Jim Zorn vs. The Reporter
D.C. Sports Bog —
Jim Zorn vs. The Reporter By now, you've perhaps seen Jim Zorn's, shall we say, "animated" post-game press conference. I wasn't in the press conference room, since I was in the locker room chasing down Clinton Portis to hear about that Zorn outburst ...
Speed Read: LaBelle Spell Can’t Quell Philadelphia
SPORTSbyBROOKS —
Philadelphia just can’t catch a break. First Game 3 was pushed back because of little black rain clouds and very very frightening thunderbolts of lightning, and the conclusion wasn’t until well after 2 a.m. EST. Sunday night’s Game 4, meanwhile, was delayed by Patti LaBelle’s 2-minute-28-second rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner.”
While jazz legend “Bleeding Gums” Murphy might be a fan of such renditions, ALLENTOWN MORNING CALL sports editor Keith Groller was soon pining for the Backstreet Boys’ version. Some did ...

Zorn’s Jim Mora Moment: ‘Are You OK?’
Mr. Irrelevant, a D.C. Sports Blog From the Brothers Mottram —
When the Skins are an unexpectedly good 6-2 team, the crazy shit like this that Zorn Star pulls is great. But how would it play if they were 2-6?
Of course, Zorn’s Jim Mora moment has nothing on Mike Singletary’s. Now that is what 2-6 looks like.
Redskins Coach Jim Zorn Tells Reporter: 'Don't Roll Your Eyes at Me, I'm Getting Ticked'
FanHouse —
Filed under: Redskins, NFL Media Watch, NFL VideoWashington Redskins coach Jim Zorn is a fairly even-tempered guy most of the time, but something about the way a reporter addressed him after Sunday's victory over the Detroit Lions put Zorn in a foul mood: "You keep rolling your eyes and I'm getting ticked off, and I think I'm answering your question," Zorn said to the reporter. "Are you OK? OK." So what happened between Zorn and the reporter? Dan Steinberg of the DC Sports Bog writes that it was a misunderstanding between Zorn and a Washington Times writer, who was ...
James Harrison, Pro Bowl Long Snapper
Heels, Sox & Steelers —
Okey doke, I just took a stroll through the game thread and the post-game comments were much more measure than I expected. Count me among those who are unconcerned -- that might've been the weirdest game at Heinz Field since the Tommy Maddox Era -- and Pittsburgh lost another two or five players in the process. I'll have more later, but for as bad as dropping that game to the Giants, this, assuming it's true, certainly helps keep it in perspective. Look at it this way: almost halfway through the toughest schedule EVA, the Steelers are 5-2 and leading the division. Could be worse, right Chad Javon Ocho Cinco?
Jim Zorn Press Conference: Do Not Roll Your Eyes At Me
FanIQ Blog —
NFL coaches were a little feisty on Sunday. OK, a lot feisty if you've seen Mike Singletary's gold medal winning rant.
Washington Redskins head coach Jim Zorn has his own moment yesterday after a 25-17 win in Detroit. Zorn was fielding questions from the Washington Times' Ryan O'Halloran and clearly the latter was unsatisfied with the former's responses.
"You keep rolling your eyes and I'm getting ticked off, and I think I'm answering your question," Zorn said to the reporter. "Are you OK? OK."
Agreed that Zorn would be a real treat if the ...
Sucked Into the NFL's Black Hole, Week 8
The Sporting Blog —
Everything on this planet is soon going to disappear into a massive black hole. Each Monday, we’ll present those football-related elements that have already been swallowed into the abyss.
Jim Zorn Staying Medium. The first year Redskins coach seems to live by his “stay medium” philosophy, which basically means that you don’t let yourself get too high or too low, too angry or too happy. During the post-game press conference yesterday, his medium went out the window: ...
Jim Zorn Makes Sure We’re All Okay
Stet Sports Blog —
Jim Zorn Makes Sure We’re All Okay For Joe Gibbs, it was quiet reflection. For Steve Spurrier, it was spiky sarcasm. For Norv Turner, it was bumbling. For Jim Zorn, it’s lectern-pounding medium-ness. But the important thing is that we’re all okay. With the exception of the lectern. Courtesy of the Brothers Mottram ...

Yep, Jim Zorn was in rare form after the Redskins win over the Lions yesterday afternoon, especially when he misunderstood an a question from Ryan O’Halloran of the Washington Times.
Take that shit back to your conservative bosses and ask them how it feels to suffer from the wrath of the Zorn! Continue after the jump for the rest of the untelevised exchange
Zorn: Seriously though, are you okay? We’ve all been a bit worried about you lately. Can I get you a glass of water or something to settle your nerves? I didn’t mean to lash out at ...

The Jim Zorn Effect
Stet Sports Blog —
The Jim Zorn Effect If you would’ve asked any Redskins fan at the midway mark of the 2007 NFL season who would be the team’s head coach in 2008, nobody would’ve guessed Jim Zorn. And no one in the NFL would’ve guessed that eight games into the 2008 NFL season, the Washington Redskins would be a contender for the NFC championship, have several Pro Bowl caliber players, and that the man who replaced Joe “Hard Fought” Gibbs would be the King of Coaching Sound Bytes. No profanity, no veins bulging out of his neck, just good old fashion cheers from World War II ...
Tuesday’s Leftovers
Riggo's Rag | A Washington Redskins Blog —
As we begin to digest week 8, let’s start by saying it feels good to be 6-2 at the midway point. In the back of our minds we have seen hot starts before (1996 and 2000 come to mind) , but something seems different this year, something special is going on with this team. Before we look forward to Monday nights big test against the Steelers let’s check out some leftovers from the weekend.
Can we now admit how big of an asset Chris Samuels is? Our line looked out of sync and sluggish against the Lions. We can all now take a deep breath, as it appears he will play Monday night.
Who’s the better #89? Steve ...
Zorn’s Zorn
postgameheroes.com —
Sackmaster Week 8: Steelers vs Giants | Home Zorn’s Zorn By Biggie, Resident Stat Boy | October 30, 2008 [image] [image] Zorn is a German surname that means “wrath”. If you want to know why, watch Zorn tear into Clinton Portis on the sideline. Or flip out on a reporter during the post-game press conference. This past Sunday in Detroit, Zorn showed a kind of fire and intensity that the Redskins haven’t seen out of a coach in a while. When Clinton Portis took himself out of the game because of an equipment issue and Jim Zorn didn’t know who was in at running back, he made damn well sure to find out – and Portis got chewed out. When Ryan O’Halloran rolled his ...
