If you say so.

Yeah, it's a rehash of olds news with more details. Again, I find the timing to be pretty curious. Hours before the start of the season we have an article that digs up a 2 year old story. Perhaps it's the WaPo sensing they have one last chance to poke at the old regime before this team makes us forget all that nonsense.

he didn't like his coach that wasn't very good, so he got advise from a superbowl winner?

I mean, the staff (mike/bruce) is a lot better now, so who cares. portis is gone, haynesworth is gone, mcnabb is gone. the team is playing well.

interesting story, but there's nothing more beyond that.

Time to put BS like this to bed?

I think so.

Please go ahead and lock it. Seriously I don't see what here is really amazing or groundbreaking? These are all rumors we heard about, now we have more insight due to a salty and hurt VC. A nice read to get a glimpse of the details, but that is about it IMO.
