You Knew It Was Coming...Peter King Hating

[S.Taylor36]

You gotta hate this man. He will find every which way to hate on the Redskins.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

That's high comedy..especially the part about Roy Williams..seems like with our small receivers we had lots of trouble against him last year didn't we??
And how can he state that Moss, Lloyd and Randle El are the same kind of receiver? Does he know what he is talking about? (NO!)
And so the trade of the year is losing your best receiver (and only offensive threat) for a 3rd pick this year and a 4th next? Excellent!! Especially considering that they had signed him to a first-round tender..great job!!

[HAWGZHEAD]

Hey, maybe it's a good idea to get a taller, more physical receiver to play against some of the moose we have at safety in this division, like Dallas' Roy Williams?Or we could just keep getting receivers that blow by him like he was nailed to the ground like Moss.

[redskin_rich]

This just confirms that the Skins made some good moves. Excellent!

[dallasadmin]

I wish I didn't bother reading that tripe, what a moron. :Padawan:

[HAWGZHEAD]

This just confirms that the Skins made some good moves. Excellent!:lol1:

[CNYSkinFan]

I'm not saying you have to have receivers of different sizes and shapes, but with the exception of speed, the Redskins, over the last 12 months, have dealt for two receivers (Moss, Lloyd) and signed two others who all fit the same profile. Wouldn't someone on the staff there say, Hey, maybe it's a good idea to get a taller, more physical receiver to play against some of the moose we have at safety in this division, like Dallas' Roy Williams?


Allright it is official, this guy is an idiot. Tall slow receivers will get eaten up by Roy Williams. That is what Roy Williams wants, a big moose lumbering over the middle so he can set them up for a cheap helmet to helmet hit or something like that.

You beat Roy williams with speed. Did he even watch the first Dallas game? And if you go over the middle you do it with a TE who can take the hits and hold onto the ball or possibly shed Roy off.

What a ****censored by Spence****

[Sean Taylor is God]

He is right to question the intelligence of getting 4 very similar receivers. However, I would bet my life on the fact that Gibbs is much smarter than the "FATMAN" and has a much better idea of what the needs are of the Skins. Pete King is an obese, useless human being who has an ability to write but not an ability to comprehend.

[S.Taylor36]

This just confirms that the Skins made some good moves. Excellent!

That was my thought after. At first I was pissed, then I remembered who was writing this junk. I didn't know size and weight made you the same player. It is often people compare Moss and Randel El as the same type of receiver. GREAT MOVES BY THE REDSKINS!!!!! Peter King approved.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

What a ****censored by Spence****

Don't forget..he predicted Danny Wuerffel would have 3000+ yards and that Plummer would be the league MVP...and now that Chester Taylor is going to be better than James...

[smoak]

Given that Peter Queen questions our moves, I feel much better about them now. The man is about as smart as a dead rock.

[Axegrinder]

What he fails to realize is that we have guys who can catch the short stuff and gain yards after the catch[YAC].
We can stretch the field on any given play,and then toss the underneath stuff
to our quick and speedy receivers.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Given that Peter Queen questions our moves, I feel much better about them now. The man is about as smart as a dead rock.

That's insulting for dead rocks.

[HAWGZHEAD]

That's insulting for dead rocks.Zing, lol.

[NCskinsfanatic]

Peter king is the King alright, of the "haters ball" that is:rolleyes: ....hate, hate, hate, hate!

[S.Taylor36]

If I were the Redskins front office, I would consult Peter King before every move. If he hates it, you make that deal!

[bantu]

I wish I didn't bother reading that tripe, what a moron. :Padawan:

LOL... I felt the same way. What a douche bag. All of these guys are good football players, so what does it matter that they all have speed?? I guess the Rams' greatest show on turf had a variety of recievers right?? Wrong.

Hmmmm. I wonder if we had 4 guys that could rush the passer really well that would be stupid too?? I mean, we have too much of a good thing, OH NO!!!! Please, Peter, help us.

[HAWGZHEAD]

Peter king is the King alright, of the "haters ball" that is:rolleyes: ....hate, hate, hate, hate!Where is LadyNRed when you need a good photoshop done? :)

[Sean Taylor is God]

My only concern is having a good redzone target, but Llyod looked pretty good near the endzone last year and cooley is perfect in the 20's, we should starta No Pete King's club. I know a guy named pete king so we could get him to join. then wehen the fat pete king wants to join we just tell him we already have a pete king. the plus about my friend pete is that he leaves enough room for other people to enter the meeting.

