Come see the softer side of Snyder

No! Not that softer side!

I'm certain some of you have something to say on this topic.

Wow Danny boy actually said he mabe some mistakes in the past!!! Thing's are looking alot brighter boys!! Reading that was a breath of fresh air!!
I just hope it's not a bunch of lip service.. Time will tell. But at least Danny boy is trying!

HTTR!!!

I heard that whole interview on AM-980 and The Danny was very soft spoken. I was surprised myself. He sounded so relaxed and happy. Just goes to show how much of an effect Joe Gibbs has had on the organization as a whole.

I think the media has painted this picture that Snyder is a prick. He's made mistakes, but he recognizes them and it has made him a better owner/person.

Oh, please.He's good at marketing and that's exactly what he's doing. Marketing himself.

Why are you hating on The Danny?

Time will tell, but I'm glad that the Danny has at least begun to admit that he's made mistakes. Not that he's saying anything that the whole world didn't already know, but he's owning up to some of his mistakes and I'm sure that he'll be there to accept the praise when we start winning too.

aww c'mon guys. he said it himself, he's 'aging' ie. growing up.

Dan Snyder was the archetypical impatient rich kid if there ever was one. throwing money at problems, thinking big names is what it took. but wasnt he the youngest owner ever? i always just equated him to a rookie player. a rookie owner.

what was never in question was his dedication, and his checkbook and for that i could never dislike him. he WASNT a Jerry Jones (who is a fossil, whats his excuse?) or an Al Davis. he wasnt on sidelines every game imposing himself on the team or the fans. he was just young, rich and proud.

well after 5 years, he's been sufficiently humbled i'd say. going and paying for the Jets players instead of the big names and getting Gibbs and rightly backing off is the proof. took him a while, but i think he's learned and will continue to learn under (yes, i said UNDER) Gibbs. :thumb:

I think it's progress that he's actually speaking to the media! He may be, as saden1 intimated, simply marketing himself to a once-mutinous fanbase that he suspects could now be in a somewhat forgiving mood ("after all, he did bring Gibbs home, didn't he?"), but at least he's making an effort now to portray himself as a rational, thoughtful and conciliatory human being. That's a lot more than can be said for his public relations skills over the past few years.

I truly hope that Gibbs' unique charisma-- defined by graciousness, humility, and earnestness-- begins to rub off on Dan Snyder, and that Snyder has indeed learned from his past mistakes. If Snyder is willing to concede his own faults and errors, which he seems to be doing (for the moment, at least), and respect the lessons that can be learned from a masterful leader like Joe Gibbs, then there is hope for this franchise-- even beyond this second Gibbs era.

lol, if Spurrier was still in charge you'd still be ripping him from every angle. I love how the tone about our owner changes in just a few short months.

i'd be ripping someone too if i had to watch another year of good ole SS.
