I personally think Jim Rome is awesome. And I suspect that Carter and Salisbury would be regarded a bit more highly here if not for the "anti-Redskins slant." But there are so many on-air personalities, many of whom are very good.
But I mean it's pretty obvious how it works around here (and across the Internet message board world). When ESPN makes a "mistake" or has something not so nice to say about the Skins we're all over it (look at how many posts there were in the thread about Len P's article about Gibbs after he resigned). When the opposite happens we tend to be pretty quiet (look at how many posts there were in the thread about Clayton's article about Gibbs when he retired).
