Yep -- I'm a big fan of those guys. I encourage everybody to listen online to their "Sports Fix" show. Weekdays 11-2. Great show.

haha when I left I think they just came back from HFS and took Howard Sterns spot. So I think it was them or Elliot and I can only take his laugh for so long. There was another show I think was fairly new but I cannot remember who it was. 2 dudes and a girl that was ok.

But back to your normally scheduled program...

I too have noticed a little hypocrisy on the media's part. After years of being the Offseason Champs, this season we made a lot of smart, sensible, financially wise moves to rebuild the core of the football team. We didn't go for flash, we went from hard workers who were going to come in a work their asses off to netter the football team.

But all I hear anyone talking about is 1.) how John Beck might be our quarterback (and I've already expressed how I feel about the media blasting a guy for wanting a job), and 2.) how we resigned Santana Moss, signed Stallworth and traded for Gaffney.

There's no mention of how many other guys we signed under age thirty. Despite all reports that Trent has like much improved in camp and is in shape, all I hear is about how much of a question mark he is and how bad he was and how we made no moves to improve our offensive line (wrong), and how we didn't find enough weapons (wrong) and we're still adding 4-3 personnel to our 3-4 defense (wrong) and how we haven't done enough to improve, and why didn't we go out and spend money to get better guys.

Spend money, get criticized. Don't spend money, get criticized. Might as well get used to it.

And how do you know all this?

the media was all love for us for that brief 6-2 run (or something like that) we had with zorns first year.

I don't think it is hate. Or Hatte.
When you suck as long as we have (1992) and your owner (Danny) used to love seeing himself on TV as much as he used to, it is deserved criticism. Not hate.
We Redskins fans are quick to laugh at the perennially awful teams like Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit (no longer bad), St. Louis (also no longer terrible), etc. Guess what....we are part of that list until we can be a consistent playoff team.
You want the shit talk to stop.....start winning.
We have been embarrassingly bad at times in the last three years and when Spurrier was here. Add in all the embarrassing Snyderatto moments and it is safe to say we earned the shit talk.
Winning cures everything.
Plus..who really cares what others have to say about us.
Let's take care of our own business and punch some people in the mouth on the field this coming season.
HTTR!

What have the Redskins done since 2007 on the field that deserves praise? I'm sorry but we need to stop getting defensive over everyone that says anything bad about our team. The ONLY thing recently done by the Skins worthy of praise is how they've placed some emphasis on building in the trenches and through the draft. Going for semi-sexy moves but not the all out big splashes at this point in time.

To me JLC is the only one who deserves to be in this thread because some of the stuff he reports on NFLN just seems flat out false (still likes to refer to Snyder as the primary decision maker in football decisions). Other then that we deserve to get roasted in the media until we turn things around on the field. Trust me if I could somehow convince you or hypnotize you that the Skins were another NFC East team you would be all over how bad they were going to be.

Actually, it's more like "Be a mediocre team that has a history of bad personnel decisions and get criticized until you start winning."

Whatever you do SS, don't put him down as arrogant.

Instead, just catch the mist, catch the myth, catch the mystery, catch the drift.
