#redskins Regardless of all the noise, the Redskins (players) have a financial responsibility to play at a higher level. On 2:23 PM Oct 15th 2009 from web

Larry is right.  The Redskins players owe the fans to continue putting out an effort, despite what looks to be a lost season.

Unforunately, that’s  no way to inspire players to play well on the football field.  And if Zorn is using that for his motivational speech, it’s not going to go well.  Besides, if that method did work, Daniel Snyder would be the best owner in the league instead of the worst.

But Larry Brown may not have been paying much attention to this year’s football.  He just noticed this yesterday:

#redskins The airwaves have turned quite negative today, I hope the Redskins are listening. On 9:31 PM Oct 14th 2009 from web

It’s been negative for a long time, Larry.  I would say since 1999.
