Over at the always entertaining D.C. Sports Bog, Washingtonpost.com's Dan Steinberg chronicles the reasons why Jim Fassel feels he didn't get the Redskins job. Primary among them is the presence of bloggers. "When I got the New York Giants job I remember telling my family that, 'You know, you cannot hold the lead in these jobs in major markets,'" Fassel told the John Thompson Show on Sports Talk 980 in Washington. "Because you've got bloggers, and they're saying, 'No, this isn't the right guy, and that ain't the right guy,' and you can't hold the lead, because you are going to take the hit. I mean, when you're the lead dog, you're going to take the hit." In a nutshell, look at it like this: Fassel believes that the length of the coaching search, and his early entry as a name into it, opened his candidacy to criticism. But if that's the case, wouldn't it be fair to blame the Redskins themselves for waffling? Or maybe the deliberate nature of the search should've told Fassel from the beginning that the Redskins were never sold on him. Or how about this -- if the Redskins are really listening to/reading all this stuff, and using it as another advisor in the search, aren't they going about it the wrong way anyway? Bottom line: If Fassel's right, then that club needs to seriously evaluate the way it's doing business. I'm off to check if Timmy Tabloid was hurt by these comments, and we'll see if we can get a response posted by him ASAP. |

Who the *bleep* cares about Jim Fassel? How about doing some real reporting and stop letting your competition (DallasCowboys.com) get the jump on you for all the best stories. You know maybe how a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader made the cover of the SI Swimsuit.
Albert, I know that you're gay for Tom Brady but you could at least do us straight Cowboys fans and put up some pics of the DCCs that made it. Maybe even interview them to see how they enjoyed the experience. We know that they'll open up to you since you're gay and no threat to hit on them. And you wouldn't put your buddy Tim's marriage on the line.

Breer - You didn't realize that the skins are a dysfunctional organization? Snyder is like the kid in class who wants everybody to like him.
Snyder and Vinny make you think why the Three Stooges ever needed three to begin with.

What's wrong with you guys? The Redskins are a hated division rival and this is a perfectly relevant post for this blog!
Stop the hatin'!

I agree with Jayzee. The only thing this blog should ban is the woman who posts as Redskins_Rule. She is dating Timmy Mac and is always talking about the Cowboys faults instead of looking at how bad her Redskins stink. Good Luck with Zorn idiot.
