New year, new reasons to point and laugh...
Joe Gibbs has had enough (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3186165)
Last year's thread (http://www.concretefield.com/forum/index.php?topic=19422.0)
Link to Gibbs PC (http://lightningstream.surfernetwork.com/Media/player/view/wwxx3.asp?call=wwxx&skin=WWXX). Lots of verbal Snyder fellatio.

QuoteI almost cried at the start...
"I was so focused. I though we were going all the way. I was convinced we were going all the way."
Maybe they'll hire Andy Reid.
Danny Boy: "I haven't had any conversations with Bill Cowher, last time I talked to him was when we played raquet ball 6 years ago"
Somewhere mixed in with this Gibbs grandson has cancer or something
ass cancer, or femoral artery cancer?
As a new year's resolution, I want to lose at least 10 pounds this year strictly as a result of pointing and laughing at the racists.
Retirement? I'm sure it's all just part of Gibbs' master plan to win the Super Bowl. Pointing and laughing in '08!
why'd the 2007 version get deleted? classic stuff in there, i was gonna print it out and take a shtein and read it. ok no but its a decent idea.
I thought it would just end up being closed, not deleted.
Anyway, think of it as :CF's version of Sean Taylor. Let's pour one out for our lost comrade, the 2007 point & laugh at the skins thread.
John "light bulb head" Clayton floats these names as candidates for the skins coaching job:
Gregg Williams
Jason Garrett
Brian Billick
Jim Caldwell
Russ Grimm
Mike Singletary
Rex Ryan

That means the world to me that you guys did that. I'm really upset that I wasn't able to hop on a frickin' plane, drop by the park, and let Gibbs know how much he means to me and how much he inspires me. Thank-you so much for representing us well! Looking somberly forward to seeing the pictures.
What do you even say to something like that?
Christ, no wonder Gibbs wanted out. What a bunch of freaks.
Gibbs probably tossed that into the nearest dumpster, what an ugly ass trophy/clock hybrid

I was always in favor of one master Point and Laugh at the taterskins thread with the date changed to indicate each year, granted that thread would have been close to 1000 pages but it would be the greatest thread in :CF history.
:CF history, that's a thought. i suppose there is such a thing, technically, but since no one will ever care, no one will ever know it
Joe Gibbs looks like he'd rather have MDS pounding his ass than to stand there with those stalking freaks.

QuoteMost importantly, a green stuffed frog wearing taterskins garb that dances to the strains of 50 Cent's "In Da Club" when prompted. Really. I'd like nothing better than to see Joe Gibbs's face when presented with a hip-hop-loving stuffed taterskins dancing frog. I bet he'd croak
Can you imagine the outpouring of love for Andy Reid when he resigns?
I think I'll prepay for a plane ticket to Philly for when it happens because there's no way I could... sniff... miss that...
I might even buy him a trophy. Or better yet, get a jersey with his name on the back of it. But we all should ingest a copious amount of drugs to honor his sons.
Or better yet give him some instead of a trophy.
Coach, you meant so much to us over the past 9 years, here's an ounce of pure Peruvian flake - my girlfriend's from Peru, so you can be sure it's the real thing...
Oh, wait... nevermind. :paranoid

What in the hell is he even trying to accomplish with that? Taylor standing on Julius Jones' head?
No dumb dumb. Taylor was already in the pic but I have no farging clue what he did to "highlight" the image of him. Not to mention that the pic itself is poor quality and out of focus and the font used is looking a bit choppy as well.
Maybe the guy wanted to incorporate two of his favorite things: Sean Taylor, and Drew Bledsoe's ass.
Sean Taylor makes the AP second team All Pro, (hadn't played since early November). Suprised?
I'm only surprised that he didn't make the first team.
Frankly, it's a travesty, and the AP should be ashamed of themselves.
Sean Taylor should be 1st team at every position in the secondary.
he led the league in interceptions at the time of his death and was having a HOF type year...i dont see anything wrong with saying he was the third or fourth best safety in the nfl this past year...he certainly would have ended up one of the best had he not been died...
plus its not like theres lots of good safetys running around the nfl...hell dawkins made FIRST team last year and he only showed up for about a quarter of the season
Dawk wasn't named (AP) all pro, he was just named as a replacement to the probowl.
In other breaking news, Pat Tillman was named as the other alternate all pro saftey. The NFC should play the probowl with an empty defensive backfield.
Edit: true Dawk was all pro in '07

Well, he certainly intercepted that bullet.

Well, he certainly intercepted that bullet.
You could say he dropped the ball in the end, though.
There is exactly one safety in the Hall of Fame that has played since 1980. Sean Taylor was nowhere close to achieving, nor was he on track to achieve, what he would have needed to achieve to join Ronnie Lott.
But he was tall and liked to hit! Athletic! Stupid as a stump! Everything you look for in a hall of famer. Did I mention tall?
Tall, like Jon Harris tall?
No, like Ed "Too Tall" Jones tall. But more taller.

Or anyone who has a career year basically.
Like Jeremy Shockey.
Or Kevin Curtis.
Wrong again dumbass. A 1000 yard recieving year is not a "HOF type" year. That's not even a pro bowl type year. Just because it's a career best for Curtis does not mean that it's the type of production you'd expect out of a HOF'er from his position. And Curtis could have the next 10 seasons exactly like this one and it wouldn't get him any closer to the hall than he is now.
QuoteAnd Curtis could have the next 10 seasons exactly like this one and it wouldn't get him any closer to the hall than he is now.
Steve Largent would disagree whole-heartedly
steve largent had over 100 td's thats what got him in the hall of fame not 70 catches and 1100 yards
not to mention 70 and 1100 meant a hell of a lot more back then than it does in todays nfl which is a pass happy offense first league
Quotesteve largent had over 100 td's thats what got him in the hall of fame not 70 catches and 1100 yards
read what Sarge said again. He said over 10 more seasons. Who the hell cares what it meant back then or now..numbers are numbers regardless to any ballot
having over 80TD's and over 10,000+ yards is a hell of an achievement for any receiver and should get into the Hall with ease....and to to say otherwise is just being igy-ish
Steve Largent also played in a different era when teams didn't pass anywhere near as much as they do today. When you compare Largent's stats to other recievers during his time, yes, he was among the best in the game. Largent finished in the top 10 in receptions 9 times during his career and never once had more than 80 catches in a single season. 8 times during his career he ranked in the top 10 in recieving yards and never got more than 1300. 7 Pro bowl selections and 8 All Pro selections.
To compare, Kevin Curtis this year ranked 23rd in receptions with 77, 17th in yards with 1110, and 27th in TD receptions with 6. 0 Pro bowls and 0 All Pro selections.
When you're looking at HOF type #s, it's not soley about how they compare to previous greats, but how do they compare against their peers. Largent was clearly one of the best recievers in his time. Curtis is not.
Largent is a republican shteinbag. farg him.
And he's white. Eww.

you guys are reaching hard and not giving credit where its due. farg Kevin Curtis..I know what type of receiver is he is and he will never achieve those numbers
If that boy got those type numbers...he belongs in the HOF because he did something right during those seasons...but to sit here and tell me that if he did and he wouldnt be comparable to his piers... is beyond ridiculous.

That's exactly why you're a farging moron. You look at every sport and stats change over time both as a result of rule changes and as a result of athletes generally getting stronger and faster from one generation to the next.
Trent Dilfer so far in his career has passed for 20518 yards, 113 tds and completed 55% of his passes.
Norm Van Brocklin passed for 23611 yards, 173 tds and completed 53% of his passes.
By your logic that numbers are just numbers, then Trent Dilfer should go to Canton.
Idiot.

Fine comparison Rambo, and you can dissect all my words however you like...either way your boy Curtis would get in. But your right..he wouldnt be any closer
Quote3. art monk says
yeah your point? He had 5 1000 yd seasons. Curtis would have 10...a horrible accomplishment right.
This argument is gay and you two need make love fast
pretty much
Who's dissecting? You said that numbers are numbers and that it doesn't matter what era they were accumulated in. Are you telling me that a player hitting 500 home runs in baseball today is as significant as it was 20+ years ago?
Are you saying that scoring 40 points in a basketball game is just as hard today with the 3 point line and a 24 second shot clock as it was before either was introduced to the game?
Your thought process on the whole issue is completely wrong. Plain and simple.

How did this turn into a Curtis arguement, this all started with Igy saying #21 the immortal one was having a HOF year. Farg Him, and all the dumb arse avatar's the skins fan's come up with.
QuoteYour thought process on the whole issue is completely wrong. Plain and simple.
my thought process is wrong because I disagreed with you and Jim Rome and said Kevin Curtis would get into the Hall of Fame with 80+ TD's and 10,000+ yards. The fact you just brought up a basketball and baseball comparison is beyond hysterical. Seriously, go polish your gun.
Again, I dont care about the era...if he gets those kinds of stats...he's in
you mean art monk type stats?
yeah just like him...10 straight seasons?
68TD's...80TD's
1. I didn't agree with Rome. IGY made a comment and Rome later made the same comment. I just pointed it out.
2. I made 2 seperate statements to illustrate my point. Something you are completely incapable of doing.
3. You take stats at face value which is one of the many reasons why you're a moron.
4. Pointing and laughing @ you.

Shockey is actually a perfect example, an overhyped overrated TE who put up GREAT numbers 1 year and now everyone thinks he's awesome. Thank god some of that hype died down.
I just threw Kevin Curtis in there because I knew it'd piss some of you fargtards off.
Anyways, a guy who's having a "career year" isn't putting up "HOF-type numbers". He's putting up the best year of his career so far. Period.

Goddamn I love how empty that stadium is.

you cant honestly believe an nfl stadium would have an entire upper deck empty?
Alright, I have to comment on this. I have the perfect argument to prove that stats change from era to era.
Johnny Unitas. Although 10th on the all time passing list, he is by no means the tenth best that ever played.
Marino, 61,361
Favre, 60,475
Elway, 51,475
Warren Moon, 49,325
Fran Tarkenton,47,000
Vinny Testaverde, 45,908
Drew Bledsoe, 44,611
Dan Fouts, 43,040
Joe Montana, 40,551
There are one definate, maybe two qb's on that list that deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the man with 'The Golden Arm.'
At the time of his retirement, he held records for the most pass attempts (5,186), most completions (2,830), most total yards (40,239), most touchdowns (290), most 300-yard games (26), and most consecutive games throwing touchdown passes (47). He also had three seasons of 3000+ passing yards.
With the top qb's regularly going over 4,000 in a season, his 3 seasons of 3,000 yds. looks journyman like. Backup, clipboard holding type of numbers. But anyone who knows football knows that if the man played today, especially with all the rules that have been made since his time to protect the position of qb, he would still be one of the best. Hell, he played 18 seasons, but the last were schooling another great qb, Dan Fouts. I have to think he'd have never left Baltimore if he wasn't so beat up and could have played another few very productive years.

1959 NFL Championship - Baltimore 31, NY Giants 16
Super Bowl V - Baltimore 16, Dallas 13
The Career Highlights give you a more accurate description of just how great a player he was.
As a kid who loved sports growing up on the Eastern Shore of Md., it's only now that I realize just how lucky I was to be able to have watched him play the second part of his career. He was the man amoung men. His level of play was 10 times greater than most qb's of his time. Just the way he dropped back and would pump fake, was like nothing the NFL had ever seen before. His passes were jaw droppers. High arching bombs that would hit the receiver right in the breadbasket almost every friggen' time. No one had ever seen anything like it before. His brashness and gambler like attitude opened the eyes of coaches, who started encorperating the pass more to score quicker.
Basically, what I'm saying is if you looked at his career stats next to todays qb's and had never watched football, you wouldn't have any idea what kind of player he was.
Oh Yeah, I'm really pointing and laughing at Washington, and the way it's like they're having a two week wake for Joe Gibbs. He retired, shut the farg up crying about it and get another coach.
It's a travesty that Todd Collins isn't on that list.
Isn't that a drink, a Todd Collins?
It is. The Todd Collins has no gin in it and the club soda is flat.
Sounds like the kind of drink my mother in law mixes.
You should all be shot in the femoral artery for gaying this thread up with dumb stats and meaningless arguments when there's still plenty to point and laugh at.
For example: gripes about 'refereeing' in the Seahawks game. (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=233217) Any normal fan that watched that game thought the Skins got the majority of the iffy calls. I thought the refs were somewhat purposely biased because of the whole femoral artery thing.
I'm praying to the Saint of Sean Taylor that somehow Dannyboy hires Jim Mora Jr's whiny ass.
He has been canonized as the patron saint of vascular protection, field sobriety test refusal, and aggravated assualt involving firearms. He is depicted with a burgundy and gold halo. His first miracle was demonstrating the stigmata, bleeding from the groin and was said to be able to heal injured players by spitting on them.
Like any saint he is shrowded in mystery.

QuoteFirst of all. An apologie, I know this kind of threads can be painful or annoying for some people.
Today the sky down here in Mexico is cloudy; blue sky in the horizon, big grey clouds above the city, beatiful.
I woke up, put my 21 jersey and I can't stop thinking about Sean. I miss him ... damn I miss him so much, I broke in silence in a river of tears.
I never had the pleasure to meet Sean, to shake is hand, watch him training or the luck to watch him live at Fedex playing with such a passion, such a respect for the fans, such a love for the taterskins.
Sean it was not part of blood family, it was not part of my close friends even when I wan to : ).
But I miss him, my heart feels a indiscriptible sorrow because I still love him, not for the hits, the INT, the fear of the opposite players, I love him for gave me one the greatest lessons in my life. Do everything with passion.
Is great to see someone doing "his" thing with all the heart.
My way to pay tribute to Sean is wearing the beatiful 21 jersey.
My Mom told me that the jersey is too expensive (is true, for Mexico is expensive) but I don't care, later she understands me: "OK, Beto (Bob), I know you love the skins, I see you when you can watch the games and I know that jersey means A LOT for you, if you want the white go for it."
Sometimes I have this internal battle between sadness and happiness when Sean comes to my mind. I dont' want to feel sad but like a said before I miss him, is hard not to feel sad when you know that someone you love its not here anymore.
To be honest a big smile appears on my face too. Because I know Sean want everyone of us have good memories of him and of course that sincere smile.
Versus the Seahawks in Santana's TD I saw him doing the 21 salute ... I guess long time ago I never find myself crying in such a joy.
The 2007 Washington taterskins will forever in my heart, rooster, coach staff, fans, playoffs and my (yours too) 21 burgundy jersey.
Sean te amo con todo mi corazón, como dijo Joe, "que dios te cuide hasta que lleguemos alla arriba contigo"
Some people picks the play versus the Eagles, Sean diving.
I take this play to be part of my ADN (I believe for you is DNA).

Now the sun is winning the battle against the clouds, that way Sean can see this post.

One is a slightly warmer bucket of piss than the other.
They both suck, however. A lot.
I think Fassel's a decent coach actually. Maybe not a great coach but definitely better than Mora Jr. Let's not forget, this is the guy who turned Kerry Collins into a probowl/superbowl QB.
What I do find hilarious though is that almost every time I turn on the tv, I keep hearing the pundits say that Greg Williams is next in line to be the taterskins head coach. And every time I log onto the net I read reports about the latest person not named Greg Williams to interview for the job.
I can't wait to see what the people on ES say about Williams if he isn't hired. They've been all about him for years, and it would be hilarious to see them pull the inevitable 180 to get in line with Danny Snyder.
John Clayton said today that Williams has been interviewed 4 times...what the farg...why do you need to interview him 4 times?
They're having a tough time coordinating the interview with the angel of Sean Taylor. He's getting so many requests from all over the globe, and his schedule really is packed.
And frankly, hiring Gregg without getting Sean's input would be a travesty.
Can you imagine getting called in repeatedly for additional interviews like this? Jesus Christ, just make a decision already, douchebag.

It means that he must have shown them that he actually knows his football and we should all be happy that the Skins don't hire him.

QuoteJust got a call from my AFC North buddy. Nobody he has talked to at the Senior Bowl (and there are hundreds of scouts coaches and agents there) has heard anything concrete regarding our new coach. Of course, he said they have all heard the media reports of Fassel, Ryan and Zorn and people are completely shocked. He said he has seen alot of crazy stuff in his 7 + years in the NFL but he can't remember a decision that has received a unilateral gasp of shock/laughter like this.
There are alot of people saying alot of things. here is a major one: A group of scouts and front office people were sitting watching practice together discussing the rumors and a very high ranking official from the Eagles makes this comment: "For the last 4 years we finally had to start worrying about the taterskins as a threat on the field and that little ego-maniac is blowing it to pieces. I LOVE IT!" This was followed by laughter by the dozens of people that heard it.
Finally, he did say that he is still skeptical that fassel is the man becuase nobody down there has any hard facts to support the rumors.

Fassel as the new Skins coach is about as good news as a fan of an NFC East team could hope. Their D will take a big step backwards next season with a new DC, one thing Williams excelled at was scheming to get the most out what talent he had.
Only the Skins would start interviewing OCs before they even have a Head Coach. You'd think they would let him pick. This is gonna be a great run to watch.
I don't want to see Rex Ryan in Washington...

Had a long chat with my AFC North scout friend this morning. He is still down at the Senior Bowl and here is the latest he has heard:
He spoke directly with a taterskins coach yesterday while eating dinner. This coach said that, at this point, nobody thinks Gregg Williams would even take the job if it was eventually offered to him. This coach said that the other taterskins coaches he has talked to feel very disrepected by being kept in the dark about their status. They all want out of the situation and released from their contracts so they can find employment with another team and some of them have specifically requested a release from their contracts. Snyder didn't allow it and that is when Snyder had Gibbs step in to talk with the coaches and set up meetings with them all next week.
This coach said that here is what the taterskins are looking at for next year: "They will either have a whole new staff or, if most of us are not released from our contracts, they will have a bunch of disgruntled coaches that will hate coming to work everyday."
My buddy's GM told him that he thinks the taterskins have such a mess on their hands right now that it will probably be hard for us to fill a whole staff right now with competent coaches.
My buddy leaves the Senior Bowl tomorrow so I will post anything else I hear.
With all of the discussions I have had with my buddy this week I just don't think as fans we can truly comprehend how toxic this situation is right now inside the taterskins organization. UUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHH
Whatever. If a coach wants no part of Washington, Danny will just throw more money at him and all will be rectified.
now they are waiting to interview spagnulo and the patriots offense coordinator, mcdaniels or daniels or whatever the farg his name is.
QuoteThis is from Jason Reid: We've confirmed an ESPN report that Jim Zorn has been hired as the taterskins' new offensive coordinator even though a head coach has not been named. We reported a couple days ago that Zorn was at the top of Jim Fassel's list of potential offensive coordinators and is very highly regarded by Gregg Williams as well.
The hiring of Zorn likely means that associate head coach -- ofense Al Saunders is finished with the team. Owner Daniel Snyder and vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato were privately critical of the offense's performance under Saunders the past two seasons. The two were especially concerned, sources said, about the development of young quarterback Jason Campbell, whose progress is the organization's top priority.
But....Saunders offense is unstoppable! Randel El, and Campbell on the field at the SAME TIME! Portis and Betts...BRANDON LLOYD!
This situation couldn't work out any better.
Mutiny within the taterskin coaching ranks.
Hiring an OC before the HC
Hiring and then unhiring (reportedly) Jim "THIS TEAM IS GOING TO THE PLAYOFFS" Fassel.
Al Saunders being hated upon by the same two dopes who sucked his dick a few years ago.
The DTC making asses out of themselves on HBO.
ATV being like a ghost. I guess he's out working the farm in Iowa or wherever the farg he lives.
Ahahahahaha. farg Washington and farg their fans.
i think they end up getting spagnulo which is a bad thing...not because i think hell be a good coach because i have no idea but because the douchbag skin fans will all circle the wagons and say that lil danni got his man in the end and that he was waiting the whole time for the giants to be eliminated from the playoffs so they could get spag
LOL at the taterskins hiring Jim Zorn before they hire a head coach. And what happens if the head coach they decide on wants someone other than Zorn? Or how about if Gregggggg Williams gets the job and decides to retain Saunders? And what about Saunders?
Hahaha.
What a fiasco. :-D

NFL Network analyst Steve Mariucci could reportedly meet with the taterskins regarding their head coaching vacancy by as early as Wednesday.
Colts defensive coordinator Ron Meeks is in for a second interview Tuesday, but it would be a surprise if a defensive mind got the job. Mariucci and Jim Fassel appear to be the current frontrunners to succeed retired Joe Gibbs.
Source: Washington Times
The Cerrato Era
Vinny Cerrato has been a part of the taterskins organization since Daniel Snyder took over - save for 2001, when Marty Schottenheimer fired him - and in that time become the subject of great conjecture. With a free-flowing and ever-changing coterie of coaches and scouts, and frequently changing titles, Cerrato's public responsibilities have been largely undefined, though his loyalty to Snyder and their bond are no secret around the league.
But now, with his recent promotion to executive vice president/football operations last week Cerrato is without question the top decision maker in the organization. That's how his peers see him. The taterskins - save for actually using the GM title - have handed Cerrato the position. Given Snyder' well-known deep involvement with the franchise's moves, there's no more need to wonder who is responsible.
The Cerrato Era has begun. This coaching search is his first major maneuver. The team has gone to great lengths to describe how involved he is with his decision - and the traces to Cerrato are unmistakable throughout - so judge not the past, my friends. The days of figures lurking in the shadows and no one but a head coach being responsible for speaking publicly about everything and anything are over.
You need look in only one direction now for personnel and the draft.
If it's a trade, signing, draft pick, it's on Vinny now. There's no team president and Hall of Fame Coach above him on the flow chart. The days of taterskins' management spreading word that a particularly poor acquisition was really the fault of a scout or assistant coach, well, that's not going to fly anymore. He will be assessed and graded in real time, and for posterity. Whether Snyder is pulling all the strings is irrelevant, because the league will be grading Cerrato's personnel record starting with this coaching hire.
"Vinny's running it," said one longtime NFL executive who has studied the taterskins closely. "Vinny is the GM. This is the first time you can really put everything on Vinny, beginning right now. And his first act as chief of operations is to find a new coach and he's hired coordinators first and basically has his staff in place already. That's a completely outside-the-box way of doing business, and we'll find out of it was right or wrong.
"It's evident to every football man in the National Football League that the Vinny Cerrato era has begun. Whether it works or not - and a lot of people are wondering if it can work - right now you can honestly say he's in charge. In the past he's always been under the radar, and he could blame Dan or blame a coach, but he can no longer do that. It's his team now."
And the rest of the NFC East rejoiced.
Cerrato is probably better if Snyder stays out of it, but still... good stuff.
QuoteThe taterskins are expected to go with a full fledged West Coast offense under new coordinator Jim Zorn.
While Zorn has a history of success with QBs, the taterskins are taking a big gamble here. Jason Campbell finally began to grasp Al Saunders' vertical attack before getting hurt in 2007. The West Coast offense deals with words, while Saunders' used numbers, so the language will be totally different. Campbell will be learning his eighth different offense in his past ten years
:-D
that is funny, 8 offenses in 10 years.
use your words jason.
While I want to laugh at the unmitigated idiocy of all things taterskins, I have to admit I thought last year the Giants would probably be going into free fall, what with everyone hating Coughlin, losing Tiki, Strahan etc. Then again Washington is at whole other level, where the word incompetence is inadequate.
cambell was NOT beginning to grasp al saunders offense....in fact todd farging collins came in and ran it better
also the one big criticism of the offense was that it didnt go down field enough
looks like Mariucci will be interviewed
you're slippin yo, that's been the word for days.
ESPN's John Clayton reports the taterskins are not expected to offer Steve Mariucci their head coaching job.
Clayton fully expects Jim Fassel to be named to the position next week, although owner Dan Snyder still has to interview Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.

