The Bitch is Back (Sally Jenkins)

[CrazyCanuck]

What a shock. Careful all, she sounds quite aroused.

"Perfect Tommy is chasing perfection. You can see that in his perfect eye black, so straight it looks like he puts it on with a ruler, and those perfect passes traveling along their javelin-straight paths downfield. But never mind the perfect jaw, and the perfect hair, and the perfectly modest and self-effacing attitude. Those are just the externals. It's the internals that make Tom Brady so good, and frankly what he has in his guts isn't nearly so handsome. It's a taste not just for perfection but for total defeat, and it's something that his opposite, young Jason Campbell, will learn from, once he gets over the humiliation."

Ha! I totally was going to mention this--OF COURSE this is the week she rears her ugly head. To tell us how great the Pats are and how bad we are. Thanks, Sal. And the WPost pays you to do this?

Someone like JLC or Wilbon or Boswell are entitled to rip on the skins when they do bad because they also write on the good things. But Sally only comes out to rip. Salt on the wounds Sally. Thanks.

Because of fans like us, The Post will hire and pay Sally. She causes interest and argument, but in the end we are still reading and talking about the Post, so they win.

I love how, before last week, the word most frequently used to describe what J-Cam brings to this team was "composure", yet now all the journo's are taking shots at that and questioning that composure.

Dude, you do realize that this is a Redskins fan site, right? To not expect us to get pissed with a woman like Sally is a little unrealistic.

I think the "lol" indicates that Pain does indeed realize this is redskins fan site.

lol

Of course I do.. Did you read the article? She's right out of sportswriter 101, restate the obvious (Brady is good, Redskins organization pales in comparison to Patriots organization), insert some inflammatory rhetoric to fire up the masses (digs at Campbell's poise), retreat to cozy NY apartment and watch the fireworks.. She does it every year and ever since I've been a memeber of the board I've seen a thread like this..

[skinsfan0201]

She can be pretty annoying at times I agree, she was right on a few points though I do not always agree with her.

Forget Jane Fonda, Sally Jenkins=Commie Bitch

thanks and i for one really don,t care for those in the media who try to start stuff to get a story for their papers.but if it makes her feel better about things going on in her life then good for her...

just trying to call it like i see it and she is no different.


thanks

Yeah I read it. Sorry, I guess I misinterpreted your earlier post.

The point is not that Jenkins made some correct (though obvious) observations. The point is, where was she after the Detroit game? After Philly? Why now and not (also) then? Every season she writes a few pieces and, by amazing coincidence, it's after loses. That's my issue.

BTW, I don't read her on principle. Stating the obvious after a loss does not good reporting make--and this is NOT, by a long shot, the first time. I just don't see what she brings to the paper, at least as far as the skins go.
