Chris Cooley is Honest About OTAs

A longtime Redskins reporter was musing the other day about OTA's in the glory years, when just two or three reporters actually covered the team, and they'd occasionally agree to blow off "activities" on the same day, since if they weren't there, by definition no news was happening. And really, football players running around for 90 minutes a day while not wearing football pads, two months before their month-long preseason begins, would not immediately scream "NEWS!" But once we all agree it's important, then it sort of becomes important, which is the reason there has been this progression of LaRon Landry's missing!1!!1!!!1! stories. Mister Irrelevant has a rundown of the crisis, and even when you can step back and say "a guy not attending a voluntary activity isn't even one day worth of news, much less five," you still wind up being the jackal asking about Landry's absence on Day
