Was Pastabelly's article about football or a movie :hmm:
I figured it would be anti Skins because thats all he write about, but this article I can't tell what the subject is. The quotes from former or present coaches I understood but whenever LP added something the story lost something. It would have been quicker if he would have come straight to the point that being said the only thing I got out of this was Len Hates "The Danny" and will never give him credit for anything.

What a jerk, his article was all over the place and his movie references were pretty bad.

This site has gone a long way to making me more of a Skins fan. I don't have too many brethern up here so I never got into all of the rivalry and was never exposed to a lot of the ignorant stuff people say about our team. I hope that Joe makes Fat Len eat his words.

I would love to see after out 10-6 record this year, all the Skins fans across the country write into ESPN and make the fat <insert explicative here> ;furious; </end explicative> eat his words!!! We demand a public apology!

Of the two linked pages:

- Len P is interesting blather. I mean it held my attention long enough to finsh, and think, "yeah, and when did Joe Gibbs ever say this would be easy?"

- Joe T. knows. And what made Sean S. and expert? His record in playoff games?

What absolute drivel.

LEN--> Get over it... you are not only embarassing yourself... you're embarassing ESPN too.

The thing that strikes me as being the MOST irresponsible thing in the article is that while many of those things may be somewhat true.. they're true for ALL coaches.

And to not acknowledge that Gibbs is AS capable or more ccapable of dealing with those things than the other incumbents trying to do the job, is just... irresponsible.

Hey Lenny... writing about the game has changed a lot since '92 too eh?

Now even a hump like you can be a reporter. :rock:

I've figured Pastabelly out..its simple..he HATES Snyder for the spending he does and wants the team to lose for that reason only, even if Gibbs is coaching. I truly think Pasta likes Gibbs, but he supersedes them winning by his hatred of Snyder. Get over it for Christ's sake, Lenny, get over it?? Snyder has matured dramatically over the last five years, we've all seen it. He is much more professional(ie, dress downs to Turner in locker room after 99 loss to Dallas in Dallas), doesn't interfere any more, spends more wisely...

I've also figured out Pasta's boss, ESPN, is a spineless worm because they have a writer who continues to obviously be absolutely biased towards the Skins and they appear to not be saying "Lenny, come on, chill out a bit on the Skins and be a bit more neutral, we run a professional organization here. It's ok now and then, but basically 95% of everything you write about them is negative. If you don't become more neutral, we're going to shtcan your arse"

If I was the boss of ESPN, this guy would KNOW he's on a short leash.

He just writes the same boring BS every two weeks. I wonder why they even pay him, he never says anything new.

As for Sean Salisbury, does he really think that the Cowboys are really going to make a Superbowl run. That is THE STUPIDEST thing I have ever heard an ESPN analyst say. I can see it now, Eddie George rushes for 100 yards and Testeverde is the Superbowl MVP.

Now THAT would really require a time machine!

This len fatarelli article pissed me off

This is my first post here at thehogs.net, i love this site cause its nice to find other ppl that bleed red and burgandy just like me. Normally I just sit back and read what you guys have to say but this article made me wonder how some writers become experts.

Len, and a lot of other writers out there, have written about how gibbs will struggle with this new "free agency" era. The thing is, gibbs is very familiar with it. Back in the early 90's him and mr. bobby bethard put the finishing pieces together on the 91 championship team by using free agency. At the time it was called plan b free agency i believe. They quietly picked up key role players that put the skins over the edge that year. So all this talk about free agency and gibbs' inexperience with it is kinda blown out of proportion if you ask me.

GO SKINS