For the final time, I maintain that Art Monk is not a HOF player, and certainly not moreso than Derrick Thomas or fellow WR Cris Carter. He's a borderline case that been let in because he's such a nice guy and people felt bad for him to be shot down so many times.
Next year you gotta like Bruce Smith, Rod Woodson, and Shannon Sharpe for the Hall on the first ballot. Carter or Thomas also.
I think that Monk gets overlooked now because he was at the front end of the WR revolution. His numbers, at the time, were all-time great stuff. Now in retrospect they aren't that great. But he was the offensive glue for 2 superbowl teams. Anyway, I have no problem with him being let in.
Also, happy to see Zimmerman make it. He was dominant and offensive linemen have a hard time getting recognition.
green is a first ballot guy...monk is a disgraceful entrant
disgraceful? jesus christ you nazi farg, what the hell is wrong with you?
he has 60 career touchdowns are you kidding me??
this 15 years to get in the hof is bullshtein...the limit should be three years...you dont get in before then youre out...the hof should be the best of the best not some players who were never even the best wr on their team much less one of the best in the league
He's sixth all-time in receptions, IGY. And don't forget they also had Ricky Sanders and Gary Clark plus most of the touchdowns they got were on rushes from Riggins.
he was never the best wr on his own team and you want him in the hof?
its a joke
if he was good enough to make the hof he wouldnt have taken over a decade to get in...hes a mercy entry and sorry i dont think players like that belong in hall of fames...the only argument to have him in is that the nfl hof ia already a joke with many players being that shouldnt...so if you wanna lower the bar to very good (not the best of the best) players like art monk getting in then so be it....imo hall of fames should be better than that
the fact that the nfl has a minimum four entrants per year get in is a joke...the fact that they have that rule and art monk still couldnt make it until now is an even bigger one
6th in receptions and 11th in yards are Hall of Fame credentials, period.
Compare Monk's career with the last decade of the NHL, and he'll pale in comparison, because the NFL today is much more pass-oriented.
But when he retired, he was #1 in career receptions. Mostly on a Gibbs team that focused more on the run.
He's got more receptions and TDs than Michael Irvin, last year's HOF entry. Admittedly, Monk played several more seasons.
I'm gonna play both sides of the fence here, 'I', a fan, thought he did enough to get into the HOF. Others whose votes mattered didn't think so. Folding to public pressure and letting a guy in because enough taterskins fans cried taints Monks entry.
he has those numbers cause he played 1000 years
he had good numbers for a long time...good doesnt get you in the hof...great (or whatever comes after great) gets you in...and outside of one year art monk was never that
again he played for that many seasons and only had 63 touchdowns
he made three pro bowls in 16 years
he finished in the top 5 in receptions three times in 16 years
he never had double figures in touchdowns even once
he had more than 75 catches three times in 16 years
its not really even an argument and the voters themselves know this...which is why they had to wait over a decade for a year as weak as this one to put him in...and like i said even at that he only made it cause four guys HAVE to make it every year

you defeated your own argument
monk played 50 more games than irivn yet irvin had three less touchdowns and 1000 less yards
in
50 less games!
so either monk was not that good or irvin was insane...i tend to lean towards the former
I personally couldn't care less if he got in.
Fact is, he's in and that's the end of it.

A third possibility was that Irvin had a HOF quarterback in Troy Aikman, whereas Monk had QBs like Joey the Leg, Doug Williams and Mark Rypien throwing to him.

i think the point is that he didnt put hall of fame numbers up
you have to year in and year out put up numbers that make you one of the best in the league at your position and outside of a year or two art monk never did that...like i said he wasnt even the best wr on his team most years...so somehow with all those awful superbowl winning quaterbacks other guys like gary clark were able to out number monk

Cris Carter is 2nd in receptions and 6th in yards.
Andre Reed is 5th in receptions and 8th in yards.
Combined they have 15 Pro Bowl selections to Monk's 3. Why was he chosen over them? I think it's basically the result of many years of incessant taterskin fan whining.
I could go on and on. IGY hit all the main points. Monk was not the best eligible wide receiver this year, and there are a number of non-WR players who probably deserve to go in before all three of those guys.
I'm done with this topic. Another borderline case in the HOF. He's definitely not the first.
I can agree with borderline. Monk was not a top-tier HOFer like Jerry Rice, but there are many others already in the Hall with lesser credentials as well.
But to call it a joke is just IGY being a drama queen. Again.

Check it out while it lasts, the Pro Football HOF lists Cris Carter as a Hall of Famer (http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/positions.html)... even they can't believe Monk got in over him. They've got Derrick Thomas on there too. Their webmaster has better taste than their actual voters.

What's even more of a joke is that you have "hof standards as high as can be" for something that doesn't affect you one iota more than my three year old daughter, and it's worth arguing about. Kinda pathetic.

angry and drunk doesnt suit you...kudos on proper spelling and punctuation tho
Hahaha.
I will say Monk's numbers are borderline, but anyone who says he shouldn't be in the HOF might not be old enough to have seen him play his whole career. I watched him beat the Eagles on more than one occasion. It seemed like every time Washington needed a 1st down on third and long, or a TD late in the game, it was Monk who was catching those passes. He would get so wide open it was almost like he wasnt' even being covered. Hence his nickname, 'Old Reliable'. At the time of his retirement, he led the league in just about every receiving catagory there is. Like rjs said, he was the glue that held those Wasington teams together. Back when the NFC was playing smash mouth football, with Riggin's running behind Joe Jacoby, Monk was still making great plays on a team that was built for the run.

Art Monk in the HOF is a joke...and to solidify that, he should go into the Hall as an Eagle
Quote from: Wingspan on February 03, 2008, 11:34:48 AM
Art Monk in the HOF is a joke...
Arguments can and are being made on both sides so I don't think his election to the HOF is a joke. Personally, I'm glad to see him get in but I can certainly understand the arguments as to why he shouldn't be there. I look at like this though:
1. He played 15 years in the NFL which is hard enough as it is. And he played 15 years during an era when there weren't as many rules in place to protect players. The equipments wasn't as good as it is today and the hits were more brutal. Durability is one of the many aspects you should take into consideration.
2. (As already stated ad nausium) He played in a less "passy happy" era and played on a team that heavily favored the run. And when he retired he held the record for career receptions. He also lost a year and some change worth of games in his career due to player strikes that undoubtedly affected his numbers.
3. As already stated, he had no stability at QB through much of his career. Nearly all HOF recievers have had only 1 or 2 QB's throwing them the ball during their careers. Not to mention that most HOF recievers probably had some darn good QB's throwing the ball to them. Monk mostly had a bunch of journeyman type players chucking him the ball.
Admittedly, my pro-Monk argument is a bit hypocritical because I'm normally an advocate of a player needing to be among the greatest players of his generation more so than being compared to players already in the Hall. And Monk was rarely at the top of the list stat-wise when compared to his peers. But I also do believe that durability and sustained performance should also be looked at as well and few players, especially recievers have ever been as steady or consistant for as long as Monk. That's what makes him a HOF'er in my opinion.
Quoteand to solidify that, he should go into the Hall as an Eagle
I don't care who are, that's funny.
i just dont think its to much to ask someone to at least be the best wr on their team in order to make the HOF
Has it been mentioned on ES that the reason Monk made it in was because of Taylor?
Are you people still arguing with vigy about Art Monk? Reminds me of a line to the effect of, don't wrestle with a pig...you both get dirty and the pig enjoys it.

They need a coach that is a believer in prayer to carry the Gibbs' agenda forward.
Get Huckabee?
I was more referring to Spagnuolo's insistence on folding his hands and kneeling during the playoffs, but now that you mention it, Huckabee is a much better choice to coach the skins. For Eagles fans.

As bad as the taterskins seem to be managed, they actually wind up being a half-decent team most of the time.

I cannot believe that someone has the audacity to publicly criticize Mr. Snyder. The man is nothing short of a Saint. He had done so much for so many and was the catalyst behind bringing Coach Joe Gibbs, a living legend, back to Washington. While Coach Gibbs ultimately decided that he was going to retire, his guidance, leadership and the way he handled the tragic death of #21 Sean Taylor (RIP, friend) was nothing short of the Lord's work.
Coach Gibbs is a man who called back-to-back timeouts against Buffalo, even though he new he couldn't, because he wanted all the focus to be on him and not his team in the wake of Sean Taylor passing. He put all the focus, all the blame, squarely on his bountiful shoulders and took the punishment. And after that, what happened? The Washington taterskins didn't lose. They made the playoffs and had a phenomenal, tremendous season.
And all that was because of Coach Gibbs. And Mr. Snyder hired Coach Gibbs. So by that logic, Mr. Snyder deserves our respect and our admiration. And the people who put in his charger of his message board, and these are great men, they also deserve our respect because Mr. Snyder trusts them. He wouldn't hire someone incompetent or incapable of doing the job. He is a business man, a smart business man.
So Dave McKenna, please know what you are talking about before you attack a site like ExtremeSkins. That place connects people with a common love and passion for Washington taterskins football. We are bigger than you, your paper and anything you might write. We are ExtremeSkins and we are a family. I suggest you know that before attack on of your leader, let alone our leader, next time.
Good day.

Giants keep Spagnuolo, make him highest-paid D-coordinator in league
By Chris Mortensen
ESPN.com
Updated: February 7, 2008, 12:05 PM ET
New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who interviewed for the taterskins' head coaching job the past three days, has decided to stay in New York.
Spagnuolo was not offered the taterskins job but his agent Bob Lamont said "it didn't matter because his heart is in New York City ... The taterskins were great ... it was a great interview."
The Giants are also giving Spagnuolo a new three-year deal in excess of $2 million per year, which would make Spagnuolo the NFL's highest-paid defensive coordinator.
With Spagnuolo out of the running, Jim Fassel emerges as the taterskins' leading candidate.

i just cant figure out what the problem is...i mean what good coach wouldnt want that job...just look at the positives....
-dont have to waste time hiring assistants
-dont have to worry about drafting players
-winning and losing doesnt matter you will be gone in a year anyway
-lots of money
What self-respecting coach would take a job knowing that a douchebag like Dan Synder will be his boss?
It's not complicated at all, IGY.
I know we all hate the skins and all but they're one of the most high profile franchises in the NFL. Spagnuolo was dumb to not do everything in his power to get this job. Things and oppurtunities change fast in the NFL, case in point Ron Rivera.
Regardless, Fassel getting the job is what's best for us so no complaints here. He'll last a maximum of 2 seasons.
Took a stroll over to ES and came up with a few gems:
QuoteOriginally Posted by taterskins1973
For a man like Joe Gibbs who brought glory to this proud franchise. For a man that brought 3 titles to the taterskins. For a man that put his blood and guts and sweat into this organization. For him to see what this Goof is doing to us, he is probably regretting that he called it quits just about a month ago.
For anyone to put his whole life into his craft and to see how it's been decimated by only 1 month's work by this moron that we have as an owner, I can't imagine what Gibbs must be feeling.
I know there will never be another coach like Joe Gibbs in our lifetime for the Washington taterskins. Let's savior what he brought to us. That's all we have now!
A response to the above:
Quotethink that the reason he stopped coaching is because he can do more for this team from other areas. Now he can truly influence the whole organization. He can help the coaches, he can still talk to and give advice to the players and he can also influence the front office. He sacrificed his coaching career kind of like how Jesus sacrificed his life on the cross. He did it for us.

Ok, so maybe he raised ticket prices or hot dog prices or parking prices. So what? I don't care if he puts coin slots on the toilets because anything he does, he does with the best intentions for our team. He does it with the hope that we could bring in the best coaches and the best players and return to our glory days as the most dominant team in the whole wide world.

In that case Snyder has ceded control of his team to some of the only people in the world less qualified to run an NFL team than he is.
The way the Skins are searching for a coach is a discrace to the franchise. What decent coach in his right mind would take a job without being able to pick his own staff??

Ok, here's a consolidated place for you guys to vote on whether you like Zorn or hate him and TRY to keep things in a reasonable order for a few hours while the news filters through. We know some will make mistakes and post repeat info, but, try, as you can, to let us know here what you think. Think of it this way, the team and media who read this board will thank you for knowing what you think in ONE place.
bhahahahaha. I just heard this on ESPN news and I couldn't believe it. Danny boy strikes again. Fassel would have been a better fit than Zorn.
QuoteI'm sick and tired of all of you who complain about Dan Snyder. What has he really done that's so unacceptable the last few years? Who the hell are you to tell him how to run his OWN team?
Ban me if you want but I really don't care. I chose to be a taterskins Fan because I love the team regardless of their ups and downs. I believe DS bought the team for those same reasons and has never wavered on his efforts to make it better than ever. He paid players and coaches alike exuberant amounts of money because he felt it would make us better contenders year in and year out.
As I run my business, if for whatever reason someone is not fitting well in my organization, he /she is gone. I definately don't need to hear it from the public on how to run my business. That's what I feel Dan has done and I don't fault him for that!
If I had Sally Junkey's e-mail, I would give her a piece of my mind.
He has tried everything within his power to get us to the promise land; even if it meant bringing back Joe Gibbs and Co., he wined and dined every free agent and outbid the entire NFL and paid players because he thought it would help the team.
He was a class act when Sean passed and we all appreciated the way he carried himself and represented our beloved taterskinS nation.
A few weeks have passed and you are all ready to crucify him because Gibbs quit and GW didn't get the job. How rediculious is that??????????????
did they consult the OC on the hiring of the head coach?
QuoteI like this hire, and the more I think about it, the more I like it.
Sounds like Snyder wanted him all along, but wanted to go through to process of interviewing all the candidates on their list, and also possibly hesitant due to Zorn's lack of coordinator experience......Which of course shows the patience he learned for Gibbs.
Welcome Coach Zorn!
QuoteThis could be a brilliant move. He has a good reputation. Players seem to like, respect and understand him. I also hear he has just enough of a temper to get his point across.
Danny, you really surprised me this time. I am excited to see what he will do.
Congratulations Coach Zorn and welcome to the Washington taterskins.
QuoteI think Jim Zorn is a perfect match for the Washington taterskins. He has proven qualifications both as a former player and as one of the assistant coaches of the Seattle Seahawks and I believe that he will be a HUGE impact to Jason Campbell as well as the rest of the team.
Welcome to Washington, DC, Coach Zorn! I'm looking forward to the Zorn era of taterskins football!
QuoteSounds like Snyder wanted him all along, but wanted to go through to process of interviewing all the candidates on their list
How many chromosomes do you have to be missing to believe that?

what do they do all day? drink happy juice? bunch of dweebs. wake up you tools!

I like the spin on ESPN. "well.....hiring one of Holmgren's QB coaches worked well for the Eagles."

QuoteGreat job guys. We kept putting the pressure on....and the Danny finally gave in. Zorn is the best choice we could of made outside of perhaps Spagnola and even thats a question mark.
I AM SO GLAD FASSELL IS NOT THE HEAD COACH AND EXTREME SKINS is 80% of the reason! All Hail to this board
Quoteno way...you dont think he reads this board. Its his board after all. If we had been 100% behind Fassell when the rumor was first annouced..he would be our head coach right now
QuoteIt may not have been this board strictly, but I can tell you that it contributed. Every time I heard Fassel's name being mentioned in the media, it was added that "negative fan reaction" was the reason he hadn't been hired. And I do think this was a mitigating factor. Did anyone want Fassel? No.

QuoteFASSEL BURNS BRIDGE BACK TO NFL GIG?
Three days ago, it looked like Jim Fassel would be the next head coach of the taterskins. Two days ago, it all changed, in a surprising way.
Count Fassel among the perplexed.
"This is a shock to me," Fassel told Clark Judge of CBSSports.com.
"It's a long, twisted story," Fassel added.
"There was something going on behind the scenes, there's no question about it. I thought things were falling my way, then, suddenly, this happens. It's strange."
The condensed version? Fassel thinks that Executive V.P. of Football Operations Vinny Cerrato promoted Zorn behind the scenes, and that Cerrato GENERALLY doesn't know what he's doing.
"Dan [Snyder] wanted to make a big splash, and I think he was worried about the Baltimore thing," Fassel said, referring to his termination from the Ravens during the 2006 season. "He worried about the public relations, and he didn't know which way to go.
"I heard someone say there are no more George Youngs or Jim Finks in this league, people who really know the game. And I think that happened here. I don't think Dan surrounded himself with enough football people."
Though Fassel probably is right, he is doing himself no favors (in our view) by complaining about the situation. The practical reality is that, moving forward, other teams will be leery of doing the dance with him for fear of having to suffer the spray from his sour grapes.
Speaking of sour grapes, Fassel also takes a dig at the man who got the job, Jim Zorn.
"Someone said to me that Jim Zorn has three jobs he hasn't done now," Fassel said. "He's a head coach, and he's never done it. He's an offensive coordinator, and he's never done it. And he's calling the plays, and he's never done it."
The difference between Zorn and Fassel, however, is that Zorn has a job. Fassel doesn't, and his decision to talk publicly about it (compelling as it may be) might be the final straw that prevents him from ever becoming an NFL head coach again.
QuoteFASSEL THOUGHT HE WAS THE FRONTRUNNER
The media and the fans weren't the only ones who believed that Jim Fassel had the inside track to the head-coaching gig in D.C.
Fassel himself believed it, too.
In a Monday afternoon interview with Mike and the Mad Dog on WFAN, Fassel said that he thought he was the frontrunner for the job that went to Zorn.
Fassel also confirmed that he had a role in the hiring of the guy who got the job he wanted. He said that he gave owner Dan Snyder three persons for each of the coordinator positions, and that Zorn was the top name on the offensive side of the ball.
Indeed, Fassel said he was involved in all of the staff moves, which implies that he had a voice in the firing of Al Saunders and Gregg Williams, too.
As to the notion that Fassel was bumped due to concerns of widespread criticism from taterskins fans if he got the gig, Fassel said, "That would really, really hurt me. You can't let your fans control any of that."
Fassel also said that he shouldn't have taken a job with the Ravens after being fired by the Giants. "My biggest mistake was going to Baltimore," he said, calling the situation there "such a mess."
Again, Fassel's candor is refreshing. But we think it will hurt him, not help him, as he tries to look for new work.
For example, his strong words about the Ravens won't persuade guys like owner Steve Bisciotti or G.M. Ozzie Newsome or former coach Brian Billick to explain, "Jim did a great job for us; he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time." Instead, they're likely to say, "Our biggest mistake was hiring Fassel."
Moreover, Fassel's inability to realize that he shouldn't be running his mouth about his disappointments with the 'Skins and the Ravens raises legitimate questions about his ability to control his tongue if/when he's ever a head coach again. Let's face it, if he doesn't realize that it would be prudent to be discreet when it comes to dissing two of the 30 branches of tree that he'd like to inhabit again, how can he be trusted to say the right things -- and not say the wrong things -- as the face of a franchise?
the article is trying to make it sound different than how i heard it.
i think i heard the whole interview and while he did say "baltimore was the biggest mistake of my coaching career" he went out of his way to compliment snyder, zorn, and even the giants. he said tom coughlin said some things when he was hired that hurt him but he got over it. he said "in this league you have to get over these things really fast".
said he couldnt fault snyder for hiring who he wants esp if they did it for the right reason.

I've been smiling nonstop ever since I heard the news and I've been getting a lot of strange looks from people all morning. I've got a little pep in my step and I'm walking around with my head held high and looking everyone in the eye as I pass them and smiling and greeting them with an emphatic "GOOD MORNING!" All my Chiefs friends have been kind of poking fun at me for the last couple of weeks because they all thought it's been a disaster they way that Mr Snyder has handled things and I took they're ribbing gracefully knowing all too well that eventually I'd get my chance to give it back to them once Mr Snyder completed his timely and throrogh search for the future coach of the Washington taterskins. And boy was I right. My friends have been pretty quiet so far today. In fact they haven't even brought it up yet because I think they feel like if they don't say anything that I'll forget about the all the fun they were poking at me. But I haven't forgotten. I'm just waiting for the right time to get them back.
I can't wait to see Coach running mini camps and practices and getting this team fired up for the first of what I'm certain will be many many many succesful seasons. I don't know about you guys but I'm feeling a little ZORNY baby! Yeeeaaaaahhhhhh!

