The Diehard Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 :puke: Wilbon is the biggest joke going when I talk to ANYONE that knows anything about sports and reads the Post. I watch him and Tony while I work out at the "Y" and can't believe the nonsense they spew about sports. They are like a sports "reality" show. And what about Tony's combover - give me a break. These two guys are losers and I could care less about what they say about the Skins. I listen to Merrill Hoge and Sean Salisbury - these guys know what they are talking about and love the decisions the skins have made and are 100% behind the Portis trade. Guys - this week sucked but we are going to make some other teams week suck as much. Let's let Joe "coach em' up" this week and se what happen's next week!!

TimFolk Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I thought Wilbon liked the skins? Tony is just pissed cuss his boyfreind SoS failed in DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 you may not like them but tony and mike talk to everyone on their show, heck jaws was a regular there is a reason why tony used to get the best people on his radio show (hopefully it will be back soon) and now on PTI, they are respected and know more then your buddies at the Y :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpskins Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Gotta disagree with you here. I actually rather like Wilbon. Now Kornheiser on the other hand, he hasn't written anything worthwhile in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsLegacy44 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Dude, I think Wilbon & Korny are hilarious and very knowledgable. PTI has done great with a national audience. They may not be as thorough as the Redskins Report, but then again they are covering many different sports and events. Wilbon is a great writer, and a good debater.

The Diehard Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 I stick to my stance on Wilbon and Kornheiser and my buddies at the "Y" are there to work out not to listen to these guys. I also listen to Golic on the Mike and Mike show and he likes what the skins are doing. Wilbon and Tony are bandwagon guys - anything for the ratings. C'mon you guys - you can do better!!

joeymag Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Tony and Mike know football but more importantly they completely understand DC and how the fans interact with the teams. Salisbury Steak and the rest of the ESPN folks who "break it down for you" - rarely give any real insight into the game. They are just part of the ESPN hype machine. Your team wins one week they are gods, they lose the next they are bums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you live in PA then I assume you don't see the local redskins report with Wilbon then, he is pretty good on that with Riggo and George Michael.

RaleighSkinsMann Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 wilbon and tony are awesome ...i like them in just about everything ive seen them in...especially when wilbon chewed pastabelly a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Diehard Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 jbooma - my point is that Wilbon is a notorius Bears fan and Chicago supporter and I don't care what he thinks about a team that he is PAID to cover or report on. Now Riggo and the Comcast guys (Doc Walker, Donnie Warren, Tre' and the rest) are different. Wilbon is interested in Wilbon - and that's the truth, deal with it.

The Diehard Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 and the fact that I live in Pa has nothing to do with it. I live in the middle of Eagles, Steelers, and Ravens country and support the skins 100% - not as easy as you boys in DC have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostRider Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Well I think you and your friends at the "Y" are gay lovers. You and your "friends" are obviously new to the area but I hope after a long day of working out a barbell lands on top of your head and you realize how stupid your post was.

Wilbon has said again and again that the Redskins are not his team. His team will always be the Bears because that's his childhood team, I respect that. He's also not paid to only cover the Redskins but since he works for the Washington Post he writes a lot of stuff about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soliloquy Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Originally posted by JoeSkins I'll tell you who i don't like.....Joe Buck. I thought the Buck and Leon commercial was pretty funny, though! :laugh: Buck's not too bad as long as he stick to play-by-play. He really stumbles when he tries to help out with the color commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte51Coleman Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Wilbon is as far from a "bandwagon guy" as you can get! Unless the bandwagon is in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true, when I was a kid I never understood why every other article in the Post sports section was about Michael Jordan. He's a huge Chicago fan, but I still respect him and he knows a lot about sports and is a great writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rook Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I like the "old guy" and Wilbon. PTI is "must see" TV for me. I consider them part of the Entertainment of E.S.P.N. Its more editorial than analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mookie0720 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Some people on this board flip flop, and only like whatever columnists, analysts, or commentators that compliment the Redskins. Anytime a guy writes anything bad about the Redskins, there are people here who automatically hate him. Stop being such homers, Wilbon and Kornheiser are obviously more knowledgeable than any of us that's why they have their own TV shows and are celebrities throughout the country. Also they bring a certain chemistry to the table when they are together that brings some laughs. Lighten up, every single person who says something not 100% complimentary of the Redskins isn't a trader, and isn't an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
