ESPN reports skins have "no chance"

[dgack]

I actually love TSG, he's a humorist who writes about sports. If he was based out of DC, he'd be full-time homering for us instead of all the Bahstin teams. I don't think that's malicious or anything.

I know we're going all Gilbert Arenas and on every journo who has an opinion that doesn't involve us beating all challengers and trying to turn this into motivation and bulletin board material, but at some point we have to realize that a lot of people just talk about things they really don't have much investment in or knowledge of, because they're asked to rip off an opinion.

I mean, I don't know much about baseball but if someone asked me to write a column about it, I'd probably write something funny that would deeply offend a bunch of fans of various teams around the league, without really trying to. And similarly I get the distinct impression that Simmons really doesn't know jack about the Skins, and is just sort of blathering.

Anyway, never attribute to malice what can more easily be attributed to incompetence. A good maxim to live by