Washington Post:
QuoteNumerous league sources, including some with direct knowledge of conversations between Snyder, Cerrato and recent head coaching candidates, have affirmed that the taterskins have interest in trading for Cincinnati wide receiver Chad Johnson, with two league sources saying Johnson is eager to land a hefty new contract from Washington.
Acquiring an elite receiver is Snyder's top priority, league sources said. The Bengals have said they have no intention of trading Johnson, but his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, is working quietly to broker a deal, the sources said.
Wouldn't that be a bitch.
I would assume that Santana Moss or Randle-El would have to go to Cincy in that deal.
But still that would suck.
From that same article;
They expect to pursue Lance Briggs again (another Rosenhaus client; hell they should just sign all of Drew's guys) because Chicago doesn't really want him back. He'd take over WIL from McIntosh who is still recovering from knee surgery and has degenerative knees.
James Thrash is expected to not be brought back
Rock Cartwright is not expected to be re-signed either. They will then use Ladell Betts at the full time KOR.
I wouldn't mind seeing Cartwright end up in an Eagles uniform. He's a feisty little farger and someone this STs units sorely need.
isn't washington like $20 million over the cap already?
Well, so I guess you guys won. The taterskins are dead, literally and figuratively. Gibbs retired (or was fired). Their fargface owner has recommenced destroying the team by playing his fantasy football again. I was actually going to be through being a taterskins fan whenever Gibbs left anyhow, but my emotional divorce from the team allows me to to put everything Snyder has done, and is surely doing, in perspective. In hindsight I think it's remarkable what Gibbs was able to achieve in the disfunctional ownership and managerial environment he was in. Not that I care but I think the taterskins are going suck ass next season and probably for the foreseable future. I'm not sure if I'll be a fan again when in X years fargface is no longer the owner. Probably not.

I dont think so. They could keep both. Thrash, Lloyd and McCardell would be probably be gone. Washington can give up a 1st and 3rd or whatever draft day plan for Johnson. Then, they go on their party of restructuring base salaries to bonuses to cover the cap
I just cant see Johnson being happy with Jason Campbell. He will bitch up a storm.

Hopefully this isn't true. If Snyder is way over cap and still looking to sign big names, it probably means he will be pushing to nix the CBA and go into uncapped years. I don't think that will happen, but you never know if owners like Snyder and Jones will start forming little coalitions, making it the big spenders vs the rest (the rest being those owners who don't have the resources or willingness to compete). Doesn't bode well for an Eagles fan. Or the NFL for that matter.
Snyder beats the cap by pushing the cap hit way out into the future, then making the players re-negotiate before the big hit comes. It makes the players happy because ESPN talks about the umpteen-bazillion dollar contract they got. It makes the agent happy because they get a cut from both the original contract and from the re-negotiation.

Excellent point - the reason that it is easy for Snyder to force the players to re-negotiate is that most of the high-priced free agents he signs come up short and would be in trouble if they got cut.
The Eagles aren't the Phillies. As one of only five franchises worth over a billion dollars, they're one of the big market teams who, without a salary cap, would be able to sign anyone at any price.
i dont think so...first of all the size of market doesnt mean that much in the nfl since theres so much revenue sharing....with no cap it would be all about the size of your owners pockets...and if you go by what a lot of people have said about lurie and his lack of liquid cash i think they would be really hurt by uncapped years
Don't they usually stay millions under the cap?? Lurie's pockets seem so tight that it might not matter if there was no cap, he wouldn't spend it if he had it anyway.
But really, what has overspending got the taterskins? Even with no cap, Snyder would screw it up. Look at how he went about hiring a coach. It almost seemed that Zorn was not a calculated thought out move, but an act of desperation after no other coach but Fossil wanted a job that came with assistant coaches already in place.

I guess your saying he will overspend because he thinks that in the long run the players will never see the high end of the big contract because he expects them to fail. Thats real good business. Doesn't bode well if you want to win. His lockeroom might as well have a revolving door on it.
I didn't say that was his plan, I'm just saying that's why it works.
Adam shtein on Washintong's hire:
QuoteWashington hires Jim Zorn???
I can hear the taterskins fans in unison now — Jim Freakin Zorn?
And they are right.
It ranks as the single worst hire we've seen in the NFL in years. Zorn has no NFL head coaching experience. He has no NFL coordinator experience. He was plucked by meddlesome owner Daniel Snyder to be the offensive coordinator a few weeks ago. I thought Zorn was a terrible hire as offensive coordinator as he didn't even call the plays in Seattle and his coaching roots under Mike Holmgren are with the West Coast offense, giving young quarterback Jason Campbell his third pro offense to learn and execute.
And obviously he wasn't even on the radar for Washington to be the head coach until Jim Mora pulled out and Steve Spagnuolo smartly avoided Snyder's chaotic situation where you cannot choose your own assistants (and credit the Giants for putting up the cash making Spags the highest paid defensive coordinator in the NFL). And Jim Fassel, Steve Mariucci (who would've been a good hire) and Ron Meeks somehow fell short to Zorn.
Washington should have promoted defensive coordinator Gregg Williams to head coach while keeping continuity on offense by retaining Al Saunders to continue to call the plays. With the death of Sean Taylor and the way Williams helped rally the team, it was a situation that begged for promoting from within.
Instead, Snyder interviewed Williams four times before letting him go. And then he makes the job much less attractive to the likes of a Spagnuolo by hiring assistants before a head coach.
Let's remember what the Skins were like under Snyder before Joe Gibbs was rehired. Washington is simply headed in the absolute wrong direction.
Washington fans are freaking singing Zorn's praises all over the place. I don't know what the farg this clown's talking about in that regard.
It's a stupid hire, sure, but everyone who doesn't have Sean Taylor's blood drops tattooed on their arms knows that.
everyone that i've talked to (non-Extemeskins Skins fans, yes there are some) hate the signing.
I only know a few down here and they were just happy that Fassel didn't get hired. My buddy Ricky pointed to Reid and suggested that Zorn might be that sort of hire. I pointed out that the Eagles trophy case with Reid is still empty, though, so...
i wasn't quite sure of why Fassell got all that hate, i mean he did take the Giants to the Super Bowl...
he's not the greatest coach ever, but in a league where Norv Turner and Wade Phillips can get job after job, Jim Fassell certainly seems like he deserves another shot somewhere
i haven't really been talking about the hiring because it's all a crap shoot really. everyone has to start somewhere. who knows, he might be a great coach. probably not right now because that franchise is a joke, but the whole process of how he got hired is much more embarrassing than who they actually hired.

I don't disagree with this. I was just pointing to the idiocy of taterskins fans as a whole. They were more relieved that Fassell didn't get the job than they were concerned with how Williams & Saunders got canned and how the entire hiring fiasco was undertaken.
The process really was a fiasco in the truest sense of the word. Snyder conducts business like the worst sort of arrogant, clueless dilettante and I couldn't be happier about that because as long as he's running things, they really have no shot.
yeah, i was just wondering in general why those dummies had a hard one for Fassel, he had more success in NY than Gibbs did in his return

I said something to that effect, probably somewhere in this thread. I think he's a decent coach and certainly better than some of the schucks out there who keep landing jobs after failing over and over again.

QuoteGov. Ed Rendell, one of Hillary Rodham Clinton's most visible supporters, said some white Pennsylvanians are likely to vote against her rival Barack Obama because he is black.
"You've got conservative whites here, and I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate," Rendell told the editorial board of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in remarks that appeared in Tuesday's paper.
To buttress his point, Rendell cited his 2006 re-election campaign, in which he defeated Republican challenger Lynn Swann, the former Pittsburgh Steelers star, by a margin of more than 60 percent to less than 40 percent.
"I believe, looking at the returns in my election, that had Lynn Swann been the identical candidate that he was—well-spoken, charismatic, good-looking—but white instead of black, instead of winning by 22 points, I would have won by 17 or so," he said. "And that (attitude) exists. But on the other hand, that is counterbalanced by Obama's ability to bring new voters into the electoral pool."
Rendell, chairman of the Democratic National Committee in 2000 and previously Philadelphia's mayor, endorsed Clinton on Jan. 23.
Pennsylvania holds its primary April 22.
So the Governor thinks the people of Pennsylvania are too racist to vote for someone black? I guess we'll find out soon whether they're more or less racists than Virginians and Marylanders.

Philly has a black mayor. Their last mayor who did 2 terms was also black. Guess that sort of shoots all kind of holes in your stupid theory, racist.
The middle of the state is most certainly too racist to elect a black guy. But they root for the Steelers and taterskins. So...please just die already.
Well hopefully it will be just the middle of the state. Otherwise that wouldn't make for a very good defense of your whole racist argument.
I really, really dislike you.
Philly loves black people. Belee dat.

Wow, that's just bullshtein....
QuoteFOXSports.com has learned Washington converted an $11 million roster bonus Cooley was scheduled to receive into guaranteed money. The move is believed to have lowered Cooley's 2008 cap number from a team-high $12.2 million to $4.4 million.
So, they get to prorate the roster bonus by keeping him on the roster? How is it "converting it to guaranteed money" if he was guaranteed to get it anyway? The NFL is a joke.
They are just abstract rules, man.
Don't get upset.
They are farging with a technicality - why wouldn't every team convert roster bonuses to "guaranteed money" so they could pro-rate the cap hit? Hell, they could probably "restructure" every couple weeks, progressively converting the player's salary to guaranteed money, except that they wouldn't need the cap space.
It just doesn't make sense.

Hell, they could probably "restructure" every couple weeks, progressively converting the player's salary to guaranteed money, except that they wouldn't need the cap space.
It just doesn't make sense.
Teams do this regularly. Last year the Eagles were almost over cap and didn't have enough space to sign Curtis. Herremans, R Brown, T Cole, and Patterson together created almost $18 million by converting roster bonuses into signing boni.
That's one reason why I'm not hopeful of any more than maybe one significant off season signing, because they already borrowed against future years in '07.
From The Star-Ledger (Newark, NJ) this morning:
"The taterskins have managed the salary cap poorly and don't expect CB Carlos Rogers (knee) back until September or October. But they have a new coach! And Jim Zorn says he'll use a Slip 'N Slide during preseason to help teach his QBs how to slide. Can you imagine Jason Campbell's level of anticipation? More on this as the year progresses. We promise."

Lloyd cost $10 million SB, and two draft picks, plus $1.1 million salary during the two years that he played.
He caught 25 passes and no touchdowns.
Cost= $440,000 per catch.
Plus two draft picks.
The 2006 offseason, where they signed him, signed Archeluta and released Rocky McIntosh and let Antonio Pierce go might rank as the worst of the free agent period in the NFL.
And they still went to the playoffs this year.

I dont remember exactly and I am not going to search for it, but i am fairly certian that you thought that brandon lloyd was one of the better FA signings of that year.
I don't recall IGY being as much high on Lloyd as the skins' general "efforts" (i.e. overpaying mediocre players) to improve their team.
He was super-high on Randle-El, though.
^^^^^
that
i still like randel el...i just think the skins are always in such upheavel and clueless that they mis used him so bad...lloyd was an absolute trainwreck...but at least they went out and got him...better than having an entire offseason where the only guy you got was mike mcmahon
... or Terrell Owens, Dhani Jones and Jevon Kearse at this point.
Totally worth it!
QuoteCollins stays in Washington
The Washington taterskins fought off the advances of Jacksonville, the New York Giants and the St. Louis Rams to keep backup quarterback Todd Collins.
Collins agreed to a three-year, $9 million deal to stay in Washington. Though the Giants and Rams made hard pushes after the 12:01 a.m. Friday morning opening of free agency, the Jaguars made the hardest push to pull Collins away from the taterskins.
The taterskins kept upping the offer to Collins and the Jaguars kept upping their offer. Collins, who studied all the backup quarterback numbers and met with head coach Jim Zorn Thursday in Quincy, Ma., found the market for him hotter than expected.
Collins not only won over his taterskins teammates by a late-season surge that led the taterskins to the playoffs, but he earned the respect of the league as a valuable backup. taterskins owner Dan Snyder did not want to lose him as a backup to Jason Campbell and stepped up in the end to make sure he stayed.
Absolutely hysterical.
Collins is a career backup and a hugely mediocre one at that, yet they're paying him $9M?
I'll bet Jason Campbell is thrilled.
I'm sure ES is talking Super Bowl now.
Well, $3m a year really is not unreasonable for a solid backup QB. I just don't even think Collins really is one. His 2007 was an aberration, and he'll be a clipboard holder at best. Plus, he's going to be 40 or so when the contract runs out.
I agree it's not unreasonable. What I'm saying is Collins is suckitude personified and the taterskins spending that much for a zesty quarterback is retarded, even for them.

QuoteHACKETT GETS OFFER FROM 'SKINS
Posted by Mike Florio on March 13, 2008, 4:50 p.m.
Seahawks receiver D.J. Hackett visited the taterskins, got an offer, and didn't accept it.
According to the Washington Times, Hackett will explore other options before making a decision.
"This will all be up to him," coach Jim Zorn told David Elfin of the Washington Times. "We're not going to risk it all to try to pay him. The financial package has to work. But if we have a chance to get him, we'd like to have him. He's got two other teams plus Seattle that wants to match [his contract offers]."
It's a dramatic change in approach by the taterskins to free agency. In the past, the 'Skins would close the deal quickly and decisively, usually by overpaying via a multi-year contract that was destined to be terminated in a couple of years.
Indeed, Hackett was the first free-agent that the 'Skins hosted this year. They previously have re-signed two of their own free agents — quarterback Todd Collins and running back Rock Cartwright . . . Cartwright!
Hackett will visit the Panthers and the Buccaneers. The Seahawks also have an interest in bringing him back.
i wouldnt laugh at that...you want the taterskins panicing and overspending on players that arent worth it vs thinking thru things and making intelligent bids on guys...its always been said that if the skins could spend the money they have more wisely theyd be dangerous..lets hope that doesnt come true

Get over it, Skins fan.
LOL at the Racists. Wouldn't you think they'd have spoken to the agent before the visit and gotten the numbers squared away first before bringing him in and putting him through his paces?
Hell, no. This is the taterskins we're talking about.

QuoteMan I feel like crying everytime I see something about Sean Taylor!

QuoteLook at the picture.....it's not about Taylor, it's about the taterskins.
Yes, Taylor is in the large picture backgroud/stand but look at the smaller pictures attached to the Taylor pic. it's about the Skins.
Matter of fact, Sammy Baugh, what looks like Green and maybe a RB are on the smaller pics. Maybe the HOF will have a thing on Taylor, but maybe they should have a section about players who died while active players in the NFL (there are a few not just Sean).
Sadly, Sean will not be induted into the HOF.
i wish they would put him in the hall then use his mugshot as the picture
And the slug they extracted from his ballsac (too far?)

Jerome Brown should be in the Hall of Fame! He's the first 2 time all-pro to flip a corvette! He wasn't robbed of a career by his body! He got robbed because he drove a vette like an idiot on wet roads with his little nephew in the car!
Might I also add that I think JB was twice the player and man that the thug Taylor was.

Washington taterskins Pledge to Help Native American Groups
The Washington taterskins announced today that the team will donate five percent of stadium firewater sales to Native American groups. The organization hopes the move will deflect mounting pressure to change their nickname in light of the NCAA's decision on American Indian names and mascots.
"Indians across the country should know that the Washington taterskins organization will support them and their savage culture to the death, even if that death should come because of scalping," said Stiffy Johnson.
"That's why five percent of firewater sales at FedEx Field this year will go to Indian organizations, which I think most everyone would agree is more than generous since these people all own casinos nowadays."
In addition to the donation from beer sales, the team will offer several ways for fans to donate money. They will be able to pay $5 at various booths around the stadium to toss a hatchet at the head of a blond settler girl mannequin. Another $5 will get fans a Washington taterskins game program written in Tonto-like syntax and grammar. "Jose Canseco. Write good. He like Guns. Many Home runs. Write new book. Me like, Kemosabe."
"Anyone who would still make the ludicrous claims that the taterskins name demeans Indians is completely hopeless. We obviously seek to honor them in everything we do," said Stiffy. "The taterskins are very respectful of coloreds of all hues."

Happy B-day Sean Taylor!

Happy Birthday Sean!
QuoteHappy birthday Sean!
Instead of blowing out candles he blows up fools. :-D
QuoteToday Sean Taylor should be celebrating his birthday with his friends and family. For those of us still mourning the loss of ST, today might be a difficult day. I am choosing to take the approach of celebrating his life today. He was an amazing football player and he transformed himself to become an amazing man. Sean, thank you for gracing us with your presence here on earth for 24 years. I wish you could be turning 25 today, but we are lucky that you were here at all.
You're in my heart, Sean! My thoughts also go out to Sean's parents; to both Jackies; to the rest of Sean's family, and to Clinton, Santana, and all of Sean's other close friends.
(In case anyone is about to jump on me for starting another thread about ST, people frequently remember the deceased on their birthday and the anniversary of their death. Today should be a day to think about Sean a little extra, if you choose to do so. If that's not your style, please don't criticize anyone who handles things differently, and let others remember him in their own way.)

my boy called me and said he just heard on the colin cowherd show that mort said the bengals rejected a trade offer for ocho from the taterskins that involved their 1st round pick this year and next
if they rejected that trade they're insane.
that would be classic taterskins
point and laugh at the bengals?
who needs a QB when you can have 54 WRs?
key words are "involved two firsts"...maybe the skins were asking for other picks and/or plays in addition to ocho
the taterskins are going to be awful in 2008, so basically the bengals rejected a decent first rounder this year and a likely top 10 pick next year for a guy who doesn't want to play for them ever again.
i don't believe it, though. there's no way an offer like that gets rejected. not even by someone as ignorant as mike brown.
supposedly it was this years 1st and a conditional 3rd next year that could escalate into a first

QuoteHow serious are the Cincinnati Bengals about not giving in to Chad Johnson's trade demands?
Serious enough to swat away an offer from the Washington taterskins that could have netted the Bengals two first round draft picks, team and league sources said.
The taterskins offered this year's first round pick, No. 21 overall, and a conditional third rounder in 2009 that could escalate to a first rounder if Johnson and the taterskins hit certain performance levels, the sources said.
It was not the first time the taterskins approached the Bengals about a deal but it was the first significant proposal.
The Bengals have not only rejected the taterskins, but two other NFC East suitors -- the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles -- have been informed that there has been no change in the team's position that Johnson will not be traded.
The Bengals have noted to those suitors that Johnson has been the "second-highest paid receiver" in the NFL during the past three years, indignant about suggestions that Johnson also wants a new contract, the sources said.
Trading Johnson also would mean Cincinnati would take an $8 million salary cap hit, but that amount could be split over the next two years. Additionally, as one anonymous owner told ESPN.com, "There's nothing wrong with dead money. It's cash already paid and it's cash back in your pocket that you don't have to spend, especially with the [high] amount of everyone's salary cap these days."

The organization that has the most trouble controlling it's players it telling their most talented play to keep his word and sit out....somehow very ironic.
I do hope that if he doesn't show up they really do make him sit out....

The Bengals are trying to take the stand that the Eagles tried and failed - if you are under contract, you aren't going to become a free agent by whining.
The league is going to have to address this issue eventually. Perhaps a draft pick penalty for teams that sign a player that was under contract.
what?
Team has player locked up in long term deal.
Another player at the same position gets a big money deal.
Agent whispers in players ear that they should be getting more money.
Player starts whining to the press, sits out of camp, does sit-ups in the driveway, etc.
Team cuts player and player gets a free-agent deal.
The Eagles tried suspending, then benching TO, but the player's association basically told the Eagles that they had to cut TO if they weren't going to play him.
What's in it for the team? You can't force a player to play for a team they don't want to play for. They need to reduce the incentive for a player to cause problems with their current team by eliminating the certainty of a fat deal once they are cut loose.
I understand the premise. I just don't see how the league can penalize a team for signing someone who is an unrestricted free agent because of a mutual agreement between him and his former team.
I think the better course of action would be to provide a compensatory selection in the draft based on the player's salary from the new team, personally.

I have a problem with that "mutual agreement" being made under duress. The Eagles basically got an ultimatum from the league on TO: play him or cut him. Benching him (as a punishment for being a distraction) was not an option.
It will be interesting to see how the Bengals situation plays out.

I think it is a possibility that these ridiculous trade offers are being made to run up the prices of WRs so that teams like Philly and Dallas, who are looking for big name WRs, cant afford them. Who could match or exceed the offers that we have made? We all know that Cincy or Zona wouldnt even consider trades until the picks being offered are on the clock and they know who can be taken. I know it sounds crazy, but what if both teams decided to leak trade talks to benefit from each other?

QuotePortis Gets Restructured Deal
The taterskins have guaranteed the next two seasons of running back Clinton Portis's contract, according to league sources, after restructuring his contract again this offseason and giving him a new $9.32 million signing bonus to lower his cap figure. Portis is guaranteed $15 million through the 2010 season (though not all of his 2010 salary is guaranteed), a significant investment in a 26-year-old running back who has struggled through injuries and conditioning issues. . . .
The taterskins have issued roughly $48 million in roster and option bonuses to players on the roster in 2008, according to NFL Management Council reports. Their signing-bonus spending is second-most in the league despite the team not investing any bonus money on outside free agents.

I love the death penalty in theory. In practice it has been misused. But abstractly, I love me some revenge killing.
I have no problem with individual vendetta's. I have a problem with the state murdering its citizens under the guise of justice. Oh, and Carrie-Anne Moss is on television right now in Red Planet. Horrible movie but goddamn it, she's hot.
Intellectually, I agree. Governments should probably not be allowed to end the lives of their citizens, especially in our case since it has more or less been only black men who have actually been killed. I get all of that and there's a part of me that agrees.
What I'm saying is that mass murderers, rapists, 'insert generic derogatory name for an anti-social douche who cannot function within the bounds of decent human behavior', whatever forfeit their right to life when they start killing others. It would be great if we could count on individual vendettas to take care of that, then we could believe that our government is above things like that and we'd all sleep tight at night, but we can't count on individuals to go all Charles Bronson on people so I can't hate the death penalty the way I would if I had only read about it in a text book.
I have no trouble opposing it in all cases. It's an extreme position I make no apology for: a government that kills its own citizens by policy is a bad government, and one that no citizen could rightfully be expected to respect, serve, etc.

Of the bunch listed there he is the only one I have feelings about one way or the other. His message of peace has nothing to do with it, though. He espoused intelligence and freedom and color-blindness. He also got lots of ass.
In a word, he espoused justice.
He opposed the death penalty, of course. And not just because blacks were disproportionately put down. Because it's unjust.
OK, but I don't care about that.
I think they should gas Jim Zorn and Joe Gibbs, THEN abolish the death penalty.

