Soup Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Listening to 980 a beat reporter for ESPN 980, said the redskins handed out rules for the media. Couple of the rules are: -No tweeting/blogging about practice or during practice -No media member is allowed to write about rumors that are not backed by actual facts. The other part I found interesting was Shanny mentioning he is overwhelmed by the media coverage here with the redskins. He mentioned devner was nothing like it is here. [The beat reporter said ] I don't know how he'll enforce the rules, what do you guys think?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOSS89 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Three rules: 1. Not allowed to tweet during practice. 2. Not allowed to blog during practice. 3. Not allowed to report anything involving rumors and/or speculation without a source. Didn't get the details of the rules but I'm sure Shanny will address it after practice.

authentic Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 3. Not allowed to report anything involving rumors and/or speculation without a source. BTW, I guess Jason Reid will be out of a job very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I like the practice tweets ban. No matter how much they make our days go by faster, Shanny has been getting more and more pissed about formation sub leaks, etc. Can he actually do all of this, though? I hope so. The more secrecy, the better. I don't care how bored I am from Tuesday to Saturday, as long as we kick ass on Sundays and Mondays. And really, who needs more trade rumors anyways?

Bzapf Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Fine by me. But the Redskins mediots are already a whiny bunch, especially on twitter. Expect some serious anger from all of the local media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMOSS89 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 It was said that reporters this morning were furious (obviously). Also, that Shanny is overwhelmed with Washington media vs what he had in Denver. Welcome to DC, Shanny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBnotBlades Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Good for him. The local media has just been stirring the pot with vague rumors for a while now. The lazy journalism has been aggravating me for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Sure he can do it. Tweet during practice and you can't watch practice any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 This is awesome. So what if they break a rule? Are they forbidden from media sessions at the park? Guess we'll find out later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mediots brough that on themselves. Like when someone tweeted about defensive formations. (C. Wilson at the nose). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsHokieFan Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I am fine with 1 and 2. But number 3? Not report on any rumors? Really? Seriously? Loverro just about had a heart attack when he heard that. Gauldi, Sheehan and Loverro were just laughing hysterically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Even if he can't legally do it by NFL rules, media outlets are going to want to comply with any "rules", just because of the backlash from the team and subsequently fans(viewers).

SlobberKnockinFootball Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 It's about damn time someone reigned in the media on this team. No more Jason LaConfora BS of throwing stuff up against the wall and hoping it sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
