Rhodus333 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Ok, let me start by saying I love this show and watch it every day. His weekly meetings with zorn are insightful and really lend themselves to the honest and open atmosphere that I believe is making this season such a success. That being said, I cannot for the life of me figure out what the hell the source meter is. every day i spend 2 minutes being confused out of my mind wondering what the hell it is and why its been on "off the chart" for the whole season. I know this is going to be one of those smack myself in the face moments when I finally do figure it out, but please, someone help me out. The best i can figure is he's looking for unnamed sources regarding the team? and who the hell is the sourceror? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodus333 Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Is it like some sort of inside joke? Haha I don't freaking get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aireskoi Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Jason La Canfora (JLC) from the Washington Post is the Sorcerer. He seems to have unnamed "sources" way too often. Mostly he uses the sources to stir up trouble. He seems to hate the Redskins and loves the Ravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurd Cudins Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 The source meter has to do with Jason "The Penguin" La Canfora. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselfan44 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 The show is ok...I enjoy listening to Zorn and the players, but this source meter may be the dumbest thing I've ever seen. We should bombard LM with requests to remove it. I think it has to do with some gripe that he has with local media (WP). Some of the fan questions that he reads out loud are also beyond stupid.

mrredskinDgreen Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 It's a very odd segment. The only time I enjoyed it was when Larry called out JLC for trying to get the Vinny and the Skins in trouble and referred to JLC as "The Sourcerer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aireskoi Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I have never seen the show, I used to be a listener when they put the audio archives on Redskins.com. I miss the radio show, but it did get pretty lame when Bram left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glockypoo Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Its a completely unprofessional attempt by Larry to be funny. The segment fails miserably every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbleedBnG83 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 They give JLC too much attention. I like the show though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunClintonRun26 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 It's Snyders (and therefore Larrys) personal vendetta with JLC . . . Unfortunately, it started off as a joke in a way, but has evolved into an annoying and petty segment, as Larry has taken it way too far. I will try my hardest not to bash Larry (just because I can do that in all the other threads we have had devoted to his ineptitude . . . damn . . . couldn't resist), but he really needs to grow up on this one. The fact that Larry chooses to devote the time EVERY day to JLC shows that he is quite obsessed with him . . . Moreover, he needs to realize that his segment is 1. Ineffective in "protecting the team from sources.", 2. Downright stupid, 3. NOT enjoyed by the viewers. Let it go Larry . . . I know you read these messages. Let it go. I have made myself more than clear on my feelings towards you . . . but I'll put those aside for now and try to help you here - You continuing to do this foolishness makes people like you less and less . . . You are a grown man . . . And the fact that you sit there and act like a juvenile girl upset about a guy who has dumped her is more than odd. Realize that it WILL NOT stop JLC from writing his articles . . . You are not that important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 It's just another sad chapter of the petty feud between the team and the Washington Post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backpack3r Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I watch that show a lot, but I think the source meter is dumb, they should get rid of it. It literally adds nothing to the show, and has nothing to do with the Skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Pease Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I have never understood what the source meter is about and my big question is WHY? Saying and showing a graphic that has the source meter at some color (seems only Red or Yellow) has NO meaning whatsoever to me. Should I be alarmed when it is Red? Does it affect the Redskins team? So, the sourcer is JLC (whoever he is). I assume he is some media person. It sounds like he is someone who repeats (or makes up) some rumor about our Redskins organization. So I guess that he writes a gossip column or a tabloid piece. So, now that I know something about what it is, I still have the question of Why does Larry Michael care what he says? For me, I do not care. So I conclude that I think it is the stupidest part of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhodus333 Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Glad to see I'm not the only one who was confused by this haha. And yeah, I agree that he needs to answer some better fan questions, not just 7 different comments that all read "Hail to the redskins, Zorn's doing a great job" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLC is actually the Washington Post's main Redskins beat reporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
