2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 3)

SBXVII · 03-19-2010, 03:26 PM

As far as favoritism in the media..... I guess I'm wrong or out of line saying I think ESPN has a man crush on Dallas or that the Washington Post seems to love putting anything negative about the Skins or Dan Snyder in their paper?

If I ever wanted a more neutral media center I went to USA Today and read the paper. I used to go to the WP for all Redskins info up until about 4 yrs ago cause they had the most now I get all my info from the message boards. At least you get the positive stories along with the negative.

It's pretty bad when fans of other teams who visit this site pretty regularly are more neutral and even keeled vs. some of the media outlets. I will say that I've pretty much stopped watching "Redskins Nation" though. I still can't get past Larry sucking up to Cerrato all last season and trying to be fake posititve, or maybe it's just me not liking Larry anymore. Are there not any extremely hot women announcers out there who could do the job he does?

I will agree with the Larry statements. He is over the top postive, we could be 0-15 going into week 17 and he still be talking playoffs for the skins.

Barry Sims left without a contract today, but seems to be strongly considering the Skins

I think Porter is leaving contract-less as well

GTripp0012 · 03-19-2010, 04:11 PM

Well, with Sims it's not like he's got a bunch of options on the table. If we'll have him, he's coming.

Porter's options are strangely limited as well. I'd imagine he'll choose Arizona, eventually.

Porter's problem is that he made it too obvious he wants to play in Arizona...so they basically lowballed him in their offer to him. Now he's trying to find someone, anyone, to offer him a contract so he can drive the Cardinals' price up.

Makes sense.

Joey Porter signs 3 year contract with Cardinals. Link to follow.

not really to upset about porter. i love the fact that we havent been over paying NO ONE

47FAN · 03-19-2010, 08:05 PM

per adam schefter-Arizona gave LB Joey Porter a three-year, $17.5 million contract, with a max value of $24.5 million. Porter strikes again

Lotus · 03-19-2010, 08:45 PM

^ I'm glad that we didn't pay that.

about $6 mil. /year for Porter seems too rich. In Miami his game had gone into somewhat of a decline and, given his age, his play is unlikely to get better. I think it is good for the team's culture if we do not overpay folks and I think Ariz. overpaid Porter.

Porter's good but i don't think he's that good, glad we didn't over pay for him way togo Skins.

HTTR.

The news I was waiting for never came, but have been told it has nothing to do with the team. I think its about another college football game at fedex