[HAWGZHEAD]

My only concern is having a good redzone target, but Llyod looked pretty good near the endzone last year Yeah I believe Lloyd to be the guy that we can throw it up in the corner for him to go get. Him or Cooley really.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

I wonder what King thinks of this trio of wide receivers:

Harrison 6-0 175pds.
Wayne 6-0 198pds.
Stokley 5-11 197pds.

Or this duo:

Holt 6-0 190pds.
Bruce 6-0 188pds.

It sure is impossible to have a good passing game with similar receivers huh?

[whistleandthumb]

Just for those keeping score:


Gibbs - 3 Super Bowl rings
King - 3 Empty cases of Crisco

[S.Taylor36]

I wish you could forward that to Fatass right now. You left out Kevin Curtis too for the Rams at 5-11 186pds.

[wewantdallas]

Ha! Beautiful!!

[B'More Skinsfan]

King is thinking The skins lose MNF game if you take away the two deep bombs.

BTW I'm pretty sure he was the same bozo that said if you take away Portis'run in the TB game 2 years ago, his stats weren't that great. What a MORON!

[SkinsASchamps]

Excellent work. With kings logic... we should never copy the success we had with moss. We shouldnt go after guys that work. This league is going to be full of short fast WR. With the new rules for DBs it makes the small quick guy very valuable and Gibbs sees this very well. King is not worth the time.

[MWballer]

Wouldn't someone on the staff there say, Hey, maybe it's a good idea to get a taller, more physical receiver to play against some of the moose we have at safety in this division, like Dallas' Roy Williams?


So I guess our WR can't just run past the slower Williams. I guess our faster WR wont make room for our Pro Bowl RB.

Remember everyone Speed Kills!

[SpicyMcHaggis]

I wish you could forward that to Fatass right now. You left out Kevin Curtis too for the Rams at 5-11 186pds.

Yeah I thought about him right after I submitted the post...
I'd be useless to forward it...King doesn't base his statements on facts..he just praises the teams he likes (Giants, Dallas), and criticizes the ones he doesn't (us, thankfully)...the only thing I hope is that the Skins fan who read him realize how incompetent he is and don't get too upset...

[Spence]

Here's the deal. The Redskins have decided they don't want their receivers to do battle with Roy Williams, they want their receivers to run past Roy Williams en route to the end zone. [Please refer to Washington @ Dallas, Monday night, September 2005.]

Secondly, the Redskins believe that the new rules against defensive backs contacting receivers makes faster and quicker wideouts more valuable, as opposed to bigger wideouts with less speed.

I would submit that it is, perhaps, Peter King who is officially out of his mind, but I'm not prepared to admit that he ever had one in the first place.

[The Skinsinator]

BS. Complete moron. That Roy Williams comment really ticked me off. Maybe if Roy didn't have his tail between his legs watching Santana burn him all day he could have a point. Now we have more weapons to burn him. Roy can hit but can't cover. Idiot. I despise him now more than Pasta.

[LATrueRedskin]

This just confirms that the Skins made some good moves. Excellent!

This also confirms that I have the qualifications to write at Sports Illustrated. That's always comforting to know. :) A good confidence builder.

[vbskins]

I dont really have anything bad to say about PK normally. I dont care if he does not like the Skins. But those few lines just blew me away. I did not realize that someone could fish so hard to make a hateful point. He really must have some personal vendetta against Danny Boy.

PK is not a stupid person, because stupid people just do not get to the position in their line of work like he has by being stupid. But those comments are just stupid. Stupid, incorrect, and strictly opinion.

Wait I just saw Moss run by Williams again!!

PK is way off thinking Gibbs is making personel decisions based on who Dallas has in its secondary.

Wait I just saw Moss run by Williams again!! Well obviously that derelict did not. I am sick of reading the media's ignorant crap on our beloved team. King has a personal vendetta with this franchise and I have no respect for his work.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v642/dadssportsroom/peterking.jpg


d**khead?....

