PFT: LaCanfora to NFLN

[GTripp0012]

ProFootballTalk.com - NFLN Adds Another Insider

I assume, but cannot confirm, that he is leaving the WaPo.

Either way, since his declining amount of sources within Redskins Park became obvious, this was inevitable.

Great! Now he can criticize the Redskins on NFLN! Glad he's leaving the washington post.....his act was getting real old on RI.

Good riddance.

JLC may be sports writer, but his constant vendetta against the skins had long since grown tiresome. As a result, he lost all his "inside" sources and RedskinsInsider hasn't provided us with a sliver of inside information in a long time. Perhaps now, the Washington Post can actually get some legitimate sources and provide Inside information now - instead of just regurgitating other sources.

Hopefully Jason Reid won't follow in JLC's footsteps and give us accurate and honest information without letting it get personal.

I was going to say the same exact thing, just in about 120 less words.

My sarcasm meter was broken, giving BHA a hard time because of the length of his posts.

LOL that was great!

Love it. Absolutely could not stand that hack.

Im shocked the NFLN wants him.

[GMScud]

This is outstanding news. I guess the RI job will be Jason Reid's??

I always find I'm taking up for JLC. The Skins seem like a tough team to cover & he did a great job of getting info to us. True, this last year he didn't have the sources to break the stories, but that essentially is saying that at one time he did & the team adjusted to make sure things stayed in-house more.

Please at least distinguish between his opinion - the purpose of the blog - and his professional work as a reporter. I will agree that his opinion of the team soured more & more w/time & that showed through in his writing on the blog, but bottom line he still got a lot of stories to us before anyone else did.

I have a question for the warpath; do you want a reporter to do a GREAT job & constantly fill the RI w/info - good or bad, or would you rather have a reporter that just does his basic duties, gets a couple of quotes & doesn't ruffle any feathers?

I want a reporter who isn't a hatchet man for the biggest paper that covers my team. The Washington Post and Dan Snyder had been at war ever since he took away all of those season tickets and it seemed JLC's sole purpose was to bleed the Skins at any and every chance.

His bias and axe to grind bled over into his work reporting plenty of times. He'd always throw a jab in at Snyder and/or Cerrato. I'm not taking up for them, but be a professional. It was clear that his bias clouded his writing.

He also went out of his way to fluff for his sources/favorites. He wrote glowing things just in the past year about Derrick Frost, Leigh Torrence and Demetric Evans like they were Pro Bowlers that just weren't given a chance to shine. Please. They were obviously his guys and he fluffed for them. It was pathetic. Not at all sorry to see him go.
