If the Skins had as many touchdowns versus as many "you knows" in sideline interviews, we would be Super Bowl champs at this point.
You know?
Well in fact I don't know, explain brotherman.
You know, if we scored more points then them, we would have won. You know.
Oops, forgot to thank the Lord Jesus Christ our savior, Amen.
Don't get me wrong. I love my Skins. But "you know" I would love to have a
dollar for every "you know" that I hear from the brothers in sideline/locker room interviews. And just to think, they "graduated" from great universities from across this great land of ours and are making millions, you know?
Just my rant, you know?
At the end of the day, this is professional football and we have a lot of people who fit that model; they get paid to play football and the canned responses are part of that. You're supposed to say all that stuff so that you don't say what you're really thinking; "Who cares? We're getting paid either way."
I mean, name a team, a successful team, and then think about that team and what are the first things that come to mind?
Steelers; Ben, Hines, Troy, the incredible linebackers, yellow towels, good teams year after year after year
Pats; Brady, Moss, Wes, the fast break offense, really good defense, Bill. Letting go of star players who want lots of money, getting good players who want to be part of a winner
Indy; Peyton, the WR's, Bob Sanders, Dungee, now gone.
Philly; Reid, McNabb, Westbrook, good defense every year
Cards; New at this, Warner, Boldin, Fitzgerald, explosive defense. Wisenhunt (ex of the Steelers)
Ravens; Ray Lewis and defense.
Redskins?
They all have more to talk about than Redskin players tend to because they have more going on besides getting paid to be there.
I'm just frustrated right now because Pete is dead on; New Campbell same as the old Campbell. Another new big star on the team, still no readily identifiable core. Smug young punks that flick the ball 20 yards after making what for most people is a routine play, Kelly, which is going to cost a delay at some point. Devin Thomas trying to pretend he's mature and THE man. People who get hit in the hands and don't make the INT even though it may well be the difference between making a team or not.
Who are we? What are we? A collection of individuals. Not a team. And it ain't the players fault.