This is the same man who guaranteed that the Redskins would have T.O....he makes things up constantly and he is basically describing the 'Skins of 3 years ago as his basis for making ridiculous comments...here is a newsflash for the media: THE SKINS WENT TO THE PLAYOFFS, WON A GAME, AND LOST TO THE TEAM THAT ACTUALLY WENT TO THE SUPER BOWL...people like King act like this past season never happened...you know what, though...i guess all this hate is good because all the 'Skins will do is sneak up and run the NFC....:)

[oldskinfan]

So Peter, I guess the Patriots don't know football either cuz their receivers are like
Branch 5' 9" 193 lbs
Givens 6' 0' 215
Brown 5' 10" 196
T. Dwigth 5' 8" 180
B. Johnson 5' 11" 200

Are you possibly suggesting the Skins need a solid, dependable receiver?
Maybe about 6' 3", 210lbs....catches everything, works hard, blocks downfield, catches TDs.....someone maybe like.....ART MONK!!!!!

#%$#%$#%$%!!!@^^#$@ idiot!!!

No kidding.

[flave1969]

Peter King is a lazy hack.

Fact. This is now an Al Saunders run Offense. Saunders fielded a high powered Offense that outside Eddie Kennison featured receivers all under 6 feet.

Fact. The primary receiver over the middle was Tony Gonzalez his Tight End, for Gonzalez read Chris Cooley.

Fact. Chiefs Running Backs combined for over 254 receptions in the last three years. Expect Portis, Betts and Cartwright to see extra work in this Offense.

If this was the Gibbs offense then I would say get a bigger receiver but this is not that Offense, anyone can see that if they bother to do basic research.

Why would you want to allow a hitter like Williams do his thing when he cant cover a bed with a blanket, and speed guys regularly go past him. If I have guys like Sellers, Fauria and Cooley all in the 260 pound range I think i would prefer them to take on Williams. In fact after seeing what Sellers do to Dawkins last year I say bring it on.


King manages to exceed himself again in his lazy writing.

Thank you.

[smoak]

Yeah I believe Lloyd to be the guy that we can throw it up in the corner for him to go get. Him or Cooley really.

Did you guys see some of the things Moss as able to do down near the goalline? The "no catch" (dang refs) against Seattl was an absolute beauty!

[RedskinRyan]

that was a ridiculous article. yeah we beat dallas with santana blazing past roy, but we need a physical receiver to beat him? and he loves the draft picks the 49ers got. i would almost guarantee you they'll blow the picks, or that neither of them will make the impact that lloyd does for us.

[RedskinsATW!]

UNBELIEVABLE. And THIS guy votes for HoF nominees.

I read this column too and was utterly shocked. He blasts the Redskins for having an anemic offense in the playoffs and when they go out and get guys in free agency, he criticizes every move because they're not tall enough. Grasping at straws it would appear. Forget Tags. When Danny hoists that Lombardi Trophy I want King "Peter" to present it.

He loves the Patriots and Bellicheck (who IS a good coach) but until Bellicheck wins a SB without Tom Brady, he's not in the same league as Coach Gibbs.

So if I understand this article correctly, King "Peter" will vote for Tags for HoF today regardless of eligibility. And if the Redskins went out and got a big possession receiver who was 6'3", 210 lbs, and averaged 14 yards a catch for his career, that would've been a smart move?

Oh wait, the Redskins had that guy. His name was Art Monk and was the ALL-TIME leading receiver when he retired (still # 4) and has more yards and catches than Lynn Swann and John Stallworth... combined, and only 1 less ring. Two guys he voted to induct to the Hall. But he can't vote for Art because he merely belongs in the "Hall of Very Good" (his words).

King "Peter's" hypocrisy is only eclipsed by his stupidity. That's it. I'm sending him a case of Preparation H because every A______e eventually needs it!

[koepke25]

That's high comedy..especially the part about Roy Williams..seems like with our small receivers we had lots of trouble against him last year didn't we??

And so the trade of the year is losing your best receiver (and only offensive threat) for a 3rd pick this year and a 4th next? Excellent!! Especially considering that they had signed him to a first-round tender..great job!!

Actually I think this is a true statement. They are the same kind of WR.......GOOD!!!!

[Sean Taylor is God]

1. How to say NO! to edible things.
2. How to gain the respect of your peers. Ever wonder why all the breaking news comes from clayton and mort? because players RESPECT them. the last breaking story from King was that he gained 20 lbs.
3. How to analyze a football competition. Just read something he's written.
4. 4 small rceivers can be deadly in the right system.
5. the redskins have the power to destroy Pete King. (not joking)
6. I will get laid
7. Nobody likes Peter King
8. that joe gibbs know more about the Redskins than me.
9. the redskins will win the Super Bowl every year.haha
10. Peter King's time on this earth is running out.