Here's the Brennan thing...
QuoteA lot of pundits think that Brennan will be nothing more than an Arena League quarterback because he doesn't have the ideal size, throwing motion or overall quickness that translate to the NFL. But the one thing about Brennan is that anytime someone questions his ability, he always bounces back and proves all of his doubters wrong.
In the last ten years, there have been four quarterbacks selected in the sixth round that have gone on to be Pro Bowl players: Matt Hasselbeck, Marc Bulger, Tom Brady and Derek Anderson. I'm not going to compare Brennan with any of the quarterbacks mentioned, but his resiliency is uncanny, and nothing seems to faze him.
Brennan is in the perfect situation with the taterskins to show he's capable of being an efficient NFL quarterback. New Head Coach Jim Zorn brings his West Coast offense to Washington, and Brennan is the perfect QB to develop in this offense. Although he worked out of the shotgun at Hawaii, Brennan has experience in the West Coast system going back to his high school days. Brennan's quick release, accuracy and ability to run the offense will be enough to push Jason Campbell for the starting job in two years.
Did this idiot see Brennan play against Georgia?
Good God.
When the skins start to employ the 3-QB offense with Campbell, Collins, and Brennan... we're all going to be in a lot of trouble!
If Colt Brennan is going to be a very vaulable player, what does that mean for Campbell?
I would actually enjoy Colt being good enough to cause a QB controversy in Washington.
a three headed monster at quaterback. shtein
it still can't be as powerful as Tampa
I called Steuber on his retarded Colt Brennan forecast and this is his reply:
QuoteYeah, the Eagles had three sixth round picks and with their first sixth rounder they selected OG Mike Gibson out of California. Two picks later, the taterskins selected Brennan. I can guarantee you that if Colt stayed on the board for the Eagles next two selections, which were compensation picks, he would have been an Eagle. He's the perfect West Coast offense quarterback. He's in a great situation in Washington and in two years I can see him being the starter.
They selected a developmental offensive guard before a quarterback who's going to be a "starter" in two years.
Seriously. He actually said that.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3414445
Vinny Cerrato called the Vikings and begged them not to release Erasmus James, but rather trade him to the Skins for a conditional seventh rounder.
:-D
I doubt there was much begging. Vikings win, because they get something out of nothing. For the Skin's, it's a very low risk move for a former first round pick. If the kids knees hold up, great move. If not, they're out a 7th, no big deal.
So you didn't actually read the story then.
Coolamundo.
you must not have either...he offered the pick because several other teams with a higher waiver priority had put in a claim on james and the skins would have lost him had they not made the deal

QuoteSANTANA MOSS PARTIED TOO HARD TO MAKE MONDAY'S PRACTICE
Posted by Josh Alper on June 3, 2008, 4:15 p.m.
We told you yesterday that the taterskins were without LaRon Landry and Shawn Springs at Monday's OTAs but we didn't tell you that Santana Moss also missed the practice.
The official reason given was that Moss had the flu but he came clean on Tuesday to the Washington Post. He was sick but it was because he spent the whole weekend celebrating his birthday, it was on Sunday, and the body takes a little bit longer to recover at 29 than it does at 19. "I told them you think you're still young and you can still hold up, but they all know what time it was. Have to chalk it up and be ready the next day," Moss said.
As for the non-party related absences, Landry showed up today and said he was taking care of family matters. He practiced with the first team. Springs was absent again, however. Despite reports that it was simply a missed flight that caused his absence, it seems likely that the Skins won't see him until training camp.
Moss spent the practice catching bombs from Jim Zorn who, based on the above and the Fred Davis situation, is clearly running a looser camp than his predecessor.
QuoteWhile shopping at Lakeforest Mall earlier this week, someone stole my taterskin car magnets. I was ticked that someone took my "Go Skins" one because I don't see it in stores any more, I can't find it online, and I really like that one. But taking my one in remembrance of ST really got to me. That one's easily replaceable, but I found it very disturbing that someone could steal a commemorative for a deceased person. When talking to a neighbor, she said that someone had stolen an American flag car magnet off her car. What's up with this country where people are stealing tributes to dead people and symbols of patriotism?
By the way, they left my Met car magnet on the car. They took only my two taterskin car magnets (all three had been across the back of the car). They must not have seen my taterskin antenna topper because they didn't take that.
When I headed back to the mall to get a replacement ST car magnet, the taterskins Store employee told me that he's heard a few people say that they have had their taterskin car magnets stolen. He recommends that people pull them inside the car when they're parked. Realistically I won't end up doing that, and besides, I need to see those car magnets on the back of the car to help me find my car in a parking lot!
Has anybody else had car magnets stolen? I find this situation unsettling. I also want to give a head's up to others about this problem. Only in America (and perhaps other developed countries).
:-D
ONLY IN AMERICA!!!
Watch out for those car magnet thieves, CF.

QuoteLast night, it was cold in my room, so I woke up to put on my taterskins flannel pants.
This morning, it was still cold, so I put on my taterskins sweatshirt and headed downstairs.
After grabbing my taterskins glass, I sat down for breakfast, flipping through the Post to see what was going on with our boys while going to the NFL Network to see if they were showing anything on them.
I realized that I left my phone upstairs (How can a 23-year-old live without his phone?!), so I sprinted upstairs to get it. It was on my desk next to my computer monitor, with Sean Taylor as its background and ES on the Vista taskbar.
I opened it up and had two texts (No, they were NOT from my mom), so I read them, cleared them, and I saw a picture of Fed Ex from my seats up in 402 taken on November 5, 2006 (Hand of God game).
I headed back downstairs to finish up breakfast, and then I went to shower to get ready for the day. Afterwards, I picked out what I was going to wear based on, as always, whatever taterskins hat I was going to wear (Retro script R today) and headed out to get some packing taken out of where my wisdom teeth were last week.
I go out of my house and lock the door using my taterskins key. I head to my car with the taterskins license plate frame and Sean Taylor magnet ribbon on the back, and I get inside. The Sun wasn't out, but it was bright, so I instinctively pulled down the visor which had a taterskins CD holder attachment that matched the dangling Indian head logo air freshener (which hadn't worked in about a year).
I drove to my oral surgeon, and when the receptionist put me in the chair, I saw a picture of the surgeon's kid with Tiki Barber. I cringed. The doctor came in and said, "Why the hell are you wearing that hat in here? To piss me off?" "Nah," I replied, "I just wanted to remind you of the winner of our last game." He laughed, pulled out the packing, and I was on my way home.
I came home, talked some trash to my friends who are Ravens fans ("Dude, I don't care WHAT you have to say. You lost to the DOLPHINS. Check effing mate.") and made a few posts on here. I had to do some laundry, so I organized all 16 of my hats and put away my four jerseys (Taylor/Taylor Pro Bowl/Landry/Moss).
Now, I'm killing time until I can go out and meet this girl who I started talking to and find a balance between being a good date (I mean, it is a date, right?) and being a good taterskins fan (she's from Jersey, so she likes the Giants) all while being in the middle of Ravens country in Towson.
That's just one day of how the taterskins affect my day to day life. What about you?
Is that Mini-Art?
that was farging awful...
I read things like that and I'm convinced that humanity is worth saving.

now for an unprovoked rant about how much someone loves the taterskins
Quote
So many of you young bucks see only the negative things of this team. I am old school and started loving this team since 1971. I experienced great and terrible years with this team, but all true taterskin fans never even think of jumping on another band wagon on or saying im done with this team.
I will be the first to say I was heart broken to see Gibbs and Williams go, like Blondie said, I have the most respect for Joe Gibbs next to my own father. We lost a great coach, but open your eyes people to what he has built here since his return. Joe Gibbs inherited a turd from Steve spurrier and in only 2 years he built us a team that could have beat anyone in the NFL if it wasnt for injuries to major weapons.
Now Joe Gibbs is gone, but he left us that team that he has built, a team that we all have seen can beat the best in the NFL, and even in there stadium. Most of this team has been together now for 3 and 4 years, and this is what makes excellent teams, its being together, knowing each other and this team has this going on right now.
Even adding more weapons to positions that needed depth. I didnt know what to think about Zorn at first, but remember this, This man played under a very attaking offense and he has been around to make top offense teams. Unlike Joe Gibbs, Jim Zorn inherited a team that knows how to fight when the seasons on the line, they didnt lose that when Gibbs left. This is what Joe Gibbs brought here, and it will rub off on these new players and rookies.
My first thoughts was oh boy here we go again rebuilding, but the fact is we are not rebuilding, we are adding a very dangerous offense to this team and the most important thing is not one team in the NFL knows how we are going to even attack them.
Bash anyone you want people, but the fact is we have some very hungry players who knows this team has all potential to beat anyone, and we needed a change in schemes in or offense, which we got. The more I see what Jim Zorn doing, the more it matches with what Gibbs brought to this franchise, and guess what faithless fans, that won us 3 out of 4 SuperBowls.
Am I saying we can win this division and hit the show? no, but someone prove to me why we dont have a very good chance not to. We still have a solid team who was taught to fight to the very last play, we have even more weapons and depth, and we DO have a coach who has ben there and done that, who can read defenses, teach JC how to be his best, and like many say, he has so much potential. I myself have a very good feeing that this team is more then able to put up many points in games.
As far as Defense, I loved what Blache noticed we were missing, need to our front 4! Richi Petitebone proved to the league that if you can rush a QB, he will end up making major mistakes, and we didnt have that with Greg Williams D, plain and simple fact. Thats what seperates championship defenses from just a top 10.
This team is so full of potential with an added twist to use all the weapons on the offense. The west coast offense does not handcuff weapons, they turn them lose and let them shine and show what they can do. Its a good chance we could be in for one awesome treat with this new game plan, and if it takes time to develope, Im still standing beside this team because the Redkins are family to real fans, not a bandwagon!
What the farg did Jim Zorn ever do?
From Wikipedia:
TD-INT 111-141
Career QB rating 67.3%
Never made it to a SB, and even played as a scab.
Super. Bowl.
You know what they say......those that can't do, coach. Which means Bobby Hoying will one day be regarded as the greatest coach the NFL has ever seen.
Zorn loves Jesus even more than Gibbs does. That's enough qualification for most Skins fans.
Good gawd, homer doesn't even begin to describe some of those jerkoffs at ES.
There is no way that a white, position coach from the north can ever transition to a good head coach!
Wait...
I still think he will suck.

QuoteJudge says American Indians waited too long to sue taterskins
Associated Press
Updated: July 11, 2008, 5:58 PM ET
WASHINGTON -- The Washington taterskins have won the latest round in a 16-year court battle against a group of American Indians, prevailing on a technicality that again skirts the issue of whether the team's nickname is racially offensive.
In a ruling dated June 25 and first circulated Thursday, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled that the youngest of the seven Native American plaintiffs waited too long after turning 18 to file the lawsuit that attempts to revoke the taterskins trademarks.
The lead plaintiff, Suzan Shown Harjo, said Friday the group will appeal.
"She ruled as we anticipated she would: for the loophole that would allow everyone to avoid the merits of the case," said Harjo, president of the Washington-based Morning Star Institute that advances Native American causes.
Harjo and her fellow plaintiffs have been working since 1992 to have the taterskins trademarks declared invalid. They initially won -- the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office panel canceled the trademarks in 1999 -- but Kollar-Kotelly overturned the ruling in 2003 in part because the suit was filed decades after the first taterskins trademark was issued in 1967.
The U.S. Court of Appeals then sent the case back to Kollar-Kotelly, noting that the youngest of the plaintiffs was only 1 year old in 1967 and therefore could not have taken legal action at the time.
But Kollar-Kotelly's new ruling rejects that possible argument. She wrote that the youngest plaintiff turned 18 in 1984 and therefore "waited almost eight years" after coming of age to join the lawsuit.
The judge did not address whether the taterskins name is offensive or racist. She wrote that her decision was not based on the larger issue of "the appropriateness of Native American imagery for team names."
The taterskins declined to comment, referring calls to attorney Bob Raskopf, who has been representing the team and the NFL in the case. Raskopf did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
The case now heads back to the U.S. Court of Appeals. Should it agree that Harjo's group was too old to sue, she has a backup plan: A group of six American Indians ranging in age from 18 to 24 filed essentially the same lawsuit two years ago. That suit is on hold until Harjo's case is resolved.
Harjo therefore anticipates that one day, a court will have to decide once and for all whether the taterskins name is offensive.
"It's so ironic that they would like to get rid of this though the loophole of passage of time, when we're in our 16th year of litigation," Harjo said. "Unbelievable. If this [lawsuit] were a child, we would be preparing the child to go to college."

I put the over under at about 6-7 years for it to get resolved by the justice system. A wild card would be Danny Boy trying to curry some favor by offering to change it on his own. It wouldn't appear that's happening anytime soon either, but if he thinks that legal enforcement of the change is inevitable, he will try to make a PR play to change it ahead of any legal mandate.

QuoteFAVRE TO THE taterskinS?Posted by Mike Florio on July 15, 2008, 2:11 p.m. EDT
A reader tells us that WFAN's Mike Francesa said earlier this afternoon that the Packers could be trading quarterback Brett Favre to the Carolina Panthers or the Washington taterskins for a conditional first-round draft pick.
The problem in that regard is that the Panthers don't own a first-rounder in 2009; they traded it to the Eagles. But maybe the Packers would settle for the equivalent of a round-one selection under the points chart that teams use to value draft picks.
We'd previously heard that Favre's agent, Bus Cook, had been saying privately that Favre wants to play for the Panthers. We hadn't previously considered the taterskins, but the light bulb finally flickered during a Tuesday afternoon radio visit with Big O & Dukes of WJFK in D.C.
Jim Zorn is the new coach of the taterskins, and he'll be using a version of the West Coast offense. Favre has been running the West Coast offense for his entire career.
Also, taterskins owner Dan Snyder has a history of targeting big-name players, and of giving up draft picks to get them. Given that franchise quarterbacks rarely if ever are available via trade or otherwise, perhaps Snyder and the 'Skins won't be able to resist.
HA
Dream scenerio... they get him surrender a first and he plays like the old farve, throw it up and hope one of his wr's catches it
That would be so farging awesome. Can you imagine the hate that would be dumped on him twice a year when they played the Eagles? Well, except in SunMo's section of course. They'd probably quietly applaud his longevity and talk about what a 'gamer' he is.

ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington taterskins defensive end Phillip Daniels was undergoing tests on his left knee Sunday after injuring it during the first practice of training camp.
Daniels was hurt on the first play of 7-on-7 offense vs. defense drills.
He stayed down on the turf for several minutes before being taken away on a cart.
taterskins coach Jim Zorn said Daniels was having an MRI exam on the knee. Zorn added that the team is "hoping that all it is, is a hyperextension."
lol
Phillip Daniels Out For Season
Jason Reid has learned that Phillip Daniels is out for the season. We are still pinning down the exact specifics of the knee injury, but it is indeed season-ending, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
The taterskins were already thin at DE, and losing a starter on the first play of 7-on-7 drills is never a good thing, obviously.
McDougle for Thrash trade?
Very first play of TC and he blows out a knee. Weird, sounds like LeCharles Bently. Send him to Cleveland Clinic for treatment and rehab.

I would be excited about that. This season is almost certain to be a wash for the skins since they suck and have a new coach and suck. So having them trade away even more draft picks for a guy who's a year or two from retiring would be fairly hilarious.
Another DE carted off the field

HAHA
whats wrong with that...id give a second for taylor if i was the birds and trent cole went down...take a look at the skins depth chart at de without daniels...thats the real HAHA
Taylor's done.
I don't think he's done at all. I just think that he won't make a lick of difference in the big picture and the more draft picks they give away the better.
a first day pick next for an old DE..sounds great to me
so he's going to report for injury practice when??
He's an undersized defensive who by his own admission is in the last year of his playing career.
But right - he's not done. Not at all.
any move a rival makes is bad...got it
he had 11 sacks last year and has said hed be willing to play another 2-3 years if he was with a contender and paid
wanna go on record on who will have more sacks this year taylor or killa...ill take taylor
just a question...are mcnabb and dawkins "done"
O/U for Taylor sacks this year... 9.5.

welcome to the dark side easy
You predicting success for Taylor in Washington is one thing, but saying he'll get more sacks than Cole just to reinforce your point is pathetic, IGY. You're actually suggesting a bet whereby you'll win if an Eagle will perform at a lower level than a hated rival. And it's not the first time you've done it either. You do it with the Flyers and the Phillies too.
Just sad, man. Sad.
The taterskin lover in igy is surfacing before the season even starts.
I don't know who is going to have more sacks, Cole or Taylor, but I'll say this. Going against Carter and Taylor every down when McNabb will have to wait 10 seconds for a WR to get open is scary. I hope Kolb is ready, because McNabb might not make it out of this division alive with the pass rush going on here.

I agree with this. I don't see the Skins as a sudden Superbowl contender because they added Jason Taylor. So why trade a future 2nd and 6th for him? He'll register double digit sacks for them next season but in the grand scheme of things this is the Skins adding another big name in the offseason. He's no doubt an upgrade over Daniels.
I'm a little disappointed there haven't been any Sean Taylor jokes yet. Taylor/Taylor/Miami/Skins etc.

btw i was looking at the heights and weights of nfl defensive ends and i was always under the impression that strahan was like 270-275 but all i see him listed as is 255...was this really his weight?...jesus he was jacked
I think Strahan was in the 275 range 3-4 years ago then dropped 20 lbs to lengthen his career.

He used to be listed at 275 but always played at more like 265-270.... near the end of his career he was down around 255 though.
If Cole has any help at all this year he'll get more sacks than Taylor by a healthy margin. Cole's problem on the Eagles is the same as Taylor's problem on the taterskins. Who the hell else do you have to pass-block on these defenses? If either of them have help their numbers go up, if not they are what they are. I would give the edge to Cole in either case, which is why I said Cole would beat Taylor by a healthy margin with some help, but still they are in similar situations.

taylor has andre carter...killa has abiamiri...thats a huge gap
as much as i like killa he doesnt garner near the respect that taylor does...i think taylor might help carter get 15 sacks this year more than he himself might put up monster numbers which i dont think a 33 year old de can do...theres no question that taylor is on the decline but he still was dpoy two years ago and had double digit sacks last year and andre carter is better than what jt was across from last year

A phins fan posted this on ES:
QuoteI just heard the news. Congrats on your new acquisition!
Just so you know what youre getting.
You're getting a defensive monster. Or should I say, a previous monster. I don't know what has gotten into your taterskins to think that you should switch his position. He will not succeed at LE. He has lost a lot of his mass over the past 2 years, and cannot take on those double teams vs the run anymore. He will still get you some sacks, however. He has no loyalty to ANY team, and he will quit on you if he once it appears likely that you wont be winning a title. He will fake injuries just to get some rest, then be right back on the field when he feels like it. As Dolphins fans, we all kinda wanted JT to return to camp and play in Miami, or just retire, to preserve his legacy. But we got a great price for him, and are glad to be rid of him. The drama he has caused was all on his part. As soon as Zach, his brother in law, got cut from the Phins, he got jealous and wanted to be traded to a contender. I don't mean any disrespect, but the taterskins are not a contender the same way Dallas is. I will always pull for the Skins over any other team in the NFC east, but they got some screws loose in the team philosophy department. But I digress, JT will disappoint most of you. Especially if you take him out of his free-range DE/OLB role. He is best when the defense doesnt know where he is. But lining him up at LE, combined with his willingness to give up, and you have got disaster written all over this scenario. This all goes without saying that he has been out partying and living it up, instead of getting in football form.

Are you just "meeting" IGY for the first time? He only ever puts his money down against Philly sports teams. I'm the same way, just not as eager to do it.
The fact is that he cannot *lose* this bet. Either one of his favorite players for his favorite team does well enough to cost him a meager $10, or he gets to say "I told you so" and nabs some beer money.
In other news, anyone who in any way bets with the Eagles loses.

I think most everyone gets it, but amazingly some find it to be one of the more annoying habits of your online persona.
i like to lose, it's part of why I love the Philadelphia Eagles
no you cant say i told you something was gonna happen when you never believed it would...that is retarded...you can be happy you as dio said won the beer money but you cant use it to big up your knowledge of the situation
its not an online persona...there is nothing i do online that i dont do off...either way anyone that would get annoyed by a bet i make needs to check themselves...but if it makes you feel better think of me as the pussssie...someone that isnt willing to go for it all...because dio in this bet can win both the money and with his team...i can only win one way or the other...mine is the safer bet but his is the more daring
Rooting for the skins would have worked out a lot better for you over the last 15 years. They suck even more.
for who, me? yeah, I suppose....but I don't like them, or their town (DC sucks). so the fact they lose more just isn't enough
I haven't weighed in on this yet, but I don't think it makes the Skins THAT much better. I mean they're taking an old DE with questionable football desire at this point and plugging him in on a side he's not that comfortable with; and with the injuries, they'll probably play him more snaps than they should. Even so, I think Taylor can have success, but I don't know that it will be a difference maker for the Skins-- I mean, they took two WRs in the first two rounds, and I don't think either of them will contribute much this year.
They have a first time head-coach who will install a vastly different offense than they ran last year, with a QB who really isn't all that suited to run it. If they really struggle on offense, I'm not sure it matters what happens with Taylor. And the Skins lose yet another high pick.
I think it was good move for the Fins who clearly weren't going to do anything this year, but I don't think it's a huge win for the Skins. I feel pretty indifferent about it. I'd feel worse about it if he went to the Cowboys.
I agree with Z. If there's one team in the division that I'd pick for Taylor to go to... it'd be the Skins, without question.
I think Taylor does have something left... but in all honesty, I don't think he'll matter that much one way or the other for them. He doesn't vault them to Super Bowl contender... I don't even think it stops them from being the most likely team to finish last in the NFCE. I's actually be somewhat surprised if he hit double-digit sacks again.
Then, think of how much fun it could be at next year's draft if they're watching Miami use their 2nd rounder on a player who just retired a couple months before.
This move is Bruce Smith Part II.
Nothing more.
Richard Dent + Bruce Smith?
Yeah, really. One too many lortabs this morning.
:-D
I will hereby bet any one of you FOURTEEN MILLION DOLLARS that my overpaid athlete on a team that supposedly represents their metroploitan region has more sacks than your overpaid athlete on a team that supposedly represents their metropolitan region.

