A group of protestors will rally in Green Bay Sunday as the Washington football team rolls into town to take on the Packers.

When last we spoke of the Redskins, it was intimated that this column may show up today, boldly predicting, perhaps even guaranteeing a Redskins win this Sunday. Now, why would we do that? Are we crazy? And isn’t using the term “we” getting awfully presumptuous? It’s not like DCist’s editors have signed off on some kind of crazy prediction plan.
