NFLN Adds Another Insider

Posted by Mike Florio on May 28, 2009, 3:12 p.m.

Redskins beat writer Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post is heading the Network, a source with knowledge of the situation tells us.

La Canfora will join a stable of NFL reporters that has been filling the shoes previously occupied by Adam Schefter.

Schefter, though still technically employed by NFLN, will be moving to ESPN after his contract expires in August.

Because the network is owned by the league, it’s essentially owned in equally-sized 1/32nd chunks by the teams. And so, in a roundabout way, La Canfora will be working for the franchise whose Executive V.P. of Football Operations he accused of slander last year.

“He is a making a mockery of fact and reality and trying to play people for fools,” La Canfora wrote in an e-mail regarding a dispute with Vinny Cerrato over the question of whether his comments about former Raiders coach Lane Kiffin constituted tampering.

“It’s [a] pathetic attempt to slander me,” La Canfora said, ”but not surprising in the least given who it is coming from.”

So now La Canfora and Cerrato are, in a weird sort of way, colleagues.

I think it is what it means! Thank God! Although, now he'll bash the Skins on the NFL Network.

Like the article says, the Redskins have a stake in the NFLN, so he can't get too crazy as the organization will have some say in what gets displayed and how their teams gets displayed.

lol, what can i say? great minds think alike! :cheers:

but were both right, you know whoever it is, the second he doesnt drool all over the first redskins 13 point performance he'll be labeled a hater who just wants to go network.

Yep, that's exactly why people here don't like him.

:doh:

Yeah, because we all know JLC did absolutely nothing to warrant criticism over.

he was nowhere near as bad as 70% of this board made him out to be. he just wasnt a homer, and some people dont like that. they want the larry michael news report, not a sarcastic sometimes demeaning one.

but im sticking to my statement, if hes not a homer, a lot of people will complain.

And 70% of the people here who criticized JLC did not do so for anywhere near the simplistic reasons you are giving...

I'm glad you said this. It saved me from typing it.

They love the Larry Michael Burgundy & Gold Propaganda Machine.

Whatever JLC's shortcomings were as a reporter, I find Larry Michaels 100x more annoying.

i have trouble listening to larry michael speak. its that painful. i bring it up all the time, but his reasoning on why he'd rather have jason campbell over peyton manning was because "peyton manning is due for an injury".

i know hes paid to be a homer, i didnt know he was paid to be dumb.
