So called media disrespect thread....[Merged]

[Skinreds]

SO I know most of you guys hate ESPN because of the love affair with the Cowboys and how they straight bash us(i still love ESPN)....Well im watching First Take this morning and they asked the panel at 1st and 10 if we were legit.....

Analysist Skip Bayless actually had us finishing second behind the Giants with a 12-4 record. Thats fine, but the "2 Live stews" on the otherside of the panel were saying that we are STILL THE WORST TEAM in the NFC...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? we just beat 2 division rivals in THEIR home and we still get no respect? They said the eagles are more talented than us too and I just dont see it, all they have is westbrook and mcnugget and we shut them both down.

I dont want superbowl talk or anything drastic because its still a long season but PLEASE give us some respect....we havent had 4 consecutive wins at the start of a season in years, especially against our rivals....WHOM ARE PRETTY GOOD. The stews even had us missing the playoffs.......are you kidding me?! It could still happen but the Eagles are not making it i dont care what they say, we have the rest of the divional games at home so lets bring it to them!

I dont want the hype for a superbowl BUUUT i do demand some respect, i guess this can be some fuel for the fire...

sorry for the rant, i just want to hear your take

GO SKINS!

Its those type of closeminded prick writers that I hate the most because they cant accept that We aare the REAL DEAL this year. These past two wins were HUGE. IN dallas,then strait to Philly? But were the worst in the division??? Wow,I would like to know who those two writers were so i could write them a letter.

[SkinsKY]

Put it on the bulletin board and move on. There will be those people all year. Not worth much time.

[Keino]

Who cares?

You are what you record says you are, not what some analyst who has already been proven to be incorrect says.

This isn't thread worthy to me. We don't need the media to fawn over this team to know that it is good. I'd rather them Kiss our collective rears after we win it all......

[Redskin-4-life]

It's obvious that they don't have a clue, and don't want to admit what all the other sport writers are starting to realize that they are wrong. I love the mindset of this team by staying even and focusing one team, one week at a time.

[smoak]

I could not care less what they think and I am perplexed why anyone else would??? I was happy when I got the text that 100% of the braintrust @ Fox picked the Iggles...

Stop caring and trust in the Zorn.

[Ibleedburgundy]

I'm still having a hard time figuring out why Philly was favored over us by 5.5. If home field advantage is only worth 3, what is it that makes a 2-2 team that lost to Dallass and beat two bad teams better than a 3-1 team that dominated Dallass in their house?

When asked if teams will contiunue to disrespect the Redskins CP answered "I hope so" because that way they continue to underestimate and look past. That's fine by me, who's next?

[Skinreds]

Ya i see, your guys point. I guess the reason why I pay close attention to these guys is because I am a Mass Communications major specifically in sports broadcasting and I look into this kind of stuff because im soooo interested in how analyst think and respond to events, especially when its OUR team.

I just want more respect, thats it. Not a superbowl prediction

this is good for the team.. let them remain underappreciated all season.. worked for the giants last year...

[BigHairedAristocrat]

I hoped that by leaving extremeskins, i could escape threads like this popping up everytime an analyst didnt say the Redskins were the greatest team in the history of the NFL. good grief... Plenty of people are giving us respect. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and its ridiculous to get upset everytime a professional sports analyst doesnt share a fans opinion of his team.

[Patrick]

Why care about stuff like this........
AND honestly, the only ranking that I really think worthy is the last one of the year.

I understand it may be annoying to see me bring this up, BUT like i said i dont expect much praise like a super bowl prediction. Its just too early, at the same time i cant fathom how an analyst can say we are the worst team after beating TWO of the division rivals, that are pretty damn good.

Im not upset(how can i be with a 4-1 start), From an analytical viewpoint it just doesnt make any sense, it baffles me(thats was the main concern of my orginal post)

[BigCountry]

And?

