Wow, this is pathetic. I think I've just lost all respect for JLC. The funny thing is I think that certain fractions of the Post are encouraging this type of behavior. Hopefully someone will get through to JLC and the others (Cindy Boren) and help them realize that this isn't objective reporting. In fact it's downright bias. The only one that doesn't seem to have an axe to grind is Reid and honestly it's about time for JLC to move on.

Well they now have 3 guys on the beat and my guess is they are preparing a succession. Reid has hit the beat for a while now and Svrgula(sp?) has just been added so maybe the Post is hedging their bets.

Re: JLC vs. Cerrato takes a new twist?

Can someone tell me why JLC is calling the NFL in the first place. Is that his job? Is it his place to call the NFL? He'a a reporter. Right? His check isn't signed by the NFL. Why is he doing this? If this is true some needs to sit this guy down and remind him what his job is.

while i only know of this story from what ive read on this thread, it doesnt surprise me that a reporter would follow up and try to be the first to break a story. if the league was investigating it then JLC being the first to call and find out would make him the "reporter who brings you breaking news on the skins" . . but this sounds like the media trying to make a story for the sake on being able to say "were the first to bring you breaking news" . . . JLC trying to make a story out of nothing basically. he shots, he doesnt score.

i dont know what happened or why and honestly dont care to find out.

go skins!!

edit: just read smootsmacks post, now my original thought is just a tag on. thanks alot smootsmack! j/k

What's up with the Redskins media? Someone should do a story on analysts and bloggers who have personal issues with the team they report on!!!

Re: JLC vs. Cerrato takes a new twist?

The Redskins have practically told the local media to either "fuck off" or "pay us." I don't know why they would expect any sort of class from sports writers considering the fact that the Redskins organization hasn't shown any?

Make no mistake folks, the Redskins have intentionally made the jobs of sports writers covering the Redskins very difficult. They shouldn't expect any love in return. Bitch moves begets bitch moves.

I have no doubts about the fact that the Redskins are probably bitches when it comes to coverage of their team. You can see it in the Peter Angelos like move where Snyder hired Larry Michael and let Herzog go.

Still there're guys like Wise and Wilbon who cover the team objectively and don't take cheap shots, if anything I would hope they could be the model for writers who cover the team in the future.

And on that note why the hell would we want a beat writer thats intentionally trying to cost the Redskins draft picks?

Wilbon watches the game from the comfort of his couch and writes about it the next day, other guys like JLC make a living covering the Redskins. Two difference types of reporting if you ask me. Plus Wilbon is a national, I barely know who JLC is and I never really read what he writes.

As for JLC costing the Redskins draft pick, I don't know the whole story. What I do know is that the Redskins management should know the tampering rules. If we break the rules I have no problem with us losing draft picks and if we do lose draft picks the blame lies not with JLC but with Vinny and Snyder. I mean, if we're going to hold players accountable for their actions we should afford managment the same responsability oppertunities

Well I have a problem with it when a writer intentionally goes out of his way to fuck the Redskins in the ass. His problem with Vinny is his problem, but when you're trying to cost my team a draft pick or two. I have just have a problem with that. And calling up the NFL and mentioning this is doing just that. And I can't believe that wouldn't bother you. Especially, if we do end up losing a draft pick out of this.

I don't really care what JLC does and what he does shouldn't be relevant at all. I find the Redskins potentially putting themselves in a position to be at the mercy of a sports writer more bothersome.

Because you cannot control other people's actions, only your own. Acting in a mature and professional manner isn't something that should be contingent on the behavior of others. Only immature children use the "they started it" defense as an excuse for their own actions.

A Note from the Sports Editor - Redskins Insider

What the editor says, well JLC still snitched. Snitches get stitches...

Re: JLC vs. Cerrato takes a new twist?

What good purpose was there for calling the NFL with a question like that? If the NFL had decided it WAS tampering, we would have probably been fined and more importantly, LOST draft picks. Of course everybody would have been calling for Vinnys head then. Just like JLC would like. His personal vendetta has gone to far and he needs to be FIRED.

I am neither condoning or defending JLC's actions. It is what it is. Also, people are jumping into conclusions without knowing the full story.

That's true. However, JLC supposedly refused to comment on VC's accusation, saying that he needs to talk with his editors first. So, while we don't have the full story, it sounds like there is indeed something to what VC reported this morning.
