I'm unable to post the link to CNNSI, but Don Banks labels the B&G losers! Actually, I don't know how to post a link! Sorry!

Hopefully a moderator can add it later.


Did I miss a memo on us losing in FA or something?

Is Don Banks now doing his best Fat Lenny, or P. King?

It's real easy, backrow. Just copy and paste the URL from your browser.

I can bring the news, but I can't bring any skills to the computer table! I've heard the term URL, but I can't find that button on the keyboard. The mouse doesn't have any voice, so, I'm at a loss. I've disabled my speakers because I can't stand dings, bells and or whistles.

Now, due to watching the screen for so long, my eyes are going bad. I had to upgrade my reading glasses a while back.

I get stiff while sitting for long periods. My knees won't cooperate on steps. I get Arthur in my thumbs.

My hair is grey/white, and thinning.


Help, I've fallen, and can't get up!

if your eyes seriously do bother you, consider upping the refresh rate on your monitor or buying an LCD.

Thanks TG!

But I reach the big 55 mph speed limit this year. I believe it's AGE that is getting to me!

On the screen thingy, it's work-owned. Big gov't contract and all. No choice.

Haha...its ok. A URL is the address to the website. Like if you go to yahoo, you type in www.yahoo.com in the box at the top. What you would do to put the link on a post, is to go up to that box, and to copy what is the box, and put in the post.

Goodness, gracious, I'm asking a Boohoo! How is that work-release probation, home-incarceration, shock collar thing working for you?

"Even reserve tight end Fauria and backup quarterback Todd Collins got in on the money train."

Collins gets a two year 2.5 million$ deal (chooo chooo!?!?!)...
and fauria gets 800,000 in 2006 and 1 million in 2007....

This guy is reading headlines and not looking into any facts.

My favorite is one paragraph implying that the Antwaan deal was a poor one for us. And then the next paragraph he criticizes Pittsburgh for losing his him.

Do what?

You just can't win with these guys for a reason. Most of the writers for SI, ESPN and the like started off as beat writers, and at times their roots as homers come shining through. This definitely explains Peter King's anti-Skin bias, he covered the Giants for years. I mean King defends keeping Monk out of the Hall of Fame by saying that "Gary Clark was a bigger threat" all while forgetting that it was the quiet excellence of Monk who allowed Clark, Brown, Sanders, and all the other big play threats to do their jobs while he only caught the most balls in NFL history up to that point.

As for winners and losers in free agency, to put the Skins down as losers because they've figured out a way to keep attaining free agents and avoid the cap hell that has plagued other teams is ludicrous and I attribute it to one thing. Hate. The league hates Snyder because he took the Skins and made them the most profitable team in the league, because his revenue streams allow him to dish out $5 and $10 mil signing bonuses like bottled water while other franchises try to get the same results on the cheap.

Receiver Antwaan Randle El and linebacker Andre Carter also got hefty deals, and Washington opted to send both a third- and fourth-round pick to San Francisco in exchange for inconsistent receiver Brandon Lloyd. Even reserve tight end Fauria and backup quarterback Todd Collins got in on the money train.

The Redskins' set-the-market contracts are bound to catch up to them one day. My guess is it'll be after head coach Joe Gibbs calls it a career for a second time, in a year or two.

I read the article and his only reason for the skins to be a "loser" is that we spent money! This writter has no idea about how to look at moves in a football type manner. Our moves will help us to win games, point blank. I guess he is just bothered that Snyder and the skins can spend what he makes in a lifetime in a blink of an eye.
