Hi from Redskins Park. Or maybe low would be the better way to put it. ESPN is here, already picking over the carcass. Fans are calling radio shows, bemoaning the coaching, the playing, and all things Redskin. Well, at least I have my health. Players will be available a little bit later and Jim Zorn holds his news conference a hair before 12:30 p.m. So we will see what they all have to offer. Me? I would like to see a little anger somewhere. If the Redskins don't know it -- and I don't know how they could not -- they are the NFL's new mullets. The slaps. The team to abuse. Is there no pride? No sense of what it means to be a part of this team? ... I drove in listening to Joe Theismann's radio show and I hate to bark up Joe's tree but he says this sort of performance should have been expected (1-2, a loss to Detroit???) because the Redskins are still building and are "a work in progress." Ah, no. Fifth-year QB. Old RB. O-line veteran, if not old, from LT to C. Vet TE. 12-year guy at MLB. DLs who creak. When the season began the Redskins had the OLDEST roster in the NFL, not the youngest. So I'm not buying what Joe is selling there. This team has enough veterans. What it lacks is heart, speed and quickness, not necessarily in that order but that's not a bad order to start with. ... Wow, you don't know whether to pour out your heart or your liver today. More bile later ...
majinajaxz 4 years ago | FlagPS will someone on this team please hold a players only meeting. One of the 6 captains needs to go home, watch Remember the Titans, and come demand a players only meeting. They are all shook and down right now. The difference
between a confident redskins and the redskins we saw the last 2 weeks, is a good 4 wins this season. I'm not giving up hope just yet.
majinajaxz 4 years ago | FlagI also agree with pretty much everything
Larry says. However, I am quite worried Danny boy does not, and he will throw down the axe at some point since he owns everything redskins related. There is a very basic concept missing from the Daniel Snyder era, and its that NFL games are won in the trenches. The ownership of this team has has always went for the big names, the Deon's, Portis, Hall, because they sell seats. Hall is explosive,
Deon danced around, and it made money. It didnt create winners. I think winners are developed within a winning organizati on, so we need to draft more on the lines. I liked Orakpo, I hope next year we get all O lineman with our 7 picks.
kent 4 years ago | FlagLarry, you keep writing because you always state what I feel and being a die hard fan for life, its nice to see someone know what to say and how to say it, in this year of our mourning. It is a sad time for all redskins fans and you always nail it and give us a sense that we are not alone.
You are the bright spot in this year of shame, as the die hard fans have someone who speaks and writes what we all feel and know and keeps us informed about what we should know.
I don't know who your boss is but please let me know as I want to thank them for hiring you. Through all my years of wanting my feelings expressed when our season looks bleak, you are by far the best sports writer when it comes to expressing what is happening and having the total knowledge of everything that is relevant and important. You don't miss any details and always nail it. Thank you for the job you do and keep it going! This is coming from a true die hard fan of 45 years.
PS please let me know who I can contact to express my appreciation for your hire.
mkd1202 4 years ago | FlagThis is INSANE!!!! Dan, if you read this, sell the team back to the Cook's or some one with half a brain about football....maybe the Kraft's? Since you've been here, we have seen nothing but constant turnover, consistently poor playing, ridiculous signings, horrendous hirings and outrageous ticket, food and parking prices! Dan, do you realize that kids who grew up after 92 have no seen a winning season in Washington for the Skins? Grant it, Jack died and you bought the team in 99. But you've had the team for 10 years now and you've had 6 head coaches (Norv Turner, Terry Robiskie, Marty Shottenheimer, Steve Spurrier, Joe Gibbs, Jim Zorn). Cook had 5 head coaches in 39 years of ownership.....is that any indication that shows you that you have no idea what the hell you're doing? Get out of town, you're ruining any chance we have at having a winning team. But keep it up, I'm sure your pocket book will be effected eventually.
$8 beers? $5 for a hotdog? $6 for fries? $100 for a ticket??? We are being robbed blind to see a high school team play??? We're paying REALLY good money to see a bunch of over paid do nothings....do nothing?? That $100 million on one guy, great idea buddy. Haynesworth is useless, our defense is in shambles, our offense is offensive (clever, I know). The only shining light is our kicker....our kicker for crying out loud.....that is INSANE!!!!!
Skins12thMan 4 years ago | FlagHey Larry I have the ANSWERS to what Uncle Dan is looking for. When he is ready to stop the BLEEDING please get in touch with me. This can all go away and we can get back on track. This all is my FAULT not anyone else's. Please get me in touch with Dan, I've tried but he must think I'm a crazy fan wanting free tickets or something.
This isn't what I seek, I can not set back and let MY TEAM fall apart. I have the Piece of the Puzzle that we are missing. Larry please forward to the right people. I'm not hard to find, I'm the Skins12thM an. I will wright the wrong....
