Of Underachieving, Yet Overly Entertaining WRs

Michael David Smith at the FanHouse brought to light the typewritten slapfest going on at the WA Post between DC Sports Bog's Dan Steinberg and the paper's 'Skins "insider" Jason La Canfora.

After a spar that was more "Is Brandon Lloyd a bust?" than the hyped New Media v. Old Media (though both make sure to back their respective genres), Steinberg conceded:

Brandon Lloyd is at once a Communist, a Fascist, a Wiccan, a Unitarian, a Right Wing Fundamentalist, an Eco-Terrorist, a Maoist with High Cholesterol, a Labor Unionist, a Trotskyist Fellow Traveler, a Vegan Radical, a McCarthyist Book Burner and the local cable company employee who does not care about your service problems.

More importantly, I think Steinberg, La Canfora and Smith, alike, acknowledge just how underachieving the free agent acquisition has been. I just happen to side with Steinberg, who thinks that, after all, football is a game and is meant to be entertaining. At the very least, enjoy the characters and hope they come through.

Because, before you know it, they will be MIA.
