Redskins Hatters In The Media

Point being, he's not happy. What else is new?

Honestly not sure why I was so concerned, since I don't even listen to any of the local sports pundits. It's their job to get ratings, so whatever works for them.

I haven't lived in the area for years now, but was streaming 106.7 at work the other day and B Mitch was just a complete nonsensical jerk to the point I turned it off and will now only try and stream the Junnkies in the AM if I can remeber to do it. It is sad, I thought a lot of the vendetta(sp) stuff was because of Snyder's fantasy football experiment. Now there is direction and these guys still want to flame away at every oppurtunity. Sorry I will not be adding to those Neilson (or any other) ratings numbers for these bottom feeders.

A thread about people in the media worth listening to would be great also IMO. Especially for the people removed from the area.

I totally agree with you. I sit around and hear all the bad mouthing of the team and think I'm sitting in Dallas country. There has to be a happy medium between all the negative media nannies and Larry Michael who seems to have his head so far up the Teams arse that he can't even begin to acknowledge there might be a problem.

I think the Junkies are somewhat fair only because there are 4 guys who don't always agree with each other. So you get different oppinions. Mitchell is all negative. I think he'd be better served to go report for the Eagles since he does nothing but praise them. Lavar has nice things to say when he's siding with a players point of view, but the team as a whole or when talking about DS he's negative.

The National media is sick. They only want to talk about the Eagles and Jets and how they are going to do so well. As Orakpo said.... I'm glad no one is talking about the Skins. Let them stay under the radar.

I'm a serious Redskins hatter too. And just to prove it, I took a picture of all my Redskins hats. What do you guys think?

Really? He said that?

My issue is for 10 yrs we have heard nothing from the media but how the Skins were trying to buy a championship. Last year and this year Allen not only found a way to keep us out of CAP hell he brought in cheap talent other then McNabb. This year alone has shown they are not on the same old path by how they turned 5 picks into 12 and brougt in cheap talented vets. So what really does the media want? They complained about the Skins spending sooo much money on vets and trying to buy a championship, and when the Skins finally stop doing that they again ridicule the Skins saying they had a bad offseason and won't do well? WTF?

Is it because the Skins didn't go out and pick up a QB like all the media pundits said we needed and had to have? The Skins didn't do what they said the Skins needed to do so they have turned on the Skins?

Does Buffalo have the same problem with their winningless team? What about Cinci? I don't know about the rest of you but I hardly hear the media bad mouth Cinci like they do the Skins. But it's obvious tue media doesn't like a team to go out and buy all the big names in order to win it all right? Wrong, just look at the love fest over the Eagles and Jets this year. They did what the Skins have done and everyone is all over their jocks this year talking about they are going deep into the playoffs with what they picked up.

I can only hope the cohesiveness is not there and they bomb, and the Skins do better and atleast make it into the playoffs just to rub it in.

In defense of the Eagles, for them that is not the norm. They won't draw the same scrutiny as a team that for more than a decade has tried the same formula and been nothing more than a consistent loser. The Eagles have been consistent winners over the same period the Redskins have been losers.

The media, like most fans will always heap praise towards the winner. In many ways their criticism/s only serve to echo the often expressed sentiments of the fans.

10 years of winning and four NFC Championships buys you some leeway.

I like your view points

[SmootSmack]

As a fan, I think the media is inconsistent...as a member of the media, I think fans only hear what they want to hear, don't pay close enough attention to what's being said and tend to greatly genearalize

Either way, they could heap praise on the Redskins (we could heap praise on us?) at 2-14 or hate us at 14-2. I'd rather take the latter

The Junkies are actually jerks, B Mitch is not (not in my opinion at least)

I, generally don't have a problem with B. Mitch, he calls it as he sees it and, although critical, usually they are fair criticisms. Haven't heard him this year, though.

At times, however, I do get tired of his "you didn't play, so you don't know nothing" attitude.
