Larry Michael

Hard to get off the Redskins these days.

Sitting here watching Larry Michael on Redskins Report.  Is there a bigger joker than this guy? He's answering fan mail right now.  Some points he's addressed:

1. Fan writes in and says he's "had enough" because the Redskins lost to one of the worst teams of all time.  Michael expresses utter shock and disgust that you could call the Lions one of the worst teams of all time.  His proof? "Who did the Lions have at quarterback last year?  And who do they have this year?  Ok then, I rest my case."  

2. Complimenting the 'Skins fans from the retirement home near Ashburn who put up some balloons and signs to encourage the team.  'Course, they have no photos of these decorations.  Second, they're in a retirement home.  Third, he calls them "real fans" and suggests the naysayers just "pretend" to be fans.

3. Mentions multiple times that there are still 13 games left on the schedule.  

Larry Michael is filled with the type of blind faith in the organization that comes when broadcasting that blind faith is the sole requirement of a job that nets you a sweet little six-figure salary each year.  Any real fan knows he can't be trusted, but lest the rest of you see him or hear him and get the wrong idea, I wanted to make things clear.  This man is not a journalist.  He is a highly paid employee of the Washington Redskins, who these days rival the Muammar al-Gaddafi regime for absurd propaganda.  

I'm curious to hear if people think they can beat the previously-woeful Bucs at home on Sunday.
