Media Bashing thread

[truant]

(i know you people are getting just as sick as i am about the media. What's new right? I was thinking that we could just throw the bashing in one link where we can go back and laugh at them at the end of the year. You know they'll sing a different tune, so i'd like to have a record of what they say.)

It would seem we have no shot according to this link.

Ramsey's "lack of arm strength" edited into other flaws...

truant, excellent idea. Nothing like going back to the begin of the season to see how the media changes their tune, of course if we prove them all wrong.

Should be interesting.

THe Redskins bandwagon departs after the end of the Falcons game. Last chance for the media to jump on. I didn't welcome them when went 0-5 then 5-5, and I won't welcome them this time around.

Amazing. Peerless Price is a top-flight wide reciever and Laveraneus Coles isn't even mentioned?

[BigCountry]

You blame them for bashing us after we went 0-5? You can't blame the media for everything.

Prisco garbage

"
When Steve Spurrier took over as the coach of the Redskins before the 2002 season, I was convinced he would become a star in the NFL. I might have been wrong. After watching the Redskins practice last week, and speaking to a handful of players, the Redskins look poorly coached. And Spurrier looked uninterested. During one portion of the team's practice last Wednesday, the offense was running plays against the defense. As they were, Spurrier was standing back behind some players trying to play kicking games with some of his kicking specialists. Spurrier displayed how he could kick a ball over the top of his head, turn and catch it. And he did it. They didn't. But shouldn't he have been watching the practice in front of him? After practice, several players talked about how they were concerned about the team's coaching. Those stories we heard about the Redskins last season, coming from coaches who left his staff, are not far off. Spurrier has to act more committed to the job, or else the question is going to be whether he's just cashing a check. The mind is too good for that to happen, so let's hope that isn't the case. At least he has this going for him: If he is just cashing a check, at $5 million per season, it's a heck of a check to be cashing. "

Dr. Z predicts 5-11 and last in division with us losing ALL road games.

Redskins, 5-11: How could I let this happen, after I've already expressed in print that I liked their offseason moves? Well, I have them losing all their road games. Last year they were 2-6 away from home. It isn't that I think Steve Spurrier's a screw-up. He says he's learned from his 2002 mistakes. It isn't, as I've been accused, that I have a rooting interest against the 'Skins because of the owner. I got over that a long time ago. It's just that I don't see a sense of purpose with this organization. It has a hole in it. Difficult to fully explain. I'll develop the thesis to a greater extent when they start off 2-6. If they start off 6-2, why then I'll have an equally acceptable thesis for the rebuttal.

" But the key for the Redskins will be how that head learns to throw it. If Ramsey doesn't progress, all the millions Snyder spent will go to waste, no matter how the Redskins try to convince themselves that their season doesn't rest on their young quarterback. "

This guy will be fun... pastabelly... he's going to turn faster than his fork around spagetti and meatballs.

(opening paragraphs)
"Given his record of incredible success in the college ranks, not to mention the size of his undeniable ego, many confidants of Steve Spurrier always assumed that the temptation to test himself against his peers at the highest level of the game would eventually lure him to the NFL.

Now here's the irony: Only 19 months after Spurrier finally took the leap, signing a five-year, $25 million deal with the Washington Redskins that made him the league's highest paid coach at the time, some people wonder just how long he will stick around."

"Eff the media."

"The media is a bunch of pompous idiots."

I'm sorry. That's not what you meant by the title of this thread?:D
