Can't take ESPN morons seriously at all. I bet if we all got together and had some Warpathers that knew how to do the lights, camera, action behind the scenes stuff, we could do just a good of a job as these guys. It is more show than anything. Why do you need all these commentators telling the real football fans what they already know? These guys are also market oriented, which is part of their job, being propaganda artists for the various pro leagues, et. THe Cowboys are "America's Team" or used to be and commands a bigger merchandising market share, etc than the Skins. It doesn't help, that like others have already said, that our own lunacy in the FO doesn't do anything but help us being the butt of jokes and jabs.

Yeah.. I'm glad we have a coach doing it his way, and the Redskins always have media up their ass more then other team.

Always been that way, but oh well.

I never knew it was ESPN's job to root for a team to lose to take another team off the hook.

Exactly who on ESPN said that?

Well I was hoping for a Dallas loss, because that put Arizona behind us on the draft boards. I think this is very important. If we want to draft a qb, being ahead oof Arizona is very important. I want them to loose there next two.

You already know they want/hope the Skins are in a position to dog them out. The media loves creating bad press for the Skins why? IDK Redskin = redheaded stephchild but it stinks b/c all the people who cant think for themselves eat up whatever they are told by the media and accept it as fact and then they open up dialogue and regurgitate that as if its based on their own opinions.

[redskinjim]

ya they all hate the skins but i remember who the cowboy fans are even the closet ones

[Dirtbag59]

It's not bias. To be honest if you're following the Skins on a national level it looks pretty bad. I mean does the Warpath have an anti-San Diego bias because AJ Smith won't trade us Vincent Jackson?

If the Redskins win and do things the right way people will give credit, being that it hasnt happened for 10 years you really cant blame people for bashing the team. I know ive made tons of lions jokes in my lifetime.

Skins will make a comeback, Shanahan knows what he is doing, it was just a mistake bringing in McNabb, other than that with the talent they have they have done about as well as they could. 2 starts with Sexy Rexy, 1 almost win with season high in points and 1 actual win. Id say thats a marked improvement.

Skins stink and so does Dallas, how is that an anti-redskins movement?

[tryfuhl]

I'm not so sure it's hate for the Skins as it is love for the Cowboys.. despite whatever Smoot tells you there's plenty of it there..

An "anti-Redskins movement??" lol. Please. They hate on the Skins sometimes, but it's pretty well deserved. We're a joke for the most part. Cowboys are, too.

Yeah, but I've never seen them openly hope one team loses to take another team off the hook.

The Skins losing and being a laughing stock points to only one person. Ever since he has owned the team he has made the Skins a laughing stock. And yes I am talking about Snyder. Since he has bought the team they have made 2 playoff appearances (I think). He has tried to buy a Championship every year and can't even get us to the playoffs. Here are a few of is idiotic examples:

1. In either his first or second year as owner he helped bring Deion Sanders to the team. This was of a couple years after his "Prime Time".

2. Most his choices or decisions concering the coaching staff for the most part has been awful. The teams front office is just as much of a joke as anything else. Other than Coach Gibbs, there hasn't been a coach to make it more than 3 years. Unfortunately, it's not all the coaches fault. Some of the coaches that have left are actually doing well with their other teams which proves that Snyder has no business running a NFL Team.

3. Signing the $100 Million Dollar Idiot who hasn't produced since he has been there. He his fat and lazy but smart enough to know that Snyder has sucker written all over his forehead when he signed him.

4. Then signing McNabb. That was probably the biggest mistake of all. He is injury prone and well past his prime. Why do you think that Philly was so happy to see him go?

This is just a few of his embarrassing moments he has done to make the Skins the laughing stock of the NFL. It's not the team itself. The blame falls solely on him. He is another Jerry Jones. What do these teams have in common? Both teams are in trouble because of their owners. Snyder has no business owning an NFL Team. He is trying to build a team with money and not looking at the actual root cause which is the foundation. The Skins haven't had a solid foundation since he bought them. He's like a kid with ADHD. If the team doesn't produce within the first 2 years, then he makes changes ALL over hoping for better results. The only person he really gave a chance to was Coach Gibbs. Unfortunately, Coach Gibbs didn't really have what was needed to deal with the NFL players of today. And then he had the "Best" (sarcasm here by the way) defensive coordinator in the league with Greg Williams who took a team whose defense was ranked #2 his first year and started changing personnel. And this personnel was there before he got there. The defensive ranking slipped each year to nearly the bottom of the NFL under his control. He said his defense could be used with any personnel. So he started getting rid of the key players like Arrington, Trotter, Smoot, Bailey and so on. As he did the defense slipped. He tried to prove his system would work without them, but he horribly failed. He tried to prove his system would work with anyone and it failed.

These are just some of things Snyder has done to make the Skins a mockery of the NFL. I know a lot of you won't agree with my statements. And I am stating most of this from memory so I might be a little off on a few things. I just know that ever since Snyder has bought the team, they have gone downhill. They used to be a contender every year for the playoffs. Now they seem to be more like a stepping stone or speed bump.

Unfortunately, we will never be able to get rid of Snyder. But in my opinion he is the root cause of MOST of problems. Maybe one day he will wake up and realize that the changes need to start with HIM!!!!
