10 Years of Snyder-AP Interview

A pretty decent read, nothing too revealing but it's a look at Dan that we don't usually see. It's pretty commonplace to bash him nationally and locally for some of his early mistakes but a true look at his tenure displays some progress.

AP INTERVIEW: Snyder on 10 years as owner - NFL - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=txtenyearsofsnyder&prov=st&type=lgns)

Geez, Snyder is only 2 years older than me... Man for all the mistakes I made over the past 10 years, I can't imagine if I had been running the Skins too. Granted, I am not Snyder, but at 34, that's incredibly young to be the owner of such a team. Even more reason to believe its gonna get better.

I thought this was an awesome read. I'm glad he seems to be maturing some, I hope that comes through with the decisions he makes in regards to the Skins...as in, "don't fire Zorn if this season isn't a trip to the NFC Championship game."

Is it just me or does a piece like this come out every summer around this time??

Also, didn't we just try and trade the house and kitchen sink for Jay Cutler? I don't think he learned that from Gibbs. Every time you buy into the Snyder has changed line you wake up to read about us trying to trade two number one picks for Chad Johnson, or something else crazy. So I'm not convinced he's learned his lesson completely.

Not with Dan actually sitting down with the press, he's been hiding from them because most of them bash him. So it's nice to hear from him a little bit.

Bit in the end it's a lot of fluff. Bring on the games already.

I feel like that for a lot of articles and quotes.

It was decent article but it was just noise nothing behind it. Did you expect him to say he has not learned anything in the last ten years?

I think DS is a good owner but I still beleive he puts making money ahead of winning. Each year he makes a flashy free agent signing drums up huge amounts of "hope" in the fans and then collects his wins ($$$). Probaly true for 100% of professional sports but Danny is one of the best at it.

He does an interview every year around this time I swear, I'll dig for last year's version.

Edit - here's one:

Meh, there's a lot more lucrative businesses out there. If he was in it just for the money he wouldn't be running a NFL team, and he certainly wouldn't spend money the way he does.

I think his last interview was in early April with Doc Walker (and Cerrato) to talk about the past off-season and the upcoming draft. He never (or very very rarely) speaks during the season but the off-season is different.

I think the perception of him is far from the reality. And he's undoubtedly grown as an owner and as a person in the past decade.
