woot

Think he was talkin' bout you JLa?

This team is in trouble. I realize that it is only one loss but with injuries , the schedule and the fact the that we were walked over yesterday...we need a saviour.

That is what I was supposed to be Jeff....

take the high road jason, don't bother yourself with snyder's baiting and control-the-message BS

Way to go, Jason! Keep up the fine work, Bro.

Jeff, there is only ONE THING this team "needs" ... and its more cowbell.

jasno kickin' it. F haters!

Hey Joe Gibbs. Thanks for the effort, I love you but its not working.

I'm beginning to think you are right Jeff.

Get em Jasno!! F the haters!

so true sween...

it couldn't hurt

Mr. Lanfora:
Please sir, a little more professionalism from you. The complaints about the complaints are tiresome. We all have lives to live too. Children, mortgages, car payments.

I'm so tired of journalists who get to tell everyone else how to run things complaining when the focus is turned on them.

I enjoy your work immensely and appreciate your efforts.

But if you don't like criticism, get out of journalism.

Sorry for coming across brusque; but it's warranted.

And yes, this is my real name. I wouldn't dream of criticizing you anonymously.

For the others, fire away.

Steven M. Galbraith

Saunders needs to get his arse out of the booth and onto the field.

I hate it when coordinators are up in the booth and then can't understand what happened on the field. This is not a video game. The coaches need to be on the field, with the players, feeling the flow of the game. Up in the booth he is completely out of touch with the game on the field and it shows (calling reverses; not knowing why Portis isn't in there). If he were on the field he could turn to his left and say "Portis, get the f--- out there."

Gibbs 2.0 is a lot like getting back together with that gal who walked out on you once before. Sure, she was fun again for awhile, but you just knew eventually that you would end up hating her again, just like the first time.

Yeah, Danny Partridge was at his finest in that GMike interview. What a pompous ass. I just can't tell you how much it pains me to even see his snot-nosed face, or hear that whiny voice. No kidding, it's so bad, people here in Scottsdale (yes, I am a transplanted fan) ask me all the time: "how could anyone like a team owned by Danny Shiest-er."

Anyway, hang in there Jason.

JJ, a FOURTY FOUR year old fan....

Steven,

I think you were my business professor in college. You were a D***

Let's all think good thoughts about Santana's groin during the bye...um,... Let's sleep on it before we...um, this really isn't sounding right. Get way better, way soon Santana. Otherwise it's **gasp** Receiver, The

I like it when my coordinators are actually given control of the units they were hired to run. Call me crazy.

Next year will be our year. I said it this whole off-season. During the draft and free agency we will address our D-line, get rid of the WR, and hopefully Campbell will be nice and well-rounded. This year is long from over but putting the WR in as a decoy sometimes will bode well for the completion ratio. Still, I am upset, just as all of us are. Hopefully ST will get 2 ints next game against Martz's cubs

After the bye, The Receiver can still sit on the bench, even if Moss is gimpy. Reche and ARE can run the routes. Moss can sit on the bench and help The Receiver write his resume.

JG2.0 is kinda like Britney Spears...only after 2 kids and 100 pounds heavier with a drug habit.

You keep thinking she can look hot again...but each week she just gets fatter and fatter.

Should we add "Mr. Lanfora" to Jason''s abundant list of nicknames?

"I think you were my business professor in college. You were a D***"

Sorry, unless someone has the guts to sign posts, I completely ignore attacks on me.

As any adult does.

Because not having the maturity to sign off on an ad hominem attack is the way children act.

SMG

Phew! I was beginning to think there were some machines out there that were going to go un-raged against.

Your last 3 paragraphs and aborted sentence aren't necessary.

JG2.0 gets 5 TCCLs from me for bringing Britney into the blog. I'm a huge fan of giving underexposed celebrities additional bandwidth. :-)

Grow up Jason and just report on the Redskins.

I posted this right at the end of the last thread, but my timing is about is good as wierd al's play calling, and this sums up my thoughts thru week 3, so here it is again:

I said it last week, and I'll say it again right now. Nobody in the nfl is as good as they were last week, and nobody is as bad as they were last week. Parity reigns supreme in the nfl. Anybody can beat anybody on any given sunday. We all knew the skins had issues, and 2 wins to start were great, but increased all of our expectations beyond what they should have been.
Before the miami game how many of us would have been stoked with a 2 and 1 start. I know I would have been. Still in too much pain from yesterday to be happy with it today, but this loss will hopefully eliminate some of the complacency that was shown in the second half.

this blog entry appears to have been cut off short or something at the end there.

and to whoever says al should be on the field instead of in the booth is 100% Correct. williams is on the field, saunders should be too. part of saunders is how he interacts with players in practice, but what good is it if he isnt there on gamedays to interact with them and show them some tough love

JG2.0 is like Chuck Norris. Everyone thinks your old and passed by but the fact is that you can still kick arse!

Grouchy Jason is back...

Well, at least they weren't "add homonym" attacks.

Da Truef,

You just got served by SMG

It's on!

"And since..."

WaPo editors: Pull the plug on this a$$hat!

Don't you dare compare JG2.0 to me son

Well, at least they weren't "add homonym" attacks.

Posted by: | September 24, 2007 04:40 PM

Or add hominey attacks too - they can get messy.

Maybe it was Smoot who was posting here about the hammy/hemmy issue.

Galbraith,

YOU ARE THE BIGGEST TOOL SHED LOSER THIS SIDE OF THE MISSISSIPPI!

JLA- keep up the great work, my man. People, like this douche Galbraith, forget that this is a blog, not a newspaper article.

ALL HAIL THE KIND DOUCHE GALBRAITH FOR BEING RETARDED!!!!!!!!!

It is you!!!! Sweet welcome to the blog.

Name: a word or a combination of words by which a person, place, or thing, a body or class, or any object of thought is designated, called, or known

That is my name. If you mean legal name well that is your hang up not mine.

Also responding to "attacks" by saying you won't dignify it with a response is indeed....a response.

or ad hemmy attacks

POT ROAST!

SMG just got owned. Nice work DA Truef. What do I care what you use. I don't know you either way.

Using your real name doesn't make you brave my man.

HAHAHA. IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Mr. "Canfora" upset you, Cork!

I hope you remember that I like the lid of my trash can placed on the ground next to the can, not directly inside of it.

Anything is better than another lame "Hemi Ad" from Chrysler Corp.

Meowww!!!

Just kiddin', Jasno.

Ignore those haters. I've been around other "fans" and I've never seen such a group lose it, when the local media doesn't write/report glowing stories about their team all the time. Wilbon used to get it also and had to (and still does) say "I am not a fan."

