Roll Call

I'm Ben. I write this thing from Charlottesville, and more of you show up every week. I love that. I also know almost nothing about any of you, except that we all have the same condition.

So tell me about you. Every question is optional: answer one, answer all of them, whatever you feel like. At the bottom you decide whether I can share any of it. The first choice, just for me, is already picked, and honestly, that's just as good. I'm not looking for content. I just want to know who's out here suffering with me.

Leave this field blank

Who are you?

What should I call you? Where are you reading from?

How did you end up a Commanders fan? Everyone has a story. Mine involves a CRT TV and a ditch.

Where do you watch the games?

On my couch, yelling at it At a bar, with strangers who become family by the fourth quarter In the stands, bless me With family, whether they like it or not On my phone, somewhere I'm not supposed to be I can't watch. I check the score and suffer.

Any game-day rituals or superstitions? No judgment. We're all doing something weird. Favorite player, past or present? The game you're still not over? Mine changes about once a week. That's how this is going. Anything you want me to write about?

Can I share any of this?

Just for you, Ben. Please don't share it. You can share it, but leave my name out You can share it with my name and where I'm from

Email (only if you'd like me to write back)

Only I see what you send. Nothing is saved unless you hit the button, and nothing goes on the site unless you said above that it can.
