Here's the actual article and commments:

I agree with Gibbs's move to Brunell -- as well as with my friend, the Ol' Ball Coach, who used to say, "If one guy can't do it, try the other guy." What I do not agree with is Gibbs congratulating the fans at FedEx Field for making so much noise Bears QB Kyle Orton had trouble getting off his plays. I call that behavior bush league. In similar situations at NFL stadiums, the QB should step back and wait for the noise to subside, or until the home team is hit with a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.

So Gibbs should have criticized the fans for being too loud??

Talk about a guy who just doesn't get it.

This is one of the most retarded statements I've ever heard.

When was the last time the home team was hit with unsportsmanlike conduct? If we are EVER hit with that, then we really CAN talk about a referee bias.

Noise is something you're going to get in every stadium. Not only that, it's VERY subjective. What one ref might deem too loud another one would think is fine.

Redskins_P · 09-27-2005, 01:03 PM

Its called homefield advantage. What a joke.

RedskinRat · 09-27-2005, 01:03 PM

Bush League? How about 3rd grade book report level of journalism?

How loud was Texass Stadium? Did we whine?

What an idiot.

I thought you called that behavior "Home Field Advantage"

TheMalcolmConnection · 09-27-2005, 01:04 PM

Normally I don't send shitty letters. I think this one deserves a letter...

bjschmonsees · 09-27-2005, 01:07 PM

That's the dumbest thing ever published by the Washington Post.

I guess it would be better if games were played in empty stadiums, then...

Cheering loudly is what makes going to games fun!

I'm flabbergasted....

Look at his picture, the guy is a pencil neck geek. Typical press guy that never played the game. He probably got beat up alot as a kid.

The scary thing is that George Solomon is the head sports section editor if I'm not mistaken!

Moronic.

MTK · 09-27-2005, 01:20 PM

People have complained that FedEx isn't as rockin' as RFK used to be, we finally have a game where the crowd played a huge factor and some nitwit is calling out the fans calling it "bush league".

What an idiot!

This is just unbelievable. More than anything, 90,000 people teaming up to ruin the road qb's day is what gets me off about football.