Why don't these same people ask why news journalists don't write positive stories about US Government officials regardless of the real situation ("Oh, I bet that reporter is a fan of Britan's Parliment and he's resentful and jealous of our country").

We live in an age prejudice society.

26 year old reporters.

35 year old owners.

21 year old interns.

I am 33 and say 'let the good times roll'. The younger the better.

If we only talked about stuff we know I could not post on this blog.

Sacre blu!!!!

What iz zees? I am no longer good enough for you? Ce la vi.....

Anything is better than another lame "Hemi Ad" from Chrysler Corp.

Posted by: | September 24, 2007 04:47 PM

Well, maybe not a J C Mellancamp Chevy ad, but eh.

seriously, how many of you guys actually read Jasno's print articles? Me thinks people base his professionalism on how often he updates his pro bono blog.

quit the personal attacks, love it or leave it. Extreme Skins is always there waiting for you.

panties

I swear, if I have to see that Mellencamp "This is our country" ad one more time, why....

I will put my printer in a garbage bag and throw it up in the air a few times.

AH HA! I finally found you, Galbraith. Care to explain that chat log the other afternoon! You didn't show up, but we'll catch you, Chester the Molester!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. 14-year old boys don't actually like Mike's Hard Lemonade, you sicko!!!!!

"Using your real name doesn't make you brave my man."

No, I agree. I never said anywhere that it did.

But I did say that NOT signing a name when personally attacking someone makes them childish. As in, not an adult.

And I mistakenly typed "Lafora" instead of La Canfora".

There, I'm big enough and adult enough to both admit my mistake and to sign my own name.

Doesn't make me brave; it makes me an adult.

SMG

Just wondering, is it still our country?

Tom Boswell wears Jason La Canfora pajamas to bed.

Dorf- We need some jm220 rage to come swinging the hammer through the blog.

thongs

sacre bleu! c'est la vie!

nom de guerre, you got 1 out of 3 correct.

ne pas tres bien.

SMG?? What is that? Some kind of tough guy signature?

HEY LOOK AT ME, IT'S SMG!!!!!!!!!

I would kick my own arse if I was you.

Dorf,

With all due respect, I'm tired of the "pro bono" excuse. If your department chair says, oh yeah Dorf, I want you to keep a blog for that class you are teaching, you do it.

And you assume that the blog is now an "added duty" that we all get from our bosses. Either you do it, and don't complain about it, or you start looking for a new job.

No?

Here we go again.....Do I have to come on here everytime you freaks get ready to jump off of a cliff!!! I swear, JLac and you other losers, next time I am letting you jump. Let's not get carried away. Who thought the Skins were going 16-0? That's what I thought? Back in August, who would have had a problem with the Skins being 2-1 going into the bye? That's what I thought. Yes, they blew the game, but that is how most losses occur in the NFL, people! Should it be excused, absolutely not. Everyone at Redskins Park should be held accountable for that deplorable second half, but why would you think this is the way the rest of the season will go? They played two good and half good games and a half of a bad one. I choose to believe they are the team we saw Monday night.

Now, there are problems. The Ladell Betts experiment needs to stop! No way in hell do you not have Clinton Portis on the field that last drive. Correct me if I am wrong, but the Redskins have exactly one running back who has a rushing td in every single game and he was on the frickin' sidelines? Joe Gibbs needs to fix this, he is directly responsible for that mess, my money says given two cracks at the goal line, Portis finds a way to get one of them in. Another problem is, the defense can't cover big receivers and big tight ends, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Dallas has the same type personnel as the Giants. Gregg needs to figure this out quick. Other than that, both the offense and the defense got their butts kicked in the second half. End of story people, the Skins still look like a playoff team, especially in the NFC.

hahaha Diddy! Yes, this is indeed our country.

I agree Dorf. But anyway what does anyone care what JLa personally feels anyway? Dude has an opinion like the rest of us.

You think he's an idiot? Great.

You think he's Norman Einstein that is great also.

There's the old standbye "job I get paid for" quote.

You know what, then stop doing the blog or stop complaining about not getting paid for it.

Every time someone takes you to task about something you write on this blog it's the same thing. Give it a rest already! You've done this for two years and people call you on it. Maybe for once, instead of calling people lunatics who disagree with you, you take a look in the mirror and say maybe they are right. Maybe I do have an axe to grind with the team and maybe I take that out on them whenever there is a chance.

Anyone who reads you, knows that to be true. Although the Washington Times loves you, b/c you single handedly increased their subsciption count.

Take a quick break from all the dull 'Skins talk. And, it is dull. The team lost. I swear, the way people go on and on and on it's a if they've never played sports or had a setback in life. People lose, teams lose, it's part of the circle of life. Hakuna Matata and all that. Mistakes were made, a game was lost. Nobody died (except maybe John from Herndon).

Get a grip folks.

One loss does not warrant "Fire them all!" just like one win does not warrant "Crown them!" How a man loses often tells you more about his character than how he wins.

And lest we forget, we are talking about a franchise that has done nothing for 16 years. They are the Arizona Cardinals of the east coast. That we even expect a win is something tantamount to a moral victory at this point.

"Care to explain that chat log the other afternoon! You didn't show up, but we'll catch you, Chester the Molester!!!!!!!!!!"

Chat log? I haven't been on a Post chat log since last year.

Let me repeat: I have no problem - NONE - with Jason criticizing the Redskins or anyone else. That's his job.

I do have a problem with him and other reporters who have a thin skin when the criticism is directed at them.

For some reasons reporters have the thinnest skin when it comes to criticism. They can critique others; but if other critique them, they get quite prickly.

Tough. If they wish to dish it out, they'll have to take it as well.

SMG

I also mispelled is and this as long as we're counting.

I have a feeling SMG is going to be a regular up here... give it time... He's rough around the edges, but he'll be BHGO like us in no time. He's the fall version of Jack.

plus, SMG reminds me of sub machine gun

I like it

Has anyone seen Nate in the PDX up here? We need some of Nate's positivity to right the ship.

I guess after the Boren Ultimatum, Moses may be taking a break.

It's funny I thought being responsible and accountable to those around you made you an adult. If I had known that sign your name did all that I'd have quit my job years ago.

SMG is right, of course. I have yet to meet a thick-skinned reporter. Jasno should be above the pettiness. Particularly for a guy who hasn't been 26 since 2000. High road, dude. Always take the high road.

No one with any intelligence would subscribe to the other paper in town solely because of LaCanfora. The Times is no bad, recyclers won't even take it.

SCskins fan,

I can't say... I'm not the WaPo. Cindy Boren doesn't seem to mind the way he runs the blog... In fact, she's more than happy to fill in a update it with guest blogs or whatever. All I know is that JLC doens't seem to sweat it and he's been doing for a year now and unless you write the editors or contact the powers that be, it seems to me that its set up to be a fun 'service to the public'.

