ASHBURN, Va. -- The last time Washington played Dallas, Redskins rookie linebacker Su'a Cravens answered a call from his mom after the game. She had an unusual message considering her son’s employer.
"How 'bout them Cowboys!" she said.
He hung up. His mom called back.
"I’m just playing with you, I love you," she told him.
To which he said, "I love you, too."
And then he hung up on her again.
Such is the nature of their relationship: A mom who has remained devoted to the Cowboys and a son who plays for the Washington Redskins.
