Where is Sally Jenkins... here she is

I've been humble for so long, with such disappointing teams in the past, I'm enjoying the opportunity to actually feel good about the Skins, and express that vocally. There's nothing wrong with that.

As for being rude, I have no idea where you're coming from. SJ trashes the Skins all the time, and now she's nowhere to be found for the last 4 weeks. Nobody has a right to call her out on that, or it's rude to do so? I disagree.

Also, I call bullshit on her "busy" schedule which doesn't allow enough time to write about the Skins. She obviously had enough time to write the article after week 1. The bottom line is that she likes to criticize the team, and doesn't like to praise them. God forbid anyone criticize her for that!

yeah I don't get this we need to be humble BS. We're not the players... if they were talking mad trash I can see having a problem with that. But what's the harm in bragging on your 4-1 team??

Agreed Matty. There is passion in my fandom. I cannot, nor do I wish to be silent during this time of Redskin glory.

I personally don't like to prematurely brag on the Skins outside of our circle of fellow fans, but it's true that we're not the players. We can brag if we want. If the fan's/media's thoughts and opinions trickled down to the team and affected them, then we would be..... The Dallas Cowboys!!!

Our success should be enough for us, we are acting as if we won the super bowl...it's a long season guys, anything can happen. 4 wins is not enough to be talking the trash we're talking.
Stay humble folks.

Rude?....Yes, simply calling her a bitch is probably rude but she is a sports commentator or so she presents herself if she is writing articles about the Skins and if she is then I would like to think she should be objective about her reporting not one sided. So what if some people are calling her out. We have not heard from her since what week 1 and she is always trashing the Skins so ....where the hell is she with her objectiveness?
Atleast someone had the balls to ask her. You go Matty.

Good point jsarno, but to be honest with you I just hope the TEAM stays humble. Oh and hungry and heathy.

You must have read her columns on the Skins? Now those are rude. You can be 100% sure any local or national sportswriter that responds to an E-mail knows it could be plastered on the internet the next day. She's made more than a "comment", she's consistently trashed the Skins for several years and most of her columns are based VERY loosely in fact just smart-ass one liners against the organization.

We've waited a long time for this type of (what appears to be) consistent success. Everyone who supported what the FO is doing, Zorn, JC, etc. (and backed it up with facts) so far has been right and they have every reason to be happy and talk a little smack. We all know if the Skins were 0-5 or 1-4 the doom-n-gloomers would be bashing the FO, Zorn, JC and asking the rest of us how the "Kool-Aid" tastes and pointing out how wrong we were.

Great post.
Sometimes I lose sight of the fact we have a new generation of Redskins fans on this sight that never experienced being a fan of Superbowl champion Redskins team. I see it in the threads that applaud or wish injuries on the opposing teams players. I see it on all the shit trash talk after we win.
It is great to be happy about winning. But act like you have been there before. Nothing looks worse than than a classless winner. Leave that shit for losers like Philly that have NEVER won a superbowl.

There is nothing more satisfying as a Redskins fan to beat a great team that has all of its players healthy. That way the press or the other team can not make excuses that they would have won if their best players were healthy.

your joking right? Silly Jenkins is rude for not writing about the Skins doing good so far this season, not that I expected her too. As far as fans being excited and talking a lil trash, THATS WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOUR WINNING! Im not concluding a superbowl victory based on these wins.......yet. Our success is exciting, and we should celebrate it, bottom line. There is no shame in that. We are not just barely winning these games, were winning convincingly. Just looking at the scoreboard you would think the games were closer than they actually were, but their not. I for one am thrilled to death and refuse to bottle that up and be humble. That would be rude.

Rude?

I wasn't out of line in my original email to her, and there's nothing of a sensitive nature in the email exchange.

bitch

How does foot taste Sally?

[Hog1]

I don't get the rude thing? If you were hanging out some dirty laundry,such as Paris Hiltons' tape, that might be different. This was pretty sedate stuff (that unless she's an idiot) that she knew would be, as ALL email, have the potential to be shared.

[Defensewins]

We are winning because she is away. She is a freaking Mush.
Coincidence that she no longer covering the Redskins and the Skins are kicking ass.
She is now covering Palin/McCain and they have dropped in the polls recently.
Sally, stay in Alaska. Stay away from the Skins.

Rude...LOL. On the internet nothing is private, especially communication with someone you don't know.