The comparison doesn't exactly translate IMHO

Agree with Dorf...we should have no expectations at all about this blog.

Hanging out in a Starbucks in La Jolla, CA, and they're playing "Que Sera, Que Sera" on the in-store stereo. God, I love that song, but it's not the Doris Day version... No one here seems to know who sings it, either. Anyone know?

"I have a feeling SMG is going to be a regular up here... give it time"

No way, sports (the Skins) are a diversion.

I'm home with the flu and I do have a life to live.

Again, not to sound repetitive, the complaints from reporters (in all fields) when they are critiqued is silly. And Jason's kneejerk reaction when criticized is a prime example of it.

If the idea behind the First Amendment is to have a free and full exchange of ideas - good, bad and indifferent - then reporters should welcome criticism of their work.

I'm not attacking Jason personally. I'm attacking his professional work. I'm sure he's a fine guy, a great neighbor and all that. But his professional work needs some adjusting.

End of story (right).

SMG

Diddy- How about that? We're p*ssed off that we're 2-1. That in and of itself IS progress.

Now, if Apple and EMC had gone down today, I'd be really peeved...

P Diddy--You into the spirit of Hispanic Heritage Month yet? Cervezas? Margaritas? And Senoritas? The name of the game is to bury your tamale inside their tacos. Too bad it's only a month.

I have expectations...

They're low

at best

Can anyone give us more of the context in which the Danny remarked about a certain 26 yo know-nothing reporter? I am too lazy to watch the interview or read through a transcript.

pdiddy is right...what are you guys all upset about...im the one that lost their survivor pick over this game!!! lighten up...

J LaCantreporta:

Snyder mouthed off to George Michaels about the 26 year old reporter that doesn't know what he's talking about.

Does this mean everyone was right about the 30 something that bought and subsequently screwed up the Redskins?

"Just wondering, is it still our country?"

Posted by: P Diddy | September 24, 2007 04:51 PM

Not quite sure ... I mean, I tried to check the maps, but its not like I'm Iraqi or South African or something. It looks like some country, but I'm not quite sure where it is.

- U.S. Americans

SMG, a questionnaire:

1.) Are you a Republican?

2.) What is your vocation?

I'd be glad to provide you with my address, bank statement, and social security number to justify my existence. I can also list my favorite movies, if you'd like.

EMC just acquired Mozy. GREAT little company, love those guys. Nowhere near profitable, and very odd that they're based in Utah. But I love the service. EMC is very, very impressive with their latest rounds of acquisitions.

(Note: no relationship to EMC, just a shareholder.)

I'm 26.

Nothing to report from where I'm sitting.

Dorf,

I agree that this here little blog is a fluff piece for the WaPo, and I really have no idea why they run it in the first place. No one looks at the ads.

JLaC is just a bit cranky from the lack of sleep and all.

The SCSkinsFan abides.

>>> "- U.S. Americans"

This NEVER gets old. I could end up a middle-aged man with a huge paunch, no life, thrice divorced, moved back into my mother's basement, still rooting for the 'Skins, still wasting my days posting on this blog, but watching the video of Miss Teen SC will always, always, always cheer me up.

P Diddy,

I think you just described Jack.

I kid. I kid.

I must admit, I knew everything when I was 26. It's only old age that has made me forget stuff.

I'm not down with biting that hand that feeds ... my incessant need to hit the button to refresh ... down with Jasno-bashing. down with H-P Printers. up with maps. If The Owner WAS referring to Jasno as a 26 year old, down with ageism!

I love you guys.

what did I miss? Someone firing shots at JLC??? Why?

the Skins came out flat AGAIN in a game they should have won. Good teams win those games, we are not that team... yet.

And there's no doubt that no matter how poorly the 'Skins lose, we should all thank God that the Global Map Crisis has been abated.

Maps!

I don't know... I'm been contemplating botox as well as watching Chuck on NBC.

I can't speak for Jasno, but as I see things in my own life, sometimes things that start out fun turn into obligation and something you are maintaining for posterity. Email him. I can assume the RI is pretty low on his totem pole on the to-do list.

TDawg:
I don't understand the questions. What do they have to do with the Skins and Jason's coverage?

Reluctant to give out personal information of any type - other than my name - because there are crackpots out there. (there's an opening for my critics).

Present company excepted.

If you want any personal information from me, I'll provide offline.

Still don't know what the point is.

SMG

SCSkinsFan,
They run it for the number of website hits that the blog generates. The more people visiting the website itself the more money they can generate from advertisers. Honestly, JLC does have a following and the blog does generate a lot of hits, so if he's not getting paid for it that's his own fault, not ours.

Diddy the Skins are far from the Cardinals of the East Coast. It's been bad but it hasn't been that bad.

I have a baby, but I wouldn't use him as an excuse for being inconsistent at my job...if you didn't have time to criticize the team last Tuesday, couldn't you have done it on Wednesday? If you hate writing this blog so much, then don't do it, but really you come off like a teenager who just got dumped by his girlfriend and has a acute desire to bad-mouth her to anyone who will listen.

Many of us fans are in touch with reality...we don't need you to be so smarmy in pointing out the team's weaknesses.

Inigo, I can't believe you were able to summarize the previous three threads in so few words without even reading them!

[except the under-noticed part about the Harley Davidson Washington Redskin cheerleaders.]

SMG,
Just questions; but I understand and respect your privacy.

Just curious is all.

Is it any coincidence here on the Internets that MAPS spelled backwards is SPAM?

Adam NYC

Yeah, what Adam said!!

Now, everyone attack him (whew, I'll make my escape now and get some orange juice for this flu).

SMG

Forgot full disclosure from my 5:03. Just a shareholder of the stocks. Not affiliated with them in any way or recommending you buy them.

(unless you want to make money.)

Agreed, Dorf. Last I checked, there was no Pulitzer in the "Blog" category.

I am just wondering if Reid will get a chance to take over some of the load up here, or if this gig is a JLC exclusive.

Sub Machine Gun

I think you're being messed with.

I find it's best to just abide.

Inigo, I think people lack perspective. 1990 was a tough season with a growing QB (anyone remember that Colts game where Rypien threw an INT to lose it with no time on the clock? The playoff game against the Niners?)

It's a quarterback's League. You go as far as your QB will take you. (excepting, of course, the 2000 Ravens)

Right now, we have a young, inconsistent QB who can play brilliant at times and poorly at others. Patience, patience, patience...

SMG,
Your self righteous posting is a welcome diversion on this bleak Monday. Here's to your flu lasting all season!

