Sleepless Nights

Post by wamcma »

Can any of you tell me what Boomer Esiasson's politics are relative to the Skins. On NFL.com website his article "Winning Is A Brees", states that "Gibbs has an offense that cannot score and PLAYERS THAT DON'T GIVE A DAMN". What is he talking about. Where does he get that impression. I see a team that is working like heck to win.

Who knows what goes on inside his head ? I'm not sure what he's looking at, but losing does breed a certain callousness.
Maybe that's what he was talking about. Nobody is really raging on the sidelines when something goes wrong, because something almost always goes wrong.
Winning a few will change all that.
I wouldn't go so far as to say they don't "give a damn", though. They just need something to defend, like a win streak.

What is the general tone many of the column writers and sports talk personalities in that kneck of the woods?

I know in Dallas, the honeymoon is definitely over for Parcells...

Boomer probably hasn't even seen a Redskins game this year. 90% of these guys arn't qualified to have an opinion on much of anything.
That's why if I don't read it on TheHogs.Net - I don't believe it. :D

In retrospect was Boomer considered a successful southpaw quarterback. Are there any similarities to him and Brunell? I do not know what it is except all southpaw QB's look the same to me. It seems they are trying to overcome some mechanical deficiency. Except for Stabler. I wonder what the baseball equivalent of this may be. I am being prejucdial here? Correct? I sure wish we had a righhanded QB.

Don't lose any sleep over what Boomer says. Or what any of the "sports media" people say.

Watch the games. See the Redskins get a little better. See them lose that Turner/Spurrier losing tradition.
