fansince62 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 "First off who in the hell is Czabes think he to think he is qualified to make an assesment of any players ability much less ask him in front of a TV camera unprepared. he never goes to Redskin Park, and knows nothing about football And to actually think he aid Joe Gibbs proves what a true idiot he really is" too bad he proved right and you were wrong all along....matters of taste aside. it would seem there is room to question all manner of folks posturng as Redskin savants.

ntotoro Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Ok... So why did CSN edit the interview with Mark Booonell with Steve Szymol? Because even they recognized it wasn't a question, it was a way for Slingczabe to call attention to himself. The 'Skins organization has nothing to do with CSN. Neither does Slingczabe, after single-handedly destroying 980's relationship with the 'Skins last year. That's why he's so bitter. The guy would talk trash about Coach Gibbs behind his back, then be sunshine, puppies & kittens to his face. As soon as the phone would hang up, back to making fun of him. Everything Slingczabe does is for himself and only himself, not the viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouvan59 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 We should be thanking Czaban for getting Brunell to finally talk to Gibbs and convince Gibbs he isn't the guy anymore.I don't think Brunell would have been benched or have asked Gibbs to be benched if this question hadn't taken place. I wish he would have asked these questions after Brunell's horrific performances in the final game against Philly, and against Tampa in the playoffs before the Seattle game last year. It was clear at that point Brunell was keeping us from getting to the Super Bowl and all other phases in our game were working. You're kidding, right? Czabe's "tough" questions play absolutely zero factor in anything that has ever happened in the world of the Redskins. He put himself on the level of Jim Rome with his worthless questioning of Mark Brunell. As has been mentioned several times he didn't ask these questions to get information out of Mark Brunell. He did it to draw attention to himself. He knew that worst case scenario (for Czabe) that Mark Brunell would stand there dumbfounded at the complete lack of professionalism or best case scenario (for Czabe) that he would get Brunell to lash out at him so he could get on ESPN over and over and over.

Jofizz Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Czaban is a grade A douche. He thinks he is the man for asking Brunell these questions. It just shows everyone that he has zero class. There are reasons that he doesn't go to Redskins Park to do interviews. It has always seemed like Coach Gibbs never liked Czaban. He sits on his lazy arse and makes up stories that he thinks he's breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaadin123 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Is this website for real? Is he really this arrogant?! What a douche bag! Please tell me he didn't say, "The Black Big Ben." I am so sick of reporters having to distiguish race when comparing players!! Why can't he just say, the next Big Ben? And now everyone of course compares him to Doug Williams. Why can't he be compared to any QB? The color of his skin does not matter - it is insulting to a person to only compare them to those of their own race. I agree with you, but the fact of the matter is, that is does matter, Im not sure why but it clearly does matter to the majority of the people who watch the sport. Some people may think like that idiot "Jimmy the Greek" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Czaban is a zero. I dont even think dedicating a thread to him is worth anything. I stopped listening to him and Brian Mitchell a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinva Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Czabe is a jackass, so is Brian Mitchell.They do nothing ever but berate this team while waving a B&G flag......they did it in 2005 when we were winning as well. Watching Redskins Postgame on Comcast is only for those who like to hear bad things about the Washington Redskins. No matter how well the Skins play, they will find something bad to say about the Skins, the players, the coaches and the franchise. They don't even break down the missteps, they just complain about the team. Actually they sound like posters here on ES. My advice, you want a good breakdown of what the Skins did right and wrong after a game without the opinionated BS that the Postgame goofs bring watch Sports extra on Fox 5 with Trevor Mattich. It's this kind of blind ballwashing that will ensure Snyder never has to consistently put a winner on the field to make money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotalRecall Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Like the questions or not, he did Redskin fans a favor. I do get annoyed that the media doesn't ask tough questions to the players and coaches. Czaban's questions were rather rhetorical, but it did sting because Brunell is used to the normal bland questioning the media asks. When Joe Gibbs gets annoying questions, he gives that "I know more than you" type of response. To me, it was refreshing to have somebody ask questions like they cared what is happening to the team.

