While I agree with you somewhat. I'm sure that it wasnt coaches Gibb's idea to go on the radio show. That decision must have been made upstairs. The same upstairs that got pelted for the tickets.
Don and Mike-Don made a good point. That the Redskins organization was trying to tread water under the pressure that we are putting on them over a "mediocre" offseason. I would temper this quote with, what the hell does he know. But for what it's worth.

I don't know about that. Gibbs understands the importance of the media and he knows how to play that game. Funny how when he goes on Tony's show, eveything is made better. Reporters are people too and need their egos stroked. Gibbs knows how to handle the people side of things, generally.
And GIbbs has called a number of press conferences when he wasn't happy about things. I think he cares a lot about public relations, unlike Danny-boy--and see where it's got him!

MIght it be that Tony Kornheiser is smart enough to realize that Joe Gibbs had nothing to do with the "season ticket fiasco" from a couple of weeks ago and therefore figured it would be really low class to beat Joe Gibbs up with that?
It's pretty easy to like and respect Joe Gibbs for who he is and what he's done while still thinking that the Washington Redskins as an organization is often petty and smarmy and mean and vindictive and...
The coach and the team and the people who run the organization from an administrative sense are not one and the same.
Exactly.

You are right, Gibb's is a media sevant. I think that the 150 Nascar reporters that reported that Gibb's was commenting (joking) that he wouldnt be with the Redskins if he kept losing more than winning. He's so savvy with this half retarded giggle.
And typically the only ass Tony kisses is reporters that he has worked with. Im just not used to him kissing a coaches ass. It caught me off guard after a week of what he termed "war" with the Redskins organization(which I think Gibb's is a part of).