Bet with your head, not your heart. The Eagles will never win 19 gmaes in a season, why lose money pretending that they will?
And since they are the team that you know the best, why not use that to make some money, while still hoping for them to win?
^^^^
another smart guy
no easier way to make money than to make bets with homers
and no one is saying taylor is worth five wins or anything but he improves a position on the team that was previously pathetic...and anytime you can do that youve done a good thing...sure you can argue if what they gave up was to much but to try and shtein all over taylor reeks of haterism
if campbell progresses and has a good year which is a HUGE if the skins are definitely a better team than the eagles...take a look at their roster its pretty impressive...its just that the most important position is their weakest...but even with that they made the playoffs last year
New coach and suspect defensive talent = no hope for the taterskins.
It's third and 3. If someone were to bet you ten bucks that Reid calls a run and it picks up a first down, is anyone going to pass that up?
I'd bet on a 1yrd pass to the full back.
I'd bet on an incomplete pass deep.

fair point on the coach which is why i said on paper the skins are better not that they would definitely have a better record than the eagles...and the skins actually have pretty damn good defensive talent...their front seven is nice and landry is an absolute stud...corners are somewhat of a question but rogers looked a lot better last year before he got hurt and smoot had a comeback year
Westbrook alone makes the Eagles better than the taterskins, nevermind the rest of that tripe.
It's that time of year again, when IGY is absolutely sure that the skins are going to be just good enough for him to have a hell of a time dealing with all the skins fan iceholes in his hometown. So, he takes it all out on us with ridiculous predictions.

Devin Thomas: Pulled Hamstring
Devin Thomas, the wide receiver who was the taterskins' first overall pick in the April draft, was taken from the field on a cart after suffering what Coach Jim Zorn said is a pulled hamstring. Zorn, speaking immediately after the morning practice, said the team was not yet certain of the severity of the injury.
might have to bump that up to a torn hammy if he was taken off on a cart
everyone is taken off on carts in training camp because the walk to the dorm (in the case of the eagles) or training complex in the case of the skins is often a pretty long distance...also its not like during a game where you come to the sideline they sit you down and try to get you back in...if you get hurt in a tc practice youre done for the day
all we can do is hope its torn
Let's go with the theory that it is torn and bump the hope up to an amputation.

We've gotten plenty of e-mails from taterskins fans who believe that, on the weekend that the latest two D.C. Hall of Famers were enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the taterskins might have found their next potential bronze bust for Canton.
Rookie quarterback Colt Brennan, a Heisman hype recipient who slid to round six after getting picked apart in the Sugar Bowl, gaining lots of weight in the offseason, and needing hip surgery before the draft, completed nine of ten passes and threw for two touchdowns during the second half of the annual Hall of Fame game, leading the taterskins to a 30-16 win over the Colts.
But, folks, it was garbage time in a meaningless game that featured little or no actual game planning or other strategery. Though we're not saying Brennan won't someday become a stud quarterback (as we've learned over the past several years, certain sixth-round quarterbacks can do fairly good things), Brennan's good run in glorified practice against a bunch of defensive players who'll likely be looking for work a month from now isn't cause for celebration.
Instead, taterskins fans should be far happier that starter Jason Campbell completed five of five passes for 61 yards and a touchdown in two shots at running the new offense that coach Jim Zorn has brought to town.
Chris Steuber was whipping his cock after seeing Brennan last night.

Though were not saying Brennan wont someday become a stud quarterback (as weve learned over the past several years, certain sixth-round quarterbacks can do fairly good things), Brennans good run in glorified practice against a bunch of defensive players wholl likely be looking for work a month from now isnt cause for celebration.
Instead, taterskins fans should be far happier that starter Jason Campbell completed five of five passes for 61 yards and a touchdown in two shots at running the new offense that coach Jim Zorn has brought to town.
im listening to Sirius NFL radio, some hick from VA just called in and said Colt Brennan reminds him of Tom Brady..lol
Two WRs can't pass a physical agility test? (SMoot couldn't pass it either)....
QuoteZorn Tries To Whip Rookies Into Shape
Coach Scolds WRs For Poor Fitness
Washington taterskins Coach Jim Zorn chided Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas yesterday for their lack of conditioning and said he anticipates the injured rookie wide receivers will have a hard time having an impact on the offense early this season.
Kelly, who has hamstring and knee injuries, and Thomas, who has a hamstring injury, were hurt early in training camp and are likely weeks from a full return. Both were selected in the second round of the NFL draft in April with hopes of immediately diversifying Washington's attack.
Kelly, 21, underwent arthroscopic surgery Monday to remove floating particles from his left knee, and Zorn said the early prognosis of a return in two weeks was "ambitious." Thomas, 21, was able to take part in limited drills in practice yesterday but is unlikely to be able to practice fully until next week at the earliest.
Neither, Zorn said, was able at the start of training camp to pass the team's conditioning test requiring players to complete a series of sprints within a certain time frame. That lack of preparation could lead to their muscles breaking down so quickly, he said. Players are required to run 12 25-yard dashes within a certain time (less than a minute for wide receivers), then rest for 60 seconds before repeating the 12 dashes.
"If you can't pass that physical test that we give, then something's not right," Zorn said. "So I've been kind of jabbing at them with that. . . . I wish I could take the test just to show everybody that I was in good shape. It's sort of a pride issue."

Zorn hinted that the satisfaction of being high draft picks may have contributed to the players' lack of conditioning, but said he did not know for sure.
"He wasn't necessarily in condition to go through a training camp like this," Zorn said of Kelly. "He really wasn't. They'll have to reevaluate their offseason program as young rookies."
Given their prolonged absences and the problems many young wide receivers have adapting to the West Coast offense and the NFL in general, Zorn said they may not be able to do much in the basic offense at the start of the season. They are falling behind other wide receivers; veteran James Thrash is putting a stranglehold on the No. 3 spot behind starters Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle El.
"I've had this happen in other places I've coached, and it's very difficult," Zorn said of young wide receivers missing training camp time. "When you interview them, 'It's going to be easy.' They're going to walk around and go: 'This is nothing. I'll get this right away.'
"But once they get out there and they really see what they have to do and how exact they have to be and the speed at which they have to play and the intensity -- then I think they'll see. Now, can we get them in and work them in? Yes. Will they get up to speed? Yes. But this is valuable time."
Thomas, as Zorn predicted, minimized the impact of missing this much time. "As far as making an impact from the get-go, I don't look at that as a difficult thing to do," Thomas said.
Scouts from other NFL teams said they had concerns about both players being "brittle" or susceptible to injury. They said they believe that was part of the reason Kelly and Thomas slipped into the second round.
Thomas had one highly productive season at Michigan State before leaving as a junior, while Kelly battled injuries all offseason and had slow 40-yard dash times at Oklahoma. He also slid in the draft after coming out as a junior.
Zorn has been blunt from the onset about the challenge both faced trying to adapt to his offense from college, although both have talents that mesh with West Coast system.
Kelly injured his hamstring July 25 and also began experiencing soreness in his knee. He had surgery on his knee Monday and was not available to comment. Zorn said orthopedist James Andrews probably will evaluate him again in a few weeks before Kelly is cleared for full practice drills.
"The two-a-day practices, they were getting to him," Zorn said.
Thomas hurt his hamstring making a catch July 24 -- he attributed the injury to failing to stretch properly when he initially felt the tightness -- and since has not taken part in team drills. He was on the field in the early potions of individual drills during yesterday's two sessions but spent the bulk of the time working with the trainers on his own. There is a chance he could be back for the third preseason game, Aug. 16.
"It was tough coming into the training camp right away," Thomas said. "It was an eye-opener. I definitely will be better prepared next year." Thomas said there was a lot being "thrown at" rookies at the time of the conditioning test but conceded that's "no excuse, it's something we should have passed."
Thomas and Kelly aimed to compete for the job as the third wide receiver but have not pushed the veterans.
Thrash, an intelligent player who is supremely conditioned and can play every wide receiver position, quickly wowed this coaching staff and appears poised to play more than he did in four years under Joe Gibbs.
"When a new coaching staff comes in you never quite know how you're going to fit in the new offense," Thrash said. "But I've always taken the same approach -- even with the same coaching staff -- and I just do the best I can to open his eyes and say, "Hey, where do you need me?' "
With Thomas and Kelly out for weeks, wide receivers such as Billy McMullen, Maurice Mann and Burl Toler are getting the chance. The onus will be on Kelly and Thomas to improve with haste once they can practice.
"My hope is that the younger guys like Malcolm and Devin will actually hang around and just sort of rub up right against" Thrash, Zorn said, "and then all that stuff will just ooze onto them, because he brings a lot to the table."

Nice built in excuses as to why the SKins will lose a PS game because of Brett Favre.
QuoteAnd So It Begins
Aug. 14, 2008
No one has been more pleasantly surprised with the State of the taterskins the past two weeks than I. Be it the consistently dangerous flow of the offense, the smoothness with which Jim Zorn has settled into his first head coaching job, or just the overall sense of camaraderie and potential pervading all things taterskin, everything has pretty much come up aces.
Thing is, we've been playing with house money. And that's about to change.
The Hall of Fame game against Indianapolis was a setup. There wasn't a football team in the universe that would have beaten the taterskins that night—not in that atmosphere, not on that field. Peyton Manning could have played the entire game and it wouldn't have mattered. The universe owed a debt of recognition to the Glory Years taterskins and simply chose, finally, to make good on it, aligning the stars with two moving and magical days of burgundy and gold celebration.
Many have said playing the Colts in Canton felt "like a home game" for the taterskins. It was more than that. It was a Homecoming.
And last week, beating the Buffalo Bills in Zorn's FedExField debut, while perhaps not as cosmically scripted, was still largely a no-brainer. It's a game they should have owned. 90,000 (or reasonable percentage thereof) screaming partisans, aglow and agrog from celebrating the end of another interminable offseason with their first tailgate of the new season ... watching an exciting and surprisingly crisp-looking young team that had yet to do anything bad this year to set the more dour among them to booing ... against an opponent that engenders little awe (no disrespect, Buffalo—just the way the cookie crumbles).
All in all, it's been a lot of fun. It's set the early part of the 2008 season to a stirring backbeat that's got taterskins fan tapping their feet and nodding their heads in rhythm. Me among them; I ain't too old to dance.
I'm just saying, Saturday things start getting real.
This week all the attention, energy, karma, expectation and other intangibles will be lurking on the other sideline. Brett Favre's debut as quarterback of the NY Jets has the News (York and Jersey), league and entire football world in a classic media feeding frenzy. After a week of almost championship-style buildup, be assured that the Meadowlands, and more importantly the New York Jets, will be as fired up for a preseason game as perhaps any time in that team's long, sad history since the day Joe Namath ran off the Orange Bowl field in Miami 39 ago wagging one finger in the air.
(Know what else was happening 39 years ago? Saint Favre was being conceived. Gives you chills man.)
Yeah, that's probably hyperbolic, but you get my drift. The taterskins have stumbled into a situation where they're set up as the proverbial 'opponent.' In the pregame billing, they're the Washington Generals to Brett's Favre's Harlem Globetrotters.
Which, as it happens, makes it equal parts possible reality check and potential springboard ...
QuoteWhy is it that after our first 2 preseason games, so called "experts" on ESPN, FOX, and other places still won't give our Skins' any credit? After watching the Eagles first team offense produce exactly 0 points in 6 possesions last night, people are still picking them to finish better than the Skins. I know it's just the preseason and you can't take too much from it, but from what I've seen from our first team, who hasn't come close to playing 6 series yet this season, we look much more ahead of schedule than any other team in our division. And people might say we've had 1 more game than everyone else to get on track, but our first team only had 3 plays and scored, and then were done for the night. I know the Cowgirls have talent, but I don't think they are that much better than us, and the Giants won't be as good as they were last year, as for the Eagles it looks like it's going to be the Brian Westbrook show again. Our offense seems very balanced with lots of weapons, so why can't we just get a little credit that we deserve!

Personally, I have a bad temper and a low tollerance for disrespect. I could care less about the name calling but if someone put their hands on me, I'd flip out. I've been known to handle myself fairly well so I wouldn't be concerned about one or two unruly fans...but there's no way I'd be able to take on several punk azz eagles fans by myself.

QuoteThe word of the day is 'pimpin,' and let me tell you; pimpin' ain't easy.
Murf and I arrived at the Newark Liberty International Airport ready to grab a rental car, hop in, and roll. As we walked in the Hertz we noticed the line stretching towards the back of the place. "You made a reservation," asked Murf. "Yea no," said I.
Murf stays in line as I run over to Avis; same line. I run to National, no cars available. I run back and get in the Hertz line. I'm nervous that they will run out of cars. I'm chatting with a guy in line and he is saying much it sucks to have to wait in line to get a reserved car. "I don't have a reservation," I say. "Really," he says. "Well, good luck." He looks like he is embarrassed for me.
15 minutes later I reach the counter and the lady asks if she can help. "I'd like to rent a car," I say. "Do you have a reservation," she asks. "No."
She begins to laugh, deep and long. The laugh was like that of a mother whose child has requested a live pony for Christmas, or like a state trooper who just pulled you over for doing 120 in a 55 and you ask him to cut you a break. "Sir, we are only serving customers with reservations," she says. "All I can suggest is that you go outside, call and make a reservation and come back in and maybe we will have a car." I explain that I have to get to the stadium to cover the game and don't have another 20 minutes to wait in line. She again explains that the computer is open only for folks with reservations and she points to demonstrate her point. "You see right there it says re...wait, it shows I have one car left," she says.
10 mintues later Murf and I are getting into our brand new Pontiac GT replete with chrome wheels and sunroof. The color? Burgundy, of course.
Pimpin' ain't easy.
So here we are at Giants Stadium for the game between the taterskins and Jets. I hear they have a new quarterback for the Jets but between you and me, I don't give a rat's ass. I'm here to watch the 'Skins and don't care about a 38-year old quarterback who throws as many picks as TDs.

Now put away the bait and try not to chum the waters here.

Yes, there are more Philly fans than I, or others here, would like to see in our home field. But then we have 90,000 plus seats. At most, we have had a few thousand Eagle fans at the games...and many have been rude and insulting people (note I will not call these idiots "fans") The worst appearance of green has been at the end of a couple games where Philly fans congregated in mass behind the visitor's bench
Now in your defense....I think the mod is being a little hard on you. I read nothing in your posts that remotely comes across as trolling. You are entitled to you opinion. It just happens to be very wrong.

QuoteOne thing to keep in mind, you can't judge Colt on the Georgia game, because Hawaii's offensive line was overmatched and barely gave him time to set up in the pocket. Brennan was lucky to get out of that game in one piece. Now, if you truly want to evaluate Brennan, go back to the San Jose State game from last season. Hawaii led that game 14 - 0 in the second quarter, but then allowed San Jose State to score 28 unanswered points. San Jose State had a 35 - 21 lead in the fourth quarter and Brennan ultimately led Hawaii to a 42 - 35 overtime victory in a game that was played in pouring rain. Brennan completed 44-of-75 passes for 545 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions. They may seem like video game numbers, but the way he led that team and kept fighting showed me a lot.

In Coach Zorn's press conference, he talked about how we lost sooooo many "Individual Battles, that resulted in lack of game plan sufficiency", or something along those lines.Now I was reluctant to post something like this, since it's preseason and all. But tonight was supposed to be THE NIGHT where we shined on all aspects of the game, but it didn't happen.
This is what I think we are missing. To me, the kind of desire that Sean Taylor played with was unmatched. I'm not talking about his talent, cause it's obvious he can not be duplicated. I simply mean the way that Sean played the game. That "I swear to God I'm gonna rip your ****ing head off" type of attitude. You know?
I think that can directly relate to those losses of "Individual Battles". I hope no one takes this as another "ST: I still cry thread". Just an observation about our current team.
There are only a couple of players I can think of who still have that type of mindset, and hopefully it will rub off on everyone else come regular season.

But Westy gets yet another time out and we'll just see who else appears to be trolling. And guess who will be the "decider."
For those who feel the thread is being "managed" because it puts the 'skins in a bad (deserved) ligtt, and as for our resident guest whiners ("if it was dallas" balh blah blah ) check the Stadium and participate where 'skins fans are doing their duty and thoroughly dissecting and firing everyone concerned with last night.

I was banned from there with under 5 posts in 2002.
for a while a few years back i had ES and the EMB competing to see which one i could get banned from more times

I watched most of the first half of that game. The Panthers were not that good, the taterskins were just bad. They got gashed in the run game and they looked poor throwing the ball.
It was an enjoyable time.

Gibbs obviously got a free pass with the ES types, but it'll be interesting to see how quickly they turn on the great Zornholio if things are anywhere near as bad as they've looked in the last couple of preseason games.
Well, obviously this is to get them humbled and ready to prove themselves again for the regular season. In fact, he probably called a bad game to make sure they're pissed off for week one!
They look like a heartless team that was designed/put together to play a different style of game. They're going to really suck this year and probably for at least the next several seasons. Gibbs had the offense on the right track. Now they have to start all over again. Campbell was a promising QB but with this offense and him having to learn anew they might as well start Brennan. Couple all this with being without Gibb's leadership and motivation and you're left with a team full of lost players and a 4-12 record.
I blame the owner. Who can be sure that he didn't fire Gibbs the same way he supposedly didn't fire Spurrier? Pathetic.

Roles uncertain for taterskins' WR Kelly, RT Jansen
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - Washington taterskins coach Jim Zorn dropped a couple of surprises Friday, raising the possibility that prized draft pick Malcolm Kelly could be done for the season and longtime right tackle Jon Jansen could lose his starting job.
Zorn and his assistants huddled to assess their personnel following a sour end to the preseason and ahead of Saturday's roster cuts that will establish the 53-man roster. The taterskins were outscored 71-6 in their final two exhibition games - including Thursday night's 24-3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars - and now must regroup before Thursday's regular-season opener against the New York Giants.
"I feel like we're in the beginning stages of being able to be to put our best foot forward," Zorn said, "with our absolute best group that we can put out on the field."
The first problem is Kelly, the former Oklahoma receiver who to date is the most disappointing member of a 2008 draft class that is looking less and less stellar by the week. Kelly dropped to the second round because of questions about his knees and his excuse-making over a poor time in the 40-yard dash during a workout.
When he arrived for training camp, Kelly was one of three players to fail the conditioning test. He hurt his right hamstring during the first week of practice, then complained of soreness in both knees, then had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. He was supposed to make his preseason debut Thursday, but the knee swelled during pregame warmups.
"We have to deal with the reality of his knee not responding well right now," Zorn said.
Zorn said Kelly could be placed on injured reserve, ruling him out for the season. The coach said Kelly also could be placed on the physically unable to perform list - which would prohibit him from playing in the first six games - or could be a hobbling member of the active roster.
"I don't know if we can afford as a team to keep him active unless he can predict that he can come through," Zorn said. "I think he's going to have to play with some soreness."
An even bigger surprise from Zorn was the news about 10-year veteran Jansen, the longest continuous serving player on the team. Jansen has had injury problems in recent years - he missed nearly all of last season with a broken leg and dislocated ankle - and now has a sprained left foot. There have been times during preseason when he hasn't looked like his old self.
Second-year player Stephon Heyer started in Jansen's spot Thursday night and received good reviews from Zorn.
"He shored things up for us over there," Zorn said. "That's going to be a battle. I think that's a very close battle."
Zorn said Jansen will have to prove his health in practice to have a chance to start against the Giants.
"I'm not giving up on Jon Jansen," Zorn said. "He's been a great part of this offense. But we're just evaluating, and I thought Stephon came in and did a pretty job."
Kelly was one of three second-round draft picks this year - the taterskins traded out of the first round - and none of the three will make a near-term impact. Receiver Devin Thomas, who also failed the conditioning test and missed part of training camp with a hamstring injury, doesn't look at all comfortable on the field and "needs to continue to mature mentally in the passing game," according to Zorn.
Tight end Fred Davis has had a quiet preseason. Even if he were a standout, he still would be sitting behind Chris Cooley, who is coming off a Pro Bowl season.
Further down, offensive lineman Chad Rinehart (third round) and safeties Kareem Moore (sixth) and Chris Horton (seventh) comprise the early cream of the draft crop. The jury is still very much out on cornerback Justin Tryon (fourth), quarterback Colt Brennan (sixth) and defensive end Rob Jackson (seventh). Punter Durant Brooks (sixth) will learn Saturday whether he has won the job over incumbent Derrick Frost in a very tight competition.
Zorn conceded to a "low level of frustration" after consecutive poor preseason outings by the first-team offense. Jason Campbell was sacked four times last week against Carolina, and three drives against the Jaguars produced 14 yards and no first downs.
"That's the history of this offense, basically, is the passing game has been behind the run game, the defense, the special teams," Zorn said. "And then as it comes on, then you start hitting on all cylinders."
Notes: Zorn had no update as to whether DE Jason Taylor (sprained knee) will be able to play against the Giants. "If he doesn't progress well and doesn't practice this week, I probably will hold him out," the coach said. ... Zorn sounded a little more optimistic about S LaRon Landry, who missed all of preseason with a hamstring injury. "He's now practicing, and we need him in there," Zorn said.
More problems with the racists.
Yay.

Big time opener for the Skins as they build off the playoff appearance in '07. Jason Campbell was knocking on the door of the elite club of NFL QBs last year, and this year he is poised to kick it down. Portis and Betts are the two-headed monster leading the running attack, and they'll join Santana and Randle-El in the new West Coast passing attack. Too many weapons, and that's not even mentioning Pro Bowler Chris Cooley or emerging big target and current special teams ace Anthony Mix. Cooley? Santana? Portis? Mix? Pick your poison.
The defense? Oh baby. London Fletcher leads a dominant unit, quarterbacking the defense from the middle LB spot. Young bulls Golston and Montgomery anchor the line, and the secondary is in the capable hands of Fred Smoot and young gun Leigh Torrance. Watch this kid, along with classic speed rusher Chris Wilson...potential Pro Bowler down the line. Carlos Rogers will be coming back, along with Rocky McIntosh. Young and lethal defense.
I wish the season started tomorrow.
You just can't gameplan for that!
I'd like to take this moment to point out that special teams ace Anthony Mix has been cut.

