2006 Point & Laugh at the taterskins thread

[Sgt PSN]

The awesome thing about it is that Brunell suffered the injury due to pointing and laughing at the taterskins. 

[MDS]

It's that time again. This one, like always, took zero time to find.

Thread titled "Art Monk is the Greatest Wide Reciever of All Time."

I know there are already posts like this, and it is only my 81st, but I could think of no more fitting way to post then to have the 81st dedicated to Art Monk. To me he was Jerry Rice before there was a Jerry Rice & is still better then him in my opinion as he always had others to share the ball with & never had anybody the likes of Steve Young or Joe Montana throwing his way. Let's get Art in the Hall of Fame

Yes i agree. Art Monk is the man. He ripped some of the best defenses ever. He deserves to be in the hall of fame. Completely hatred agaisnt the washigton taterskins. If he was a cowboy he would defenitly be in. Im sick and tired of the nfl being bias againts the taterskins.

Seriously guys. I'd rather have Art Monk than Jerry Rice. Who wouldn't?

Art Monk was a great reciever, he could get open on any D in the league, but he was no Jerry Rice by any streatch of the imagination. Rice was faster, beat double teams all the time, and caught a lot more TD's than Monk did.

The thing about Monk was the way the Skins orginization shtein on him. He was the best reciever they ever had and they never gave him a Harley like they did someone else. They let him go with as little fan fare as possible.

Art Monk wasn't the best reciever of all time, but he was damn shore one of them.

The Skins seem to do that to alot of their "potential HoFers."  Wasn't the Brian Mitchell "sign-and-retire" also a fiasco, thanks to the whole handling of the salary cap (which was why they had to sign him AFTER the season was over or some crazy situation like that)?  I barely remember it but I do remember that the contract was signed in February.  (Contrast with Randall, who signed in the 2002 during the pre-season, and retired).

The canonization of Joe Gibbs continues:

I think all new players at camp for the Washington taterskins should be required to get on one knee and literally kiss each of the Super Bowl rings on the fingers of Joe Gibbs, Don Breaux, Ernest Byner, Joe Bugel, Jack Burns, et al. They should feel fortunate to be in their mere presence.

This will begin their indoctrination into the program and begin to develop the warrior and respect mentality from the get go. Parcells has his first round picks be his waterboy for the summer, so I think we should do something similar to put these guys egos in their place.

The mission, the sole objective, should be the Ring.

Oh dear god.

[PhillyGirl]

That's extremely vomit-worthy.

That guy is the extremeskins version of Bunkley78 times 500,000.   
It's been calculated.

Some school kids in Miami are in for a real treat. Sean Taylor is coming to give them a talk. Let's hope they don't take notes.

Taylor, a k a Tha Hitman, is a star with the Washington taterskins. A hit-man mentality might get the average citizen in trouble. But we found out again last week that Pro Bowl ability means never having to say you're sorry.

Taylor faced 46 years in jail on assault charges. There was a little neighborhood spat last year featuring pistols, an M16 and a baseball bat. Everybody involved has less credibility than Paulie Walnuts. Throw in all the lawyers an $18 million contract can buy, and the result was predictable.

Taylor pleaded down to two misdemeanors and got 18 months' probation with a cherry on top -- community service. He'll have to donate $1,000 to 10 area schools and talk about staying in school. It's an odd topic considering Taylor left Miami early for the NFL, but the justice system moves in mysterious ways.

"It sounds like a travesty," said Gordon Bazemore, a criminology professor at Florida Atlantic.

He didn't know all the details of Taylor's case, but he's an expert on community service. It's the preferred Get Out of Jail Almost Free card for today's Jock on the Go.

USA Today recently examined 40 cases in which athletes were charged with offenses ranging from assault to drug possession to having sex with minors. Only 5 percent ever made it to trial.