How old is J3?

we are 2-1 and thats in the bank....my repeated theme is we will go as far as the offense will take us....JC still misses some easy stuff, and under pressure needs to make quicker decisions....our defense is good but not great ....great defenses can get after the qb....we can't ...we are solid and will stay in most every game...get used to yesterday....if we improve offensively over the course of the year we have a chance in the nfc...to improve we need a contribution from another wr and JC needs more developement....Win or lose you are watching the future so stay focused on that...and that in the end is what is different about this team from all the other teams over the last 15+yrs.

Oh my god! Galbraith IS a business professor??? I thought that was a joke!

http://www0.gsb.columbia.edu/whoswho/bio.cfm?id=55879&nav=n

Cindy said this weekend that J3 (Reid) will start blogging once he gets settled in his job.

Fan(atics) = "in touch with reality"?

May I suggest a course in logic?

"... Honestly, JLC does have a following and the blog does generate a lot of hits, so if he's not getting paid for it that's his own fault, not ours."

Posted by: TheGuru10 | September 24, 2007 05:12 PM

Without disagreeing about the JLC bit, I think the RI Blog Collective is a community itself (of which Jasno is a part) and itself has a following. Witness the self-referential existence of a blog about the blog.

In the words of Ms. Edna Krabappel, "c'mon people, this poetry isn't going to appreciate itself!"

TheGuru10,

Wow, I had no idea that I was making the WaPo money by constantly pressing F-5.

No wonder Cyndy has a posting like mad men up here.

It's all about the Dolla Bill!

"Just curious is all."

Okay, I'm a "swing" voter. I voted for Clinton twice, Gore once, Bush once, Reagan once, Dukakis.

I work for a scientific abstracts company that publishes (mostly online stuff nowadays) technical abstracts. We collect and index technical papers (about 26 different fields).

Yes, I sit behind a screen 10 hours a day editing documents. Very exciting.

Pays the bills. Good company and good people. Could be worse.

SMG

lighten up people...jlac is a busy person...2 young kids and the skins beat...both are 24x7...he has no obligation to post to us...

I'm glad you have time to worry about semantics...the point is you can still root for the Skins and realize the team's flaws at the same time.

"Michael: "GM: So you're saying that you give the fans MORE through your Internet and everything?"

DS: We give them unfiltered.

GM: What does that mean?

DS: Well it's not filtered by a 26-year old reporter that really doesn't know necessarily what's really going on. Doesn't necessarily meet with the coaches, the players, that doesn't have a clue but yet makes an opinion about a left tackle in comments that you say to yourself, 'You know, they obviously don't have a clue what's really going on.' So what we're delivering is the truth."

Bored and passing time before my flight this afternoon, and since I've reached the end of the Internets...here's a question for the hamsters:

"Favorite Super Bowl moment?" Doesn't have to be 'Skins related.

For me, it's "This one's for John!", Pat Bowlen accepting the Lombardi Trophy. I adored Elway (almost as much as I adore Favre) and was really pulling for the Broncos in that game.

Favorite 'Skins Super Bowl moment: Doug Williams accepting congratulations from his teammates upon learning he was named the MVP of the Super Bowl. I think I cried. I was 14 years old and knew even then how important that day was outside of sports. I make no apologies for saying that I would have cried that day even if I was 64.

The Redskins aren't controlling the message. They give you all the interviews unfiltered when the Media including the WashPo can only take 2 or 3 lines that they think works best with the story. I don't have a problem with anything of that nature.

Where the problem lies is when there is harsh criticism ala Steve Czaban. But, Steve might have been out of place. I to have been 'reprimanded' at my former job because I spoke up about inequities I saw and the head honchos told me I asked the questions in the wrong place at the wrong time. After reflecting on the situation, I agreed (somewhat) and realized I have to pick and choose my battles.

JLaC, you can't take on the owner, so be careful how you pick your battles. Both of you guys are right to a point, but you want to be the bigger person (no pun intended) in this situation. He was right that you (most writers) have never played football and that you don't know exactly what they are talking about all the time. You only go off of what your expert sources are telling you. Unnamed sources will be the death of us all..........

Gibbs needs to either turn it completely over to Saunders or cut him loose like Billick did with Fassel last year. I say let Saunders air the SJK'ing thing out. Especially with a depleted line that can adequately pass-block but can't zone-block on runs worth a damn.

But if you're going to play "Redskins" smashmouth football, do it, and do it consistently.

Anyone remember 2 seasons ago, home game (forgot against who), Redskins on the opposing 1-yard line, needing a TD. Handoff to who?......Sellers! Up the middle (fumbled after the play)...TD!

more commentary and full transcript can be found here http://blog.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2007/09/daniel_snyders_media_criticism.html

We are not the Cardinals East...

Cardinals won an average of 6 games a year last 15 years.

We won an average of 7 games a year last 15 years.

You can see we are a lot better

my favorite is "what we're delivering is the truth"...no, what you're delivering is overpriced beer, horrible parking, and a mediocre team with high expectations and a rabid fan base.

I abided in Scripps Ranch for 2 years.

true story.

Redskins*

Snyder said: "Well it's not filtered by a 26-year old reporter that really doesn't know necessarily what's really going on. Doesn't necessarily meet with the coaches, the players, that doesn't have a clue but yet makes an opinion about a left tackle in comments that you say to yourself, 'You know, they obviously don't have a clue what's really going on."

Take out the age and I think we all know who he's talking about.

SB XVII- Dick Enberg: "He's going to go all the way, unless Blackwood can catch him....". In the backround, very faint but audible, you can hear Frank Herzog from the next booth doing the radio call, yelling "HE'S GONE, HE'S GONE."

Chills everytime, man. Just chills.

nah, I'm at a Starbucks so no idea where, exactly, I am. Have to leave in an hour for the airport. I'm down here interviewing for a job. I adore San Diego, but my life is in Seattle now and for the forseeable future. These guys get that and are willing to work with me on it. There are worse things in life than living in (tax-free) WA State and commuting to (sunny, warm, bikini-filled) SoCal weekly.

Yeah, 16% better than the Cardinals.

>>> "You can see we are a lot better"

anonymous, I stand corrected :-)

If you adjust for the East Coast Sports Bias, then that 16% pretty much goes away and I'm still right :-)

Thanks. If you were here, I'd give you a big wet kiss.

SMG

I didnt think the "Q&A" with Ds was THAT bad, he doesnt like JLC. So what? He doesnt like the Post in general and he was right, everything is peaches and cream when you are winning. So start f-ing winning!!!!

