did willie touch you in the no-no spot? :confused:

the truth hurts, hopefully we can change this type of menatality here. i really don't think parker gave his comments much thought or meant them as a dig towards the redskins franchise or it's fans. i think he was just hyping up his former team and showing their fans some love.

Their QB and (former) kicker are known to be party animals, but maybe Willie didn't hang out with them. Just like when he was here, I'm sure he didn't spend a ton of time with Fletch, PD, and Lorenzo Alexander.

all while talking bad about his most recent teammates and fans? Not the way to do it, if that's what he wanted to do.

Parker was referring to the COMMITMENT of the players to the craft. It is NOT that partying is unacceptable, it is the favoring of partying so much that our players were uncommitted to football that was the problem.

Rapistberger, despite his alleged raping excursions, DOES dedicate himself to his craft. Hence, even after his suspension, they reached the Super Bowl ONCE AGAIN.

Their kicker? Dude, kicking is one of the "lightest" jobs in football in terms of knowing what to do.

And besides, he also said something to the effect that if one dude tried to get them to talk about and be about football, it was like trying to move a freaking mountain. It just didn't get through.

No one is so ****ing immaculate that criticism is not deserved, especially for the Redskins. If someone is a ugly mutt, then he IS AN ugly mutt. The person who said it stated a fact.

pretty much what he said

I know this team has had its issues, but it is not like we're the Bengals of a few seasons ago when they had a ton of players arrested and a whole bunch of head cases on their team. Personally, I don't care much what Parker says given that a.) he sucked while he was here with the team and b.) he was here for just a couple of months.

Personally, I feel that with this draft Shanahan is showing that he truly wants to change the culture of the team by bringing good character guys (that can still play). I do hope that he continues this by getting rid of McNabb and Haynesworth.

What most Redskins fans succumb to when dealing with criticism.

Groupthink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[SirClintonPortis]

Organizational culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Parker is a brighter bulb than most think. After all, other companies(i.e Enron, Saloman Brothers) have been downed because of their shit culture.

Also, the actual quote was "they weren't about football, they were about partying".

[KI Skins Fan]

Report on the Salute to Congress Dinner, February 1985:

"Riggins provided one of the evening's most memorable moments when he called across the table to the Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor: 'Come on, Sandy baby, loosen up. You're too tight.' Riggins, who complained of back pains during the dinner and at one point asked for an adjustment to his chair, got up and walked around, kneeled next to Justice O'Connor's husband, John, then dropped to one elbow and finally stretched out altogether, poking his cowboy boots under a guest's chair.

One guest said Riggins had slept for about an hour, first on his back and later on his stomach, snoring occasionally. After the speeches were concluded, Riggins was roused and escorted from the room."

If there had been a game the next day, he would have probably run for 100 yards and two touchdowns.

Willie who?

Who cares, go back to Pittsburgh, doubt they'd even want you.

Not sure why you guys are hating on Willie Parker, but the guy is telling the truth. So what he pretty much finished as a player in the league, does that mean what he said isn't valid? He's just one of many that have said the same thing over and over.

My guess is, if some of these "club scene" gurus didn't party all night, they wouldn't have to sleep in meetings.





The good news is, they are being removed slowly but surely. (D. Thomas is a prime example)

[NYCskinfan82]

WP is a A hole, he calls us a party team and he still couldn't make the team LOL.

[CRedskinsRule]

Yet another reason why I like our draft and the fact we brought in a lot of team leaders. Hopefully Fletch and PD will pass the torch to a new generation of Skins that wants to win.

He'd probably know better than any of us what it was like. He doesn't say, of course, if he partied with the rest of them.

I don't interact directly with the current team anymore but I do know that there is a certain reputation around the league about the team..well I should say, was a certain reputation. I do believe it is changing. Most of the "abusers" are gone.

But the Redskins have had a seesaw culture (if that even makes sense). I was there during the Turner, Marty, and Spurrier years.

And I've talked about this before.

Norv-bless his heart he really tried, but he just couldn't command any respect. Mainly because he didn't try to earn it, so much as he tried to force it upon everyone without really proving he deserved it

Marty-took a while to earn people's respect, but he got it

Spurrier-he just wanted to coach football and there was no discipline at all during this time. 2002 was my favorite year covering the Redskins. Non-stop partying. I've mentioned here how I used to get phone calls from players during meetings...during their meetings, not mine. Heck, I used to plan parties for these guys "Come to Rod Gardner's Birthday Party...Live at the Ibex!"

Gibbs-Well, by now I was gone but by all accounts instant respect and accountability

Zorn-As I've heard it, very similar to Norv. But then what made it worse was Cerrato above him

Anyhow, I don't doubt what Parker was saying may have been true last spring. But I don't know if it is so much now

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... You're directly responsible for the failure during the Spurrier era...
