GenMgr Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 http://www.profootballtalk.com/category/rumor-mill/ 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.

worstSeat Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Explains why he didn't seem exactly 100% Skins... seemed to be some unaccounted for hours in his days going a ways back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbleedBnG83 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 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.

Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Damn you. lol, what can i say? great minds think alike! 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.

Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 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.

Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 refresh my memory because im awaiting the flames, but can someone point me to a few examples as to why lacanfora was so terrible? just looking for 2 to 3 links and a one sentence explanation for each.
