I've seen this before on different scales around the league. People here something, and then assume it's right and then spread it around for a little jest.

Ill start believing a rumor when it's not a RUMOR Till then, i'm just going to enjoy the game this Sunday and the rest of the season.
Yeah but this info is coming from reliable places. If you are waiting for Shanny to come out and say he has lost the team or for Griff to come out and say he is not happy it aint gonna happen
Im with ya about enjoyin the game though.

The fact of the matter is that all big market teams face media nightmares. In every sport. Winning makes them go away. If Washington had a problem as far as getting people to want to take the HC job it was Snyder. He seems to have backed off and let the football people do their job this time around, therefore, i would imagine, setting a precedent for any future regime.

Not if he fires Shanahan after 3 years. It would basically fall back directly into his pattern.

Sorry but that's just ridiculous. Three years is a lifetime in the NFL and everyone knows Mike's record here is abysmal. He's even seen as an expensive joke, which is worse than the simple joke I've been calling him lol.

To the contrary, showing Shanny the door indicates a franchise serious about getting on the right track and winning. And RG3 will attract coaching talent regardless. In fact I think potential HCs will jump at the opportunity, exactly the opposite what you believe.

Actually I never stated my belief in whether a coach would want to come here or not, but since you asked (not really but dickishly implying you knew my opinion on the matter will suffice), I think there are a ton of coaches who would embrace coaching this team. Snyder's money, coaching in a major market, the ability to coach RG3, the landscape of the division (2 declining & aging teams, 1 consistently mediocre team) and the rare opportunity to be an NFL head coach isn't something many would turn down.

What I believe is that Snyder is not going to make a move at the head coaching position this year absent us losing the remainder of our games in a devastating manner. As much as you're gonna hate it, a rookie QB, a young roster and major injuries to key personnel will be more than enough to buy MS another season (at least) at the helm.

Alright I'm admittedly confused. What were you referring to or implying with respect to replacing Shanahan?

...and I'm not a d!ck, I'm an a$$hole, you pu$$y

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

I was also wondering if anyone else knew that Mike Shanahan rode to two Super Bowl victories on the backs of Elway and Davis?

Right, because Elway and Davis owe none of their success at all to Shanahan. He just sat there twiddling his thumbs

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

Lastly, I was wondering if anyone can answer why Mike Shanahan gave away draft picks for McNabb if he was rebuilding????????


(sorry, with all the talk of rant, repeated arguements, beating a dead horse, beating a dog, feeding the dead dog his shit, him shitting it back out using it as manure to grow more dogs to feed their shit to just to shit it back out and used as manure again, I couldn't resist..........

ps- we should have a dog taking a dump smilie, and then one of a dog being fed his shit smilie!!!!!!

None of this will matter when the Jets fire Rex Ryan and we hire him