What East Coast Bias???

diddy- no doubt about it. best of both worlds. sd is a great city, with tremendous talent but the cost of living is ridiculous. drove me outta town a few months ago.
i've only been to seattle for 1 day--the playoff game a couple years ago. i'd like to get back and check it out a lil more.

This is almost as bizarre as the pitcher a few years ago who went on the DL because his hotel pillow hurt his neck:

(that pitcher, whose name I forget and refuse to remember, was, naturally, on my fantasy team)

God I hate baseball.

The Dude: Oh, Jesus, what's that smell, man?

Auto Circus Cop: Yes, probably a vagrant slept in the car. Or maybe just used it as a toilet and moved on.

I spent the better part of the last 10 years hating Seattle. But as I get older, I realize that my friends here ARE my family...and the restaurants and bars (my two biggest passions in life) are much, much improved. I attribute my change of heart to old age. :-)

I'd actually say that food-wise, it's on par with DC (which is NO slouch in the restaurant department). Nowhere near NYC, SF, Chicago, or LA, but definitely in that second-tier of American cities.

Oh, and it's not the rain that kills you here, it's the darkness. In the winter, it doesn't get light out until 9am and it gets dark by 3:30pm. The rain is largely irrelevant, you just get used to it. Summers? Nowhere in this country is better than Seattle. Nowhere.

If you're ever in town, you know where to find me. As Nate will attest, I'm like a mini roving Chamber of Commerce for this town :-)

Should add Vegas to the list of top-tier food cities in America. The Wynn alone has 2 of my 10 favorites...

Bloomington, Indiana has the #4 ranked pizza place in the country, and another pizza place that won the best individual pizza award in 2001 (bacon, gorgonzola cheese, red potatoes, garlic, onions, and mozorella cheese).

Plus there is some fine BBQ 'round these parts.

He won't get his arse kicked growing up...

I know what you mean diddy. If you need food/bar advise in sd, you know where to find me.

Funny thing about pizza...everyone claims to have "The World's Best Pizza". And, I swear, I love all pizza (except the Oreo kind), and I would have no qualms dedicated my life to sampling pizza and determining it for myself. When God created man and woman, he also created pizza for the times when woman was off shopping and the man was home watching football. It's in the Bible, look it up.

Periculum?

Posted by: Inigo Montoya | September 24, 2007 05:24 PM

Biggest, happiest news of the day up here! Finally, something to smile about! Congrats to you, to your father, and to all the Montoyas!

Since Gibbs' return in 2004, the Skins have lost 10 games when leading at the half (they led in about 24 games). Several of which where they had a 7+ point lead. I don't know how that compares to other coaches, but that seems like a lot to me.

Dorf,

With all due respect, I'm tired of the "pro bono" excuse. If your department chair says, oh yeah Dorf, I want you to keep a blog for that class you are teaching, you do it.

And you assume that the blog is now an "added duty" that we all get from our bosses. Either you do it, and don't complain about it, or you start looking for a new job.

No?

-SFSkins...

Ummm... No, actually. I'm a teacher and with everything we're asked to do besides teach, we have to be very protective of our time. In most places, the teacher contract says that if you are asked to do an extra duty, you get paid to do it.

That's why I started refraining from bashing Jasno's blogging.

I have a serious issue with "what he gets paid to do" and how he does it. I teach journalism and, IMO, he has flirted with outright bias and some sketchy reporting. I think he relishes the idea that he's beyond the reach of the corporate elements ath the park, but I think he may push too far to the other extreme.

And as for sween, I feel your pain today, sinsei.

Weird, "the funniest thing about Pizza" comment was mine, not TDawg. Must have slipped on the typing. Sorry TDawg.

diddy, you end up in sd again, go to pizza port in carlsbad or solana beach. award winning beers and great pie.
adios blog. rollin to flaming lips concert.

Last one. (I hear the cheers now. He's finally done!). Bill O'Lielly's take on dining in Harlem. Speechless, for once in my life.

http://mediamatters.org/items/200709210007?f=h_latest

I should mention that we are all here at Jasno's and the post's (and Cyn Cyty's) pleasure and that this little thing we call ours is really a figment of our imaginations.

So I can IMO all I want and it really shouldn't make a bit of difference to a professional journalist.

And now I'm doing what i said I wouldn't... I'll stop now.

"ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson will miss at least one week with a partial tear of his left groin, an injury sustained in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 24-3 loss at Tampa Bay.

Rookie Brian Leonard, a second-round pick from Rutgers, will get his first start Sunday at Dallas. Coach Scott Linehan said Jackson would be week to week."

I do believe we have us a white runningback. Of course, I hope he fumbles five times.

not sure if this has been posted but ESPN did a story on the most hated owner, coaches, GMs, ect; and guess who made the list.

27. Daniel Snyder, Washington Redskins: The kid with the new toy from the start, Snyder has thrown gobs of cash around since the day he closed the $800 million purchase of the team and stadium in 1999. Like Peter Angelos' Orioles, though, Snyder's Redskins have suffered instead of benefiting from his largesse. That's what happens when you install puppets in your front office and make zillionaires out of past-prime veterans like Bruce Smith and Deion Sanders and natural disasters like Jeff George.

Ah, but who was #1?

Here's the link

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=keri/owners/070924&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab4pos1

Should be noted that nearly all rich people are at least a little bit crazy. And NFL owners, being among the most exclusive of clubs in the world, are indeed a crazy lot. Georgia Frontiere alone would occupy several chapters of any book written about crazy NFL owners. By most measures, "Mr." Snyder is less crazy, more megalomaniacal, and probably more reasonable than the multitude of his peers.

That said, while I can understand the NFL's desire to bring reporting in-house (faux journalism being all the rage among corporate America these days), I am fundamentally opposed to providing a disproportionate level of access to real journalists.

I am fundamentally opposed to providing a disproportionate level of access to real journalists.

Posted by: P Diddy | September 24, 2007 06:28 PM

Why?

Was it last week on MNF? They were saying that in 2006 the Skins gave up more 11+ point leads than any team in the modern era.

Knowing that, it would be nice to hear someone on the coaching staff come out and say it how it is.

A disgrace.

kost,

Yeah, but Dale Lindsay was obviously to blame for all that failure, right?

Damnit Teams should belong to the fans

Did any of you actually SEE the Snyder interview? While he did make that comment, he did not make it in an arrogant way....and he certainly did not name Jason. Also, there is a lot of truth to his comment....I've watched many shows where Redskins players or coaches are being interviewed and the reporters sticking microphones in their faces do look 26 - or even 19.

Simple. Because an organization reporting on itself only reports things favorable to the organization. Truth takes a backseat to marketing. While sports is hardly what I would consider an "important" issue (only in Green Bay do fans have a financial stake in the performance of the team, after all), it is nonetheless a principle I believe strongly in. We wouldn't tolerate it in government, we wouldn't tolerate it in public corporations, and we shouldn't tolerate it anywhere else either.

