Thank you Meriam Webster. Is that how he did it? I had no idea.

I would also say the fact that he had Joe Montana and Steve Young and Rich Gannon (all three MVP's) as his QB might have helped a tiny bit but what do I know... They are a slight upgrade over Andrew Walter, Aaron Brooks and Tuiasasucko.

For whatever reason? Are you serious? How about the worst line in football and a Rookie QB?

I love how its ok for the Patriots to spend big in free agency...

They really didn't spend big. They are still way under the cap.

I love how its ok for the Patriots to drop and add players with abandon. Aside from Troy Brown, I think all their recievers change each year it seems.

They get a pass because they win and we don't.

Yeah, they've earned the benefit of the doubt. The Skins haven't won with all of the offseason spending they've done, the Pats have shown they know how to win. That's why no one jumps on the Pats.

And people were picking the Skins to the Super Bowl the year they went out and got Deion, Carrier, Smith, George, etc. then they wised up...

Apparently it's also ok for the 49ers who have spent heavily this offseason in free agency, I haven't heard many gripes about them from the media not being able to buy a championship.

Likewise, I feel like Denver has obtained free agents at the same level as the Skins for the past few seasons and yet no one really talks about them.

Again, they win, we don't.

I think the difference there is that they've sucked without blowing money on free agent busts. If Clements and whoever else they've signed bomb this year, and they go out and do the same thing next year, and the year after -- you know, the way the Redskins do it -- then you'll start hearing the criticism.

With the emergence of Alex Smith, Frank Gore's running, and what many consider to one of the best drafts this year, they seem to be the consensus 'sleeper' team of the year.

My point is the media loves to harp on this blanket statement of "you can't buy a championship".

I get that the Skins have a long track record of trying this and failing. But why do certain teams get a free pass when they try? If you really can't buy a championship as they say, it seems that every team should be blasted for even trying.

Preach on brotha Matty, preach on

This is the first year the Pats have spent significant amount of money (Snyder Dollars) on FA. Snyder does it every year except this year and last year. You can credit Gibbs for reeling Snyder in.
Plus most of Snyder's past big signing have NOT worked out as expected. So Snyder looks bad in the national media.

Don't blame the media or the vast right wing anti-Snyder conspiracy (i sound like Hillary C.). Snyder did it to himself. Be a man and accept the blame. Nobody forced us to go out and outspend every other team in FA. We tried short cuts and it blew up in our face. That is all. The press is correct in saying what they say because it is factually correct.

Sometimes the truth hurts.

Bingo-Bammo. Post of the thread right there.

Ever stop to think that maybe we deserve the criticism?