[whitskins]

Of course the Redskins are insane, they didn't sign TO like King said they would, making him look like a complete moron by denouncing his story publicly before it even aired on television.

This guy also said our quarterback situation last year was insane. He said Minnesota would make the Super Bowl. Thanks Peter, I feel better already.

[SkinsFan4Life2003]

Peter king is the King alright, of the "haters ball" that is:rolleyes: ....hate, hate, hate, hate!

he or Pastabelly will be a shoe in for "Hater Of The Year", i'm lovin the Chappelle reference:lol1:

[Keino]

Im going to propose to the owners that we make linking to a Peter King or Don Banks or Dr. Z story become a Bannable offense.

I mean we are trying to preserve high quality discussion, right? These articles aren't worthy of being used as my back-up toliet paper......

[skinsorbust]

this guy is a serious tool bag.so santana who had a career year or should i say pro bowl year,1200yards,ten td's,and changed the way defenses planned against us.is telling me that two of the exact same reciever is a bad thing.

what a dumbBLEEEEPPP!!!!

[HanburgerBum]

I have never been a Peter King basher, because I think he generally writes well. But, PK dropped the ball on this one big time.

Where has PK been? Doesn't he know about the recent rule changes in the passing game? Big receivers are yesterday's news. The super stars today are players like Steve Smith, Santana Moss and Hines Ward, small but super quick. Did PK ask Roy Williams what type of receivers he would rather go up against? Did PK ask RW if he caught Santana Moss' jersey number as SM left him standing still?

The Redskins are stupid for having 4 relatively small receivers? Having 4 Santana Mosses would be a bad thing? Should the Skins re-sign Rod Gardner then (he is a big receiver)?

As Oldskinsfan pointed out, it is indeed ironic that King is extolling the virtues of a big receiver, when he has dumped on one of the best big receivers of all-time, Art Monk.

[Ibleedburgundy]

King is thinking The skins lose MNF game if you take away the two deep bombs.

BTW I'm pretty sure he was the same bozo that said if you take away Portis'run in the TB game 2 years ago, his stats weren't that great. What a MORON!

...and if you take away the three super bowl rings and forget aobut his winnig record, Joe Gibbs ain't that great of a coach. :rolleyes:

Peter King should have his own comedy tour because he truely is funny.

Seriously though, at this point I think King is bashing the skins purely for ratings and publicity.

[danny's stogie]

This guy also said our quarterback situation last year was insane. He said Minnesota would make the Super Bowl. Thanks Peter, I feel better already.

Jake Plummer for MVP two years running takes the cake in my book.

Dude... at least HALF of the funniest posts ever at hR have come from threads about PK and his moronic comments. I find them hilarious, and often uplifting. Let's not take away our fun!!

:goodpost:

But why deal with facts? King prefers to use personal opinion rather than fact when building biased arguments. King is like an anti-Redskin politician the way he always spins everything regarding the Redskins in a negative way.

Edit: In PK's eyes we probably needed a big WR who is better than Monk was. That guy really wasn't that great anyways.

[GoDannyBoy]

This is the same man who guaranteed that the Redskins would have T.O....:)

Maybe TO does go to Dallas and he wreaks his magic there. Ruin three teams in five years. Would that be a record?

Even Norv can't match that!

[ConradCountry]

You gotta hate this man. He will find every which way to hate on the Redskins.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/peter_king/03/13/mmqb/3.html

Who cares if they are small, they will run by big fat Roy like they did last year.

[Redskinmayhem]

PK is a loser. just another hater hating us in week 11 last season at 5-6. Funny thing is that he turned his tune when we beat Philly to get in the post season. These guys are all just haters. It's trendy to hate the Skins if you're in the media.

[Redskinmayhem]

Who cares if they are small, they will run by big fat Roy like they did last year.

seriously, do you get a big WR and ply into Roy's game? Or do you go right at his weakness- SPEED? Goes to show what Pk knows.

[Keino]

Dude... at least HALF of the funniest posts ever at hR have come from threads about PK and his moronic comments. I find them hilarious, and often uplifting. Let's not take away our fun!!

Yea, it just gets old to me that "Lenny or Peter are at it again" posts. We all know what those guys are about and all we do is boost their popularity by providing their crappy site with hits.

