hail2skins Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Apparently there was a story making the rounds that Dan Snyder appeared on a Sirius show and said that the during the draft the Skins were thinking about trading down from #16 with Pittsburgh, but the deal fell through (some think it happened when Pouncey went at #15). Anyway, Peter King had this is his column today, but then apparently both Tony Wyllie and Bruce Allen have denied that Snyder has appeared on any radio show since Super Bowl week. The section in King's column is now underlined over, pending him getting info from the Steelers: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/peter_king/05/15/mmqb/1.html Honestly, how hard is it for someone to verify the simple fact (or lack thereof) of Snyder appearing on a radio show before this stuff hits the rounds?

Genghis Khan Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 What difference would it make if it were true. It didn't happen. This is Peter King sitting around the house with nothing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan4128 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Peter King is an idiot whose bias against the Skins is well documented! Nothing to see here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I see Peter Queen is up to his usual BS. Monday Morning QB should be retitled NFL Gossip Column. He should focus on what he does best: critiquing coffee and airport amentities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drkstar Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 in today's world, there has got to be a recording/podcast etc of any interview completed on sirius so what does the lazy reporter from CNN/SI do? nothing. he reports it and then has to back out of the report after his editors put it up on the web page once Bruce Allen is finally contacted and confirms the interview never happened I normally dont agree with most around here about the national media being lazy but this takes the cake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshow24 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 He should focus on what he does best: critiquing coffee and airport amentities! Senator Larry Craig is NOT an airport amenity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible_Red40 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 And the first part of his column says he's sports writer of the year, LOL.. So he has since taken it off the board... After writing the above early Monday morning, I heard from Redskins general manager Bruce Allen. He denied the original report and said the Steelers never called about the pick. Steelers GM Kevin Colbert, through a spokesperson, corroborated Allen's denial and said talks didn't take place. Also, the writer who first reported the non-trade has issued an apology.

Voice_of_Reason Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Peter King to CNN/SI Intern Schlub: "Hey, I heard that there was an inerview on Sirius Radio that Dan Snyder did. Somebody reported it, and I want to steal the story. Can you please verify? Thanks." Intern, after doing a google search: "Sorry, Mr. King. I can't find record of it anywhere." Peter King Option 1: Ok, maybe I'll just pass on this hear-say.... Peter King Option 2: Damn You! You can't do research! I have it on good authority that there was an interview, and furthermore, I have a point to make, so I want to write it! Get OUT! You useless intern! (Writes story, ends up eating it.)

c4man5282 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Rich_Tandler Rich Tandler Re the report of #Redskins-#Steelers trade--According to SirisusXM media relations, Dan Snyder did not appear on their station since draft. https://twitter.com/#!/Rich_Tandler/status/69752089592606720 Rich_Tandler Rich Tandler Therefore, Snyder could not have been discussing what trades did/didn't happen during the draft as reported. https://twitter.com/#!/Rich_Tandler/status/69752347705884673 He posted these on the 15th when this report originally came out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