MSG, sorry SMG, has the potential to become my favorite hamster. Bring it, baby, you are one serious MoFo.

"We wouldn't tolerate it in government, we wouldn't tolerate it in public corporations, and we shouldn't tolerate it anywhere else either."

Including newspapers.

>>> "Including newspapers."

NO QUESTION. Always question what you're reading. If you're not, you're not paying attention.

I did see all of the Mighty Midgets interview. 7 minutes of my life I will never get back. He said nothing, George asked nothing. I did want to know how Danny reacted to George calling him "Dan" on several occassions.

My favortie SB memory? XXII. I was in college, watching the game in the basement of my dorm with about 80 people. I was one of maybe 5 skins fans, and boy was I hearing it at the end of the first quarter. ANd I had a huge smile on my face at the end of the 2nd. Of course, the room was almost empty....

It occured to me during 5th period economics that we're all missing the real reason we lost. It's the same reason gas prices are higher, Brittney chose to wear that spangled bikini at the VMAs, OJ figured he'd get away with it again, China is going to rule over us, Miss Teen SC identified the U.S. American map crisis, we have to suffer through another 482 days, $1 Canandian = $1 U.S. and of course polar bears are dying . . . .

Global Warming

Everytime I see "U.S. Americans" my entire body giggles with me. God that just makes me happy.

Does anyone have a link to the Snyder interview, I haven't seen it?

35332 - Over here, teams don't have owners. Each team has a President, CEO and a Board of Directors. If they aren't performing to a desired level, members (season ticket holders) can call a General Meeting and have them voted out. I guess it's a little closer to the system in Green Bay.

Diddy,

I'm not sure I understand. You're against teams giving one journalist more access than another to the team as a way of trying to buy better coverage? If that's what you're saying I agree completely.

It's the same reason why imbedding reporters with a military unit will almos always result in a favorable bias toward that unit. The imbeds won't be there long if they start telling the whole story.

That's one thing I respect about Jasno. He is definitely not a corporate guy. I do think that Jasno's a bit of a contrarian and has trouble accepting simple truths at face value. It's a trap that many journalists fall into. You can find an anonymos source that verify al,ost any position you want to take.

Like you say, though, this sports not Judy Miller revealing Plame's ID.

I've decided it's my go to reason for all things.

"I haven't finished grading your papers because of Global Warming."

"I can barely walk because even though I'm in some shape 90 minutes of soccah still whips my arse thanks to Global Warming."

"I have a weakness for Flamin' Hot Cheetos, it's really due to Global Warming."

"I'm really bad at math because of Global Warming."

"The Cowpukes are making Global Warming worse." hmmm that's an exception to the rule.

Hey Innigo - big congrats on the new baby! That is excellent news.

All right I gotta go expand my carbon footprint and drive home.

sfskin,

You a teacher? You should know better about that dept. chair blog comment.

SMACK - This is for you, vision isn't great, but the audio is marvellous!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bGv7ltJGPA

Buges on channel 4 re: goal-line... We love that play, we practice that play, that's a great play for us. We didn't block right either time. That will be fixed.

Quittin' time for me.

What happened to Nate. He hit and runned us. I feel so dirty.

www.creedthoughts.gov.www\creedthoughts

sfskin - I think it's naive to blame the result entirely on Global Warming. I think that what is just as important, is the fact that Nelson Mandela couldn't help out, because Mandela's dead.

Larry Bud - that wasn't me. Maybe SCSkins? I saw that and figured someone got it wrong as far as authorship.

Don't even get me started on job expectations for teachers and what we get paid for vs. what we don't.

I'm 26.

Nothing to report from where I'm sitting.

Posted by: Dorf | September 24, 2007 05:07 PM

See you got to live your prime years through my eyes as well, huh? (I'm 27)

IM - Congrats my man! Hope everything is well. So sween and IM had their babies. We are due in December. Who else was/is left before the SB?

SMG - Bringing the heat. Don't leave. I use to get banged up by the regulars and JLaC when I 1st started posting here regularly. I think it was because I didn't understand how a blog actually worked. But, I am now family. And I still call out JLaC as I see fit, such as this post......

kost - LMAO! How classic was that? Did someone correct him? What was his response?

Is it on YouTube?

I started my new job. I thought I would have to get rid of my moniker. But.....

At my new job, I work on the 4th Floor. So I don't have to change my name......

sfskin - I'm not sure what Dubya's response was, but I saw some footage of one of the reporters he was speaking to, and when Bush said it, you could tell from the reporter's face that he was thinking "Huh? Did he just say....??"

Haha Hilarious!

4th - I believe there is a little Nate due in November if I recall correctly.

Also hope new job is going okay.

Just read this blog from the begining of the comments. This joint is funny as SJK! Fo Real.....

Oh, how could I forget.......

Nate, its just me and you now, buddy. The baby is kicking like he wants to come out now!

Inigo - Congrats on the baby!!

4th - Congrats on the new job! Enjoying it?

I think Nate is due in the next month or two.

Here is the clip about Mandela. He's trying to make an analogy and no surprise it doesn't quite come out right.

1/20/09 - Independence Day

I'm sure most of you have already seen it but nfl.com stated that we've won (by default) the best looking throw-back uni contest :)

Depressingly true story:

After a hard day of FB, blog, work and personal life I drag my azz in the car to go home. Power up the Sirius listen to Howard Stern replay and avoid NFL channel like ecoli...

Guess what they were talking about:

Giants beat skins, Gibbs over the hill, fans in DC wanna run Gibbs out on the rail..

Great, where is anal ring toss when you need it!!!!!

sure is a bunch of teabaggin goin on around here

Miss Teen South Carolina is Bush's Illegitament Daughter!

Mandella is Dead! Saddam did it, even though he is dead!

Kost - I can't say if its going good or not. Its going, though. To be honest I didn't go on the # of interviews as I would have like because I wasn't in the mood to. But I will make the best out of this situation.....

I think this was a major slip of the tongue for George Bush. But not in the way you think. I think he accidentally showed what his intentions are once his term in the White House is over. He's going to run for Miss Teen South Carolina!

Ok, what is the problem with unfiltered interviews. Go look at the CP interview on redskins.com....

That's a 3 and 1/2 minute interview. When you read the paper, you'll see maybe 10 seconds worth. The team is letting you view every question asked and the answers. Who can beef about that?

4th, yeah, I suppose it take a little while to get a feel for a place before you can work out if you actually enjoy it or not.

Kost, they are one in the same! When have you seen Miss Teen SC and Bush in the same room at the same time? Ne-ver!

