Blog Report: Snyder, The Post, and The Times. A Love Triangle begins.

[CNYSkinFan]

I just put another mini article on the blog.

You can read the report HERE (http://www.hailredskins.com/blog/index.php?p=49)

And discuss it in this thread.

Good stuff. Favor good journalism over "homer" scribes. I'm a 'Skins fan for life, just gimme the news straight!

Nunyo's on the outside looking in and I could care less. His accuracy is marginal and who knows what we could've gotten for Coles if he hadn't "broken" the story> As I fan, that matters to me mor ethan know what idiot Coles feels. Sometimes, discretion is the better part of valor. Plus, there's something about burning your bridges that just isn't very smart.

Didn't Nunyo "break" that CB was likely going to pick us or the Broncos on "Monday at the latest"? That was like 10 days before he actually signed.

No, I don't care for Nunyo. And with Sally Jenkins taking her predictable pot shots at the team, the Post is not providing balanced coverage. The Post should can Sally "I really live in Manhattan" Jenkins and Nunyo Demasio and get another beat reporter before the pendulum swings too far the other way.

I can't defend Sally, she is horrible so I won't even try.

However Nunyo has been pretty good. You can't blame Nunyo for CB. That was all CB setting timelines and breaking them.

His accuracy has to be viewed in terms of the Times accuracy which is HORRIBLE. They postulated the Moss for Lavar trade. They ran with the Rolle signing. They are just not that reliable either.

NUnyo did come on HR recently too so that makes him not too bad of a guy.

He's been making the rounds. Could be damage control. I'm not defending the Times, I'm just saying that it would be best for the Post to try and repair the replationship with the Redskins. A good start would be to swap out that reporter.

As for the accuracy, I expect the Post to get the accurate stuff first -- they've been first in line for years. The Times has been one the outside for years and are relegated to "parrot" reporting and running shotgun blast stories. If the Post doesn't do something quick, the polarity on the local newspapers regarding Redskin reporting might be reversed by kickoff 2005.

Besides, isn't it obvious? Danny is a marketing genius. He doesn't want journalism with integrity, he's looking for a media outlet.

If he headn't broken the story, Coles woudl have likely been released for nothing. The story is waht caused the stir and only after the story appeared did Gibbs seem to back away from a release.

You think? How do we know that Gibbs actually said what LC was implying. LC isn't very credible, IMO.

Gibbs hasn't really denied anything and Snyder's comments to the Times seemed to indicate that he did threaten Coles in the fashion Coles suggested. Frankly, I liked that. I'd have threatened Coles, too.

I agree, it sounds like Danny threatened Coles, which I think was exactly the right thing to do to a guy who was bascially stealing from him. But I thought Gibbs had said that he a LC has an understanding to try an move him, but not that the understanding was for him to be released outright.

That makes me like Snyder more. The fact that he was willing to take the hard line and say something as comical as that is hilarious.
