The opposite of "making the playoffs"

What's that you ask, dear reader? "What is the opposite of making the playoffs?" I will tell you: the opposite of "making the playoffs" is losing to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Seriously. The effing Bengals. The Redskins just lost to a team led by a quarterback from Harvard.

First the Commodores epic collapse after beginning the season 5-0, and now the Redskins virtually assured of a January spent playing pinochle. And September seemed so promising! The football gods are truly cruel and merciless.

Anyway, I'll see you all later. I'm off to commit hara kiri.

I'm pretty sure this is the worst possible time to be a Washington sports fan. The Nats and O's both DFLed, the 'Skins are collapsing, the Wizards started 1-12 or something equally absurd... shit, D.C. United didn't even make the playoffs, and everyone makes the playoffs in MLS. And you just know the Caps are going to start sucking again soon.

When you're left with "at least Virginia Tech won the ACC," that's a bad sports year.

DFLed? Care to expand?

Don't worry too much about the 'Skins. I'm a Vikings fan. That's like the equivalent of being a Cubs fan, only "Wrigley Field" and "day-time baseball" are replaced with "the love boat" and "Randy Moss running over a traffic cop".

I'm starting to get my hopes up again. I know better, but it's... just... so... tempting...

DFL = Dead F*cking Last. Not "Democratic-Farmer-Labor," Minnesota boy.

Hey, some of us still know how to run a Democratic party.
