Does the Post's Jason La Canfora Hate the Skins?

a) Most of the gripes expressed here come from comments posted on the Redskins Insider blog, which is where I believe he has more latitude to express his own point of view.

b) The Skins deserve to be criticized when they do dumb stuff and they do dumb stuff a lot. I love the Skins, but I do get sick of people in this town that see them as incapable of doing anything stupid or wrong. It's refreshing to me have a somewhat critical eye cast upon them and that view expressed in the local media.

c) Again, I love Gibbs, but it was a bad move by him to go after JLC at a presser. It is actions like this that reinforce the Skins as being vindictive.

Good post RYF. But I agree with those who've noticed a nasty tone lately, and no doubt, Gibbs personal call-out didn't help. JLac obviously has a number of "NFL sources" who give him a very different line from what the skins say (didn't he cover the Ravens?). So he says they need a real LG, he gets smacked, then they DO get an LG, and Gibbs says "were just making the team stronger, no big deal, yatta, yatta." So there's obviously animosity. But I don't think it's Sally Jenkins type negligence--JLac works hard and his blog is generally very good, and one of the best sources of skins info, IMO.
