CNN is showing Joe Gibbs return press conference live?

[mouse7]

Okay... I grew up a Skins fan. I had arguments in school preferring defending Sonny over Billy. I go WAY back here. Gibbs return is a great thing for the team.

But what in the world is CNN doing covering his return live? I was actually going to glance at the schedule and see if ESPNNews would be covering the press conference. That seems an appropriate place to find the coverage.

But CNN? Another chopper just crashed in Iraq. 8 more US troops dead. CNN has nothing better to cover than Joe Gibbs return?

1. Well, would you rather watch that

or watch Joe Lieberman lick Bushs boots? Say YeeHaw Joe.

[loudnclear]

2. Better than reporting on our killed in action in Iraq

The media whoring continues....

3. Good news out of Washington is all-too-rare these days...

On balance, I guess it's better for CNN to have Joe Gibbs on saying concrete things about what he'll do for the 'Skins than for them to have Dub on spouting incoherrencies about what he WON'T do for "guest workers"! :eyes:

5. 4 superbowls - winning 3 - in 12 seasons - but all I remember are the 8

non-superbowl seasons!

nothing against Joe - I guess I am just not a fan of football!

I knew a very nice "pro football cheerleader" working in an actuarial dept that went on to head a major pension services area in Baltimore who thought Joe Gibbs - and pro football in general - were great. But I never got excited about it.

6. In related news, Gibbs return causes Cowboys owner to snap

"RANGER, Ga., Jan. 8 — Four people — including a 10-month-old baby — were found shot to death early Thursday in two homes in northwest Georgia, and three young girls were missing and feared kidnapped.

Gordon County Sheriff's spokesman Clent Harris said an arrest warrant for suspicion of murder had been issued for Jerry William Jones..."

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones found out Joe Gibbs was returning. He knew that meant the Cowboys were headed back to mediocrity. It was too much for Jerry Jones massive ego to handle, and he exploded and a homicidal rampage.

12. sorry, can't find humor in the deaths

14. Mediocrity would be an improvement after last Saturday night

The Cowboys got their asses handed to them by the Panthers. Cowboys fans would enjoy an upgrade from "fuckin' awful" to just mediocre.

8. Isn't gibbs a major fundie?

I seem to remember this and, if it's true, I will hate the Washington team even more than growing up in Philadelphia necessitated.

9. Non-sequitur: Isn't Joe Gibbs a Repug???

Wonder if he supports the war?

Great coach though... :shrug:

10. Ted Koppel asked Colin Powell about Gibbs

it was really odd, even Powell said, very politely, that his area was foreign policy, not football.

13. Ah that Koppel, what a journalist!

11. CNN is just following the New Political Correctness

Must cover for the Emperor*. Must limit and pre-empt, wherever possible information which makes Der Fuhrer* look bad.
