At what point do things stop being rumors and become facts with you? Just curious. It's been obvious the team has had individual blowups with no disciplinary action whatsoever. There has been a noticeable lack of intensity the last couple of weeks. Shanahan practically said he was throwing in the towell on the rest of the season no matter how he tried to explain it afterward. SS reported on the friction between Fletch and a couple of other players with Haslett. And SS said he already knew some of this was going on and wasn't surprised by some of the rest. Just curious what it takes for something to stop being a rumor and becoming a fact in your eyes. I heard the economy sucks and unemployment is high....I guess we'll have to wait and see on that one too huh?

I will say this. Every team, even the best, has some friction. The best teams are the ones that keep it relatively irrelevant

The Giants are the exception. This is the first year in ages that I don't remember "Coughlin should be fired!" talk at the mid-point of the season, right before they scrape together a playoff or Super Bowl run. Now that they're on a mini-losing streak, maybe they'll start showing up.

Every year it's a mutiny with their fans and media (NY media...it's to be expected).

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

No matter how you feel about MS and company. Too many sources are reporting that there are issues at the R Park and if you are true Skins fan that is just sad to hear. I was really hoping we were on the right path this go around.

I was really hoping that Shannahan was going to turn this thing around.... Just seems we are getting worse as the year goes on.

The Wizards Ernie? He has no business talking about the Skins. If there is a joke of a franchise in DC it is the Wizards.

Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

I wonder if there has ever been a losing team that doesn't have internal strife. Nobody likes to lose. It raises the level of stress and tension in any organization. Winning some games would quickly get things back in order.

We need to find the next Jim Harbaugh and a young Bill Polian.