QuoteThey're Still Catching Up
Rookie taterskins Wideouts Thomas, Kelly Have Yet to Make Impact
PHOTOS Previous Next
Devin Thomas, the taterskins' top pick in April's draft, has appeared overwhelmed in his new surroundings and also missed time with a hamstring injury.
Veteran wide receiver Santana Moss, left, has become a mentor for Malcolm Kelly. "I tell him stuff before he even asks me," Moss said.
The conversations occur during practice and in the privacy of the locker room. That's where Washington taterskins veteran wide receivers Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle El do their part to educate rookie wideouts Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly.
It has been a team effort, coaches and players said, and the process is going slowly.
"You pull 'em along and get 'em to understand that this is more of your life now. This is your livelihood," Randle El said. "It's not just going to class, waking up and then going to practice. This is all you have, and a lot of people are depending on you."
The only backup wide receivers on the 53-man roster, Thomas and Kelly are off to shaky starts. They incurred the wrath of Coach Jim Zorn for their poor conditioning at the beginning of training camp and fell behind while rehabbing from injuries. Kelly's lingering knee problem is such a concern that the team has considered putting him on injured reserve, which would end his season.
Vinny Cerrato, in his first season as executive vice president of football operations, traded out of the first round and used two of the team's three second-round picks to select Thomas and Kelly, hoping to bolster a receiving corps that lacked depth and versatility last season. Wide receiver, however, again appears to be among the most at-risk units on the roster.
Although the coaching staff has indicated it does not expect contributions from them early in the season, Thomas and Kelly must show improvement because they could be needed in 2008. The taterskins plan to use Pro Bowl tight end Chris Cooley often in four-receiver sets, but if Thomas and Kelly do not make strides soon, Moss, Randle El and No. 3 wideout James Thrash could wear down from their increased workload. (Randle El and Moss also play special teams.) Even if he was physically sound, Kelly would not be active Thursday against the New York Giants because he has not fully grasped the playbook, Zorn said after practice yesterday at taterskins Park.
"When you've been playing in this league for a while, you know all you can do is what you can do," Moss said. "I'm not worried about what we don't have right now. I'm just going to be the best that I can be at my position. I can't worry about the other stuff that comes along with this game. Last year, we had stuff going on, and this year we have stuff going on. But like life, things happen and you just have to be able to roll with it when it comes."
Moss, the taterskins' top wide receiver, was slowed because of groin, heel and hamstring injuries last season. Randle El was hampered by a recurring hamstring injury, and a consistent No. 3 threat never emerged from a unit that was in flux from the start because of injuries.
Free agent bust Brandon Lloyd continued to disappoint before breaking his collarbone in November and was released in February. The taterskins brought in free agents Reche Caldwell and Keenan McCardell -- at 37 the oldest wide receiver in the league last year -- and signed Anthony Mix from the Giants' practice squad during the season.
Cerrato determined the overall talent at the position was not sufficient for Zorn's West Coast scheme that features many three- and four-receiver sets. The taterskins, who did not re-sign Caldwell and McCardell and waived Mix on Saturday, focused exclusively on their receiving corps with their top three picks. Pass-catching tight end Fred Davis was selected after Thomas but before Kelly, and is behind Cooley on the depth chart.
The taterskins in 2007 lacked a big target for quarterback Jason Campbell, and Thomas (6 feet 2, 218 pounds) and Kelly (6-4, 227) are the biggest wideouts on the roster. Kelly's height and leaping ability could create matchup problems in the red zone, but only if he plays.
Drafted from Oklahoma, Kelly slid down several draft boards because of questions about his willingness to play through injuries. He was among the taterskins' most impressive rookies early in camp, coaches and players said, having made a good impression with his receiving and blocking skills while playing the X receiver, or split end position. He appeared to be far ahead of Thomas, the team's top pick, who started out at the Z receiver, or flanker.
Kelly, initially slowed in camp because of a hamstring injury, underwent arthroscopic surgery Aug. 4 on his left knee and missed the preseason. Kelly was supposed to make his pro debut last Thursday in Washington's final preseason game, but his knee became swollen in pregame warmups.
Because of Kelly's situation, the taterskins strongly considered carrying six wide receivers on the roster set Saturday, Zorn said, especially considering the strong performance of Billy McMullen, who led the team in receiving in the preseason and was among the players coaches often praised. "It was a matter of making a very difficult decision," Zorn said. "It wasn't necessarily a numbers game. It was a tough decision of keeping one guy over another."
Said Campbell: "With Malcolm, we're not sure about everything that's going on. With Devin, we're constantly bringing him along."
Bubba Tyer, Washington's director of sports medicine, and the medical staff have continued to work with Kelly, but Zorn acknowledged Kelly probably would have to "play with some pain" this season. For his part, Kelly is confident he can succeed in the NFL "because football is football," he said. "That's one thing a lot of the veteran guys keep telling me. Just because this is the NFL, you can't start putting pressure on yourself. If you can play, you can play. I've just got to get my knee right."
Moss has become a mentor for Kelly. He has initiated conversations about a variety of topics with Kelly -- life off the field included.
"Me and Malcolm talk a lot more than probably me and Devin," Moss said. "I don't even let Malcolm ask me a question. I tell him stuff before he even asks me. I think of something, or see him, or see what's going on with him, and I just go out and say: 'Hey, do this. Or start doing this. Or try to be better at this.' They need that."
Thomas has appeared overwhelmed by his new surroundings. Drafted from Michigan State, Thomas, who also missed time because of a hamstring injury, ran wrong routes, appeared tentative on kickoff returns and often was out of position in three preseason games.
"One guy can't get on the field, and the other guy, he's not ready yet," said offensive coordinator Sherman Smith, alluding to Kelly and Thomas. "We need guys, particularly the backups, to understand that they have to show up to play every week."
Hoping to make up ground quickly, Thomas recently changed his study habits, "doing extra film, taking the DVDs home and watching them," Thomas said. "I'm really looking at my playbook, so I know what I'm doing when it comes to game day so I can run full speed and know what I'm doing."
Despite slow starts to their NFL careers, Thomas and Kelly possess the talent to become productive wide receivers, the taterskins said, but they have no more time to waste.
"This pays the bills. If you don't have that down, you'll be out of here quick," Randle El said. "Those are two things I always tell them will keep them from playing: being out of shape and not knowing that playbook. You can have all the talent in the world, a lot of guys up here had talent, but that's the thing that gets them out."

On the two second-round WRs not making an impact so far: "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed about that," he said about Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly. "We had so much expectation for those guys contributing to our offense. I thought we'd grow together quickly. I went over to their place and visited with them about everything.

QuoteA taterskins poem for YOU
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Twas the night before the opener, when all through the net
Not a fan was relaxed, not even one bit.
The fridges were stacked with beer and with care,
In hopes that 7.00 PM would soon be here;
Us fans were on Extremeskins all day and all night
While visions of touchdowns would bring a great sight;
As the season came to an end last year, we may have shed a tear,
But we knew we had next year, so there was nothing to fear.
When out in Washington arose such a clatter,
We sprang on Extremeskins to see what was the matter.
Away to the computer I flew like a flash
Turned on the power in hopes it would not crash.
Joe Gibbs was leaving right after the season,
Without giving us one really good reason.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
Was a new coach who seemed to show no fear
With a powerful demeanor, so cool and calm,
I knew in a moment, Zorn would have us in his palm.
Then was the draft where new players came,
And Goodell from a podium called them down by name;
"Thomas, Davis, Kelly, Rinehart, and Brennan."
To the podium Zorn went,
Listening to all of the fans vent.
As he walked away, as cool as can be,
He told the fans they would have to wait and see.
Mini-camp came and we still wondered why,
How come we didn't draft someone to play the D-line.
So onto the net, we extremers flew,
With a bunch of threads, we began to vent too.
And then training camp started and it began to click,
This Washington taterskins defense is going to be sick.
It's September 3rd, game day is just a few hours away,
And it's obvious we can't wait to see our taterskins play.
Will this be the year, we all wonder,
Or will Zorn turn out to be a huge blunder?
For the next few months we watch, wait, and see,
What this team will possibly be.
Twas the morning of the season, and I wondered why,
All exrtreme taterskins fans, just don't up and die.
Kill yourselves know, and do us a favor.
Then you'll be with your beloved Sean Taylor.

Ref blaming already
Yeah, right, if not for the bullshtein facemask call at the end of the first half that gave the taterskins 15 yards, they never would have even been on the board at halftime.
QuoteThis team lost as a team. The whole team looked like garbage. BUT, I have stood up for JC for a long time now. It ends today. He is NOT our franchise QB. It was very very obvious. With an O line that isnt getting younger and a QB that cant grasp the speed of the NFL, the taterskins need to rebuild and it starts with Colt Brennen at QB. They need to build Colt up and surround him with the correct players.

Shut the hell up.
Yeah, well he is. And if you're going to mock the taterskins, you should at least be accurate in your mockings.

Soon as I saw this on TV... I knew I would find it here today. :-D
How can the taterskins complain about the refs? Thier only dirve was handed to them on a plate by some questionable penalty calls.
Well, since it was Zorn's first game, the refs should have only allowed the Giants to have 9 defenders on the field at a time.
QuoteThat's why Sean was in a league of his own...Landry will be one of the best safeties, if not the best safety in the league in a year or 2. However, he will never be able to live up to Sean's and his legacy. I will admit, when I watched Landry get trucked by Jacobs, the first thought in my mind was Sean would have made sure Jacobs was the one who would be going backwards. LaRon will be 100% and up to full speed in the next week or 2, and he'll show that he is one of the elite safeties in the NFL. He just needs some time to shake the cobwebs off from preseason and the hit Jacobs put on him tonight.

Believe it or not a lot of Cowboys fans are quite knowledgeable, I have been exposed to them quite a bit over the last 3 years. They are extremely obnoxious, but for the most part they at least have an idea what they are talking about. I guess I should qualify that by saying the Cowboy's fans in TX. There are fans of theirs all over the country that just know they like the Cowboys.
I still have yet to be in a region of the country where fans are as knowledgeable about sports as they are in the Northeast.

QuoteSean Taylor is a role model for any athlete and any person who is in a time of their life where they are becoming a man...
As we all knew Sean had changed, he became that man who could be a role model
And for the crowd who doubts him being the best ever...
Just because he didnt play a 15 yr career does not change how good he was
Game for game i would take ST over anyone to ever play the game.
He is a Legend, a role model, a should have been hall of famer, and for the people who put down others for thinking about Sean...stfu
You people have no right to tell others to get over someones death, he was that perfect football player....the fact that some guys would claim that has to tell you something.

QuoteFor the love of God and everyones sanity would you pathetic people stop this bull****? Over the better part of a year I've seen people here say they still cry when they think of Taylor, that they think of him everyday, that he should have a bronze statue erected in front of the stadium, that his name should be added to the "ring of honor," that his number should be retired, that he should be honored before the opening game, that a patch of his number should be worn on all year on the taterskins uniforms.
There are many more examples that go on ad nauseum. I don't believe that he deserves any of the accolades that many players who were better over a longer period of time haven't received. He was a good young player who died before his time. He wasn't great he was good. He may have been great one day if he'd been given the time. What is this sad facination with a dead football player that no one here knew personally? Sure the defense would be better if he was still here. It would also be better if Champ Bailey and Antonio Pierce were still with the team.
Let's move on and focus on the players that are still here. It's proper and expected for STs' family and personal friends to continue to grieve as any of us would if we'd had a similar loss. However, it is not normal or even healthy the way some of the people on this board cling to the memory of a man you had no personal relationship with.

QuoteWhere some businessmen see service lapses, Dan Snyder sees dollar signs.
Take, for example, the long lines in front of FedExField on game days. Complaints about ridiculous waits and missed kickoffs at the biggest stadium in the NFL have been mounting for years.
Another owner would just add entrances and hire folks to staff them so customers could get in by game time.
Not Snyder.
Over the weekend, he started selling something called "Fast Lanes" at the Official taterskins Store at Tysons Corner.
Those who pay the $100-per-season fee (on top of regular season ticket costs) get a special ID card that allows them to walk past the hoi polloi huddled at the regular turnstiles to be patted down by stadium security. Beginning with the 2008 home opener against New Orleans, Fast Lane cardholders will enter through doors now reserved for premium ticketholders.
"It's a red-carpet service," says Luke Thomas, executive vice president of FLO Corp., a Chantilly, Va.-based security firm that partnered with Snyder on the Fast Lanes venture. "Not a security service."
To this end, FLO's main product has been offering similar no-wait opportunities to air travelers. And, at the Fast Lanes rollout event at Tysons, FLO's sales staff told potential buyers that taterskins card holders will also be able to bypass regular security measures at 14 U.S. airports, including Dulles.

I don't follow other teams, because frankly I couldn't care less about them than to make fun of my friends who cheer for them.
I care about my team. I always will. I don't care if, but certainly pray that we don't, we lose from now until forever. These are MY taterskins, and I won't give them up, ever.

'SKINS THRILLED TO HEAR COLSTON IS OUT
Posted by Mike Florio on September 10, 2008, 2:21 p.m.
As it turns out, that whole injury schadenfreude thing applies not only to NFL fans but also to NFL teams.
Per a league source, the Washington taterskins were "doing handstands and somersaults" in response to the news that Saints receiver Marques Colston will miss Sunday's game between the two teams.
As we hear it, the taterskins think that having Colston out of play will make it much easier to control tight end Jeremy Shockey and running back Reggie Bush.
We're also told that the four-to-six-week estimate on Colston's thumb injury is a bit optimistic, and that he'll be out closer to six weeks. He suffered the injury during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Bucs, but continued to play.
Like it'll matter since their offense is so putrid. Do some hand stands and somersaults when Campbell and Zorn know how to run an offense.
do you really believe what PFT says?
I had to revisit this gem by Art. Thought Id share:

ExtremeSkins Fan View: Let's Make a Deal?
By Arthur Mills
ExtremeSkins.com
April 26, 2006
Now is not the time for the timid. It's certainly not time for the early morning trip to the Late Night Pickup window at Wendy's.
The Washington taterskins enter the NFL draft with seven picks. Typically one might consider a seven-round draft with seven picks as pretty ok until we check the picks and find out one is in the second round, one is in the fifth, and the next five are in rounds six (3 picks here) and seven.
So, imagine my surprise to learn the concept of trading up in this draft was likened to a nutritionally empty fast food excursion such that it felt good, but lacked sound decision making. I look at where the taterskins pick and I have to ask, "Where's the beef?"
In presenting the idea of standing pat in the draft (or, heck, moving DOWN to accumulate more picks) Mark Steven nailed his roster evaluation. We're plum full up folks. There aren't a ton of obvious needs.
Weak-side linebacker is a position the taterskins could look at for an impact starter in this draft, if one is available. There is probably room in the secondary for a good, young prospect. There might be a spot for depth on the offensive line if the right prospect is there.
At the end of August when the taterskins make their final cuts, the roster will be comprised almost entirely by names already on it. It's not very likely seven players will be drafted and kept by this team, especially where the selections are being made. Realistically, only the second-round pick could wind up making the roster to start the season.
What's the point of accumulating seven bodies when you likely won't be able to keep six of them around?
Standing pat is a five-card stud move in a hold'em world. It's time to go all in.
The taterskins need to minimize bodies and maximize quality in this draft. There's a reason the taterskins have been inviting a number of high quality prospects in for visits. You may believe it's because the team thinks one of these guys could fall to them with the 53rd pick in the draft.
It's actually because the team intends to get a couple of them using four second-day picks (the last-pick in the seventh round is a compensatory pick, which can not be traded) and dipping in to picks next year as needed to pull it off. It's the only move we can make and it's far less wasteful than accumulating or using picks we can't possibly accommodate on the roster.
Right now there are scores of you reading this stunned as you hold up traffic in the left lane, fretting over "the future," "we need to develop our own picks," and other such nonsense. Come up to speed boys.
The taterskins use draft picks to acquire young players (most of the former draft picks even) who have already proven they can play in the NFL. The team's removed the guess work of the NFL draft and development time with drafted players in acquiring guys like Brandon Lloyd for a couple of picks.
The draft is for teams like San Francisco who need scores of bodies to fill roster spots while lacking ownership willing to spend money on proven players, not teams largely ready to go, able to compete who need just a few finishing touches with ownership willing to fill them with cash if he has to.
We have the immense luxury of maximizing the quality we get out of a draft because we own the NFL free agency period. Don't be afraid of it. Don't fear that we do it differently, therefore incorrectly.
I'm not proposing an empty move up to appeal to our base fan instincts.
We're built with young players who will largely be in their prime of their careers when he hands the reigns over to the next coach. We need to get as many "keepers" as possible now. To do that we need to maximize the quality of the prospects we draft. Moving up is the only legitimate option, even at the cost of picks in coming drafts.
While some of you simply can't read this and avoid the dull, "we can't keep trading away our future," retort, I have to tell you what you're missing in all this.
The team traded a few picks last year to acquire a second first-round pick in Jason Campbell. Though the value of that trade wound up favoring us, given where our pick would have been, the value of that trade goes beyond draft value charts.
Jason Campbell is the future. He had a pressure-free year to develop in the NFL under one of the most capable coaching staffs in league history. He got to learn from a smart veteran QB like Mark Brunell. He saw the professionalism and team-first attitude of a capable backup like Patrick Ramsey.
But, more, he got a year to develop in the family Joe Gibbs turns his football teams into. He got touched by a coaching angel.
Where the team was aging and overpaid in a new cap era the last time Gibbs left, limiting the lasting impact of his time here, this time around Gibbs will leave a roster that will have core guys together for years beyond his final departure as our coach.
We need as many quality players as we can get in here to understand what this type of team is about. The more time people spend with Joe Gibbs and the men he's surrounded himself with on his staff, the better off this team will be when he next has to go.
The players we get today will have time to understand the type of excellence and dedication necessary to win and keep winning in the league. It is right to say we're a team ready to compete now. That's exactly why you get the highest quality players possible now. You get them to experience winning and understand what it takes to win, so next time Gibbs leaves, winning won't leave with him.
he said if the taterskins drafted seven players six wouldnt even make the team thats how good they were
Still my favorite:

ExtremeSkins Fan View: Cap Hell Rocks!
By Arthur Mills
ExtremeSkins.com
March 16, 2006
Don't hate us because we're beautiful.
No more blank, wondering stares, confused head scratching, frothing emotional outbursts, conspiracy theories or embarrassing, dismissive references to 2000. The Washington taterskins are the central theme of every NFL team message board out there. Here's a message to you all from all ExtremeSkins fans everywhere.
It's time to embrace the reality of it all. Simply, we're better than you.
That's it. Look no further. We are better than you. We're more fun. It feels better to be us. We've got flair. We're audacious, capricious, bodacious, supercalifragilisticxpalidocious.
Are you finally getting it?
Yes, yes, I know cap hell was supposed to be upon us. I know that's what you've been told. I feel for you, I really do. As you come to realize we're better than you, a second bit of stark reality must also penetrate. We're smarter than them.
Repeat after me.
The Washington taterskins are managed, coached and owned by highly professional people who know more about running a football franchise than ALL the unnamed, anonymous sources any reporter has yanked from the broom closet and quoted.
Don't take my word for it. Take the following words for it.
Brandon Lloyd, Antwaan Randle El, Adam Archuleta, Andre Carter, Todd Collins, Christian Fauria.
The question you all should be asking isn't, "How is all this possible?" No. The question should be, "How didn't we know this was all possible?"
Six years of assurances cap hell was on the way and you still allowed yourself to believe the tripe. Perhaps busting the cap hell myth as it relates to the Washington taterskins is just too painful a thing for media and fans of other teams to do.
Like a child coming to the harsh knowledge Santa doesn't exist, the media and opposing teams' fans are struggling desperately to hang on to the fiction that cap hell is on the way for the taterskins despite--literally--YEARS of demonstrated contrary evidence.
Here's the best part.
You don't have to hate us for what we're doing. You can do it, too.
"The thing I want to emphasize is this: We haven't done one thing that anybody else can't do," Joe Gibbs said after the introductory press conference for Andre Carter. "We have certain rules in the league. Here's the cap, here's the numbers, here's what you can spend, so everybody in the league can do what we're doing, it's just that they choose not to, many of them."
Deep down, this is really the issue, isn't it? You can do it too and you know it, but, your team doesn't do it, so, you have a hard choice. Hate your team, or hate us.
Say you're a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. You always have all those many millions available, which somehow never seem to get spent. All week you're hearing how you have LeCharles Bentley locked up as your free agent masterstroke to solidify your offensive line.
You are giddy. You're thrilled. You know this is the guy you need. He fills a need and makes it a strength. You're excited about the prospects of adding such a substantial piece. Then, the Cleveland Browns call, offer a few more bucks to Bentley and Bentley winds up in Cleveland leaving you with nothing more than whimpering excuses that Bentley is from Cleveland and always wanted to play there.
Oh, hush.
Antwaan Randle El is from Chicago. He's always wanted to play there. Yet he's playing in D.C. Adam Archuleta admits he adores Lovie Smith after years playing for him with St. Louis and wanted to play with him in Chicago. Yet he's playing in D.C. Andre Carter just had to meet the Broncos because his father played there 12 years and he envisioned being the second generation of his family with the team. Yet he's playing in D.C.
And it's driving you crazy because you were so excited and thrilled about the prospects of adding a good player your management and owner can't figure out how to land while we get EVERY single player we shoot at.
We get to actually live the thrill and giddiness you only get to brush up against. And it's killing you.
Did we pay a premium for generally young players entering their prime with years left to play in the NFL? You bet we did. Kind of like when the Eagles lock up their own young players for a premium before they really emerge on the scene and everyone calls that genius. Think of it like that, only, with the component of actually being smart because an expensive 24-year-old promising receiver suddenly becomes a very cheap 26-year-old receiver when he grabs 80 balls.
See, we already had good players under contract. Now we have more.
As you struggle to find words to describe the coming cap doom heading our way, try to process one final thought. When you have that free agent you need all lined up and you don't get him, well, isn't that really what cap hell feels like?
I wouldn't know, because I don't ever have to feel that way.
are those readily available on the site...like they have all his articles going back that far or do yous save them
My favorite part of that offseason was all the bets I got from taterskins fans and cashed in. My one buddy made a decent bet with me. When hanging out with his buddies they told me what a sucker bet it was. He started to make requirements so that I had to have a check in the mail within 7days of him winning. "Watch and learn" I was told.
Pointing. Laughing. Cashing in.

"You know, I'm dodging all the people in the backfield, fighting just to get back to the line of scrimmage, and people [are] looking around like, 'Oh, he just missed it.' I'm dodging people getting the handoff, because nobody's really respecting us as a passing team."
He's right, and it was only a matter of time before he started complaining. But hey, he's making a lot of money to run the ball for the Skins, if he wanted stats instead of cash, he should have stayed in Denver.
I'll bet his offensive line will work doubly hard for him after hearing those comments. Doubly!

he got traded
I know that, but didn't he have a no trade clause? I thought the deal didn't get done 'til the Skins got the money right.

