Sports Illustrated is fishwrap
Here's a quick way to get a Redskins fan's hackles up: put Joe Gibbs in the same category as Albert Haynesworth and Matt Millen. Even the most pessimistic Redskins fan still has confidence in old Joe, even if we don't really get a chance to cash that confidence in until next season. If there's anything that makes me want to see the Redskins go out and kick the shit out of the Buccaneers this Sunday, it's stupid shit like this.
SI is running a piece right now called Ten NFL guys who need to get lost...now. Joe is listed at number 6 of ten, between Albert Haynesworth (stomped another player, creating a gushing wound requiring 40 stitches to close) and Olindo Mare (I confess I didn't really even know he was still in the league). Here's the text of what SI had to say about Joe:
His team did make the playoffs last year, but this doesn't appear to be a franchise headed toward the Super Bowl anytime soon. Don't be surprised if Gibbs leaves the team or joins its front office this offseason.Nashville police asked Andre Gurode if he wanted to press charges against Haynesworth. Randy Moss openly disrespects his coach and his team. Matt Millen's record as GM:
2001 2-14
2002 3-13
2003 5-11
2004 6-10
2005 5-11
2006 so far 2-7. Gibbs II worst season so far matches Millen's best season so far and I'll bet a bottle of bourbon with Mr. Mop if he's reading this that the Redskins finish better this year than the Lions. Jon Kitna makes Trent Dilfer look like Matt Hasselbeck.
Hey there SI: if you want to spotlight someone in the Redskins organization that needs to go, allow me to do the honors:
BTW, the Redskins got two in this list. Adam Archuleta is number 10. With the amount of money he makes, the team won't jettison Arch yet, they'll put him on the mentally unable to perform (MUP) list, try and get him to the level he was playing in St. Louis, then dump him after 2007 if he is still sucking.
