Re: Emmitt Smith:"cowboys should never let this redskins"
 

I agree with everyone about the idiocy of Smith's comments and his general level of brain activity... but overall I love how the commentators don't give us any credit. Hell yeah, I said it. IMO it makes for the perfect dynamic in the organization: Zorn doesn't give a shit what they think, our players keep a great big chip on their shoulder (I think we'll see this grow in the months ahead) which is a big motivator, and Vinny and the FO can't sit back on their laurels like they might otherwise.

Re: Emmitt Smith:"cowboys should never let this redskins"
 

Great point Goat, the longer we play with a chip on our shoulder the better. I hope to fly under the radar as long as possible. If we can come off with a win or two by another team looking past us, so be it. We can use all the help we can get playing in the NFC Beast.

Yeah. I don't always agree with some of the things he says but heis pretty straight and doesn't say stupid stuff. I do dislike Buck for some reason. He comes off a little too superior i think. He's not old enough to do that yet.

[quote=Dantheskinsfan;483481]I gotta give Aikman credit tho, he calls a pretty square game.[/quote]


Yeah Aikman isn't a homer and an overall class act. He calls it as he sees it. It is not like Herbstreit with OSU, or Bob Griese being biased when his son was at U of M. Nobody has ever been biased like Brent Musburger. OMG, that guy picks a team and just sucks up to them all game/season long.

It is perfect since it means we are still under the radar a bit. I think YOung is waiting for us to tangle with Philly next weekend to jump on the bandwagon. That is going to be a great game!!!!!!! Philly is very hard to win at, and they must be pissed losing Sunday night. No let ups and I think we come away with a W. Thing is we have that bad habit of losing after Dallas week. THat is one jinx I hope we can rid ourselves of.

Re: Emmitt Smith:"cowboys should never let this redskins"
 

Emmitt is horrible and I could really care about what he spews. Steve Young is right though...the next couple weeks could show how good our team is. If we lose two in a row...then, maybe we're not that good. Win 3 out of 4....maybe.

Troy Aikman is a very good analyst. He calls it down the middle. I can't stand to listen to Moose Johnston for some reason. He just annoys me.

People get all worked up about who sais what. If we win games the skins will get the pub they deserve. We're only 4 games into the season.

Re: Emmitt Smith:"cowboys should never let this redskins"
 

Kornheiser really needs to let go of that 10-hair strand comb over he's got going on.

The longer Dallas keeps getting overhyped too, the better. They're a very good team for sure, but they have weaknesses just like everyone else. But way too many "experts", "analysts", etc keep talking about Dallas like they've, you know, actually DONE something to warrant all the praise.

How long has it been since they've won a playoff game? 10 years? 12? Yet you'd think these guys have won multiple championships the way they get talked about by the media and fans.

Meh, they don't impress me. The Skins have won what, five of seven from them now?

haha!! i agree!

Lets not get too worked up...we want that silent confidence but we dont want to lose that chip. It really has pumped us up.

Re: Emmitt Smith:"cowboys should never let this redskins"
 

[quote=GMScud;483532]Which line did Emmitt use in his "audition" that got him the job?

Was it- "They need to come out sharp as a whistle..."

Or was it- "If they ain't careful they gonna get blowed out"

Don't get me wrong, Emmitt was one of the all time great Gators, so I respect him for that, but he is borderline Forrest Gump...

LMAO. That was good. He is just terrible. They should replace him w/ Trent Dilfer.

My wife, who is not a football fan at all, just so happened to be sitting with me while the Monday Night Football crew was doing the pre-game show and she made that same comment. She said he needs to do something with hair as opposed to whipping it around like a bee hive. I almost fell off the couch. Dude should accept the fact that he doesn't have any hair and move on. It is acceptable to shave you head or cut it close like Mike Tirico and keep it neat. It's hard to watch him in High Definition, it looks even worse.

Re: Emmitt Smith:"cowboys should never let this redskins"
 

The funny thing is that the Eagles LOST to Dallas, and everyone was talking about how great they looked the next day. We WON and they still downplay it and the reason is that they don't WANT the Redskins to be good. For whatever reason they (Reporters, Journalists, Analysts, Talking Heads) can't deal with it.

Other teams get enthusiastic hype while we get grudging acknowledgement. Sending McNabb and the Eagles to 2 -3 at home will only make them hate us that much more. They have high hopes for Donovan this year. Tom Jackson will be inconsolable if McNabb loses which will be a joy to watch.
