PFT: LaCanfora to NFLN

Whoa whoa whoa! Wheres Schefter going? I mean if he's leaving I sure as hell had no idea what with NFL Network seemingly becoming NFL Films network during this point in the offseason.



That would be a step down for Wilbon going from co-host to correspondent. Especially when you go from ESPN to NFL Network. Not that NFLN is bad but consider the fact that virtually every cable provider carries ESPN.

Schefter is heading to ESPN. Which leaves them awfully crowded with Clayton, Mortensen, Michael Smith, and now him. Add Paolantonio and Werder and you've got a lot of competition.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I think JLC's opinions are generally on point. To imply that Vinny and Danny are egomaniac boobs isn't a grudge against the team, it is the truth. They are embarrassing, everyone in the league knows it, and it is not the Post's job to paint a sunny picture or make excuses for them. Vinny and Dan have a grudge against the Post because the Post doesn't "report" like the genius Larry Michael. I for one, am glad that the local print media isn't a lapdog for Daniel Snyder. He's an ass and the Post would have no credibility if they didn't occasionally point that out.

You almost made it!! JLC goes out of his way far more than occasionally. It's pretty clear he doesn't like them (Snyderatto). Possibly for good reason. Of course maybe they don't like him for good reason also. I am not sure who started the grudge match but it has clearly become one. Now with JLC losing his grasp on insider info through exclusion and an exodus of sources he has essentially become a commentator. And everyone knows the saying about opinions. He isn't a football guy...he even admits it. Often his football conclusions seemed skewed. He does use knowledgeable sources to provide him a football minded opinion but it seems he only uses them when he wants to make a point about something he perceives the FO did wrong. Rarely do you see him whip out a "league source" when he wants to give the far more occasional chest bump. He comes off to me as a guy fulfilling his own opinions with sources he knows will back him up. Not to say that he doesn't have opinions that are decently grounded but when ALL opinions seem of the negative variety then something is up.

i agree with that, and dude does go overboard. I'm just saying that the Wash Post is not Redskins.com. I would LOVE to know some of what has gone on behind the scenes between the Post and the Skins. Something definitely stinks, and has for some time!

Good Bye JLC. You were always the last one to break news anyway.

The best part about JLC is how he dresses at press conferences. Seriously, you all should see this guy...with his hat to the back, FUBU shirt, he looks like he would have been Jamie Kennedy's uncle in Malibu's Most Wanted

Do you think he will "bring the look" to NFLN?

fubu? seriously? wow.

I always got the feeling he's a super douche for some reason. Now maybe it was just the stench of poseur.

two things:

One: JLC let his ego get in the way and fueled a pissing contest. He managed to do this with two great mentors in his office; Boswell and Wilbon - both great writers who can get negative points about teams out with out making it personal.

Two: After reading the point his information was diminishing over the last two years, I think that says a good bit about our lockerroom. And as I thought about how many chances we have had over the past few years for lockerroom implosion (IMO fueled at least in part by JLC) we should be thankful for the character on the team right now. One of the real positives we lose sight of.