nneece Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I agree. The point of the question was malice, not information gathering. Czaban was, like most of us, sick of seeing crappy QB play and decided to take it out on the QB, as if Brunell is sucking on purpose just to tick us off. The thing is, it didn't have to come to this. Sooner or later this situation would have arisen. You can't ignore the 1000 lb. elephant in the room by not asking Mark Brunell questions related to his poor performance. If Mark had been benched earlier in the season, when his performance dictated that he should be benched, you would have never had a situation like this. Of course, we know that Gibbs is not the best judge of character when it comes to benching Mark Brunell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD Riggo Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I've always come to expect Czaban to be the self-promoting contrarian. He and his sidekick on the afternoon show (Andy something) that I USED TO listen to during football season (because Redskins discussion is hard to find here in Florida) always are blasting the Skins because they apparently would do better at coaching and managing the team. But after watching the live post-game show Sunday on Comcast , and pulling that stunt, he should be fired from Comcast. That wasn't professional journalism/commentary . That was taking a cheap shot at a guy, who for whatever reason, has been struggling most of the season. The thing about Brunell is that he obviously was trying to do his best, but for some reason -- the pressure of perform-or-be-benched/ a new offensive scheme, or whatever -- just hasn't been able to get it together. It's okay for fans to ask the questions amongst themselves, but it's NOT okay for a media guy to ask the question, especially in the manner he did, directly to the player! Yep .. Czabe should be fired! ADD: I too feel "dirty" after going to his website and reading his take on the "incident." The thing is, I used to expect it of him, but could somewhat tolerate him. Now, I just think he's a jackass who should be fired! Especially if he believes that he somehow had something to do with Gibbs pulling the trigger! What a self-absorbed youknowwhat!

ntotoro Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 It's this kind of blind ballwashing that will ensure Snyder never has to consistently put a winner on the field to make money... Is being a contrarian just for the sake of it so much better? Slingczabe is a bitter guy who can't get over that he got passed up for work at 730. He doesn't report fact and throws out zingers so his "company guys" with IQ's under 100 take them and run with them as if they're gospel. When was the last time he reported on anything going on at Redskins Park? When was the last time he was ever even there? When was the last time he actually gave an opinion or a solution instead of just another one of his zingers? His entertainment is for himself and his own company men. There's no shred of anything else to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get annoyed that the media doesn't ask tough questions to the players and coaches. They do ask. Don't get mad when you hear an answer you don't like, though. You think Coach Gibbs doesn't get asked about the QB? You honestly say you don't hear that or Coach Williams get asked about the Defense? It happens on a weekly basis the last month or so.

skins4eva Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 You guys are so hard on Czaban (how the the hell do you pronounce that btw?), and I don't understand why. Boonell is a big boy, he can take a reporter's questions. Are you guys concerned that Brunell might have had his feelings hurt? Give me a break. To me, Brunell was receiving the bulk of the criticism because the media in D.C. doesn't have the heart or the ability to ask the tough questions to Joe Gibbs. This was bound to happen sooner or later, a reporter was going to ask Brunell a question that made him bristle. Do I think it was a low blow? Maybe, but at the same time, he's a reporter and he's asking a legit question. I mean, part of the problem with Gibbs II is that no one seems to get fired up anymore. This team needs it badly.

Of course, we know that Gibbs is not the best judge of character when it comes to benching Mark Brunell. So ... because the coach made a bad decision regarding Brunell it's time to blindside Brunell? How does that make any sense? Did you miss Larry Brown #43's post inthis thread? (post #16, I believe.) It's not like the question hadn't been asked and addressed. This was something else. It was venting frustration. Real impressive journalism, that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodness gracious, why does everyone keep saying this? He has been asked about QB, Defense, Portis, Duckett, etcetera on a weekly basis. Don't get your panties in a ruffle if you dislike the answers he gives, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
