Root For Dallas?
I've never been able to watch more than 15 minutes of the movie Napoleon Dynamite so I never got as far as the Vote for Pedro scenes in the movie.

Washington Less Sloppy Than Chicago, Beat Bears 17-14

The Redskins will be closer to 4-4 by midpoint of the season than to six or seven wins.But hey, an eight win...
