Gotcha. So it's a combination of a bit of poor journalism ethics by some local folks and some thin skin from the, um, Skins.
Am I understanding you correctly that you guys (the local media I mean) felt you were being intentionally bypassed by your sources so they could give the first dibs on leads/stories to the national guys (presumably to gain more favor on the national media stage)?
Yup, that's pretty much it

Schefter, though still technically employed by NFLN, will be moving to ESPN after his contract expires in August.

schefter is usually the first person with some breaking news. he's got pretty good sources and sometimes is in direct contact with players.

I didn't mind JLC. Sure maybe he poured it on VC and the gang sometimes, but hey he's got a blog. Blogs are for giving some inside info and some opinions too right? Plus VC and DS haven't exactly deserved a kings treatment. Last time i checked they haven't been an organization that's finely tuned. They do stupid s*** all the time. He also gave them props when deserved.

I always thought that as well but part of me can't help but wonder if the reason he did so well at NFLN was because he was at NFLN. Can anyone tell me what he was like when he was the Bronco's beat reporter?

Since we're bumping old threads these days...
JLC's replacement is leaving, sort of...Jason Reid will stay with the WaPo but leave the Redskins beat

That's good, he offered little as the Redskins "insider".
