Interesting piece on the battles between the Washington Post and the Washington Redskins. But my real interest is in these two facts the piece reveals:
– The official spokesperson for the Redskins is based in Los Angeles.
– Sally Jenkins, one of the Post’s sports columnists, is based in New York.
So if the Washington Post’s sports columnists wants an official comment from the Washington Redskins, she calls a guy in California from Manhattan.
Strange.
I’m trying to think of what the local equivalent would be: The Dallas Morning News’ top sports columnist being based in Miami and the Cowboys’ chief spokesman being based in Seattle, I guess.
While you’re contemplating that one, here’s an MP3 of Clem Snide segueing from “Moment in the Sun” to a cover of the Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”
