Still, I am going to buy this book tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Sally Jenkins is one of the most formidable sportswriters in this great land of ours; her work for The Washington Post won her the Associated Press' Sports Columnist Of The Year award, which is a real award and actually kind of esteemed, if you can believe that. :puke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raub Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I live about 5 miles or so from the War College, and have jogged around the track that surrounds that football field. There's also a graveyard just inside the gate for the Native Americans who died there. Sounds like a very interesting book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinDan0557 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Sally Jenkins is a tool. Another reporter that covers the skins that shouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Sally Jenkins lives in Giants territory BTW and has had quite a few negative things to say about the Redskins over the years. Her old man though, he was a real sports writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baculus Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 This may be an interesting book, but I freaking can't stand Sally Jenkins, and she is one of my least favorite journalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 This may be an interesting book, but I freaking can't stand Sally Jenkins, and she is one of my least favorite journalists. I'm torn on her. I think he is a great writer with lousy opinions. The book sounds fascinating though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She may be a fantastic writer, but I have to admit that her 'Skins articles are what formed the basis for my negative opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMetal Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 She is a harpy and a hack. Her prose sucks and she blatantly grinds personal axes in every hatchet job article she runs on the Skins. She doesn't deserve one iota of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 I finally read this book this week (I always have sixteen books to read at any given time). It's excellent though it is not exactly what I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
