Yet another reason why Cris Carter is a moron

[CRedskinsRule]

In football, I think you measure success by the win/loss record. If the team goes 10-6 or 11-5 and wins the east, that's a success-- regardless of preseason prognosticators, if the go 5-11 or 6-10, that is a failure -- again regardless of preseason prognosticators.

It frustrates me that others see this team as a bottom tier team, when I don't feel that way, but I certainly understand why they do, and in the end don't really care much either way. I just want the Skins to win.

Success in the NFL is based on wins and losses... period.

I'll remember that when we are discussing how a player does in a game or season. Well not WE persay but when you're discussing the performance of a player.... Exclamation point
Lol

You lost me.

When YOU are discussing how successful a player does I will refer back to your wins = success opinion.

At the end of the day it's about wins and losses when talking about a team. You should know this

Football, out of all the sports, is not as simple as this. That's what makes football so great. Think NFL Films

C'mon now the Skins the worst in the league? I think Cowher is doing what a media person's job is and that is to create controversy to get folks talking and generate listenership/viewership. If you notice, the new thing in Hollywood happens to be negative press. Stars coming out saying they have a drug/booze problem, or were molested as kids or recently how some were victims of bullys at school, etc. Or just stars making asses out of themselves. Just anything to garner headlines. I mean look, what are we talking about in this forum what so and so said about Megatron and the Skins. Who friggin cares!!!!!

Aren't these the same morons who pick the Cowgirls to win the SB almost every year? Who gives a rat's ass?

If Mosley was/is a 'Skins fan, I'll give him credit, because he hid it extraordinarily well. But he seemed to give dominant coverage on the blog to the Cowboys, win or lose. Maybe it was because he lived in Dallas, wrote for the local Dallas paper, and obviously was well connected inside the Cowboys, but I always felt like his allegiances were to the Cowboys. He used to justify it by saying Cowboys fans had a large presence on the blog, but I always felt like since it was the NFC East blog, fair coverage to all four teams should be expected. His opinions on the Redskins were always of the negative-lukewarm variety, which never helped his cause, and he never covered us as often as he did the other 3 teams.

As far as Dan Graziano goes, I've really started to enjoy reading the blog ever since he took over. IMO he's shown fair and balanced coverage to all four teams, and he has shown an even-keeled opinion as far as the 'Skins go. He's not a 'Skins basher by any stretch of the imagination, and I feel like our coverage is better than what Mosley did. While it's safe to say he's not on our jock, it's nice to see us get some attention from a blogger on the national level.

Anyways as I was saying, if Mosley is a 'Skins fan, than I'm severely mistaken. But in this day and age most bloggers have no problems admitting where their allegiances lie, and Mosley is the first that I've heard of to keep his hidden, all the while appearing to have close ties with his favorite team's hated rival.

I don't think he likes NFL football as much as college ball, but yeah he likes (liked?) the Skins. I prefer Graziano as well, but the wealth is spread fairly equally.

Guy who runs ESPN.com-Skins fan. One of the top editors for the NFL page-Skins fan. One of the main NFL writers for CBS Sports-Skins fan. Me-Skins fan. Local insider for Redskins coverage-Cowboys fan. It's why I laugh when people say certain people obviously hate the Skins. They just don't know
