I didn't see this posted. My apologies if it's a duplicate.

He's going to play funeral music 24/7 in "honor" of the Redskins...

Very sad Classical Music Ping List ping.

If you want on or off this list, let me know via FR e-mail.

I'm turning in my Redskins fan card.

I have known Joe Gibbs for way over 50 years. Everything that he has touched has turned to gold in the past. I just can't imagine what has happened to the Midas touch!

Thank you Bill Parcells, you're too obvious.

MAN!! It was bad enough when WFLN out of Philly changed formats when I was younger. Now, they're going to take away WGMS away from me!?

[mkjessup]

Keep the faith baby. Gibbs ain't done yet.

[Red Badger]

Well the Cowboys could use a few new fans...........especially after last night's game......

Try www.sky.fm for your classical music. You can listen free or buy a membership. I pick smooth jazz on the site but classical is one of the offerings.

You can get all the classical music you want on your NPR stations that are so prevalent in DC or you can sign up for satellite radio or just listen to your dozens of classical music CDs.

Snyder happened.

I don't know what exactly going here but, I think his Midas Touch now turns everything into a rusty muffler.

Dear mariabush,

The Boy has done poorly with several coaches.

Folks figured, if he can't win with Mr. Gibbs at the helm, then it may be time to fire the owner.

If only...

I truly believe once you leave coaching you need to stay gone. I lived in DC during Coach Gibb's reign and he is a class act (even though I was most definitely NOT a 'skins fan) but I think he needs to go back to NASCAR fulltime....btw, my Saints kicked a$$ last night!

[Fairview]

What does he want with the radio station? My goodness, there are other radio stations, if he craves one. Why buy the only one that doesn't shove NPR down your throat, and then turn it to hip-hop or some other garbage?

Dear rabidralph,

I don't listen to stations that play NPR. I don't know what stations in the Washington region play NPR or are part of PBS. However, I've read that the last public station to have a part-time classical format dropped it late last year.

I have XM radio in the car, but frankly, adding subscriptions for the home and office make it a bit expensive so that I can choose between two instrumental channels and one opera channel.

Dear Fairview,

He needs a station with a strong signal to add to his sports radio network.

BS. Thats the last one in an area that serves almost 4 million people.

Thats just what we need; another insipid sports talk radio station. Great.

It's not Gibbs, it's the players. Or maybe more aptly now, the 'Employees'.

People like Gibbs or 'Da Coach' Ditka can't communicate with these pampered millionaires who 'play' football more as a hobby now. It's all about them and their individual stats - always looking ahead to that next contract.

I'm surprised Parcells is doing as good as he is in Dallas, especially with that psycho TO there.

We are getting old, Joe probably just needs to go home to Pat and the grandchildren.
