I never knew it was ESPN's job to root for a team to lose to take another team off the hook.

Exactly who on ESPN said that?

Well I was hoping for a Dallas loss, because that put Arizona behind us on the draft boards. I think this is very important. If we want to draft a qb, being ahead oof Arizona is very important. I want them to loose there next two.

You already know they want/hope the Skins are in a position to dog them out. The media loves creating bad press for the Skins why? IDK Redskin = redheaded stephchild but it stinks b/c all the people who cant think for themselves eat up whatever they are told by the media and accept it as fact and then they open up dialogue and regurgitate that as if its based on their own opinions.

I chose projected because it seems to be a well laid plan in advance each year for the Redskins to be criticized consistently long before they even take a snap.

It's not likely they'll change the name, logo or will DS sell. We'll just have to grin and bear the harsh analysis until we once again become a winning team.

It's not bias. To be honest if you're following the Skins on a national level it looks pretty bad. I mean does the Warpath have an anti-San Diego bias because AJ Smith won't trade us Vincent Jackson?

If the Redskins win and do things the right way people will give credit, being that it hasnt happened for 10 years you really cant blame people for bashing the team. I know ive made tons of lions jokes in my lifetime.

Skins will make a comeback, Shanahan knows what he is doing, it was just a mistake bringing in McNabb, other than that with the talent they have they have done about as well as they could. 2 starts with Sexy Rexy, 1 almost win with season high in points and 1 actual win. Id say thats a marked improvement.

Skins stink and so does Dallas, how is that an anti-redskins movement?

Can't take ESPN morons seriously at all. I bet if we all got together and had some Warpathers that knew how to do the lights, camera, action behind the scenes stuff, we could do just a good of a job as these guys. It is more show than anything. Why do you need all these commentators telling the real football fans what they already know? These guys are also market oriented, which is part of their job, being propaganda artists for the various pro leagues, et. THe Cowboys are "America's Team" or used to be and commands a bigger merchandising market share, etc than the Skins. It doesn't help, that like others have already said, that our own lunacy in the FO doesn't do anything but help us being the butt of jokes and jabs.

I'm not so sure it's hate for the Skins as it is love for the Cowboys.. despite whatever Smoot tells you there's plenty of it there..

An "anti-Redskins movement??" lol. Please. They hate on the Skins sometimes, but it's pretty well deserved. We're a joke for the most part. Cowboys are, too.

It all starts with winning

The Cowboys and Skins have been co-laughing stocks of the NFC East for the last 10 plus years. Any criticism from ESPN or elsewhere has been richly earned.

Atleast Dallas has been playoff contenders lately.. We go out and lose 59-28 on MnF and are literally the new York giants bitches every year.