[Smurf85]

This guy is a joke i would not ever listen to him.I watch Around The Horn and PTI tonight.On ATH two guys said we are favorites for the NFC.The other two said we are favorites to win the DIV.Then on PTI both said these moves are good for the team and they said they would work this time because of Gibbs.

[bgforever]

I wonder what King thinks of this trio of wide receivers:

Harrison 6-0 175pds.
Wayne 6-0 198pds.
Stokley 5-11 197pds.

Or this duo:

Holt 6-0 190pds.
Bruce 6-0 188pds.

It sure is impossible to have a good passing game with similar receivers huh?

Hey Owner(s) archive this and every time a person that's a writer, writes an article (Sally, PK, Pastabelli, other misguided unsaintly ones) we can send a copy and ask them to PUBLICLY retract their statements in another article, as well Radio wave HATE spreaders on FOX, ESPN and CBS. TV guys get their hair raised on end, but they don't say a word on national television, even if they lied their tails off.

[AUSTINTXREDSKIN]

This moron just said we got two more Moss's. Didn't he go to the probowl last year. I would hate to have two more of him.

[bantu]

Apparently the guys over on AM 980 are scared and saying, "Just like before in 2000" or whenever it was when they got Deion, B. Smith, and Jeff George.

Yeah, all those guys were old and were washing up long before they got here. All these guys are young AND are not being overpaid their fair market value.

[Meatsnack]

alittle early to be jumping off the bandwagon isn't it? I mean, we haven't even lost three preseason games yet.

I love these idiots. Even knowing that Gibbs exposes nothing in preseason, every year there is panic when we lose three out of four. And now, before a ball is snapped in anger, the sky is falling.

I'll explain this in words even media types can understand:

Dear Media Drones, every day the sun comes up, but each day is a new day. So, take a shower. Change your underwear. Go on a date. Stop the hate.

[RicFlairOne]

He hates it because we keep outbidding his Gints .Now he can say we will be in cap hell for the next decade.

[silverspring]

The only valid negative i can see is that we spent most of our cash at WR. Other then that the pickups we made are both young and reasonable value for what we paid.

Roy Williams can take Lloyd out of the game, but i can't figure out how he will take lloyd, moss, randle el and patten out all at the same time?

[CowboyKilla]

This guy must have missed Monday Night game, when Santana RIPPED Roy a new one. What an absolute Terd.

[CowboyKilla]

Great stats spicy...

But anyway nothing changes with these guys.

[IMALILTEAPOT]

i dont get him, earlier this year he said that he can see us in the super bowl this year, and he picked us to rep the nfc. now, he thinks we are out of our mind. the media always praises philly's FO, but they act like they dont want to win. if u wanna win, u gotta spend some money on players

[SpicyMcHaggis]

He also said that Saunders might have been the best signing for any team..then what does he do? Turn around and say he is completely out of his mind (because in case King doesn't know Al Saunders is the one calling the shots on offense now...)

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Thanks!

[bgforever]

he doesn't know what we or other teams really do, except the Giants. He reads the headlines on wire information, makes an assumption and moves, doesn't check facts at all. It shows in his writing.

Robinson's article at Yahoo.com Sports is jumping on us for paying too much to Archuletta, Lloyd and Randle El. What HE DOESN'T give you is FACTOIDS!
Why, because he DOESN'T Know. NO research, nada, zilch. Just looking at signing numbers from the wire again, not the devil in the details! As a result, we are now the bad guy for sigining people (we are supposed to be STILL incompetent compared to 2001 (PK must have called him), and the enundo is Joe Gibbs makes no difference, we supposedly gave up too much, when in fact, lesser year contracts for say, $10mil less have the same years of impact for other teams, who have NO voidable years in the contract. Ours do, in all cases, year 6 and on.

[vabeach_skinsfan]

Peter Kings is a clown. Its just total hate for the Redskins.

[BigDaddySkin]

Hummmm.....Redskins, Gibbs, small fast receivers? Haven't we seen this before :thinker:

NEW AGE SMURFS!

[bgforever]

Hummmm.....Redskins, Gibbs, small fast receivers? Haven't we seen this before :thinker:

NEW AGE SMURFS!


Exactly! Actually the receiving corps is the same size as the Colt's receivers.

We will be laid out more, of course because of the hate. FINE! I welcome it and love the challenge when we play the Colts this year!

