Sally Jenkins Strikes Again!

KI Skins Fan · 01-07-2014, 10:21 AM

In a horribly snide and over-the-top hateful column in today's Washington Post, Sally Jenkins goes out of her way to bash RGIII, Dan Snyder, and the Redskins. Here is the opening paragraph:

"Previous Washington Redskins coaches only had to deal with one divisive influence at the top of the franchise. Now there are two. The next head coach will have to cope not just with owner-supremo Daniel Snyder’s interference, but with the added complication of a 23-year-old boy emperor who believes he can dictate everything from the play-calling to what’s served at training table. You don’t like eggs? Take it up with Robert Griffin III."

Fire away!

More like Shanahan strikes again.

Pure garbage.

Why does she live in NYC, but write about Washington sports?

Yet somehow Griffin couldn't keep himself from getting benched

She didnt say anything that hasnt been reported over and over. The interesting thing is that nobody has disputed he claims.

You also notice that nobody has substantiated them, right? If these were legitimate claims then she would have quotes, dates, specific interactions, etc. rather than the one sided, clearly agendized statements from a 'source'.

C'mon, you have to be smarter than to just buy this stuff lock, stock and barrel, right?

The food stuff I dont really buy but there is no denying his rift with the WRs especially when RG always refered to Garcon as "the receiver". I was also surprised to almost never see him getting helped up by lineman so something might be going on there.

Is RG a diva, yes. Does he have a huge personality, yes. Does he get treated differently that the average player on the team, yes. I dont have a problem with any of this. The easiest way for him to make this all go away is to win. If he plays as bad in 2014 as he did in 2013 then this year's media blather about him will seem like a mouse fart compared to what we will see at this time next year.

When was the last time, if ever, that Sally Jenkins has been at Redskins Park? Does she even go to the games? All that needs to be said about her coverage of the Redskins is that Jenkins was probably the first pundit to go all in on the Zorn regime: Sally Jenkins - First-Class at Coach

It's clear as day that the Shanahan camp is feeding her this latest drivel to discredit Griffin.

Nationally they will eat this up all day everyday. This is what feeds the media beast.

Our hope among hopes is that RG III goes back to being straight awesome next year. If he can rebound with a third year al a Cam Newton all will be forgotten.

Amazing that some fans will eat it up too.

After all these years it's crazy that anyone takes her serious.
