bubba9497 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 just remember sensationalism sells They want to get as many hits and viewers as possible out of a story, and big news items like this... they will spin every fart an owner lets as some big news, with huge headlines. Ever notice that is similar situations, as with this one.... they have reported both pro & con with in hours of each other... giving the extreme possibilities in each case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoSkins Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 There are 4 other teams in worse shape than the Skins and they have had no press. Oakland, Miami, Kansas City, and Tennessee are in worse shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouvan59 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 There are 4 other teams in worse shape than the Skins and they have had no press. Oakland, Miami, Kansas City, and Tennessee are in worse shape. My understanding is that those 4 teams are farther over the cap right now but because of the way the Skins have structured their contracts they will have a tougher time getting under. Of course, the difference is that those 4 teams are run with a tight fist and Danny will do everything within the limits of his wallet to get under.

Darth Tater Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Old news bro... Yes, they've run a very similar story for each of the last three years. However, I guess if you keep saying the same thing, maybe you'll be right someday. BTW, is 20 rookies on the roster necesarilly a bad thing?

Bang Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 So wait a minute. For years these hacks have yelled that the Redskins need to learn to build in the draft and not thru free agency. And now there's the "RUMOR" that they may have a little over a 3rd of the roster being rookies, and now this is a bad thing. Of course, I'll believe it when i see it. Last year the Eagles had 11 draft picks and were geniuses for potentially choosing to have that many rookies. I'd say Pasquarelli is talking out of both sides of his mouth again, but the Law of Len says that if one side is talking, the other is eating. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWB Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Iheard he's mastered the rare talk AND eat out of both sides at the same time :laugh: Now that is a true art! Not to hijack the thread, but has anyone seen the video on redskins.com about 1 hour w/ Gibbs at the combine? After one of the media sessions it shows Peter King going up to Gibbs and acting all nice and kissing up. That little brown-noser writes the most **** about the skins and then comes up to Gibbs like that? :hammer: Sorry, had to get that off my chest.