Right now Bill Polian is laying low and waiting to pick a few players in a couple of more weeks, just to say how less he's spent. What he will not tell you is, they didn't really have to make a splash in FA anyway, because they can't figure out how to get to the big dance, with what they got. It's not that he's spending less and getting good bang, instead he's leaning on the offense all the way. Dungy's defense was exploited in the last 2 games.

[Keino]

I realize the irony in what Im about to say, as Im bumping it to the top........


I wish this thread would die.

We have so many positive things to discuss, and Peter King and his anti-Skins bias is not remotely relevant to any of them.

[Brokenstriker]

King:

"Wouldn't someone on the staff there say, Hey, maybe it's a good idea to get a taller, more physical receiver to play against some of the moose we have at safety in this division, like Dallas' Roy Williams?"

So he's making the case that the Redskins are crazy for signing wide recievers who are too small and not strong enough because of the likes of Roy Williams? He provides a table showing how small and light our receivers are for next season?

Yo' Pete ... dumb @#(

... Santana Moss, the smallest guy listed in your table ... freaking OWNS Roy Williams ...

ahh ... Petey ... do you ever watch the Redskins play football? ... did you miss the NFL season highlights?

Moss torches Williams once ...
Moss torches Williams twice ...
REskins beat the Cowboys ...

... I think it was on the Sports Machine ... heck it might even have been highlighted in SI ... by you (you're freaking pitiful King) http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/preview/siexclusive/2005/pr/subs/siexclusive/10/25/faces.places1031/index.html?url=http%253A%252F%252Fpremium.si.cnn.c om%252Fpr%252Fsubs2%252Fsiexclusive%252F2005%252Fp r%252Fsubs%252Fsiexclusive%252F10%252F25%252Ffaces .places1031%252Findex.html

You gotta hate this man. He will find every which way to hate on the Redskins.

Is this guy having a laugh?
Seriously - the Skins figure to be in the top few teams in 2006 and 2007. So a 3rd/4th rounder is what, the 90+ pick in 2006 and 120+ pick in 2007? Exactly which WR could the Redskins draft with the 90-120th pick in any draft and get someone better than Lloyd, who is young, exciting, and on the rise, and has now served his usual "rookie" period where it takes a receiver a year or two to make an impact. Trade of the year, maybe - for the Redskins.

Exactly..it's not like we traded two first rounders...a low third rounder and a friggin' 4th rounder NEXT YEAR...and King is always writing about how the draft is so overrated because one third of the players make no contribution at all...good job PK!!:banghead:

[garedskin]

LOL.I bet Williams is thinking he has to horse tackle all 4 of them on the first series to have any chance of covering a Washington WR.Also I might be mistaken but all the NewEngland WRs are sized about the same.Now he thinks he is smarter than OUR COACHING STAFF.:lol1: What an asshole.:Peace:

[JoeDaSchmoe]

So we've pretty much copied the receiving corps of the Colts, Patriots, and Chiefs, and we're being criticized for it.

Riiiiiiiiiight.

[Sean Taylor is God]

So we've pretty much copied the receiving corps of the Colts, Patriots, and Chiefs, and we're being criticized for it.

Riiiiiiiiiight.
now our Wr's are MUCH better than KC or NE. MUCH. I think we are second in the NFL next to the colsts. their offense, the Colts, might struggle to replace edge, who was a great pass blocker who had a great understanding of the offense.

[3CardMonte]

Or we could just keep getting receivers that blow by him like he was nailed to the ground like Moss.

:lol1:

[suppitty]

I love his argument that these small receivers can't go up against safeties in the division like the "moose" Roy Williams. Sorry, but was that not Santana Moss running right past Roy twice in 5 minutes on that particular monday night in september. Now we just have 3 guys who can do that.

[Sean Taylor is God]

the safeties size can't stop speed, escpecially with the new contact rules. if you think about it, it is a logical adaptation to the new league rules on defensive grabbing.size becomes less relevant. hence the rise of moss and smith. I hate Pete King.

[vbskins]

Pasta was just on espn radio and bad mouthed the Skins even worse. Said Snyder and Gibbs are running the team like a rotisserrie league. Said this approach would never work. he even admitted that what he was saying would get him bashed on Skins Fan Boards, but he did not care.

Did not give us credit for any signings. Said we overpaid everyone. Said AA was terrible, took bad angles just like ST and had no Int. Said we now have 2 Safties who take bad angles. Bet he thinks Roy Williams is great.

