Pastabelly...
 
Seriously, what a ass. This guy is the farthest from a journalist I have ever read. From ESPN's Morning after ....


"Last laugh?
That other New York franchise, the one where players apparently aren't on-time for club meetings even when they are five minutes early (sort of), may have proven that there is nothing like a little chaos to get things going in the right direction. We are forever grateful to clever Giants coach Tom Coughlin and his team for luring Washington brass into the little-used ruse in which you try to convince an opponent that dissension runs rampant in the ranks (wink and, uh, double-wink).


At least the Giants victory keeps the Redskins and sainted Joe Gibbs from going 16-0. Last week, one of the hosts of the popular ESPN-produced show dubbed something like Pardon the Insult suggested on local D.C. television that yours truly was "stupid" for predicting the reincarnation of Gibbs would not succeed. Chances are pretty good that, at some point in the future, said host (who also gloated that he planned to assail yours truly in the FedEx Field press box with his analysis but, um, didn't), will get a chance to rub my nose in it big-time. But for one week -- thanks to Coughlin, and Kurt Warner, who won his first start since the 2001 NFC championship game -- hey, we ain't so dumb after all.


The Washington offense, the part of the team run by Gibbs (defensive coordinator Gregg Williams functions pretty much with autonomy, as did Richie Petitbon back in the glory days), struggled mightily. Quarterbacks Mark Brunell and Patrick Ramsey tossed four interceptions. Tailback Clinton Portis was held to just 69 yards by the Giants' mutineers.


In the event no one else is keeping tabs, Portis has now averaged a pretty pedestrian 2.6 yards per carry since his scintillating 64-yard scamper the first time he touched the ball in a Redskins uniform. This is a guy who averaged 5.5 yards in two seasons with the Denver offense.


Oh, well, enough of this gloating. It is, as demonstrated by Giants resident rabble rouser and erstwhile defensive end Michael Strahan, a tad unbecoming. And, in Strahan's case, a little contrived. It's Strahan, after all, who has most fomented unrest among his mates. He fails to understand that, with management endorsing Coughlin's martinet bent, he won't win this battle. But he did help win a game on Sunday and then proclaimed that a win was just what the doctor ordered. Like he really wanted Coach Tommy the Terrible to notch a victory amid such a week of turmoil.


By the way, word is that Coughlin had turned all the clocks in the building ahead, so players would be on time."

I swear this fatass bastard really pisses me off.

SmootSmack 09-20-2004 12:44 PM

If I remember right, and I could be wrong, Pasquarelli said that in three years Gibbs would go from being remembered as a Hall of Fame coach to "just another ordinary Joe" And Wilbon said it was stupid to think that Gibbs couldn't get the job done in three years (he wasn't alking about just two games) and more importantly that it was stupid to think that whatever happens would make people forget about what Gibbs accomplished his first time around

Either way, Pasta has an obvious ax to grind and it's sad

JWsleep 09-20-2004 12:45 PM

Patience. Our time will come. We'll be holding another Lombardi trophy and Pasta will pretend like he was always behind it.

THis is an attack on Wilbon. Wonder how he'll respond?

Gmanc711 09-20-2004 12:46 PM

I hope Wilbon flies to Sea World, goes right up to Pasta's tank and kicks his ass.

Redskins_P 09-20-2004 12:46 PM

Smootsmack, you are absolutely right. That's just a cheap shot by Pasta Belly.

BIGREDSKINFAN63 09-20-2004 01:08 PM

if brains were music,ole fatass pastabelly would by a damn symphonic band.he'll never be jack shit,and he's jealous.he's in a little league of his own,he'll never be in the same league as wilbon,clayton,david aldridge and even peter king.i really think the man needs brain surgery,but i honestly do'nt think he could survive the pre-operative enema.

Wilbon is doing a live chat WP.com right now. I'm gonna copy and paste what Len "I haven't seen my dick in ten years" Pasquarelli wrote and ask him about it.

SmootSmack 09-20-2004 01:22 PM

That's hilarious

rickmmrr 09-20-2004 01:29 PM

What an insecure fat ass bast@#$. He obviously can't take a little criticism.

You can't be a journalist if you can't take criticism. Enough said.

MTK 09-20-2004 02:38 PM

Pasta was probably shaking with excitement as he wrote this article. Once the game was over I knew he was loading up to take another shot at us.

It's really getting old, I try to not pay any attention to this guy, he really doesn't deserve our attention, negative as it may be.

celts32 09-20-2004 02:47 PM

I can't even believe how unprofessional Pasquarelli is. He is using ESPN.com for personal agenda's and vendeta's. He completely lacks any integrity whatsoever. How can ESPN let this guy hold a job? I am really losing allot of respect for the ESPN network. Doesn't anyone review what he posts online before it goes up there? Wilbon should just be the better man and not stoop to this overgrown childs level.

SkinsRock 09-20-2004 02:55 PM

This article doesn't even deserve comment. The fact that some of these guys actually get paid to write this slop is unbelievable.
Interesting how 7 out of 8 of his fellow "experts" at ESPN picked the Skins to win this game....

I don't even read that clown anymore. Could he make it more obvious that he has an axe to grind against the Redskins.. Just to make us feel better, he's hated by Falcons fans here in Atlanta too for similar rants. He was in with the Smith family (former owners) but since Arthur Blank took over he gets no love so he rips them at every turn.. What a loser.