In 24 of the 28 cases in which community service could be determined, the penalties were not exactly roadside trash pickup in an orange vest. Though to be fair, NASCAR driver Kurt Busch had to exert himself enough to throw out the first pitch at an Arizona Diamondbacks game. Most community service turned out to be loosely organized public appearances. The strategy is to lawyer up, plead down and try to show up at your autograph session on time.

Some sentences are redemptive. Bazemore cited a case in which athletes who parked in handicapped spaces were sentenced to working with the physically challenged.

"Community service can turn people around," Bazemore said. "Or it can make them more defiant."

Any predictions on Tha Hitman? Taylor actually has a pretty clean criminal record. One DUI charge was dismissed. Another night he allegedly had a concealed weapon at a Miami nightclub. The off-duty cop tried to frisk him. Taylor ran off and never was apprehended.

NFL prosecutors have had more luck. Taylor has been fined seven times in just two years for things like late hits and spitting in Michael Pittman's face.

Not that any of that means he was guilty of anything last June, of course. The only undisputed facts are that two all-terrain vehicles he owned were stolen, and Taylor really wanted them back. Witnesses said he drove up to the suspected thief's house, started waving a gun and said, "The police can't touch me. I own this town."

The rest of the ATV recovery mission included a brawl and approximately 27 fresh bullet holes in Taylor's SUV. He fled that scene before cops arrived, then turned himself in three days later. He has denied having a weapon.

It doesn't sound like the behavior of someone with nothing to hide, but who are we to judge? The most important thing is that this unfortunate incident has taught Tha Hitman a valuable lesson.

The next is that he now will be able to relate it to school kids. What's that speech Taylor likes to give?

"The police can't touch me. I own this town."

The fact he'll be standing there will be proof enough of that.

Taylor is a bad mother farger.

Still getting your shots in at Philly though.

bubba breaks down the nfc east

taterskins [11-5]
Giants [10-6]
Cowboys [7-9]
Eagles [5-11]


Washington taterskins - The most improved unit of the team is the coaching staff. Football games are won and lost in the trenches. Between offensive coordinator Al Saunders and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, these are going to be areas where the taterskins will shine. The lines of the taterskins are considerably better than anyone else in the division. With the addition of Andre Carter, the defensive line has improved. Any unit that is led by Williams is going to be a contender. The only real question mark is can QB Mark Brunell stay healthy. If not, Jason Campbell is going to have to play like Ben Roethlisberger did in his rookie year for the 'Skins to make the playoffs.

New York Giants - Most people have already crowned the G-Men as the division champs. I don't think so. Yes, they did sign LaVar Arrington. That makes the defense the strong unit on the team, but I still need a lot of proof that Eli Manning is going to be able to win the big game. I don't think he can, and he will prove that again this year. I see the Giants making the playoffs, as a wild card team, but making it no farther than the first round.

Dallas Cowboys - I will give TO until week 5 before the INTERNAL problems start, beginning with him not getting enough balls thrown his way from the human statue named Drew Bledsoe. Then, it'll be another two weeks before those stories start leaking out into the public. TO is a cancer that will harm this team more than he helps it. I will say Dallas' defense is much improved, but the fact is, this is Bill Parcells' last year in Dallas, and he is going to go out with a thump.

Philadelphia Eagles - Can anyone tell me how this team improved in anyway, shape or form this off season? I don't question Donovan McNabb's ability, but without a true No.1 WR, and a running back that has shown he is as fragile as fine china? Anyone that thinks Philly has a chance of even going 8-8 has no clue about football

[Rome]

Sounds like wishful thinking from old Bubba over there.

[mooby]

That wasn't Bubba that wrote that article, it was some guy from Scouts.com.


Anyways, i know you guys love hating on the taterskins, but in your honest opinion, who do you think is the face of the defense? I'm just curious as to what fans of other teams might think.

[General_Failure]

Marcus Washington. After that, there's nobody that I think is both talented and shows leadership qualities (exmple: not shooting or spitting on people).
