The Washington Post backhands Extremeskins.com

I thought the article was good. I don't really see it as poor journalism. If you read the article, its contrasting the Mark Brunell of last year (and the perception of him at the time), to this year's Mark Brunell.

I just think that the comment they quoted had too much agenda behind it. It's a little controversial to be putting in a large paper. When you put something like that in there, it starts stirring up controversy.

Now for the impressional people that read the Post, whenever the Skins sign someone they'll be like "Hmmm, wonder if it's because he's a Christian."

But it shows just how low Brunell was last year, as opposed to this year. He's using it for contrast, not controversy. I believe that if he used it in a story *last* year, it would have been more controversial, but to use it this year is kinda like saying "hey, moron, look where he (and Gibbs) is now".

Oh I completely agree with comparing. Just the comment out of the THOUSANDS there were to choose from was a little bit in bad taste in my opinion.

I hope the Post doesn't decide to dig up anything I wrote about Mark Brunell

For those who might be interested, this thread contains my Letter to the Editor pursuant to Mr. Wise's first column where he used this cheap stunt, as well as some comments from the poster who was quoted:

There were probably similar assanine posts here as well last year.

It's a shame that so many 'fans' gave up so quickly on Gibbs.

Whats also a shame is some of them probably had the "Gibbs is Back" or "In Gibbs We Trust" T-shirts and signs....

good letter in response om.

The war has only just started. Sad....

If Mike Wise can make these kinds of mistakes and get paid for it by the Washington Post no less, maybe I should apply. To quote a fansite is cheap and to not read the date of the post is even worse than bush league journalism. I know we've got alot of diehard fans here who know our facts, but is it too much to ask for a writer for the Washington Post to have a little more football street cred or at the very least a journalistic, fact checking approach? What has this world come too? The end of print media, coming soon!!!
