[Chron.com] Strength Coach Riley and Trainer Bastin Not Offered New Contracts

[Mike]

Per PFT.COM there is an article that indicates the Strength/Conditioning coaches from Denver are rumored to be staying in Denver.

Little Richie hatchetman from the local fishwrap wrote an article (I only read a little until I could not stand his slanted spin) saying that it was a personal reason Riley was fired (Smith V. Riley). He probably wants us to inquire if "fat dog" I mean "mad dog" from the flagship state U is available. My trainer has muscles that have muscle. Mad dog has a kegger under his xxxxxl shirt.

I think Richie writes while getting a rectal exam w/o lubricant. He is a very bitter man. I think he needs a hug, or better yet, Jesus.

Kubes IMO deserves our trust. He seems to be able to upgrade the staff when people leave. I.E. Gibbs, Rhodes. I am going to trust that he is again going to get a good strength guy.

Richard seems upset to be losing all of his former Redskins contacts from within the organization. There are fewer people on Bob McNair's payroll willing to talk to the Chronicle every day, and that makes Richard a very surly person.

It is a peculiar dynamic for us to witness. Richard has basically labeled Kubiak to be a clueless dolt and Rick Smith to be a creep. If Richard was smart, he'd quit taking these calls from Charley Casserly.

I did not think of that slant. He is probably pissed because he has to work instead of having stories handed to him. So much for unbiased journalism. I wish 1560 would dump him, he adds absolutely nothing to that station.

Josh and Papa - great points as well.

McClain gets on my nerves...but he's a little like some crazy relative you met at a family reunion when you were 13. As long as you'll sit there and listen to his stories from the good'ole days he will slip you a beer and tell you a dirty joke. Justice is really the only one on the chronicle staff that I despise. He never adds any kind of analysis. A lot of his articles seem to based on past personal grudges, and or just cheap attempts to piss people off to drive comments. I blame ESPN and shows like around the horn.

I read it and thought it was crap. I have no idea if the guys were good at their job or not. I still don't. If Richard wanted to attack their firing then he should have gotten some better arguments behind it than 20 years ago his methods were revolutionary in the NFL and I don't like Richard Smith. The whole thing sounded like a whining kid or a bitter divorcee.

The whole article had style that was highly reminiscent of an old poster from the HPF days. I won't say his name, but I'm sure some of you remember a certain someone's personal vendetta against Smith.

Also reminded me of Justice's article at the beginning of the season attacking Gibbs because he yells a lot. Come to find out, he has had a grudge against Gibbs for over a decade because Gibbs gave him the cold shoulder once. He clearly wanted to write an article disparaging Gibbs and the "he screams and yells too much" was the only angle he could come up with. This has that feel as well.