QuoteCOOLEY SHOWS HIMSELF
Posted by Mike Florio on September 14, 2008, 10:31 p.m.
taterskins tight end Chris Cooley has endeared himself to the blogosphere by operating his own blog. Unlike many athletes who have their own web sites and aspire to fill them up with informative content on a regular basis only to do neither, Cooley has generally delivered.
Most recently, he delivered a little too much.
Though the post has been deleted from Cooley's blog, the fine folks at Deadspin were able to capture the video evidence.
Cooley intended to take a photo of a page from his playbook revealing the "Tight End Test" for Sunday's game against the Saints. The only problem? He was naked at the time, the playbook was in his lap, and so the picture included an image of Cooley's penis.
Earlier in the evening, Deadspin's post included the, um, full Cooley. The appendage was covered by a taterskins helmet (mini-size, apparently), after Cooley's brother contacted Deadspin and objected to the presence of his brother's junk on the Internet.
The bigger question, as we see it, is what in the hell was Cooley doing taking a picture of his playbook and putting it on the Internet? Though not as obviously wrong as, say, having sex with the maid on your desk, we can't imagine how or why Cooley believed it would be appropriate, in light of the ultra-secretive world of the NFL, to put anything on the Internet regarding team strategy and preparation.
But, then again, a guy who didn't realize he posted a picture of his d–k on his blog likely doesn't have the best judgment.

QuoteI'm glad the NFC East is back to it's old roots and all the teams are good. This will FORCE the taterskins to become as good as everybody else and (hopefully) it's just a matter of time, injuries, and circumstances before it's our turn. I'm sure we'd have a near consensus poll amongst fans that we are better off in a shootout division with other great teams than being the biggest fish in a little pond like Seattle.
I think that in order for the taterskins (Or Cowboys, or Eagles, or Giants) to return to glory, the NFC East has to get there too. This clearly is happening and it's going to be a huge benefit for the taterskins. We are darn fortunate because it will be so much sweeter when we beat out all the other NFC East teams one year after another in the NFC Championship game. The dream ending would be for each NFC East team to humiliate an undefeated and arrogant New England Patriots team in the Superbowl turning them into the Buffalo Bills.
The AFC has ruled for way too long. It's time for the NFC to resurge and the proper order restored to the NFL Universe. Our division was always the best in the past and it looks like we will be at the top for a while now. The NFL needs this. We need this. Cheers to the NFC Eas
the farg?
I like the fact that nobody in the world can really grasp the idea that the Giants won the SB last year. That means it didn't really happen.

QuoteKen Harvey Joins The Washington taterskins as Director of Responsibility
ASHBURN, Va., Sept. 18
Newly-created position to manage resources aimed at promoting responsible conduct across the organization and the community
ASHBURN, Va., Sept. 18 -The Washington taterskins today announced that Ken Harvey has been appointed Director of Responsibility, and will serve as a resource and advisor in the development of responsibility initiatives focused on education and advocacy. The former linebacker will also work with the Washington taterskins Charitable Foundation in bringing responsibility programs directly to the fans and the community at large.
"After playing in the league for many years, I believe I have an excellent read on the demands players face on a daily basis from teammates, management, friends, family and business associates," said Harvey. "I think the team can benefit from that experience, especially the young athletes."
More proof Snyder and the skins are greedy scumbags:
Quotehttp://Painting of Sean Taylor Sparks Controversy
posted 3:58 pm Thu September 18, 2008 - LANDOVER, Md.
A painting honoring murdered Washington taterskins (web|news) safety Sean Taylor is causing a lot of controversy.
The artist planned to sell his artwork showing Taylor and donate some of the money to charity. But the team has other ideas.
It hangs in Champs Restaurant in Pentagon Row, a 5x6 foot oil painting of Taylor, the taterskins safety killed last November.
"I think it's a great tribute to him," said one customer. "I think the painting itself is beautiful," said another.
But Jason Swain, who painted it as a tribute, can't sell it. The Kensington artist, who specializes in portraits, planned to sell the painting for $20,000 and donate $5,000 to Children's Hospital. He said the taterskins' management saw it on exhibit and liked it.
"But they wanted me to donate it to them," said Swain. "You know, 200 hours work, I really can't afford to give away a piece like this, and also the hospital wouldn't have made anything out of it," he said.
So he told the taterskins, no freebie.
"That's when I got the email saying the logos were a problem," said Swain.
The taterskins told Swain he would have to remove all team and NFL logos because of corporate branding and legal issues. So now Swain can't sell his painstaking tribute to Sean Taylor - unless he gets his paint brush back out.
"I just hate to change something like that - he's a taterskin, it's like he'd be wearing a blank uniform," said Swain. "It just wouldn't be the same."
Link (http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/0908/554549.html)
I'd pay the guy 20 grand if he defecated all over it in front of the dead tree queers.
Donate it.
Take the tax deduction of $5K (estimate)
Donate $5K to the hospital.
Take the $1500 tax deduction.
Be a hero.
Or the skins could just fork over the 20g and get some positive PR for it. 20g is like a fart to dannyboy
Positive PR isn't in their mission statement, I think.

Jason Taylor out vs Dallas; consecutive game streak (since 1999) will end (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3602515)
I saw this headline:
Quotetaterskins' Taylor won't play Sunday vs. Cowboys
The first thought into my head?
"Well, no shtein. He's dead!"
In a thread crying because no Skins highlights were shown by Berman on the fastest three minutes clip;
Quotei saw that too, i thought i missed the highlight....i think the nfl is blackballing the taterskins b/c of the "offensive" name
they sure as hell should be
QuoteI will begin this thread by first stating that Jason Taylor is a Hall Famer, and the taterskins chances of getting to the playoffs are exponentially increased with him in the lineup.
That being said, I feel like a Jason Taylor at 80% or lower would be a liability and I almost feel like a 100% JT would have been susceptible to some of the things that I see from the Cowboys. Meaning they would take advantage of his pass rush and aggressiveness.
The Cowboys are balanced, and have a big offensive line as everyone knows. I do not believe you can blitz them like Philadelphia did and win. At the same time, you can not sit back in a zone and allow Romo time to throw. Jason Taylor against those big tackles would have been tough. I am sure he would have won some of the battles, but he would have given up some big plays as well that have negated any positives that he might have provided.
The Giants stuffed the Cowboys with a great game from their front four. Sure we don't have the talent the Giants have on the line, but we do have the toughness. The best defense for the Cowboys is a flexible defense. I hope that the Cowboys relax and underestimate Chris Wilson, D. Evans, and E. James come Sunday. I think if we stay close our D line will dominate the fourth quarter (those 2 days have got to pay off). Now the Cowboys should have a tougher time game planning for who to double team on D. I am hoping that the other guys step up. We should be stouter against the run with Evans and I believe Chris Wilson is an X factor. And if they don't...we lost without one our best D-linemen no shame in that.
The timing for J. Taylor injury is good too, a win in Dallas would be tough with everyone healthy. So, why risk J. Taylor now? We will get them in a rematch.
We will see what happens, and maybe we get blown out...but I have a feeling this game will be closer than expected. I know this is overly optimistic, but I bleed burgundy and gold.

QuoteWASHINGTON (AP) Sept. 18-- Ken Harvey was appointed by the Washington taterskins as their Director of Responsibility, narrowly edging out former taterskin player Dexter Manley for the position. The scales were tipped in Harvey's favor owing to Manley's illiteracy. And his lifetime ban from the NFL. And memory loss after brain surgery. Other than that it was basically a coin toss.
There is no way that thing about Dexter Manley is serious. Is there?
Nah, he learned to read last year.

Browsing ES today and its funny how they all want to get in on the "NFC East is a beast" equation. Its like the fat kid in dodge ball screaming "oooh pick me".
They were left out of the talk on Sports Reporters and that caused many to say how the best 4 teams in the NFL are the NFC East teams and how no one knows nothing. One guy even said that that the Skins have beaten better teams than Dallas.
God, I can't root for Dallas. But I want to see a sloppy game with many penalties, dumb plays and turnovers.

Rooting for the taterskins to beat the Cowboys is like rooting for Obama to beat McCain. It will bring some piece of mind, but you can't really jump up and down and get excited about it.
Art's back...
QuoteSettling back in, slowly, to good, wholesome taterskins living. Title of this week's blog should take you to Something About Mary. That's all for now.
Murf and I getting setup.
11 a.m. Saturday - Packing up. Mom is taking a quick nap. Little girl is screaming bloody murder that mom is taking a quick nap. Dad puts little girl in bed. Big girl is very interested in this whole concept of me going somewhere to watch football, but doubly interested in the El Coque Dora we have on.
2:40 p.m. Saturday - Packed in to a small shuttle plane, this tiny little guy next to me starts crowding me. I wake him and tell him to learn how to get small. We have tension the rest of the trip. Don't screw with the Art's personal space. Homie don't play that.
4:20 p.m. Saturday - Pulling down into Dallas and I realize something I'd previously missed. The first visible sign from the air as you cruise in is a Hooter's sign. Something about this just seems right.
5 p.m. Saturday -- At baggage claim with bag. Call the Murf to tell him to buzz me when he lands so we can do the rental car thing. Read the ridiculous Footprints of God book, which is so outrageously ludicrous it's splendid time burning.
5:30 p.m. Saturday -- Murf is in the hizzy. Notice I can still pull off the use of hizzy as if hip. Meeting at Hertz where we discover the kind taterskins travel people have booked AND paid for a compact car. Apparently they forgot the memo that not only does Art not do compact but Art has cars with a dozen people in them hours later. We upgrade to the SUV and I make Murf put it on his card and swear to pay him back. Sucker. I offered to put it on my card if Murf would spoon me, which he too readily agreed to, but it was in his name.
5:55 p.m. Saturday -- Call from the taterskins.com TV boys wondering where we are. Last year's 90 year old gate guard is gone, replaced by a cabana boy who waves us in as we tell the boys we're getting close. Told I have to remember that we need to make a stop at the liquor store for a liter of vodka for post-game flights home. Sound plan.
6:05 p.m. Saturday -- Murf discovers how cool it is to come to games with me. When I'm here we get upgraded rooms. We don't actually have a room. We have a "villa" and we're offered a ride to it as it is a full minute away from the main complex. We are very important people. Team only has us down for one night so we extend for two and hugs abound as the crew catches us at check in. I am not sure how much longer I will do these trips, but, it is always a lot of fun. Room is quite nice. We even have a little veranda which would be put to use later.
7 p.m. Saturday -- Fresh dressed like a million bucks, Murf and I walk up from the villa to the main building. Low key at this point. Golston is sitting on a bench with some friends. Fred Smoot is rolling with about 20 family members near the main entrance. We hit the bar off the lobby. Hailtaterskins ***** is there with Mr. Clean, Gary, Larry and, of course, our new friend, the blogger. I quickly inform the blogger not to be intimidated by being in the room with two people (Murf and I) who both turned his job down. But, naturally, he was. We are pretty cool you know.
7:30 p.m. Saturday -- Find out from the blogger that someone is crushing him on the internet using my e-mail address. Says he had to ask around to make sure it wasn't actually me. Wasn't. I do the direct confrontation when I don't like someone. Like at my new favorite site about firing some lousy local beat reporter who after years on the job still doesn't know NFL rules without hand holding.
8:00 p.m. Saturday -- Acquainting with the crew. Talking quite a bit with the blogger, giving him my point of view. Most important thing to know about any of the stuff we've ever done was conveyed now to the blogger who was talking about how he's still learning what he can and can't write and I asked who's told him he can't write something. He said no one. And I said that's the secret. Write whatever you want.
8:15 p.m. Saturday -- Horrified to discover Irving is a "dry" county with no where to buy booze. We are somewhat concerned the Goose and Tonic, tonics, we'd had all night were somehow criminal acts, but decided against understanding Texas county laws due to that whole shoot first and ask questions later thing they have going on. Directed to a place just outside the county line to buy booze. Three 12s of Fat Tire beer, one liter of air plane vodka and one liter of booze for the veranda purchased, then we stack back in the car with the standard crew and the grumpy Mr. Broyhill, who is mentioned solely due to his hair and how close it is to Jim Zorn's and ties to the title of this blog.
8:30 p.m. Saturday -- Driving continually by the place we want to eat now with Murf navigating with the Garmin. We are unable to understand how the hell we can't get there when we discover Murf is not taking us there. He's taking us back because he thinks the airplane vodka needs to be delivered now. Notice I'm not telling you WHO gets this airplane vodka . Secrets of the road. Murf has navigating rights removed. We finally make it to the Keg. We have a choice of following a perfectly lovely brunette to the bar area or going to the main dining room and playing waitress roulette. We pick the dining room and get stoner boy and feel quite crushed. Talk of game leads to many different viewpoints. I think we'll get hammered. We've not held up well in loud stadiums where our line is getting jumped and we can't get a rhythm on offense. Blogger is decided in the Zorn camp and has a huge man crush on Zorn. And thus Mr. Broyhill due to the hair. I'm skipping much of the nightly commentary as it will forever be remembered and never repeated.
10 p.m. Saturday -- Back at the team hotel. We walk in to the nicest hotel in the state carrying a case and a half of fat tire beer and two brown paper sacks. Straight bamas we. Danny Smith is outside talking to people and seems amused by our caravan of booze. Rock is in the lobby and notices the Fat Tire...beer. Hailtaterskins *****, Gary, Murf and I work our way to the villa to drink. There's a very large wedding going on across from our villa in a large out building from the hotel. We are trying to encourage hailtaterskins ***** to offer the new bride her first legitimate pleasure as a married woman. Monetary enticements don't quite do the trick sadly. Mr. Clean calls from the bar to tell me I'm wanted. Duty calls.
10:45 p.m. Saturday -- At the hotel bar again. Kelly Johnson, who I've commented previously is stunning in person, is stunning in person. Several of the taterskins big wigs are at a table outside. I join, seating myself next to the blogger. Lots of good football talk. For those of you reading down to here, my earlier comments about getting crushed may no longer apply. Watch for us to change the pace offensively and, more importantly, Coach Zorn (who wasn't there of course) has been very excited about something this week. He sees something this week. Someone, he thinks, could have a VERY, VERY big game. I am talking around this on the remote chance anyone from Dallas sees this and believes it and it in any way alters anything. I'll talk more about this later, but, hearing what I heard will give me a real view of just how successful Zorn may become or not become as a coach. The talk was like the OLD Gibbs players talk of KNOWING they would win on Wednesday when the gameplan was going in because they could tell the staff had the other team figured out. This is not to say Zorn has the Cowboys figured out, but, he thinks something is. If he's right and it executes as planned, it'll be a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE positive for our future. If he's wrong, well, we'll see .
1:30 a.m. -- Coaxed into rousing rendition of Hail to the taterskins for table of execs, table of banking exec types and the Comcast table. Murf is with us now. Song sung with great passion, impressing the banking guys. One taterskins marketing/sales lady coaxed into coming down stares right at Murf and me and asks, "Who are you?" Drinks are purchased by many for many. This gets Kelly Johnson even to TRY the song. She does not do it well, and will need fans to provide her coaching on the words, but, she gave it a shot. Hyena guy at her table was enjoying himself greatly with laughs that were blood curdling. Sometime later, the bank sales lady visits our table and begins pitching something but I was unable to listen due to her incredibly strappy nice shoes, which, we determined, even with a collapse of the bank in this environment would allow her never to be poor in life .
9:45 a.m. -- Wake up call from the family. Big girl wants to know if I'm at Dallas and if I'm watching the game. Then if I could make momma turn on a Dora. Dora is evil I've decided.
10:30 a.m. -- Murf and I move into the lobby just people watching. Again, not much going on. Karl Swanson is doing his check out. Randy Thomas is well dressed and sitting with a young boy, likely his son. No other players milling about.
11 a.m. -- We get our stuff and meet some of the guys out front as we are their ride to the stadium. Lady at the limo entrance takes our parking pass so we have to circle around. No trust in Dallas. After dropping the guys off we have to make four circles of the stadium before we can get the right way into our lot.

LOL....I didn't say a thing.
You don't have to say anything, just have to be a taterskins fan, even if they did beat Dallas.
QuoteWe just beat up, beat on and easily moved the ball against the best team in the NFL, and a top 10 defense. Dallas could not stop Zorns offense and check this out people, this offense is only 4 games old!
How good can this offense be when we really master this new system, which is proving its almost unstoppable even at an early stage. We are looking like the best team in the NFL as of now, and the best part is we still havent even totaly learned the new offense and system.
Therefore your thoughts, could we be the best offense in the NFL by the end of this year?

it'll basically be double or nothing on the Jackson bet since he only needs 3 more catches

http://www.tailgatingideas.com/interview-mayor-of-fedex-field/
QuoteMayor of FedEx Field: I don't think tailgating is defined by what you have to do. I don't have a rule book on tailgating and I don't ever expect to see it. As for our theory on not letting any opposing fans in, we protect FedEx Field. We want taterskins fans to come. We don't want Philly fans, Raven fans, Cowboys fans pushing their way into our stadium and taking it over, singing their songs and chanting their teams. This is FedEx Field. That is not going to happen. Not on the DTC's watch.
Tailgating Ideas: Do you guys venture away from FedEx Field for taterskins road games? If you do, what has been your reception when you do travel? Do you get a harsh reaction from other teams' fans much like you give Philadelphia or Dallas fans?
Mayor of FedEx Field: We've been to Tampa for the playoff game a few years back. We were well received. It was pretty much all taterskins fans that were tailgating up there. We are in Canton, Ohio today. We see a lot of opposing fans whether it be Bears fans, Rams fans and of course Cowboys fans. I'll be honest with you. Over here in Ohio, there are a lot of Steelers fans. But we haven't seen an Eagle fan yet.
Tailgating Ideas: Speaking of Eagles fans, we all know that anyone in the NFC East is considered a major rival just by virtue that the taterskins play those teams twice a year. It seems as though the DTC has singled out Eagles fans as the ones you dislike the most. You guys even made a YouTube video about punching Eagles fans. What makes the Eagle fans the most annoying to the DTC above and beyond all the other fans of rival teams?
idiot Cowboys fanMayor of FedEx Field: Cowboys fans are idiots. They don't know anything about their team and they are no challenge. Giants fans... I suppose we'll see a lot more of those now after the Super Bowl win. Eagle fans I will give them a little bit of respect. They come to the games, they come to the away games, they don't back down. They are really the only challenge we have. Ravens fans also deserve some respect. We are going to invade M&T Bank Stadium this year. I think Ravens fans are the only ones that really give us any trouble. When we play the Falcons or the Cardinals, we don't see any of those guys. Detroit Lions? I haven't seen any. Eagles fans are all over the place and they run their mouths. They have no Super Bowls but they decide they want to talk like they do so the DTC has to remind them.

QuoteEagles fans = dirt
I just wanted to show everyone some of the filth that comes from eagles fans. I cannot quote the thread for whatever reason, but it's on www.igglephans.com and the thread is titled One question. It's at the top of their message board currently.
If you have a moment I suggest reading it.
It's constant **** talking towards Sean Taylors name like "I'd rather have Donovan "Oh I'm Hurt" McNabb, than Sean "Oh I'm Dead" Taylor." I cannot believe these people exist. It sickens me to even think they live. I'm ok with trash talking between fans of teams but this is way overboard and portrays philly fans in the worst way possible. They are flat out sick.
I found this hilarious from an Eagle fan, "First of all, you don't look nearly as good as the Eagles this year. Check out the power rankings, you're way below us on everyone's list.
Second, you can't use the Super Bowl argument. You weren't even born last time the skins won a lombardi. Your current team hasn't come close to a super bowl. Our current team has been to 4 NFC championship games, and a Super Bowl.
Third, Sean Taylor was obviously talented, but nowhere near Brian Dawkins. We're talking about a man who many people consider to be the greatest Free Safety in history. He had 2 sacks in his 4 year career, which as you may have guessed, is less than what Dawkins had. They had the same number of INT's over their first 4 years in the league as well. As of now, Dawkins has 19 career sacks, 33 career INT's, and a spot reserved for him in the HOF."
In every power ranking, I've seen eagles are below us. And, they're talking about Lombardis as if they won one. I promise if you read this thread you'll realize once again how much you hate Philly. I've never wanted to beat the Eagles ever more than now. These fans are scum.
Oh no he didn't...power ranking smack! :-D
Ha, Sean Taylor is dead because he got shot in dick

How does a team led by a first-year head coach that has implemented a new west coast offense defeat a home team led by a veteran coach with a veteran quarterback who has run the west coast offense for many seasons?
This is not a rhetorical question (I didn't watch the game).
Because the veteran coach, much like Joe Gibbs, has been proven to be mildly retarded over the last few years.
can the both of you get aids by any chance?
Only if you're offering oral sex.

YOU WERE WRONG you dumb farg. The best thing that happened to them is they got rid of
your most favorite coach ever, Joe Gibbs. Go down south and become a NASCAR fan so you can still root for that christian icehole.
I wasn't wrong. My objective was to plant a seed of doubt in as many Eagles fans (and hopefully Eagle's players) as possible. It was a special authorization direct from Dan Snyder.
As expected, your jump off the bandwagon was just a sad ruse to try to make internet friends.
ATV, what the farg are you going to do when the election is over? Who are you going to be talking to to? Your best bet was to be an Obama lover b'cause majority on here are...and you nailed it..congrats

Youre pathetic man.

QuoteSHAUN TO GET A NEW GIG, FINALLY?
Posted by Mike Florio on October 13, 2008, 7:35 p.m.
Months after being unceremoniously cut by the Seahawks, former league MVP Shaun Alexander might soon be reuinted with a guy who knows a thing or two about him.
Per Adam Schefter of NFL Network, Alexander will visit the taterskins on Tuesday. If he passes a physical, he could be under contract by the end of the day.
The 'Skins are concerned about a knee injury to backup running back Ladell Betts.
Alexander previoulsy drew interest from the Bengals, Lions, and Saints. He expressed optimism that he'd have a new team after the first week of the season, but remains unattached.
In Washington, Alexander would play for former Seahawks quarterbacks coach Jim Zorn, who returned to Seattle in 2001, a year after Alexander was drafted.

derek anderson is the biggest piece of shtein in the nfl
he just had braylon edwards wide open at the 20 and missed him by three yards to force a 54 yard fg which they missed
game over kill me now
Not only that, but they went for it earlier when it was 14-3 rather than kick a FG making it 14-6.
Of course they get the ball back and score a TD+2...it should have been 14-14.
Washington got lucky as farg, and Anderson is garbage.
Edwards sucks ass, dude has horrible hands. He's open almost every play, yet cant catch shtein
He had 80 catches for close to 1300 yards and 16 td's last year.
Stop posting drunk, dude.
Overrated. Hank Baskett is better.
not saying he's horrible, but as i said, all the talent to get open, then he makes key drops especially on 3rd down. He's leading the league in drops Rome.

