Expect nothing more. TROG

Re: Here comes Sally
 

Isn't ironic that during 05 when the SKINs went on the winning streak and made the playoffs after Sally wrote that famous "The NY GIANTS are a shining example on how to team build" and they were out in Round One while we advanced, we heard nothing from her.

and now she comes out of the wood work to kick us after a 5-11 season.

Re: Here comes Sally
 

I don't normally do this....but, I'm looking for the guy (locked thread) that said we should trade Sean Taylor?

Re: Here comes Sally
 

Here is the email I wrote her last night and her two responses.

"I just finished reading your column on Sean Taylor and Shawn Springs.My question is this...Have you ever written anything good about the team? I can't remember a single article you've written that had something positive to say. Where does this bias come from? And why, if you hate the team so much, do you continue to write articles about it. How could you possibly quote Chris Carter in your article? What has he done that you feel he is an expert "insider" and knows exactly what different coaches are doing? Have you seen him on HBO? His opinions are a joke and I feel it reflects on you as a columnist that you would use his opinion. It is obvious you were just looking for some filler for your article. At least, for your sake, I hope that is the case. Because if it isn't, you've lost all credibility as far as I'm concerned.Please do us all a favor and and stick to covering cycling or whatever it is you write that no one cares about. I don't know of anyone that likes your columns or respects your opinion."

Her response-


"I don't set out to offend Redskins fans. Believe me, it's a lot more fun to write about a winning team. I simply think the Snyder-Cerrato-Gibbs tenure has been a failure.
I've written plenty of nice things about individuals with the organization. If you go back and look, I think you might be surprised. In fact, I'd never written a critical word about Gibbs until Friday. And I probably praised Brunell and Ramsey far past the point of reason. Stephen Davis leaps to mind as a player I always wrote glowingly of, as does Gregg Williams, Champ Bailey, Laveranues Coles...
That said, I'm not sure I've ever writte anything positive about Snyder or Cerrato, for the reason that I think they deserve criticism, not praise, based on the record.
Fans tend to take things personally. I understand that. I'm simply more dispassionate about the team than you are.

But I thank you for reading the Post.

Best, Sally J."


"PS-I wrote tons of nice things about Steve Spurrier. I actually thought that, in time, Spurrier would have grown into a good NFL coach. He was fun and so was his team. I was in the minority on that, but I wrote it consistently."

Re: Here comes Sally
 

Definately something to think about. Wether we agree or not.

P.S. Sally, It's nice to know that you wrote such nice things about players that are no longer Redskins, except MB and he won't be for long.

I'm also not suprised with your fondness for spurrier...he was good for a laugh, even as an NFL coach. That's a real educated guess that he would have grown into thew job, in ol, maybe if you gave him 20 years.

That's why he's in the real big league....once again, USC/ Gamecocks..plz

Funny, when they were winning 2 years ago she didn't write anything good either. The fact that she liked Spurriers tenure is even more comical. She enjoyed a coach that didnt work hard, know the players, or believe defense was important. That was "fun".

Please, everyone, dont even read her articles.

Re: Here comes Sally
 

This thread is very similar to the "Sh@t Talkers" thread. When you stink and you know it, you don't appreciate hearing anyone else call you out, especially when it's in front of other people. Just as gabe1984 got mad when his friend's boyfriend started hating on the Skins, we get disgusted with the likes of Sally Jenkins, Len Pastabelly, and Peter King for writing deprecating articles. But the bottom line is, we've only been to the playoffs once this decade, have made numerous front office gaffes, and have an owner that has a history of bad judgment, overspending, and meddling. We're an easy target. It sucks. I'll never stop loving my team, and just like gabe1984 and everyone else, I'll always be mad when people hate.

HAIL DAMMIT!! I can't wait to prove the doubters wrong this fall...

Re: Here comes Sally
 

[quote=JDALY27;309980]I guess you're right about that. Sally puts a very bad taste in my mouth. I just don't think that I would be a good writer when it came to field hockey or getting my hair done or another activity that men don't participate in.....[/quote]

Maybe I am the only one but this is some funny sh&t. I guarandamntee you she could educate us on munching box. Well, maybe not me!

Pay the Grim Reaper so he can cripple somebody!
