Good update. I have been entirely out of the loop on all sports over the past week and a half, but after Christmas makes sense with everything else Gibbs has going on right now. My gut still says nothing happens

My source ALSO told me that Joe Gibbs and Darrell Green have had dinner a couple of times in the past two weeks but it was NOT clear to my source whether Green was an emissary of Danny Boy or if this was just a coach and one of his top-shelf players just maintaining their relationship

Wouldn't read too much into this. Gibbs' Youth for Tomorrow foundation has had some major events recently and he and DG frequently speak about their youth oriented foundations so it's probably all related to that, I suspect very little football was discussed.

If these "conversations" don't amount to a hill of beans, there will be no stories in the mass media about the "failure to reach an agreement here". On the other hand, my source tells me that if this all works out and Gibbs comes back to the Skins, it will be a headline story on ESPN for at least 3 days. I'm not quite sure what that means exactly, but my source is adamant on that point... And I am acutely aware of how much Danny Boy loves to have a postive story related to him and/or the Skins dominate ESPN coverage ...

Even ESPN doesn't have enough channels to cover all the news that didn't happen. And yeah I would also guarantee it would be headline news for ESPN if it did
Stay tuned. Same time next month... Same Bat Channel...[/QUOTE]
