PFT: LaCanfora to NFLN

ProFootballTalk.com - NFLN Adds Another Insider (http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/05/28/nfln-adds-another-insider/)

I assume, but cannot confirm, that he is leaving the WaPo.

Either way, since his declining amount of sources within Redskins Park became obvious, this was inevitable.

Great! Now he can criticize the Redskins on NFLN! Glad he's leaving the washington post.....his act was getting real old on RI.

Good riddance.

JLC may be sports writer, but his constant vendetta against the skins had long since grown tiresome. As a result, he lost all his "inside" sources and RedskinsInsider hasn't provided us with a sliver of inside information in a long time. Perhaps now, the Washington Post can actually get some legitimate sources and provide Inside information now - instead of just regurgitating other sources.

Hopefully Jason Reid won't follow in JLC's footsteps and give us accurate and honest information without letting it get personal.

Love it. Absolutely could not stand that hack.

Im shocked the NFLN wants him. :laughing2

This is outstanding news. I guess the RI job will be Jason Reid's??

Good riddance.

I was going to say the same exact thing, just in about 120 less words. :)

I always find I'm taking up for JLC. The Skins seem like a tough team to cover & he did a great job of getting info to us. True, this last year he didn't have the sources to break the stories, but that essentially is saying that at one time he did & the team adjusted to make sure things stayed in-house more.

Please at least distinguish between his opinion - the purpose of the blog - and his professional work as a reporter. I will agree that his opinion of the team soured more & more w/time & that showed through in his writing on the blog, but bottom line he still got a lot of stories to us before anyone else did.

I have a question for the warpath; do you want a reporter to do a GREAT job & constantly fill the RI w/info - good or bad, or would you rather have a reporter that just does his basic duties, gets a couple of quotes & doesn't ruffle any feathers?

This isn't definite, but good, cause he isn't good here, and probably will be fired there after his first year there, getting little to none info from around the league

How can I possibly express my feelings? How about.....LaCanfora's biased view of the Redskins makes me wanna :vomit:
