LavaRnChad 11-18-2010, 02:23 AM Does keeping it real always have to involve yelling like a moron and acting like a jackass?  In that case Dukes owns the market on realness. 
 
No, but as a fan of this team I can understand him yelling.  He is a Skins fan also.  
Longtimefan 11-18-2010, 08:45 AM No, but as a fan of this team I can understand him yelling.  He is a Skins fan also. 
 
So was his father and his father before him, that's the fan era he became so emotional about. There are people around the country who make mockery of what we do here, say all sports jocks, whether it be Radio, TV or social networking need a life and they're entitled to their opinion. 
 
We can discredit the messenger, but we can't discredit the message. The feedback from his message on his show yesterday will attest to that fact. He spoke with Lorenzo Alexander at length, judging from his comments, even the Redskin payers themselves did not take exception too, or were they overwhelmed by his remarks. His tone was emotionally strong on delivery, but his message was understood, especially by the fans who have been loyal to this team for more than just a minute.

Interesting, My Grandfather was a Skins fan and my father was a Skins fan and that is the reason I am a Skins fan. Dad put the Redskins hat on me at birth. I now have 3 boys of my own and I have to admit, I hesitate to curse their life, so I tell them to watch all the games and pick the team they like best. 
 
Sad that I actually have to do this with my boys, but as most of you guys that have been a fan for 20 years or more and have young boys, know what I'm talking about. Thats a testament to how bad this team has been and how hard it has been to suffer as a fan for life. 
 
Thank God some of us got to see the 80's team but, that was a long time ago.  
 
So I share anyones frustration and hold nothing against them for expressing themselves as loud and nasty as they want to be.

When was your dad a Skins fan? Just asking because the Skins of the 50s and 60s were mediocre to average so I'm sure he suffered just as much if not more

I think if you look at it, all great teams goes through periods of great success.........and something less.  YES, it has been a tough road for some time being a Skins fan.   
BUT, I think they are on the right path for some extended success.  THOUGH, not without some growing pains...HTTR

He was a fan in the 60's for sure. I'm not sure exactly when he started watching them. I guess it was the timing of it that changes the perspective of things for me. I seen the Skins as a winner early in my "adventure" as a fan :) And then almost nothing. Were he got to see them become a dominate team right in the middle of his ride.  
 
Your statement about him suffering as much might be right.  
 
I seen them go from dominate to... well you know. I guess I still view them as that dominate team that just cant seem to get it together and it frustrates me. Seems like we have tried so many things, Owners, coaches, players, nothing seems to work. 
 
Dad got to see a more consistent organization. Maybe thats it, Not really sure why I don't pass the tradition on as easily as he did. Maybe I just got spoiled early on.  
hooskins 11-18-2010, 10:26 AM Chad and LaVar are both idiots. Anyone with half a brain who listens to the show knows all they do is bitch, complain, yell, rant, etc. Nothing really substantive on the show. At all. Unfortunately, it feeds the fire as you can see on this board.  
 
Now we have a bunch of Chad Dukes fanboys who think he is their savior because he cusses and complains. Awesome. Did his "epic" rant do anything positive at all? No; he just has the ability to vent at a national level. Half of it is made up too to get attention and their show's name out there.  
dmek25 11-18-2010, 10:31 AM everyone peaches patience, but why? we live in a fast food society, that wants results yesterday. im sick of this shit too. 59 points? what a joke we have become

It's all about ratings... and unfortunately the high drama reactionary stuff sells better than reasonable discussion.  
Chico23231 11-18-2010, 10:49 AM That's the only way to do it, with the REALNESS.  Some don't like the truth though. 
 
So you like bitch and moan over and over? At least bring sort of substance of what you would change or what direction is needed. Offer freakin solutions.  And please remember the disaray this organization was in just last year. I was angry and fed up last year, because we hit bottom after ten years of Vinny and Danny running sh*t.  
 
But you need to at least acknowledge progress from that and realize Shanny and Bruce just took the reigns. It takes at least a couple years to build.  
 
That rant by Chad Whoever was the dumbest sh*t ive ever heard. Yeah nobody is happy with that lost. But to say you are owed something? Dumbest sh*t ive ever heard period
