Not to be a dick but I don't think this is applies to the skins. Chad Morton has no place on our team as of now.

Re: Patriots cut Morton
 

Because it hasn't been long since he was cut by the Redskins, and I'll admit that I am curious about how well some of our former Redskins are doing. Unfortunately for Chad Morton, I don't see him around the league too much longer. I think the injuries are getting the best of him now.

Matty, hope you don't mind but I took off the Patriots logo from your post. I felt kind of weird seeing that logo on our homepage.

Re: Patriots cut Morton
 

I wanted him to do well, i don't like this.......well i would like him to do better than other former redskins.

Not that i don't like pierce or smoot but i would really like it if they had worse years than last year so people would see that part of their success was just being on our D

Good call King. As usual on the money! Ha!

Re: Patriots cut Morton
 

Peter King is like the god of all sports writers, next time he has a chat or something where you can talk to him, I think somebody should shove it in his face. Maybe an email or something.

thanks for that post TAFKAS, i was just sitting here trying to remember who said morton was going to help a team win two games.

once again peter king shows his ignorance.:smashfrea

Re: Patriots cut Morton
 

Hahahaha......Peter King!

Ya know though...thinking about now, the Redskins have always had doubters in the media. I seemed to remember Jimmie "The Greek" not being too high on the Redskins. This, of course, was back in the 80's when the Skins we're a threat, year in and year out.

I think it was Paintrain who had initially posted this quote in a thread a while back, so props to him for originally bringing it to our attention

Re: Patriots cut Morton
 

I hope Morton can get himself healthy and playing. Though he may not have had the success he (and we) wanted here, I think he gave his all.

Re: Patriots cut Morton
 

We should create an archive section for all the top stupid quotes for the year and revisit them as the year progresses.

I would love to see how many writers do 180's without even mentioning that they blew it earlier.
