Maryland.  (Old Branch 
Avenue).  They have good meat at very good prices - their weekly specials 
frequently include New York Strip or Filet Mignon for under $3.00 per pound.  
You have to buy the whole piece - about 7 - 12 pounds, but they will cut it 
into steaks for you.

Rick -

I shop at the Dutch Country Farmer's Market, at the intersection of
Routes 29 and 198 in Burtonsville.  They're only open Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday, but well worth the trip.  Beiler's Meats, located inside,
is always stocked with fresh steaks, chops, legs, roasts, and quite a
few varieties of fresh sausage (including a pretty darn good bockwurst)
at reasonable prices.  Just around the corner is a stand selling whole
or half roast chickens.

I'd be really surprised if the Eastern Market, with all its various butcher
shops, doesn't have some great sausage. It's at somewhere around 7th and 
Pennsylvania Avenue in DC NE?
