I can’t let the Redskins’ glorious demolishing of the hated Cowboys last night fade away without linking to a story about my new favorite basketball player, Darrell Armstrong. Behold:
The Redskins wrapped up a 35-7 victory over the Cowboys shortly before the Mavericks left the locker room to play the Timberwolves.
As part of the pregame ceremonies, guard Devin Harris wished the crowd a happy holiday. Then Armstrong, who wasn’t scheduled to speak, asked for the microphone. He added his holiday wishes, then made his fine-inducing proclamation, a twist on a famous line by former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson.
In Dallas (Mr. Armstrong plays for the Dallas Mavericks), he exclaimed “How ’bout those Redskins!” Mr. Armstrong is my new hero.
He’s on a roll – good football team – and his nascar driver won the Cup this year.
