Sally J.'s latest is spot on

embrace the hate.

This article is indeed spot on. The owner's role is to hire the right people and then let them do their jobs without undue interference. That's what Jack Kent Cooke did.

As fans we can defend Snyder and the management, and always question those who challenge the status quo with the team, or we can exercise our voice to demand changes. Enough public outrage does effect them. They stopped the lawsuit against the grandmother they had forced into bankruptcy over the tickets, for example, thanks to public pressure.

We have to demand a real general manager, first and foremost, someone who is given the freedom to do their job, if we want positive changes.

In 2005 Sally definitely had an axe to grind. Every time they suffered a tough loss she wrote a column and then dissappeared after they made their run but I think her last several Redskins related articles have been spot on.

I agree, I read her article last night and am of the opinion what she had to say only echoes what she's said many times before, as well as the opinions expressed by many here from time to time, see last thread on Snyder. Her opinion IMO is not an attack on Snyder personally, it's the truth, and sometimes the truth hurts some people.

She is spot on, but everyone has been saying this for the last 5-6 years. This is not breaking news anyone, move on along.

She does have an axe to grind, and notice how she jumps on the opportunity to write a negative Skins article which backs her original argument. She has very little to say when we do well, and alot when we are struggling. I am sick of her, and what she is saying isn't rocket science. Any Skins fan knows that.

F you Sally

How so ? If it was just grinding an axe, before how is it spot on now ?

Because in 2005 (which was 4 years ago) she was hyper-critical even though they were doing some good things. I see her commentary now as much more facts based and also we have more history to judge the shortcomings of the front office.

MonkFan4Life · 10-01-2009, 10:17 AM

I wish I had Old Danny that made Sally and everyone else act the way that they do now during the offseason because then I'd probably be a happy camper.

Sally is the queen of negativity and the master of the obvious mostly so it's not hard to be spot on in this instance.

And our mediocre franchise is right in her sweetspot.

Speaking of things that are spot-on, who could forget Vinny Cerrato's spot-on portrayal of police seargent Antonelli in the highly underrated gem, "Kindergarten Ninja".

I don't disagree with much of what she says, but she has way to much of a problem with DS to be taken seriously. He MUST have pissed in her cornflakes somewhere along the way.......

MTK · 10-01-2009, 10:25 AM

Well at least she's not banging on who Snyder hangs out with. I can live with what she said in this article.