Like a bulls eye for a hurricane...
QuoteJason Taylor's leg "oozing blood" is gross. Todd Yoder's thigh-length rhubarb bruise is really gross. Really really really gross.
But lots of football players have "gross" stories, it turns out.
"I broke my ankle in ninth grade," Devin Thomas told me. "It was crazy, man. I'm running the ball, I hear something snap, and my foot's down here like this," he said, holding a sandal at a 90-degree angle out from his leg, "and my leg's straight....I just heard crrrrreck. I just fell, I look down, my leg is straight my foot's like this," and again with the perpendicular sandle. "I'm like 'HOLY [COW]! AHHHHH!' Scared as [anything]."
That sounds gross, too. But for all-purpose every-day grossness, I still say it's hard to beat football field vomit.
"Oh yeah, I've thrown up on the field," Casey Rabach told me the other day. "That happens a lot, yeah. Guys puke all the time. It's funny when the guy across from you starts puking, that's the best part. Oh my God, so funny. You've never seen a player who puked on the field? It's pretty funny. The guy's sitting there puking in front of you, and you KNOW you're just gonna kill him the next play. It's awesome. Jansen, you ever puked on the field," he called out to Jon Jansen, one locker over.
"Yeah," said Jansen, who was in the middle of interviews at the time.
"I'll bet you everybody's puked on the field at least once in this locker room, definitely," Rabach concluded.
But it turned out he was wrong. Alex Buzbee said he'd never puked on the field. So did H.B. Blades. So did Anthony Montgomery. So did Kedric Golston. "No chance, nope, never," said Ryan Plackemeier, the punter. Fred Smoot also said no.
Says everyone pukes. (By John McDonnell - TWP)
"Cornerbacks, wideouts, we feel like we're too, not pretty to do it, but I don't think we ever get that nauseous that we actually throw up," Smoot said.
But you know who DOES throw up? And gladly admit to it? Offensive linemen.
"Oh yeah, I threw up plenty of times on the field, in college and pros," Chris Samuels said. "I'm used to it, it's no big deal."
"Thrown up? Yeah," said Randy Thomas. "Especially the ones over 300 pounds....You do it in the trash can. That's what guys do when they've got a little money, they do it in the trash can. You've got millionaires running around on the field, you don't want to throw up on their feet."
"Fabini, if he starts, he usually pukes at some point in the game," Rabach said of Jason Fabini. "He's puked on the sidelines a couple times."
"Of course," Fabini acknowledged. "I think I vomited on Casey's foot maybe once last year. Or my own."
"He's got a gag reflex or something, more comical than anything," Rabach said of Fabini.
"Yeah, I do, but so does he," Fabini said of Rabach. "His is worse, I think. He doesn't throw up; it's like, 'Aggggh,' " he said, making gagging sounds.
And is it an advantage if your adversary starts to vomit?
"You hope so," Rabach said. "And that you don't get any on you, yeah."
But, I was told, that the locker room's ultimate vomit guy was the heart, soul and guts of the defense, London Fletcher.
"I'm a vomit guy," Fletcher admitted. "I'm SUCH a vomit guy."
This is probably common knowledge, and it's definitely been written about before, but Fletcher vomits on the sidelines just before games start. Like, every week. Like, more than once.
"Two, three [times], if I'm lucky," he told me. "Four, five if I'm not."
He never did it in college, but has been doing it for 11 years in the NFL. He's not sure why he didn't do it in college, or why he started doing it in the pros. Mostly, he attributes it to anxiety and nerves.
"By the time it's game day," he said, "my stomach's just so queasy, so to speak, that I have to get out some things before the start of the game."
He's also done it on the field. And even during huddles.
"That's probably why when he's in the huddle and he's calling plays he's always got spit hanging from his facemask," Montgomery said. "You want to be serious, you're in the middle of the game, but I be looking like, 'Man, get that spit off your face.' "
"I've seen London Fletcher throw up a couple times," Smoot said. "He'll probably play with a piece of corn right there on his mouth. That's just London."
Rabach happened to walk past while I was talking to Fletcher about his gut-wrenching habit.
"Casey used to see me hurl all the time," Fletcher said.
"People say they haven't puked," Rabach said to Fletcher, sharing the results of my research. "Everybody's puked at least once on the field, don't you think?"
"I would think so," Fletcher ventured. "That's just me. I puke every week, though."
But, but, but...I thought only McNabb was The Lone Puker in the NFL?!?

QuoteFootball rivalries lead to vandalism.

Eagles fan defaces vehicles supporting rival NFL teams
The fierce rivalries in the National Football League's NFC East spilled over into a Stafford County commuter lot Thursday, police said.
Sheriff's spokesman Bill Kennedy said a deputy went to the lot on Mine Road in North Stafford in response to a reported vandalism. A man told police that he returned to the lot about 5:10 p.m. and found the word "Eagles" painted on the left side of his vehicle.
The victim had a New York Giants sticker on his vehicle, Kennedy said. The Philadelphia Eagles are in the same division as the Giants, along with the Washington taterskins and the Dallas Cowboys.
While the deputy was speaking to that victim, a woman walked up and reported that "Eagles" was also painted on her vehicle.
The word was painted over a taterskins helmet on her passenger-side door.
A third vehicle had the same vandalism, Kennedy said. That vehicle had a taterskins logo on the back windshield, and the paint was on the side.
Anyone with information about the incidents is asked to call the Stafford Sheriff's Office at 658-4400 or Crime Solvers at 659-2020.

I bet it was a Cowboys fan trying to give Philly fans a bad name. Notice there weren't any Dallas cars vandalized.
What they didn't mention was that "Eagles" was painted backwards, as if the car had done it in the mirror.

It is utterly embarrassing how many Steelers fans are at the game tonight. Looks like 1/3 of the stadium, literally.
more than that.
either skins fans havent come back from the nascar race or theyre all revved up for the klan rally in retaliation for the barry win tomorrow
Half a game behind these douchebags now. I sure hope the Eagles can pull a win out of their ass against the Giants.

QuoteSTEELERS FANS DISRUPTED taterskinS' OFFENSE
Posted by Michael David Smith on November 4, 2008, 11:51 a.m. EST
The taterskins were at home last night, but they didn't always feel that way.
So many Steelers fans made the trip to Landover, Maryland (and so many taterskins fans were willing to sell their tickets) that at times it sounded more like Heinz Field than FedEx Field.
The Steelers fans were loud enough when the taterskins had the ball that quarterback Jason Campbell worried that his teammates couldn't hear his cadence.
"We actually went silent count one or two times out there," taterskins tackle Chris Samuels said after the game, per Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post. "I mean, Jason called it so we had to basically obey it."
The taterskins stopped short of criticizing their fans for selling their tickets, although they weren't exactly happy about it.
"You know, I'll be honest with you, it was kind of surprising there were a lot of Steelers fans in the crowd," taterskins coach Jim Zorn said. "It reminded me of the Super Bowl in '05."
Added taterskins guard Pete Kendall, "I mean, that's not the reputation or the expectation I had of the fans here, but who am I to begrudge somebody from making a profit by selling their tickets? I'm playing for money, and they're watching, and it's their right to do what they want with their tickets."
Depending on which estimate you believe, anywhere from 15 percent to 33 percent of the fans in attendance were cheering for the Steelers.
taterskins fans simply need to increase the level of their violence, and the level of their berating, against other teams fans. This would make them better fans and it might even benefit their group of overpaid athletes that supposedly represents their city.
Slow down. Showing up to a game would be a good start. Or ritual suicide.
Ive said for a while that the taterskins have filled the void that the Arizona Cardnials created when they left the east. This helps prove my point.
taterskins fans will never be close to Eagles or Giants fans. Cowpukes fans are a good comparison
Wrong. Giants fans & Eagles fans show up week after week. You'd never see that in Philly or New York where the Eagles & Giants are concerned.
Dallas & Washington get overran with opposing fans on the regular.
Sad (actually hilarious) thing is Washington was 6-2 before yesterday so their apathy isn't performance-related.

I believe idiots and racists are what the two cross bars on the confederate flag symbolize. Although it should also be noted that probably the original rebel flag, "The Bonnie Blue" looked like
(http://www.excelsails.com/Bonnie_Blue_Flag.jpg)
and is basically a dyslexic dallas cowboys flag
It kills me to see the Confederate flag on the back of pickup trucks, and tattooed on peoples shoulders.
Burn that bitch.
I'm sure it's even worse in other parts of the South (with all the transplanted Yanks living here), but there are quite a few "old Floridians" living in the area. Confederate flags, pickup trucks, Yosetime Sam mudflaps and the like.
Probably about 10% of my students come from Old Floridian families. Inland, and the further north you get, it's much higher.

There's one guy in a suburb near mine (Wake County is a blue state through and through) that apparently was a Korean War and Vietnam Vet and is also an incredible racist. His house has the ultimate redneck front yard (piled used tires, old appliances, etc) complete with a high-flying Confederate flag. The town has been trying to force him to sell for years, but apparently they have to wait until he dies.
Still, it's in an area where it certainly stands out. I'm sure he'd fit in better in the more rural parts of the state.
From what I understand the 'confederate' flag that is flown today was never used by the confederacy at any point.
It came into existence after the civil war was over, so basically it is just an invented 'I hate darkies' symbol.

I'll take your word for it.
You take it alright.
Now, how about some content:
Quote"I couldn't [bleeping] hear him."
-taterskins center Casey Rabach, on telling Jason Campbell they would have to use a silent snap count due to the invading hordes of Steelers fans at FedEx field.
"It was definitely a strange environment. We had to go silent count in third-down situations and shotgun situations. Having to do that at home, that's unbelievable. It's the first time we've had to go silent count in our home stadium."
-Rabach. (Associated Press)
"Never. First for me."
-taterskins guard Randy Thomas, when asked about using a silent count at home.
"I'm like, 'Are those yellow towels for us or for them?' I really scratched my head about it, because I've never seen it done, especially at FedEx, to have someone come into our home and almost have more fans than we did."
-taterskins wide receiver Santana Moss.
"It was something we discussed on the sidelines. Like, 'Damn, are we giving away free towels tonight or something?' ... For a [visiting] team like that to be able to get a hold of tickets, I mean, how can you do that?"
-Thomas.
"It sounded like 50-50 from the noise they were making. I'm disappointed. FedEx has never had that many other teams' fans. I don't know, it kind of shocked me when I seen all those Terrible Towels. I know Pittsburgh ain't but a couple miles away from here, but we've got to keep them out of our place. I'm not disappointed on the fans, but somebody let 'em in there. It wasn't me, and I know it wasn't [owner] Dan [Snyder], so somebody let 'em in there."
-taterskins cornerback Fred Smoot, who apparently wants bouncers at FedEx Field.
"I mean, that's not the reputation or the expectation I had of the fans here, but who am I to begrudge somebody from making a profit by selling their tickets? I'm playing for money, and they're watching, and it's their right to do what they want with their tickets."
-taterskins guard Pete Kendall, with a far more cogent analysis than most. (Washington Post)
Anybody want to post that on the taterskins message board and see what happens?

Obama would win. The taterskins would suck. I was trying to tell the ES folks this ten months ago. Most of them were mum on the former and disagreed with the later.
This reminds me of the 1993 season after Gibbs retired the first time. Following the first game when the Skins crushed the Cowboys there was the suggestion (even by some professionals) that maybe Gibbs' presence had actually been impeding the team. Wrong. Fail.
The skins haven't been fully Zornified yet, obviously.

Eli goes right down the field on them with a couple of nice passes. 7-0 early
It was nice to see the skins play inspired football in remembrance of their fallen comrade.
What better way to honor Mister Taylor than to lay down and die?
By the way, the announcers used the phrase "entire taterskins family" at least 10 times during the pre-game and 1st quarter yesterday. It would have been very difficult to be more nauseated.
Looking goooooood against B-more so far!

Hey, the Eagles aren't in last place anymore. :)

that'll hurt them bad
pointing...laughing. id prob say portis goes down eventually too. pointing...laughing
Portis is hurt for real. The dude is tough as shtein, but completely ineffective right now.
The Skins are nose diving with a 2 game losing streak going into Cincinnati this week. They are desperate for a win against a crappy Bengals team.
in case anyone is going, the Eagles/taterskins game was moved to 4:15
sweet.
Portis Smashes Jim Zorn: The Quotes
So we officially have a chemistry problem. Clinton Portis unloaded on Jim Zorn during today's John Thompson Show appearance, over and over again. He swore, he suggested maybe he should go on the injured reserve, he offered to become a cheerleader, and he said this, when asked what adjustments should be made.
"We got a genius for a head coach, I don't know, I'm sure he on top of things. He's got everything figured out. Hey, that's up to him. All I can do is when he calls a play is go out and try to execute to the best of my ability."
And then later, on the big picture, he had this to say:
"Maybe I'm the problem. Maybe I'm the problem, since I don't practice, since I'm the only person that don't practice and come out and give it what I've got, maybe I'm the problem, so I might need to be on IR."
Zorn's response, an hour later, to Portis claiming he was benched?
"Well, any time you don't go in, that's the way you feel," Zorn said. "And he is a big part of our offense and he's sitting on the bench, he's got to feel like he's benched, I don't blame him for that."
And Zorn on the IR question: "No, I think he's gotten himself healthy, I think he felt a lot better after this game and I'm looking forward to having him out there on every snap, practicing [and] getting ready for the Cincinnati Bengals so we can use him as our every down back."
And lastly, Zorn on the practice issue: "It wasn't that we weren't getting the running ability, he was doing great things, his effort was high. He would tell you this and I agree with him wholeheartedly, that when he is playing the game he's giving you his best effort and I've said this over and over again, he's very wicked on the playing field, he's what you want....Each week I felt like in certain parts of the game he was getting out on routes but it wasn't exact and quick. And I thought, 'ok here's an opportunity for us to get Ladell in, who HAS practiced.' And he knows it just because he's rehearsed it and rehearsed it. I think [Portis is] a confident player and he would believe he can do it without reps, I just made the decision not to give him that chance.
More Portis quotes (and this will keep updating until I'm done transcribing):
On his coaches: "If my coaches don't feel like I can get it done, put me on the sidelines. You feel like I can help this team, put me on the field, and that's all I've got to say about it. I don't' have to confront them. They know what they've got. They know what's standing on the sideline. Five weeks ago, three weeks ago, four weeks ago when I'm sitting first in the NFL and all of the sudden we don't run the ball no more? I'm hurt, and that's why we ain't running it? Cmon. You [kidding] me?"
On the lines of communication: "It ain't lack of communication with me because that's some BS to go out and say I don't know what's going on. When have I missed a meeting? Let me start missing meetings. Let me not come out and practice, let me sit my ass in the training room if I don't know what's going on. What am I standing outside for?"
On being benched: "You know, I think when you come to me man it's just a matter of who wants to see me out. You know, London Fletcher played in the game and didn't practice all week. All of the sudden it gets aggravating to [see me] standing on the sideline and you see me step into something and pick it up and understand what's going on. I haven't missed a meeting, I haven't missed a practice. I'm outside, I hear everything everybody else hears. It kind of shocked me too, but hey that's what the man said. You go back and watch film, I guarantee you won't see me make no mistakes. Maybe he's watching a different film than me."
On his understanding of the situation: "If it's an issue with me, you tell me that. Outside of Jim Zorn and the coaches on that team and maybe the quarterbacks, I guarantee you I know our system better than anybody else, I guarantee when we go over blitz pickups I don't miss my man. I don't know what it is, bro. If anybody got a problem with me, they need to talk to me. I don't know whats going on."
On his plans: "I'm gonna go out there and try to make sure I don't get hurt and I'll make sure I get out in every pass route. If my man ain't coming, I ain't chipping nobody, I ain't doing nothing I ain't supposed to do. I'm gonna get out in my pass route and that's where I'll be. If somebody else give up a sack or anything else, that's on them."
On communication: "Hey, they don't tell me nothing. They don't have to answer to me bro. One day it's fun, it's nice, you smile, you happy for me, you appreciate the way I play on the field, you just wish I would practice. If I could practice, I'd practice. If my injuries weren't legit than the training room wouldn't hold me out, they'd have me on the field. I think people get caught up into the conversation of the media but then tell you not to get caught up into the conversation....
"I go out there and give it everything I've got. If I can run through the week I'd practice, if I can't then I ain't. And I'm not gonna force myself to go onto a field and do something crazy, and then all of the sudden I'm out. What I need to be around for is Sundays and that's what I try to be around for. So I mean, if you've got a problem with me not practicing and can't do it that way, maybe you feel like you need to sever ties, split ties with me? Split ties with me. But don't sit here and throw me out like I don't pay attention, like I don't know what's going on, like I'm making mistakes, I'm the problem. You know, so, it is what it is, bro."
On his blocking assignments: "You know, one day it's chip on your way out, then if you don't chip and you get out and the quarterback gets sacked it's like, 'Oh, you need to help this man out.' So they don't know what they want. They want you to chip, they want you to block, Jason's on his ass all game long, you're trying to stay in and help, and then it's, 'Oh, you should have gone out, they was coming to you.'
"I've been wide open, they don't come to me. But then he over there and came free and he done got the wind knocked out of him from getting sacked and getting hit in the back, then it's, 'Aw man you've got to help out, you've got to chip.' So you know, I don't think they know what they want me to do. You know, when things going good you're getting praised. I don't know if people getting aggravated with me getting attention. I don't know what it is."
On how he'd like to be used: "Hey, bro, it ain't rocket science how to use me. They can figure that out. If they want to put the ball in my hands I can try to help the team win. They don't I'll try to do whatever I can. If I need to cheer Ladell on, I'll cheer Ladell on. I'm not gonna be bitter about the situation. I think Ladell went int and made some big plays. When he came off to the sideline I was the first one sitting there to talk with him about what I seen, which wasn't much, but I think he did a hell of a job."
On his health: "I'm fine. I'm totally healthy after not playing against Baltimore. So the good thing about it is I'll be at practice tomorrow."
I just read about that too...ES is in an uproar
ed reed made portis his bitch on sunday and that idiot has the audacity to blame his coach?
Clearly, he has not been adequately Zornified yet.

There was one there and it was started about 20 minutes after the comments came out.
ANd they were even using McNabb's getting benched as a rallying cry too.

Was it Bubba? With comments like "Nah the Giants lost it, not anything the eagles did", he really has gone off the deep end lately.
lately = ten years ago

Colt Brennan time!
^^^^
And I ridiculed all the losers in Hawaii that were walking around town with their Colt Brennen #5 Skins jerseys.
Time to break out my Ilao jersey.
I want Brennan in there for no other reason than I'll get to mock the jerkoff on the EMB the Eagles have posting (or is it posing?) as a draft expert.
Can we, in turn, mock you for being on the EMB?
He's not on the EMB. He IS the EMB.

Let me assure you, I bleed Burgundy and Gold. More so in years like these but just like in the Cowboys, taterskins 'miracle' of 2005 had I quit, given up and gone to bed as I'm sure SO MANY of YOU here did and MISSED IT.

Lying ass friggen' dickhead taterskin fan. No way in hell would any peoples in this country away from D.C. praise the pathetic idiocy that is taterskin fanaticism.
They really are hilarious, though. The guy spent an entire paragraph congratulating himself for being a bigger and better fan than anyone else.
I mean, what's not to love about that?
i love how he thinks its a big deal that he stayed a fan of his team simply because he moved...i need to introduce him to this guy romey who moved all the way to FLORIDA :o and stayed an eagle fan...best fan eva that romey

How many notches for posting on a message board about crying when your favorite football player eva was shot in the nuts?
Oh, several. The more seriously you take it, the more claim you have to fandom.
Cowboy Chris is scoring very high lately, for example.

I thought the post began well. It was poetic. But then it became less Jim Morrison and more Ardent taterskins fan. Ending with "Peace_" was a nice touch which integrated the seemingly disparate elements of lyrical expression and whiney little racist douchebag POS.
welp......the taterskins were eliminated earlier than the Eagles, so there's that :-\

Oh, he so Zorny.

You like to Zornicate with your lady?
Reid was Zorn a new icehole.
I like to whack it to internet Zorn.
Hell hath no fury like Coach Zorn.
There is a special place in hell for anyone that's ever played for, worked for, or rooted for the skins.
John Riggins and Art Monk excepted of course.
Riggins = white RB = hell
Monk = played for the Eagles briefly = exception granted
BTW, Zorn apparently saved his job for 2009, per Cerrato. Who wants to bet that Snyder still tries to throw a bunch of money at Cowher?
Looks like the taterskins are going to lose at San Francisco on a last-second FG and finish in last place...
got it. last place for the racists and they get games with the Lions and Rams in 2009....

QuoteWatching Ed Reed made me cry-missing ST
Yesterday while watching Ed Reed put on an all-pro performance made me tear up. I could not help but think of how different that team would be without Reed, as are the taterskins without #21. I know maybe the entirety of the season hit me or what not, but with the playmaker back there their D is able to do things not normally thought possible. The coverages they can employ, the closeness in which the DB's can cover, it is the difference in yesterdays game and the two team's seasons.
And I think back to our season. I know we all say, if only we could get pressure on the QB. With Sean they could get that pressure. And really Landry, Horton or any other safety we have did not put that shadow of doubt in the QB's mind, or the receiver. Landry is good, but Sean was great.
You must account for that guy(Taylor or Reed), or he is going to get you, from out of nowhere. Game changers, not just once in a season. I know some of this was covered in the past, and that sadly Sean is gone. But it really makes me wonder, what if? If only. He could have accounted for two to three more wins easily.
To the best, #21.
Did this hit anybody else this way?
Mass psychosis.
Sean Taylor couldn't sniff Ed Reed's taint hair.
Of course not. He's dead.
Ed Reed's dead? That would actually be a tragedy.
