Re: Some positive press for once..
about the original article...THATS WHAT SPORTS WRITERS SHOULD DO.
Seems all of them today just write what they think, nothing more. Its rare that an article will give facts, quotes, and explain the feelings of the people involved. Instead they take a situation and either rip it or praise it, nevermind the reasons the team/player/coach had in the situation. Look at peter king, len paskerwellie, and the morons on cbs.sportsline, their articles look similar to what you find trolls writing on message boards, or mal contents posting in their blogs. Seriously, look at what they have said recently about the skins. King has gone so far as to accuse the skins of cheating and called for an investigation into their cap/payroll. HE IS THE TOP NFL GUY for his company? Thats something a 22 year old in dallas writes in his blog. King says amost nothing of the team, the roster, the coaches, their plan, or anything like that. He doesn't quote anyone, and shows no sign of actually speaking with anyone from the skins...yet he writes about them constantly with never the slightest positive angle. I want more sports writers like Lewis Grizzard...funny, and told the story from every reasonable side.

Re: Some positive press for once..
I have to say, even though, like you, I hear the neg skins stuff daily, it sometimes shocks me (comma's are your friend). Living in SW Florida, naturally, I don't get the same slant as I did growing up in Maryland. I am still stunned by some of the garbage. I primarily listen to three sports stations. None are particularely favorable of the Skins. Today, a sportscaster stated "the cowboys would be MUCH improved this season". next sentence "the Redskins just keep signing players. I don't know what they are doing"? I CANNOT imagine what they are thinking as the skins signings have all been quality players that fill GLARING needs from last season. WTF is wrong with these NINNY'S?????
oh well, I'll just have to go with John Clayton, and Mel Jr. they seem to know what is up Thanx for the Rant!
