Sean Taylor doesn't want to be a skin? WTF?

Drkstar · 05-10-2004, 06:21 PM

sheesh, I did not think I would create such a stir.... MIA CULPA!

Brud, I hope you understand, I was just trying to be somewhat dramatic in making my point of King's credibility over some of the journalist wannabe's and arm chair GM's out there. But i have respect for all of your opinions collectively. Live and let live I say. Its good to see the blood flowing in here today. Beats the hell out of the "let me tell you why U of Miami atendee's (gotta be atendee cause nobody actually graduates from that college and plays football) are the best thing since the Four Horsemen" threads....

I mean it was only 2 sumemrs ago we had all those gator fans in here telling us how SS would master the NFL with Danny F'in Warfael(sp) at QB.... seems to me that they all ran the other way recently. I wonder why that is/was?!?

My point, after I have successfully pissed all the respected members of this board off, is that Peter King knows more then you. This is my opinion of course but then again, what the F do I know?!?

To be honest, notwithstanding the few immature posters that pass through, I'd put up the coverage and discussion you find here against just about any single sportswriter out there.

Right on with this one Phin. I will be the first to tell you that when it comes to the intricate parts of the game, I am still trying to learn about things such as the 4-6 defense, etc. If I ever have a question, people here can answer it clearly and right away. Not to mention anything Redskins they are right on top of. I can name about 20 people off this site who I think are better informed than most of the local media when it comes to Redskin's goings on!

Now I never thought Weurffell would be Sunny reincarnated, I did have faith in my boy Steve Spurrier. I still do. Anyone who regularly reads my rants will know that I'm a die hard Spurrier fan and I still think he could be a successfull coach in the NFL, just not in Washington. He learned that just because these are pro's don't give them an extra bit of anything. They have no self control or discipline, he needed to spend more time, and he needed to have some quicker passes/runs embedded in his game plan. With Greg Williams last year, we would have made or narrowly missed the playoffs, and things would be much different. I still think he's an excellent coach but like every other coach had trouble adjusting, unfortunately he might not get another chance.

Not to mention MEA CULPA rather than MIA CULPA.

Drkstar · 05-10-2004, 07:33 PM

dog pile on Drkstar! You guys are dyed in the wool, I will give you that.

I appreciate all the links in the news section. I am obviously not one who posts frequently and thanks for refreshing my memory as to why.

Peter King knows more then you Smoot because he is paid to. Its really simple bro. I have no more a fascination with his logic and opinions then you do of joe Crisp's. The difference to me is in the contacts. Say Joe, when is the last time you spoke to Drew Rosenhaus about Sean Taylor firing him? Or when is the last time you Smoot spoke with Taylor or is close friends as to his interest in playing in DC?

These questions are loaded I understand. But I will say that when it comes to reading pen and paper, I appreciate the amatures insight in here and I respect the opinions of the professionals more so. That includes by the way Lenny Pasta who I despise but completely respect from a knowledge base standpoint then anyone who posts to some fan discussion board. But that is of course, why we all continue to go back and read these journalists time and time again. Is it not?

And again, there is no right or wrong.... simply opinion. But apparently, you Smoot, have lost touch with that.

SmootSmack · 05-10-2004, 07:40 PM

Like Crisp, I and a few others on this board have a lot of contacts having worked in sports and media. But I'm not here to name drop. That's not what this site is about.

Drkstar, it's apparent that you don't post much because you seem incapable of having your own opinion or respecting anyone else's. You just like to drink the Peter King Kool-Aid.

Hold me back Matty!

That is as off base as I was calling folks nimwits earlier Smoot. If it makes you feel better bro, you win. You are right. I am wrong.

There, you feel better now. Do me a favor jackoff, go call your contacts and tell them how smart you are.

The whole reason I am under your skin there skippy is because I do have my own opinion which differs from yours. If I took the "warpath" kool aid you and I would be chummy but I challenge the board, its members and there opinions and I am a crazy asshole? Nah bro, just different.

Your flamethrower at me shows you are not about moderation but about making someone feel like an ass for not buying your story. Sad really.... cause folks around here respect you for it and even worse, because you feel its your duty... shame.

Peter King is paid to write stories that will help increase the sale of the publication he writes for. Sensationalism, whether true or not, sells.
Hell, it got you going...didn't it? I would not regard Peter King or any journalist as the top know it all. I disagree with most journalists anyway. I certainly would not say they know the most because of their contacts. Their contacts have to give them quotes based on fact before they mean anything. Did your great reporter Peter King interview Sean Taylor before he made his crazy comment? NO. This makes him a gossip reporter.
Was it not Peter King that was saying we would draft KWII? I guess he is not always right.
You said above, "And again, there is no right or wrong.... simply opinion. But apparently, you Smoot, have lost touch with that."
This is the reason why a lot of people on this board have piled on you. When you call someone a dimwit and put down where they are from, just because they have a different opinion. Then you proceed to castigate Smoot for doing it to you, makes you a hypocrite.

Man, what the hell is going on in here??

Clean it up boys.

redwagonskins · 05-10-2004, 08:30 PM

Gmanc711 · 05-10-2004, 08:37 PM

STOP THE MADNESS! THIS IS THE WARPATH, A HEAVENLY PLACE OF REDSKINS DISCUSSION! Should I hear one more negative comment, I'm gonna put a sentimental one month ban on all of you, that goes for you too Mattyk! haha jk

redwagonskins · 05-10-2004, 08:40 PM