Hahaha That's a swimsuit contest I'm NOT looking forward to!

OK, maybe he made a mistake about Mandela. At least he knows what tribal sovereignty is.

Jason, keep giving us the straight dope bro.

an even better Bush moment:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDDT_QGZ5qk&NR=1

Reviewed the last couple of posts and threads, and -- if there are any lemmings left alive calmly gazing out over the Big Picture -- here's my two cent perspective:

1. The Skins are 2-1, which everyone would have taken in a heartbeat if offered prior to week one. Granted, we would assume the Skins lost in Philly. I don't disagree that how a team wins or loses doesn't effect things, but, at the end of the day, 2-1 and a bye week to heal and readjust is not a bad position to be in.

2. Furthermore, outside of the Colts and Patriots, no team and reasonable fan base expects a 16-0 season, or even 12-4. The Skins are what they are -- a young team with great talent that lacks experience and a recent winning tradition that inspires confidence and expectations. If RI Nation continues to insist on lurching wildly from one extreme to another after each week, pass me the Dramamine, please.

3. The only facet of this organization that DOES have a winning tradition is the coaching staff. It is absolutely fair to question them when something goes wrong, especially issues like time management, play selection, and personnel on the field. It is a specious argument to compare St. Joe's football credentials to Jasno's as some trump card why Jason should deign to ask the questions journalists are paid to ask. It's akin to not question Bush because he won re-election with more votes than any one in history because the journalist has never run for office and should defer to 54 million fellow Americans.

4. Jasno's supposed "attitude" was echoed today by none other than Bram Weinstein, the beat reporter for the Skins-funded XXX ESPN radio. He expressed surprise today that Gibbs "actually gave detailed answers" at his presser today vice the "usual fluff" and also said Gibbs was often "condescending" and thought the press corps didn't notice that he wasn't actually providing answers. The studio guys on the John Riggins' Show also blasted the staff for the debacle at the end of the game.

5. For Danny Snyder to bring up the age issue as a supposed reason why a journalist shouldn't be trusted is absolutely beyond the hypocritical pale. For him to then imply that only his controlled media tried to bring the "truth" to fans is similarly a mockery at best and ridiculous at worst. It's football, for God's sake, not national security. Snyder's shenanigans (and Bela-cheat's, for that matter) are insulting to a well educated fan base. Your methods and money have not consistently worked since you've been here, "Mister" Snyder. Playing the media card like some two-bit, scandal plagued politician will NOT hide this fact. If you spent as much time, money, and energy on containing your ego and finding a proper GM as you do playing fantasy football, sparring with the media, and threatening to send plasma TVs to players, perhaps the Skins would be further along.

6. The issue that undermines all others, to me, is this 7-headed Hydra of a staff that confuses itself and the players while failing to establish a consistent, clear team identity. The offense is so schizophrenic that it could take the field by itself and be shut down with an aggressive, phantom defense. Walk the talk, Joe.

7. All is not lost. Calm, calm -- everyone's calm but you. Keep that gaze firmly on that Big Picture landscape, my little lemmings. You can always still jump later. But, please, jump because you want to, not because some lunatic fringe sweeps you up and over.

Tell it Haiku.

HaikuMan is very good writer. Good points also.

If I die tomorrow, I'm sure all my fans here will be deeply saddened (I'll remember to tell my family to install metal detectors and bomb-sniffing dogs at my funeral just in case).

SMG

JLC... no worries buddy. Keep up the good work. Don't entertain the haters... and sometimes we just like to give you SJK b/c thats what we do...

As far as the redsksin go... I'm not feeling the potential so much anymore. And I really hate to say that. They ran the ball like weaklings... IF the O-Line doesn't step up immensely we are doomed AGAIN. Let's pray that Santana can be healthy and the O-Lin steps up... if they do that will likely open up many looks for Cooley... We need to cream the Lions!

Haiku,

Well done sir. Though I think the Hydra had 9 heads, did it not? though if you beleave Kevin Sorbos Hyrculese it had 3.

Kost, I remember watching that live. I have watched this clip about 1000 times. I love when he goes Dennis Bergkamp aughghhhhhhghghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Five straight wins on the bounce and I'm still 100 pts short of Oz Oranje though. I got 131 last week and my captain didn't even play (v. Persie). I love that EPL league.

Haikuman
you are now on ITA list you are
latest redskin blog post idiot to not get it? Talented? YOUNG? This team is OLD at both Tackles on offense and corner? The other corner is young but Sucks, 2 LBs are old,Safetys young and overrated, guards and center are AVG,D LINE Young and Old SUCK!

ITA
all KOOL-AIDE drinkers & DC SPINERS

This blog is for Redskin fan nation who are realists? all others proceed to Cartoon Network where your opinions & thoughts can be put to use?

35332: You may be right. Thought it was seven but could be nine. I could have used the kraken imagery as well, I suppose.

Mr. ITA -- I apologize for getting you all aroused with the phrase "kraken imagery" but I can assure you, it's not what you're hoping it was.

It's time for Gibbs to GO! His speed should be teaching his race car drivers to turn left.

If we are lucky maybe we can play in SB 2011 which is first one in Cowboys new stadium? Have the redskins hosted a SB in our Great history? Are the Cowboys more VALUABLE then our GREAT team even when we pay HIGHEST prices in league?

Redskins 2015: We are all fanatics, true. I only play the realist card when things get overly personalized and nasty. Kissinger is my hero.

Lisa, winning cures all. i rember boden(broncos owner) was the most hated owner in the league or at least in denver and after they won a couple of SBs everyone shut up.

No one is going to change danny not even the press. skins will win. sooner than later.

at least the skins don't have jerry jones as an owner who actually thinks he built that 3 SB team.

btw, i've done 180 (not the first time up here)...after hearing that Weird Al didn't know that Portis wasn't in the package/play he called.

also Riggo was not being overly critical of the coaching staff. he blamed most of it on execution and he even liked the end around. so that made me feel a bit better.

Haiku-Loogy

i agree jeff fisher! not the big chin dude!

Looking at the game that's on now, I don't feel so bad. The Saints look absolutely horrible. WTF happened to them?

Fisher just signed a multiyear extension.

we know NA...so was john gruden, bill bellychoke...

SMACK - I had an indifferent round, didn't get a score from Van Persie or Gilberto. Thought Viduka was still injured so traded him, then he plays and scores twice!! Luckily though, I had Fabregas as Captain!

LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO - if you didn't watch Miss Teen SC calls 911 you really have to it's pee in your pants funny.

BTW What exactly is a "spiner"?

think dumass meant spinner. spinning our poor play to make it seem good.

