But if you're not making plays, you're not going to win games. That's his history. And a Pro Bowl season. So I guess you can line me up on Deion's side. Washington's business is politics, and the way it works is the winners stay, the losers have to go back home.
Every election night is the political equivalent of the Super Bowl.
Even more than sports, politics is all about W's and L's. That's what makes Washington one of the great front-runner towns. All you have to do is win, baby, and you'll have so many people hanging on you, you'll think you're a coat rack. The first time Deion returns an interception, a punt or a kickoff for a touchdown, he'll hear the cheers that became familiar in Atlanta, San Francisco and Dallas. He's been around enough places for enough years to know how it works.
