If you love soccer, why don't you go cover it an leave real football to a professional?

I'm very tired of his negativity--yes, sure, he doesn't have to be an over-the-top homer, but it just seems on most points, he takes the negative view. Why? If the jury is still out, why is this guy always betting agains the team that 98% of his readership love? I think he wants a job at one of the nationals--most likely ESPN. I recall him even kissing Pasta-belly's ass in a recent chat. That's really where he belongs. How did this guy get the gig? He's young. He doesn't really like football. He doesn't really like the redskins. Not much of a resume for the Post's lead skins reporter.

I suggests they hire Joe Crisp as a replacement. 10 times the integrity, knowledge, and writing ability. And, horror of horrors, he actually LIKES the skins. Just a thought!
