Mort gives us props

Dirtbag59 · 04-20-2006, 10:08 PM

On the Sportscenter Draft Special Mort named the Redskins as the best team in the NFC. Hell yeah Mort. One of the Mods need to make him an honorary Warpath Member.

That's cool I wish I saw it. But personally I would prefer it if we could stay under dogs. I like it when the media gives us no respect.I hope they keep hating on Danny boy and the Skins. It just helps blindside any unsuspecting foes.:FIREdevil

kiss of death from mortimer. still i give him stones for showing us some love. but then again, how hard is it to be brave in april? zzzz on the offseason superbowl. we have more of those than lombardi trophies. is it september yet?

Red Robert · 04-20-2006, 11:43 PM

I am O.K with this. Of all of the football media guys I think Mort is the best and often the most accurate. I mean he was THE source during the collective barganing aggrement and he seems to break most of the big stories first.

I agree I prefer being the underdog, but after last season the curtain is up and everyone in the league knows the Skins are back!

I disagree. I think that critics hated on us right up to our 2nd playoff victory. In my opinion, we could have won the Superbowl, and still get verbally shat on by these "experts". I say bring it on.

i saw this. i was pleased mort was on our side. who knew salisbury would say the panthers again? he doenst like being proven wrong like he was last year about panthers.

dmek25 · 04-21-2006, 07:48 AM

mortimer is the most fair,unbiased football reporter that espn has.and no,im not just saying this because he gave us some love

jbcjr14 · 04-21-2006, 08:53 AM

Well I must say....I agree with Mortensen

FRPLG · 04-21-2006, 09:09 AM

Mortensen and Clayton do quality work. Both seem to have opinions based on their own reasoning rather than the group think that a lot of the national sports media subscribe to. There are some others but I really look and those two as being leaders in terms of fair reporting.

I agree that on paper we have a strong team. But there is so much that can turn it bad and we have been through enought similar situations that I am finally totally immune to these type of precitions either way. I do get worked up when we are obviously negatively viewed in totality by the national media but on an individual basis I am just so used to it. I think it actually makes me like the Skins better. Us against the world type thing.

The national media as a whole ahs to realize that this Skins team is as likely to make it to the Superbowl as a bunch of other teams. Ignoring that is obvious bias.

TheMalcolmConnection · 04-21-2006, 09:33 AM

Yup. I definitely agree. Mort and Clayton both provide arguments based on CURRENT FACTS, not old standbys like Lenny P and Dr. Z (Snyder LOVES to overspend, har har har.)

36_REAPER_21 · 04-21-2006, 10:06 AM

Bout time we get some RESPECT

Don't leave out Salisbury steak! What an idiot. The other day on ESPN, He and Michael Irvin were having heated debate regarding QB's or team Chemistry, or something. MI says "Sean, I understand your point, but I am speaking as someone who actually has experience at WINNING!" It got real quiet on Salisbury's end!!! Cool

djnemo65 · 04-21-2006, 10:47 AM

Clayton rocks....he gave us some love on ESPN gamenight a couple of weeks ago. He said, and I'm crudely paraphrasing from memory, that people criticize us, but that we're a solid playoff team that got materially better.

PSUSkinsFan21 · 04-21-2006, 10:48 AM

Back when Peter King wrote that poorly thought-out piece of trash that he passed off as an article earlier this offseason I said that Mort and Clayton were the only two guys I ever actually listen to or respect. Glad to see Mort hasn't changed my mind. :thumb:

12thMan · 04-21-2006, 11:16 AM

I really don't care who gives us props...I just want to see two people continue to dog us out...Sally Jenkins and Sean Salisburysteak.
Nothing would be more redeeming to see them dance around the truth for another full year while we plow our way through the playoffs.
