Are we the Classiest Team in the NFL?

except the Raiders and Eagles!

Bozo's huh? Like TiVi Barber, Eli "Comical Leader" Manning (AKA Billy Ripken), Plaxico "the Injury Milker" Burress, Michael "holdout and threaten retirement with no warning" Strahan, and Jeremy "the crybaby mouth" Shockey??

I'm really still trying to figure out Brandon Lloyd. On one hand he's a five year old spoiled brat, and on the other he's "down to earth".

I didn't see this posted anywhere else, but the guy shows flashes of being a great guy. I hope it's evidence of some maturity.

Did anyone here play football back in their youth (or in the last few years) and theres always that one kid on the team, great guy, nice to talk too, fun to hang out with .... off the feild. You get him on the feild, and its not even that he's intense, but he's just different/annoying/doing stupid shit as soon as they get the pads on...maybe thats BL, I dont know....I've heard so many different things about him, idk what to belive.

I can't tell if he tries too hard or not hard enough. I thought he looked serviceable last night. I just wish he wasn't so mushy when the defender's hit him. I mean that phrase literally. His legs go weak and he seems to melt right before our very eyes. It's almost as though he has no hard skeletal structure at all. As though he were composed of some sort of viscous, gooey, non-organic gel. Think I'll call him "Jelly". Or "Strawberry Preserves". Which one do you guys prefer?

I think he was just saying every team has its dummies...I don't think he meant every team but the giants, although I will say that, as a whole, they are more dysfunctional than the skins

Yeah, he's a Giants fan on a Redskins board, so I had to give him some shit. And yes, that Giants locker room is awful.

We may be the model citizens of the NFL.

Just some food for thought as the work week begins.

Skins are only a year removed from a player having to plead out of a felony firearm charge, and barely a month removed from a different player supporting a person's right to run a dog fighting ring. 1.5 years ago, we had a player spitting in the face of an opponent during a playoff game, and last year the skins enjoyed a media frenzy about an anonymous player badmouthing the coaching staff. From a relative standpoint, these issues are not really a big deal (unfortunately), but enough to strip the redskins of any claim to the title of "NFL's Classiest Team"!!

Exactly my sentiments.

Lets at least make it to the playoffs for a few years straight. I know we can do it. But we have almost no offense. There are a lot of teams that have us beat for that title. But why do we need to be the classiest team. were doing fine the way we are right now.

[GusFrerotte]

Yeah, it is nice the Skins have been pretty much free from off the field distractions, but with ST's thing last year and now Portis saying politically incorrect things about dogfighting, we can't say we have a squeaky clean image. The Cowboys and Eagles can probably have the same argument for them being the classiest. You don't hear squat about the Patriots either, with the exception Brady had a kid with MS. Moniyghan. The Gmen are pretty quiet also. Only Giant to come close making a splash is Shockey filling the single playboy role. We are up there in the top 10-15 probably, but not #1.

There is a good chance we might not be in the top 10 GTripp with regards to being model citizens. It is unavoidable that a lot of teams will face player indescretions with the law as a disproportional amount of these guys are thugs in the first place. The system in place starting with college recruiting does not put much emphasis on integrity, as it does on how fast a 40 you do or if you have some good hands, etc. The NFL would like you to believe it puts a lot of emphasis on it, but don't let em fool you. Ray Lewis was allowed back with no problem, with the least of his offences was obstructing justice, with all likihood he might have capped that guy himself. Vick is going to beat the charges as there is no solid evidence he was personally involved with the dogfighting, all heresay evidence from shady witnesses. Yeah they act like it matters, but the bottom line is alway the $$$$$$$$$$$ signs.

Yeah, I like a class act off the field, but mean sons-off bitches on the field. Like my old coach would say, "respect all and fear none".

[Giantone]

With due respect I'm just answering the question..........no .I don't believe one is classer than another.