Well if you've watched or read enough sports or politics, then you'll notice half of them talk out of their..... Most of them just seem like ordinary people with access to insider knowledge. Others are analyst cause they were former notable players. Some just say stuff to get noticed. In the end though... their job is to inform, but above all, entertain. Even if everyone starts hopping on the Skins bandwagon, there will still be those who doubt the popular opinion, which is good. I like upsetting non-fans.

Claude Humphrey, a Hall of Fame quality DE with the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles said it best, "Respect is something a Father wants from his kids." Who cares what people think. Just keep winning.

So why don't we have one thread where all you guys who find articles where you feel we are being disrespected or not given credit can put them. This will make sure the board doesnt get clutter with all that stuff.

I agree, its getting old already. The most annoying thing about Ravens fans is they spend all day whining that they get no respect. I don't want us to be like that. I'm also going to forgive some idiot sports writer who has to make a meaningless list every week if he's not yet convinced we are world beaters. The teams getting their due so far have won something and done so recently.

But we are not the ravens...we were a playoff team last year. I feel like everyone forgets that AND we won one playoff game compared to the cowgirls blowing people out left and right then never winning a playoff since 96.

Since the Ravens became a team they have had no offense and havent done anything in the playoffs recently, they deserve no respect.

Anymore media disrespect threads will get merged from here on out. We don't need no stinkin' respect!! :typeR2:

JUST IN!

Rick Riley on PTI said the Cowboys should get all the criticism they have been given. For one they were beaten by the Redskins at home. Why is this bad? Because according to him, the Redskins are as overrated as David Hasselhoff.

What a douchebag. I was like "WTF!!" I could not believe my ears!

Then Wilbon interjected: "Redskins overrated? I'm sorry, they beat the Eagles, they beat the Cowboys,they beat the Saints, they beat the Cardinals, they beat playoff teams....but the Cowboys need to stop whining..."

[give_portis_the_rock]

Rick Reilly (filling in for Kornheiser on PTI) said we were "more overrated than David Hasselhoff. First of all, everyone is in agreement that Hasselhoff has no talent. Thus, I fail to see how he is overrated. Secondly, Mike Wilbon owned him. "Overrated? They beat New Orleans, Arizona, Dallas, and the Eagles. Playoff caliber teams."

Sorry, didnt see your post for some reason
But yeah, Reilly has annoyed me since his SI days
And as much of a flip flopper Kornheiser is, at least he's entertaining and funny -- I hate it when they bring replacements for him

Yeah I hate that, too. I'm glad Wilbon said something. Why the heck does Tony need replacements so often?

I have no idea, what does he do other than MNF and PTI?

[native skin]

I have no clue. He used to write for the Wash Post but he gave that up. Maybe he's too busy macking all the honeys now that he's some big shot!

Wish that was posted week 14. Then I wouldn't be as nervous with a win less, desperate team, with traces of talent, coming into town. I'm still pinching myself. This is a make or break stretch for our reputation.

It's a lot of pressure for a 4-1 team to play a 0-4 team
Hopefully this is the last time we play a winless team this year (Detroit hopefully wins some time in the next two weeks).

[give_portis_the_rock]

A good sign -- Even though we've won 4 straight and the Rams are 0-4, 3 out of 6 dudes on sportsline picked the Rams to win:

oh... didn't know they were picking against the spread
Damn that means everyone picked the Pukes to cover (against us)? They actually thought we would lose by 11?

The one thing that consoles me is that everyone came in on Monday to watch film rather than take the day off. That is real team spirit. I don't know the last time I remember a skins team acting this serious. Andre Carter said in an interview the other days practice was real serious. Nobody was fooling around, everyone was focused. I really like what I am seeing...

[CamLwalk]

First of all, it is IMPOSSIBLE to overrate David Hasslehoff!!

ok...got that out of the way

Let the freaking Cowboys have all the ESPN attention. I get the impression that it's getting to their players. One of their linebackers was complaining about coming to practice feeling good about their win sunday, then having to answer questions from reporters about how they blew a 17 point lead. They can have all the distractions that come with Ms PacMan and TO. Skins just need to stay medium baby!

[csquared]

Just wanted to bump this up so we don't forget where to put these threads....