Brent Spiner played Lt Cmdr Data on Star Trek the Next Generation.

Is a "DC Spiner" somehow who is an android? There are plenty of pod people in DC no doubt but androids? Does this mean I'm an android? The Skins are androids? If they were wouldn't they be indestructible and therefore never lose?

How awesome would that play calling be?

St. Joe - "Number 1 engage. Make it so."

CP - "The plasma conductor has to hold one more play and that we can jump to warp speed." (He's obviously Jordi with the visor on his helmet.)

Soups - "Sir I think we can take on the Klingons if we use the photon array."

Hmmm who would be Counselor Troy? Her role was to always state the blatantly obvious.
When facing a hostile alien ship - "Captain I'm sensing danger."

Sheesh I totally just revealed myself as a TNG dork didn't I? Oh well.

Disappointed with the outcome of the game, but thankful that I was actually able to watch the 'Skins here in the 'Ville. Anyway, here's my take on the game.

CP & Betts should've had their number called more often.

Moss didn't take that last hit at the end of the game well at all. Maybe if his groin wasn't bothering him, he would've been able to make that one catch in the 4th quarter, but should of, would of, could of... you have to make those easy catches too man

ARE = H-E-A-R-T. Dude leaves it all out there.

The Receiver - Hey, at least you got some camera time on the sideline. How's that last album working out?

Cooley High - Did they leave you on an island blocking Strahan by yourself? Absolutely unreal.

Soupy... throw the dang ball dude! Stop being so hesitant and playing like a robot. PLAY the game and have FUN.

Maybe the D would be better off not getting any turnovers at all. They won the first two games that way. J/K. They made Ward & Shockey look like superstars. I had a bad feeling about that one.

Area 51, where are you? Left in Plax's wake?

Frosty Pro Bowl bound??? Keep it up Holmes.

That's all I can think of for right now.

Peace

P.S. Jasno, you don't babysit your own children.

dealer - wass this one of the 2 losses you had, when predicting us to go 14-2? Or do we now drop to 13-3. I think I can handle that still.

"I think there was some pressure," McIntosh said of the team trying to be 3-0 at the bye week. "Everybody was talking about trying to be 3-0, especially coming off an emotional win over Philadelphia.

Wow poor Tonk K and Wilbon...jut choked on MNF...did you see there stuck dumb looks...pretty funny, although I love those guys...

kost, no i hadn't. they were suppose to go 14 and Ohh and lose the last two to rest their starters. but yes, now we move down to 13-3.

Yeah, that was me trying to make the blog-department chair analogy earlier.

I guess it was misguided.

If the WaPo is making money off of us hamsters hitting F-5, JLC should get a cut of the pie. Then he would be a little more motivated to feed the hamsters.

There is a very negative lurker here...

2 days later and......

WHY WAS PORTIS NOT IN ON THE LAST 2 PLAYS OF THAT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Missed half time what happened?

I took my dog out for a walk and had one of those perfect moments. It's sundown so the twilight is falling and over Mt Sutro rises a big ole moon.

Beautiful gray blue sky, beautiful moon, soft evening air about 60 degrees. Everything sharp and clear in the air.

If there is a hereafter I would like it to be like this evening.

If I had KuMan's talent I'd compose some verse but I don't want to ruin it.

Nah, I'm just f*#kin' witcha! The team just sucks.

SCSkinsFan,
Its all good... I'm sure Jason is getting some compensation for BHGO up here. Maybe Cindy gives him a soccer (futbol) article to write as a secret alias...?

Anyone else start reading one of those giant "the world according to me" comments and immediately scroll down to the bottom to see who wrote it so you don't end up wasting your time with some idiot's rant? Haikuman, your dissertation was good and such, I'm just more used to the 17 syllables and such.

I keep thinking I dreamed that ....WHO DECIDED TO NOT PUT PORTIS IN??? WHO IS MAKING THE PLAY CALLING? IF IT IS INDEED SAUNDERS>>>TO HELL WITH HIM>>>PLEASE JOE TAKE OVER THE PLAY CALLING AND RUN THAT F&^KIN PIGSKIN!!!!

I don't think it's too big a deal, we should still come away with Home Field advantage.

But Dorf I don't know how to do anything less than 1700 syllables! : ( You are missing my pearls of wisd . . . . err nevermind scroll away.

I am of the persuasion to have it changed... The Washington Dorfs ya'll. Dorf Stadium (in DC!) But I digress...

As an older brother, I can relate to the satisfaction one gets from harassing people with little jabs and pokes. Makes you feel big until your little brother grows up and is twice your size and could kill you... but I digress.

Hey lookee it's the Saints! Glad to see them making it happen.

Thanks to all with well wishes... 4th I didnt know that you were expecting!!! I have been really behind on the RI nation, traveling for work, baby-having and the end of my quarter at work. Plus most of my free time has gone to watching the Skins in the past few weeks.

I know I've mentioned this before, but my wife and I had a daughter in 2005... right before the 5 game (6 including playoffs) winning streak. In fact the streak started here in STL, at a game I was at!!! Anyway, seems that we should have a bit of luck on our side with me having a boy this year and all. My wife got a picture of him in the nursery at night with his Redskins blanket instead of the standard issue blanket, its the funniest picture ever! Him sleeping with a bright B&G blanket next to like 10 other babies with pink and blue footprints on their white blankets. Anyway, I got a kick out of it.

P Diddy, I'm staying at the Wynn in Las Vegas in a few weeks, what restaurants did you enjoy there?

Interesting....on Redskins Radio today...when Bram was going on about CP not being in on the goal line series, Larry Michael said he thought CP was hurt and that was why he was not in the game. Very strange since no one has mentioned that. Bram even asked Larry about that - if that is the case, why has no one said anything? Larry did not elaborate and maybe he is just guessing but then again he is very tight with Cerrato.

Lisa - a bunch of us starting with dcsween were wondering if that was the reason he was on the sidelines.

But the question is did he take himself out or was he pulled? Not sure if the team will ever tell us. Remember Brunell and his shoulder.

Lisa, CP said he was fine at that point in the game in an interview on redskins.com

Absolute greatest NFL note of the weekend

CBS NFL insider Charley Casserly offered this gem on Sunday.

"Thursday night, a memo went out to all 32 teams which said, no longer will the cheerleaders be allowed to warm up in front of the visiting team locker room or do their stretching in front of the visiting team locker room or they can't go in the tunnel anymore. The reason - some players felt they were being a little distracted."

CP probably was going to let Betts have it.
Thinking it was a sure thing. Weeeell, I guess there is a problem with letting them make the call.

Seriously... anyone else think we need a do-over with our 1st pick in the 2005 draft
