With Apologies To Percy Bysshe Shelley
I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: A vast and swolen head full of rocks
Stands on the sideline.
Steve Spurrier, a coach whose accomplishments at the collegiate level are reminiscent of Dennis Erickson and Rick Pitino, appears to be putting the kibosh on rumors that he may bolt the D.C. Metro Area for South Florida.
There, the clueless visage stands, whose frown,
And pursed lips, and sneer of disdain for a solid running game,
Tell that the cameraman well those passions read,
Which yet survive, stamped on this lifeless offense,
The hand that signaled the go route, and the heart that fed
This is a bad thing for Redskins fans. We know this because ESPN Sunday Night Football commentators Joe Theisman and Paul McGuire just said that Spurrier staying in Washington would be a good thing for the franchise.
And above the stadium entrance these words appear:
"I am Daniel Snyder, owner of owners:
look upon my works, ye Redskins fans, and despair."
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level off-season stretches far away.

On the day after one of the most horrific Viking losses I can remember, this reminds me that there are worse coaches and owners than anything associated with the Purple. Thank God I'm not a Redskin fan.
