The Post's Waste of Space

While I'm ranting about sports, I'm going to call out Sally Jenkins...AGAIN. The Washington Post's resident shitty sports columnist only seems to write columns worth reading when she tackles off-the-field sports issues.

Take the Redskins, who under Joe Gibbs are actually starting a season well for the first time in years. Three of her four Redskins columns have been written after Redskins losses -- and the fourth told the story of a bitter former Redskin itching to play his old team. See for yourself: her most recent 4 columns are all on the Redksins, and she somehow manages not to write a single positive paragraph despite the fact that the 'Skins have thus far defied most experts' predictions that they were too untalented to win tough games this season. You'd think that in a season in which the area's favorite team has so obviously turned a corner, every local columnist must be able to fixate on at least one consistently positive aspect of that team. Alas, you'd be wrong.

Jenkins is like Len Pasquarelli, only less talented, less informed -- and she actually writes for the paper that covers the home team. She sounds almost as spiteful, and seems to carry the same anti-Snyder bias. I just wish she'd stop being so pathetically predictable, and that she'd learn how to actually cover on-field events.

Or maybe I just wish she wasn't the Harriet Miers of the Post's sports section.
