coldpack Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I watch sports center all the time when i have the chance (i don't have cable). But whenever i watch, i notice that the word "Redskins" gets mentioned less than .000005 times per show. Why is that? Why doesn't the Skin get any lime light? I was watching nfl network on nfl.com for week 2 previews. The redskins vs cowboys preview was the last on the list.. AND IT was CUT OFF before it even started. Can someone answer this for me??? Its not fair. The 49ers gets the spotlight (even before their win against stl), the dolphins now get some light, EVEN THE BROWNS do! We? We just get Eastern Motors commercials *Where your jobs your credit* lol :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldpack Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 for the same reason the Cardinals don't get any lime light.... because we've sucked for a decade plus...

@DCGoldPants Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 the Skins get all kinds of hype..... just bad stuff because we stink. that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsLover Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Yeah, but with our defense as good as it was last year....I dont understand how we are always shoved to the back of the line and being discounted. And you know what, its not just ESPN, its everyone. If we win this game against the Boys I think that will be a huge step for them not being able to ignore us anymore.

laurent Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 The Redskins have been a horrible, horrible football team for a long time and Gibbs has never really been a media darling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every media outlet, every network, every team, other fans, announcers, refs, commisioners, EVERYONE! There is a bias against the skins from everyone and everything from every angle conceivable.

RobMexico Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I guess I don't see it since I'm a Cowboys fan in Maryland, and all I hear from the local media/980 Sports Talk is Skins 24/7. What I have noticed though, is everytime ESPN shows highlights/clips/segments on players or teams doing well and they use past coverate; they always show them beating/burning/crushing the Cowboys! Every positive report on any team or player always has one small clip of them doing well against the Cowboys! What the hell is that all about?!?

I think every fan thinks that the world hates his team. I'm in Ravensland so I always hear negative things about the Skins and when I turn on ESPN I keep hearing how soft Yao is HE DOESN'T GET A BREAK DURING THE SUMMER YOU CLOWNS :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwater Ally Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 The only time ESPN talks about us is when we switch quarterbacks. Is that not frequent enough for you? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westbrook36 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Sportscenter is too busy doing teaser promos showing long outs or long foul balls by Bonds and making you believe that they might have been homeruns. :jerk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just get Eastern Motors commercials *Where your jobs your credit* lol :laugh: There is no media bias against the Skins (other than the obvious Pastabelly & Peter King). Several people have touched on the problem. We have one playoff appearance in 12 years. Plus after being active in the FA market and making several big colorful coaching changes since 2000 every analyst out there has been burned by thinking that this is the year the Skins turn it around. Right now we are the boy that cried wolf. I'm pretty sure if you go onto every team's message board and you will find a thread like this, even New England. Besides, other than the QB change what exactly is there to talk about? We think we have a shot at being a good team but until it our offense consistently starts to put up points we are the same 6-10 team as last year. Most people that have paid close attention notice that the O-line is markedly better than last year in both pass protection and the running game. Lets see it translate to wins now.
