Hey everyone, long time, browser/reader...first time posting. Just wanted to say this site is amazing. Good to know there alot of skins fans all over the country. Anyways, has anyone got a chance to read Attners article on Foxsports.com? Heres the link:

http://www.foxsports.com/content/view?contentId=2201106

First of all, I dont know how this made the front page of foxsports.com. Granted, our reputation for being the champions of the offseason and spending, but what gets me about this article is that Attner does all this badgering of the organization, yet offers no insight on what would been a "better" approach in his opinion.

Just as with my favorite college football (Gator Alumi), seems our skins get alot of heat, constantly. To make a long story short, if you have not read the article, check it out, get infuriated, and hope that when we have a winning season, this guy can shove it up his you know what :twisted:

P.S Go Skins

Not only does that jerk not know what he's talking about, but he fails to address a couple key issues. He seems to think that it's Snyder and Cerrato making all the personnel choices. When are these people going to learn that it's GIBBS making the decisions. This no good excuse for a reporter has the audacity to say that Gibbs can't possibly know how to evaluate todays talent. HELLO? Does he not realize that Greg Williams is on the team as well? Does he even know that Greg Williams is quite fluent in "todays NFL"? Does he realize that Joe Bugel is in the loop as well? Does he ralize that by hiring Gibbs, Snyder effectively said "Joe, I just own the team and I'll sing the checks, but it's your ship now".

I'm sorry, but that article was one of the worst examples of sportswriting I have ever seen. My seven year old nephew could have written a far better article than that jerk. It's times like this that I wish to hell the season started tomorrow, so we could finally say a giant, collecttive "I TOLD YOU SO" to jerks like that.

Sorry, just venting. I hate reporters that write about things they have absolutely no knowledge of.

Oh, and welcome to the greatest Redskins site on the net.