Said we overpaid El as a punt returner.

[IMALILTEAPOT]

omg, peter king mite just be the dumbest sports writer ever. look at what he says in his latest tuesday morning qb:

STOP RIPPING THE REDSKINS. From Jeff of Philadelphia: "Since 2000, all of the experts have been telling me how bad the Cap Hell will be for the 'Skins. In 2003 they were supposed to be in Hell from the 2000 signings. They weren't. I was told that the 'Skins would then have to pay the piper in 2004 ... didn't happen. Then it was supposed to be 2005 for sure ... didn't happen. Then it was a stone cold guarantee the 'Skins would be in undeniable Cap Hell in 2006. There was no way they could get out of it ... Um, didn't happen. Mr. King, how can this be true? How can the predictions constantly be wrong? At what point does the media correctly predict the 'Skins Cap Hell? Or is it just that Dan Snyder & Co. do a much better job at cap management than anybody in the media is willing to give them credit for?''

Maybe they do. But what have they won in the Snyder Era? That's the point here. Winning. And building a good, consistent team year to year. The reason the Redskins got out of a historic cap jail situation this year is very simple. The cap went up $16.5 million, far more than in any other year in the 12-year history of the system. And let's remember this about the Redskins: To get to the cap, they had to whack good players like LaVar Arrington, Cory Raymer and, soon, Patrick Ramsey, who cost the Redskins a first-round pick in 2002. What bothers me about the Redskins management in general is how they dart almost willy-nilly from one way of doing things to another. I mean, you spend a first-round pick on Ramsey and never give him a serious chance to win the job. Ever. Sooner or later, that's going to haunt you.


WHAT?!?! Cory Raymer was our worst lineman on the team!!! And there are sooooooo many other things I could say about his response that is just flat out wrong, but ill leave that to u guys. im in shock

[IMALILTEAPOT]

MORE REDSKINS SUPPORT, THIS TIME FROM NEW YORK. From Anthony of New York City: "Mr. King, I love your work and I mean no disrespect, but why do you and other media figures criticize the Redskins free agent moves? Every year it's the same thing, that they spend too much money, that the players they get are overrated. I know Snyder is not a loveable figure, but don't you think that the Redskins improved greatly last year. They have had some good offseason moves in recent years (Washington, Griffin, the Moss trade worked out well and Portis is a good, hard-nosed RB. ) They've hired good coaches. They have been running pretty smooth since Gibbs returned. So why would you say that they are out of their minds for getting two young receivers in Lloyd and Randle El. Maybe you don't agree, but it seems like they have a plan. Don't you think an organization being run by a hall of fame coach deserves the respect to see how these moves play out before calling the team's decisions this offseason 'crazy?'"

We'll see. what an ass

Joe Gibbs and Dan Snyder are on a cruise. Then BAM! The ship hits an iceberg and starts to sink. Coach and Danny WALK ON WATER and carry all the passengers to a nearby island for safety.

You know I am so glad that I am unaware of what that loser wrote. I have not and will not pick up another SI until we win the superbowl and that piece of crap HAS to kiss the SKINS #%$. This is the same moron (if I am correct ) who picked us last year to be 4-12 and last in the East. All of the people who hate us only make us stronger. We are on the path to glory and everyone else is jealous or in his case Hungry.:devil2:

Oh my god I almost fell off the chair laughing when I read that...ok let's take it player by player...
LaVar: Lots of us liked him, but EVERYBODY in the media considered him extremely overpayed and overrated..now because we let him go all of a sudden he is a "good player"..wonderful..
Ramsey: How can he continue to criticize Gibbs for playing Brunell when we made the divisional championship?? And this is Ramsey we're talking about..career losing record and 75 qb rating...excellent..
But this one beats them all..it could be the greatest thing King ever said..too bad only us Skins fans can really appreciate it:
RAYMER IS A GOOD PLAYER!!! This proves without question that King (and probably most sports reporters) do NOT watch the games and the players they talk about...Raymer was an absolute disaster against the Seahawks...he was considerably worse than a 42 year old player...good god..this one is unbeatable...

[ChiefPowhatan17]

He's stupid. Gibbs knows more about championships. I'll put my money on Gibbs.

We are doing smart things to help our team win. It is that simple. I don't see how people can say that doing what we did was a bad idea.

Guys a joke. We'll see alright.

