Redskins Fans Disappointed Again

Buffalo Wild Wings, on the University of Tennessee strip, had some disappointed Redskins fans Sunday night when the Dallas Cowboys defeated Washington 27-10.

The fans started the game off with a salute to "Hail to the Redskins." The bar was filled with maroon and gold by 8:15 p.m.

Tommy Cureton, a graduate student at UT and a Redskins fan, disappointingly said, "The Redskins' offense is running horizontal, and they need to run vertical."

Cureton also said Mark Burnell, the Redskins' quarterback, had a lot to do with the outcome of the game.

Clinton Portis, a running back for Washington, did not play Sunday because of a shoulder injury. When asked if Portis will play in the game next week against the Houston Texans, Cureton said, "He'll play." The Texans and the Redskins have lost their last two games.

Terrell Owens, wide receiver for Dallas, is out for the next two to four weeks with a broken finger he suffered in Sunday night's game.

Nice quotes katherine. I dont know if it's necessary to put "disappointingly" before said. Maybe say that the fan was disappointed and then quote what he said. Good story.
