i believe nfl teams have to disclose a certain level of info re injuries on a weekly basis (i.e. pats sayins player X has a body injury ...) but if i was a coach, the less i know the less i dislcose the less i have to talk to the media about

So I decided to watch, and man he's really an a**. Watch from 0:20 to 0:40, I bet you think it's worse when you see his body language and hear him.

WATCH: Chip Kelly press conference | NJ.com

Granted a lot of it is more about the the press but this was 20seconds in and the 2nd question. I can not imagine him handling the Washington media for 1 press conference.

C i listened from the start to about the 2 min mark (im at work)

he seemed short and perhaps he should have done one of those fake precursors of "i dont mean to be short with you but i just dont care ...."

to me he said what he said - he lets the medical staff be medical staff and he doesnt try and understand what a 32 strain or whatever is, he as a football coach and just wants to know whether he can play or not ..

Why is FOX45 showing (or not showing) Redskins Games? FOX45 strives to broadcast as many Redskins games as are available to us. The FOX network follows the AWAY NFC teams each week. CBS follows the AWAY AFC teams each week. Here`s how you can tell if FOX45 will be showing the Redskins:

If the Redskins are away or playing an NFC team at home in the afternoon, then the game would be on FOX.

If the Redskins are playing at home, against a visiting AFC team in the afternoon, then the game would be on CBS. If the Ravens - the market`s home team, are playing at home in the afternoon against an AFC team, then the game will air on CBS and FOX45 will not be able to show ANY game at the same time - even if FOX has a national double-header weekend scheduled.

If the Ravens - the market`s home team, are playing at home in the afternoon against an NFC team, then the Ravens will most likely air on FOX45 at that time, even if a Redskins game is scheduled at the same time.

IMPORTANT EXCEPTION: If the FOX network offers a game that may have playoff implications for The Ravens, the market’s home team - FOX45 may opt to air this division or conference game in lieu of a Redskins game. These rules are set forth by the National Football League and are unfortunately beyond much of our control. Some Redskins games will undoubtedly not be carried on FOX45 due to these restrictions and we apologize to our viewers for this inconvenience.

Why doesn`t FOX air any other games when the Ravens are playing? NFL broadcast rules prohibit stations from airing any games while the home team is playing at home.

Jay Gruden and this clown are night and day. I listened to the whole thing and it's really hard to like the guy. Granted, I'm a Redskins fan, but he looks like a guy that's difficult to get along with. Like I said yesterday, I bet Kelly loses his team's support if they ever start losing.

Something I noticed right away is that Kelly is a gum-chomper. That sh*t really grinds my gears. I don't mind silent closed-mouth gum chewers at all, but if you're a chomper, GTFO. That didn't help my immediate impressions of him at all.

24 Skins
17 Eagles

I actually don't mind Kelly's response regarding injuries... you get bombarded with them during press conferences.

I can appreciate only caring whether the guy is going to play or not.

i hope our defensive front can wack Napoleon Dynamite a few times. Hes such a goofball i cant stand philly. I hope we find a way to pull it out. Mychal Kendricks may be out Morris is gonna be the xfactor yet again plug him in your FF lineups (like you didnt have him in anyway) because hes gonna be rolling.

Jordan Reed (hamstring) remained sidelined at Friday's practice.

Reed isn't going to play this week, leaving tight end duties to Niles Paul once again. Paul is a high-end TE2 with TE1 upside this week in Philadelphia.

per rotoworld.

Sucks, but looks like Paul probably in this week. Kinda hoping Reed was going to return.

Except, they have regularly broadcast Skins and Ravens games at the same time in the past. In past years, I always preferred weeks when Ravens played away because it meant I got four games broadcast. Consistently.

I know their are additional restrictions for "Game of the Week" designations but as far I can tell, there is absolutely no reason for Baltimore to NOT broadcast the game this week.

In past years, this was a week I could count on watching the Skins. In fact, the few times they bumped the Skins in such situations it was because they were broadcasting a Philly game and claiming that a substantial portion of their demographic preferred the Philly game over the Skins.

Honestly, this is either a conscience choice or something else out of the ordinary at work. (FYI - They are broadcasting American LeMans Racing in Austin Texas instead of football).

Those games do appear at the same time, sometimes, for the same reason - Fox and CBS have worked that out at the corporate, not local, level. And they do so in order to keep the Fox-CBS balance.

Look here, you can see the whole season charted out in advance, without any input from your local affiliate:
506 Sports - NFL

[JoeRedskin]

That's just the listings of channels and the designated nationally televised games.

Follow the links for each week and the only one "mapped out" is the upcoming week.

Joe, look closely and you'll see the Fox-CBS balance that I keep talking about. If CBS (or Fox) gets just one extra game, the other side will cry foul for the money involved. Doesn't this make sense? If I am wrong, how else do Fox and CBS keep the balance which obviously must be kept?

Otherwise, I'm done with this issue.

[CRedskinsRule]

I do believe it is all strictly defined (JR being a lawyer, you would think he would like how precisely it's all worded)

This week, I believe the key is that it's an AFC double header week. Since that's the case and Baltimore is the early game and away, the Fox station is showing the 2nd game. Given the game choices, if there were discretion, I can't imagine Baltimore choosing SF-Arizona over Wash Philadelphia. Especially considering SF-Arizona is competing head to head with Denver v Seattle.

I remember 506 used to have all the rules listed somewhere on there site, but i couldn't find it now.

You are all probably right. I am just frustrated and would like to blame someone in this one-horse town for it.

I really had no clue of what a shitty situation that is for y'all. That's terrible, surprised nothing can be done. Write Snyder and the organization.

You need to write CBS and Fox since they drive this situation.
