Idiotic, Skin-Hating Journalist Watch
 

Don Banks is always a candidate for the douchebag journalist of the week award and this week is no different. Check out the below link.

First, Banks disputes the 15 yard penalty on Kyle Kosier for grabbing Sean Taylor's facemask. Banks believes that it should have been a 5 yard penalty and asks why it was a 15 yard penalty. Apparently, this idiot doesn't realize that grabbing a facemask and twisting the head, even for a moment, results in a 15 yard penalty.

Then, Banks takes the opportunity to remind everyone of Gibbs' record since he's been back in D.C.

Finally, Banks praises Roy Williams and implies that he is not overrated.

Please post other examples of douchebag journalists here.

Banks must not watch the games. I took so much pleasure in the plays that Roy Boy screwed up today. My neigbors participated too! HA HA HA HAH A

Theres no real reason but i hate Chris Colinsworth last year when we were making a run at the playoffs on Inside the NFL he acted like we sucked in our highlight reels, just never like him

Re: Idiotic, Skin-Hating Journalist Watch
 

there were so many bad calls that went in dallas' favor it is just dumb to point out the facemask, which i think was iffy call. can they call a hold on dallas? of course journalists will not point this out, and the sports stations do not show any skins highlights until the blocked kick, all dallas before that. very sad

Re: Idiotic, Skin-Hating Journalist Watch
 

I love how he questions our coaching staff, as if he's the first guy to wonder if there are "too many cooks in the kitchen," or whatever. Why don't you consult every other article written about the skins this year for examples of other people raising this question first.

Re: Idiotic, Skin-Hating Journalist Watch
 

Jeez he sure sounds bitter, wonder how much he lost on that game.

Re: Idiotic, Skin-Hating Journalist Watch
 

What an f-ing retard. But it's hard to be surprised when some media dumbass starts hating on the Skins. Just gotta roll with the punches and prove them wrong and let the play do the talking.

My thought exactly. Especially since he looks like... well nevermind.

Here's a good one:

"Did that look like a guy who's really enjoying himself in his renaissance tenure in D.C.? For the record, Gibbs is now 19-21 in his first 40 regular-season games of this second stint as Redskins head coach."

Does this sound like a journalist who knows anything about Joe Gibbs or the Washington Redskins? There have been exactly three times when Gibbs has "enjoyed" the actual games. At least in the shallow sense that the writer implies. That was when the Skins were kneeling on the ball in the three Super Bowl victories.

I don't understand were this "it should have been 5 yard plenty " talk is coming from. This whole thing really grinds my gear. I mean, Taylor's head was turned 90 degrees. Kosier clearly went for the face mask to try to bring him down. Incidental face is when you have a guy in your grasp and put you hand on his face mask without tugging on it as you bring him down.

Re: Idiotic, Skin-Hating Journalist Watch
 

im not big on bashing williams. i normally think he is a pretty good safety. but he had a lousy game yesterday. it was almost like the skins were going after him

Re: Idiotic, Skin-Hating Journalist Watch
 

Well of course they were going after him, they know he's the weak link in that secondary when it comes to coverage.

Hey guys, cool it with Dawn Banks. I happen to know from conversations with her husband that she is currently going through her monthly cycle. She's just writing emotionally right now. She'll be alright in a week or so.

There are pictures floating around that clearly show his head getting wrenched to the left. Not a call really worth discussing, certainly not any worse than all the blown non-calls against us.

What's Parcell's record? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Funny that he doesn't mention Parcells' mediocre record in Dallas which is now 29-27.

Awesome Thread!

Re: Idiotic, Skin-Hating Journalist Watch
 

i wish that i could just find this guy and cuss him out. that would be so fun!

Re: Idiotic, Skin-Hating Journalist Watch
 

Don Banks is the same guy who called us the "worst 3-0 team in the history of football" isn't he?

Yep that's him.

I know we all jump the gun a bit sometimes if someone talks trash about the Skins, but this guy is downright ridiculous with how bitter he is. He spent so much energy trying to explain away that win by the Skins, meanwhile I guarantee had the Cowboys won in that same manner he would be drooling all over Parcells and the Cowboys.

Re: Idiotic, Skin-Hating Journalist Watch
 

Speaking of drooling, does anyone else think that Tony Romo is starting to get wrinkled from all the slurping all over him?

Yeah that lovefest was getting out of hand yesterday. It was Romo vs. the Redskins.

Re: Idiotic, Skin-Hating Journalist Watch
 

140 of his yards came on third down. I prefer to think it was us laying down rather than him "scorching" us. He'll get to see a damn good secondary next week. Hopefully the Cards can steal one from them next week and we win and instantly move back into contention.
