come on people, are you kidding?? The Redskins stink!! And basically have for 10 or more years. Do you recall the other lower rank teams in the NFL getting some media coverage when they stink. NO. Just because they are the Redskins doesn't entitle them to more TV or print news than anyone else. The only story that gets written about is how much we spend every year and how ridiculous we are for overpaying. Look at it this way, We get the most media coverage in the history of the NFL during the offseason. NO ONE even comes close to the coverage we get when free agency starts to the beginning of preseason. When we consistantly win, not just one season, but 3 or 4 seasons in a row maybe then we'll get some TV time. It took the Bengals a few years for the media to believe they were winning games, or Seattle before they were concidered a good team. Hey for the 1st couple of years it was because they were in a weak division. It took a super bowl for people to take them serious.
