I'm rooting for the Vikes, whom we can beat. I doubt we can win vs. Seattle: Russell Wilson is an unstoppable force. Ice water runs in his veins... Obviously, I don't like the team name, which is why I use *s when referring to Washington, D.C.'s football team. Interestingly, the D.C. mayor says she won't subsidize a new stadium in the District unless the owner changes the name of the team to something less offensive.
