Re: Has the WP decided attacking the Skins is good for business?

I think she and JLC need to realize as well as some on many of the boards.....you either build through the draft as NE has in the past and picked up low costing vetrans in hopes they still have a little in their tanks, or you build through FA. When you have a team that has terrible scouts and can't find a snow flake in a snow storm then your best bet is to build through FA where you have seen the players talent and he's probably gotten up to speed of the NFL.

There also is no way we could just start picking draft picks and not use FA especially when you have many holes to fill. Last year was great. Lets hope we keep all 4 or 5+ draft picks this year and perhaps find a gem who was undrafted. Hopefully next year we have all 7 picks and can keep doing the same. Problem was in years past we seemed to pick 7 or 8 players and keep 2-3 on the roster.

I am sorta boycotting the WP. I used to get all my info from them. Especially when the draft approached and during training months. I have not purchased a WP in several months if not a year ago. My sole reason for buying it was for the sports section. Well and perhaps the funnies. lol. but I find myself looking at the local paper or none at all.
That is what i was thinking about with the thread title. With the Skins being the huge sports draw, and newspapers struggling for circulation dollars, I have to ask how it helps the Post to constantly attack the Skins?
This isn't politics, where criticism is a part of the news media, this is Sports! Doesn't every fan want to get a paper that is giving his/her team an upbeat report? So did the Post at some level say they were going to profit better from being seen as the opposition to Snyder and his Skins, or is this just personnel biases?
