"Curious" absence of a Post writer...

I always thought that journalists were meant to be objective.

Sally Jenkins is a columnist not a reporter. It's exactly her job to expouse her personal views in a column.

I wonder how many other NFL cities with local papers have a "columnist" that regularly bashes the local team and then scurries away and hides in a hole (like a snake)when the said team succeeds. I have no respect for cowards who can dish it out but can't take it and admit when they're wrong. Reminds me of the Bush government.

Having lived in a bunch of different cities I can tell you most local columnists bash the local team at one time or another. It sells papers.

I'm curious how you know she is hiding (and hiding from what?) and not off on another project for the paper, a book, health problem, family issue, etc..

What are you married to her? Having grown up in a military family I have traveled my whole life, so I have experience here too. I am going off of past history. We went 3-0 and heard nothing from her. She then chose to write a column after the 1st loss. This stuff happend all last year too. So
I'm curious how YOU know she's NOT hiding. As for those of you who are offended by wit, I'll try to use more "Adam Sandler" type humor for you all in the future.

I'm curious why you seem to be defending someone that is so obvious about her anti Redskins Bias. While she might be a columist, that does not excuse her lack of integrity. It's one thing to point out the mistakes the Redskins make, Like:

Bringing back Gibbs when the game has clearly passed him by
Signing the over the hill Brunell
The dumb trade for Santana Moss

If she had any integrity at all she would have already admited she was wrong. :smashfrea