Cory freakin' Raymer???? Oh PK, PK, you are so foul. Compare Cory Raymer to Rabach please. Get the picture /

Oh, Ramsey, we'll pay for that? How?? He was GIVEN the starting job not once, but TWICE. True adjustments is adjustments, but how longeth the wind doust blow in the favored directions before the fate of time says, ENOUGH ALREADY. Enter the Brunell who simply shows how its done, once he's healthy. Oh wait that's a positive, isn't it PK / You are the weakest, sour, whiniest link in the entire NFL. Now the writers are laughing at you, because like most serial killers, you are the only one that doesn't think there's anything wrong about YOUR OBSESSION. Think again. Soon , we'll see you in a straight jacket like the serial killer you are. The difference, you have a pen, no heart for you on a real weapon, because you aren't for real.

Just heard Peter King on Joe Beningo's show on WFAN 660am NY. He's a guest every week I believe. Anyway...Peter King seemed annoyed that we get our players through FA. He called us "wreckless" and "irresponsible" He feels that all we do is go out and try to obtain "all-star" players and throw away players that are good but may not have as big of a name in the league. He alluded to this is the article a couple posts up also. Just thought I'd share...the interview may be posted on www.wfan.com in the near future. Enjoy!!

[danny's stogie]

I will never forget the Peter King articles from around last year's draft. A week before the draft he writes an article praising Campbell as the best QB prospect in 05 and that only hype put Rogders and Smith ahead of him. A week after the draft King writes how the Skins had one of the worst drafts. So which one is it PK, is Campbell great or does he suck? You can't have it both ways.

Keino is making great points, guys. PK doesn't give a rats behind about the fact that he's being biased. Take it for what it's worth or stop reading it. Cancel your SI subscriptions and send them a note explaining why. Don't click the links to his articles and wait till it gets posted on a message board.

He's following up to keep the Rush Limbaugh type campaign against the Redskins, pressing on. Strange chump he really turned out to be. I'll bet in the coming months, he will be avoided like the plague, because he keeps attacking Gibbs and whether he knows it or not, Joe Gibbs has the utmost respect from nearly all coaches and especially those that really know him.

PK, shaking a hand doesn't constitute a one on one conference with "Mr. Gibbs" (to you) about your selection on not voting and then lobbying AGAINST Art Monk. Kids do that. Real men confront each other in a closed room, with a 15 ft square ring and only one comes out when the conference is done. Interrupting a conversation of a guy on his way to work is NOT the way to do it. Jerk!

[garedskin]

Well for what it is worth,ALL the people I work with have been telling me that if the Redskins dont WIN the SuperBowl this year they will be shocked.One of those people is a stinking cowboys fan.He cant believe how many young good players we have signed over the past 3 off seasons.Like I told him though some where under the radar to alot of people.Marcus Washington,Joe Salavea,Casey Rabach,and even Santana Moss (to name just a few) broke out in a huge way SINCE COMING TO WASHINGTON,not before.That is a testament to the front offices commitment to evaluating talent that fits into our teams system.I truely believe everyone of this years signings has improved our team from last years so it is money WELL SPENT.
peter kings and len pastabelly(dont care to spell his name) ARE bias to the Redskins and there FANS because they get so much hell from us when they blast our Team.I want them and every other writter to under estamate this years team.It will be that much sweeter.Gibbs teams have always been given the "Rodney Dangerfield" treatment,so it is just the same crap different decade.:Peace:

This peter king respone is classic. He is totally schooled by this poster and his only response is a we'll see. Damn Peter I am a skins fan and I could make a better argument against the Skins then you can, an avowed Skin hater.

the reason for the lack of success under Daniel Snyder was the same reason for the lack of success pre Snyder. NO Joe Gibbs. Seriously, football is a coachs' game. Turner he was stuck with and I think everyone now sees what a horrible coach he is. Schottenheimer has done less with more out in SD then anyone in the league. And don't get me started with Spurrier. We had talent (except maybe in 2001 when we were suffering from the cap hits of our 2000 debacle) we just did not get it done. That is the Coachs' fault, not Dan Snyder.

The only reason I can think of is that if we don't do well, he can say "See, I told you so..". Obviously if we do have a good year he will completely disregard the whole thing...

I about spit soda all over my computer today.



Peter King talking about Irvin and the HOF.
Catching 750 balls for a three-time Super Bowl winner and being the key guy in the locker room on game days ... that should make him a gimme.
