It's motherf***ing f***ing titans week, you b**ch a** motherf***ers

LOL effing classic....I try to catch Redskin Nation when I can, probably several time a week. I just like the access to players, FO interviews, kinda gives you some behind the scenes stuff that is cool. But of course Larry Michaels is over playing the rhetoric...but thats his job and you can tell half the time he knows it. But everyone knows sports radio like polical radio is all about over-the-top stupid rants...ratings

Sports radio in the DC area sucks big time. I've mentioned this before, but over the summer, during the NFL drought, I listened to podcasts of a Steelers radio show from ESPN Pittsburgh. Their offseason shows were a million times better than anything ESPN980 puts on during the regular season. Sometimes it's very tiring to hear them just b*tch and whine left and right. It's ridiculous. Now I get most of my Redskins news from here, I also listen to a couple of the NFL podcasts on ESPN (my favorite is Football Today).

When I lived in that area from 95-01 it was the same way...

When the Skins actually start winning games, making playoff appearances, draft players instead of bringing in other team's washed up veterans then maybe talk radio will be alot better around these parts. How are they going to take a team that loses to the Lions and Rams every year serious? We have to give them something good to talk about if we want to HEAR something good on air. Don't get mad with radio host for reporting what all of us have seen, be mad with the team that has been sucking for years.

That illustrates how the radio hosts have been feeling for years... now you get it.

Oh so I should feel sorry for them. Now if you listen to Lavar and Dukes then maybe you listend to The Big O and Dukes show when 106.7 was a talk show station and not a sportstalk station. You also may have listened to Lavar when he was on the John Thompson show, as a Redskin, a Giant, and then as a retired player. You may have noticed a shift in their respective philosophies after getting paired up on what is now 106.7 the fan. I have no problem with them saying what they say, like I said it's when it's all about personal beefs rather than "unbiased" sportstalk. That's it. Brian Mitchell who many feel was a great Redskin talks about running backs and his career as if he was actually a stud. He wasn't. He can't tell me about how you should be a team leader and what would've happened in your day when as a "leader" you had the most undisciplined Redskins teams the I have seen. This, mind you was BEFORE Dan Snyder bought the team. Listening to him you would think that those teams were awesome wouldn't you ?

Lavar speaks of his career as if he was a stud and that everything was Dan's fault. Now understand that this is coming from a guy who was Dan's friend and his beef came about when he was "cheated" out of his money right ? But what he won't bring up is the fact that that very same agent was kicked out of the league because he wasn't doing everything the right way. Don't think about that, just think about the way that HE was wronged.

If there is nothing good to say then cool, but the same people that bitch and moan about things not going well told the fans when they played that we needed patience. Now you have a mic in your face you tell me that I should go to the games because the team is losing. And what do we do ? Just what they say.

I'm done, you're good with them. I listen but it's because they have a pretty good show and I'm a glutton for punishment. Do they speak the truth ? Not so much.

I don't think the Redskins winning or losing have to do with the shitty quality of the radio talk shows that much. If I want to hear a whole bunch of people complaining about the Redskins, I can stand in the mirror and complain to myself or come here and read a mindless rant posted by fans.

All that you hear from a lot of the shows around here is a lot of whining and complaining, the TMZ-like reporting of certain players/stories (Haynesworth, Portis, etc., etc.), and a lot of these hosts always having the need to sound like pr*cks everytime they criticize something and someone. For once I'd like to hear someone break down a game, talk from a football perspective, and provide some sound criticism of the team. And not hearing Chad Dukes babbling off in a mindless rant or Kevin Sheehan b*tching and whining about Albert Haynesworth every 5 minutes.

I can dig it, but do you think if we had a front office who knew what they were doing and we were winning on a more consistant basis, the local media or realists on this board would still complain? I have a hard time believing that.

the Os have been having a tough stretch but the coverage on 105.7 the fan is great.

side note - i was listening to mike shanahans press conf in the car a lil bit ago. he said landry is about 90% certain not to play against the vikes. rabach has a grade 2 meniscus tear, so hes probably out. rogers is a wait n see approach. dock is real sore, probably wont play. anderson russel is on IR and they are going to bring in a safety. j davis is signed to the active roster. im forgetting some other guys . . .

They complain when the owner did what they all asked him to do.

Bruh those dudes have so many holes it's sad. They said that they were glad that Shanahan was here because he'd put the right people on the field and not just start a guy because of his name or his salary. And then Portis started and they bitched because of that. They still bitch about Devin Thomas getting released but they never mention that he can't make the Panthers starting lineup. They will find a reason to bitch, it's their job.

The 980 dudes are the same way. They find reasons to bitch because they know that the Redskins fan doesn't want to hear anything but. That's what we want to hear because one day someone told us that we should always be angry and that's what we are.
