But no, we have fans with passion and stick with a team through the thick and thin.

But because he doesn't like our owner we all get shat on. Maybe this guy applied to be a Skins waterboy in the 50's and he didn't get the job. Either that or he's a commie.

Anytime you give up 180 to a 2nd rate back like Travis Henry, sorry but that's being whipped.

What's even better, is where was this bullshit last year? We're losing and NOW it's OK to pile on. Why doesn't this guy fucking grow a sack?

Without a doubt, I agree the team has performed bodaciously below expectations, but still that doesn't make it right for some jerkoff to spout this kind of shit. It's one thing to criticize the team's performance this year, but seriously that's straight up shitting on the team and city.

[Lady Brave]

He went after ever aspect of the team. Geez... Even attacking the fight song and the word hail. I guess the President's gonna have to come up with a new intro.

@TMC
reggie bush is on track to have like 800 yards receiving, 500 rushing, and 450 on punt returns.

torry holt's rookie year was 800 yards. fitzgerald, and harrison too, and those guys might all end up in the HoF. I don't think he's underperformed for a 1st round pick so far...

I'm not saying he's underperformed (hence the reason I didn't say OVER-hyped). I'm just saying that he was a truly hyped player (similar to the entire Redskins offseason) and I was wondering if the Saints would get a free pass if they were sucking it up too.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Or any team for that matter. I just take TOTAL offense to the way that asshole lays things out. There's a constructive way to say all those things he said.

[ArtMonkDrillz]

Here's a better question, TMC - Where is his total ripping of the Dolphins? The Cardinals? The Cowboys? The Bucs? The Steelers?

Maybe if some of these teams were in bigger, more important cities he would have beef, but since they are smaller markets with a fanbase made up of simple folk with strong moral fiber and a respect of all things American they get a free pass. Us, we just have to sit here and take it.

[MTK]

I hate hearing the trash talk too, but at the same time when we're as bad as we are now I really find it hard to disagree with the smack talk. We suck, we're not winning, so bring on the heat.

What pisses me off is times like last year when we were winning down the stretch and still getting no respect.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Yeah, it's like there's something about DC in general that he doesn't like. I mean the Dolphins are this year's TOTAL flop. They had some pretty big offseason acquisitions in Culpepper and Harrington. Both moves some would consider fairly laughable.

I mean, I've always thought we as a fanbase overexaggerated the media respect and disrespect issues. However, this is just an article that crosses the line. It would be like me having a problem with you and then telling you how much I hate your mom, your family and that damn dog of yours.

And just like he's taking pleasure in us losing this year, I hope he had his fucking head in a noose last year when we ran the table to the playoffs.

[That Guy]

maybe he's just a dallas homer and that's why he doesn't care about other teams.

and yeah tmc, i'm sure any losing team would get fingers pointed at everyone for not doing enough.

[GhettoDogAllStars]

I don't know this writer, so I am not aware of what he has written in the past. My beef is for the general attitude the media has towards snyder.

When snyder spends too much, and is involved in the operations of the team, the media says he's meddling. However, if snyder is involved in other business ventures (i.e.: Tom Cruise, and w/e he's doing with him), then the media jumps on snyder because he's not focused on the team (or whatever their problem with cruise is).

They're not offering an objective view of the team. They're not even offering a CONSISTENT opinion. They're just writing stories because they have to write something.
