Default Rallying Cry

I'm usually reserved (unless someone says anything bad about the Lakers) but I've seen something really annoying developing here lately. Every little word someone writes and people already lable him as a bias, a Skins hater, anything short of an anti christ. Who the hell gives a damn?! You're the fans, you're the ones who come close to going through emotional breakdowns every sunday cheering on your team, you're the ones who who traveled who knows how many miles to see Joe Gibbs' first game back. The thing that gets everyone here the most it seems is the expert power polls. Again, the most useless piece of information on the internet, so I'm going to start not discussing or posting power polls anywhere by anyone. (besides the HR power poll) I love reading articles just as much as the next guy but I'm tired of having to form an opinion on my team with what Mark Clayton or Chris Mortensen or whoever does those things thinks. In the end it's what you do on Sunday, not Len Pasquarelli or Peter King. Who's with me here?

Yeah, most of these people really aren't familiar with the teams they are grading and only go on the scuttlebutt going around the other commentators. For instance, the Redskins Dline is considered "mediocre". Well, in terms of pass rushing, that may be so. But in terms of run-stopping and general disruption they are above average.

We're with you BC!
I only read our Power Poll, the other guys don't know our team as well as the guys around here do.
Most articles make me mad, and most of them are redundant, or cannibalized from other people's articles.

Understand exactly what you're saying BC - that's why I don't listen to those guys.
