This argument over who deserved the money was punctuated when Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, who controls one of the league's richest teams, said he was ready to help any team in a bad circumstance but then turned toward Brown and said, ''But if someone has a publicly funded stadium they pay $1 a year for with no operating costs, I'm not helping that person."

Snyder then looked at Michael Bidwell, son of the Cardinals' longtime owner, and snapped, ''If you have a publicly funded stadium in a great market and charge $10 a game for season tickets in the upper deck, I'm sorry sir, I'm not going to help you."

what a stud...we all know hes a jerk, but the guy knows how to run a bussiness....maybe the cards can raise their prices, with james coming in, it wouldnt suprise me if theyre offense stayed atop the NFL.

he wasn't being a jerk, he was being blunt and honest. That's part of why he's well off now, cause he doesn't throw money away or walk on egg shells.

good article, thanks.

Can't you just picture Snyder in the room? It's his turn to speak and you hear the slow thump of a bass drum in the background, and then all of a sudden he hits you with:

If it was up to me you muthaf*ckas would stop comin up to me wit your hands out lookin up to me, like you want somethin free. When the last CBA was up you wasn't bumpin me! But now that I got this huge company, everybody wanna come to me like it was some disease, but you won't get a crumb from me, cause I'm from the streets of BETHESDA!

Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got somethin to say, but nothin comes out when they move their lips just a bunch of jibberish, and mothaf*ckas act like they forgot about SnyD!

haha, that actually fit pretty well

thatguy,i couldnt have agreed with you more.how about people like the bidwells trying to run their team like a business and not just sitting back and letting people like the jones' and the snyders' do all the bull work and go the extra mile to make more money
