SkinsFTW Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/ Whats up with that? Under a picture of Cooley in the endzone it says "Emerging star Chris Cooley and the 9-6 Redskins have a chance to reach the playoffs if they beat the Eagles on Sunday" A 1 in 1 chance. There isn't any chance they they wont be in the playoffs if they win that game. WTF are they talking about anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oriolesfan93p Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 what they are trying to say is that their chance is the win against the eagles, and that if we lose then we have no chance. I agree that it could have been worded better and that the same phrase could have been used if we needed help to get into the playoffs like the cowboys, but there is nothing truely "inacurate" with the statement.

They should have said: "Emerging star Chris Cooley and the 9-6 Redskins will reach the playoffs if they beat the Eagles on Sunday" Or they could have said: "Emerging star Chris Cooley and the 9-6 Redskins have a chance to reach the playoffs if they DON'T beat the Eagles on Sunday" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killadingo Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 A true headline should read: "Skins win and they're in!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjcdaman Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Man, I hope that isn't the front cover. The last thing we need is the SI jinx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCav06 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I see the mistake. Cooley isn't an "emerging" star, he's already a star! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herrmag Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Just poorly worded. I too am shocked that it got by the editors. Then again, this is just on their website. It'll probably be changed in the next hour or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potato Sack Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Well if it's a jinx, then it would have a reverse effect and we WOULD win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably be changed in the next hour or two. Yeah, like when ESPN had an article on Lavar Arrington a couple months ago and the picture they put in the article was some other dude that looked nothing like him, lol.

hokie4redskins Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Gee wiz, relax guys. Tensions at an all-time high around here. I can understand that. I'm aware of the obvious hatred of our beloved Redskins but I hardly think this headline is part of some sinister conspiracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 Or how about their main headline: "Now Or Never Time is running out for teams to make their final push in Dr. Z's Power Rankings." As if his "Power Rankings" decide who is going to win the Super Bowl. And retards like him are who vote for the HOF. No wonder it has been turned into as much of a joke as the Pro Bowl voting.
