Matt Taibbi on Dan Snyder

Good point. I however was pointing out the Al Davis of now....not yesteryear. It's obvious that Snyder never had nor will have a "yesteryear"

Agreed, Taibbi is usually over the top, he referred to Goldman Sachs as 'A Giant Vampire Squid sucking on the face of Humanity', so it's more for entertainment purposes than insight. I also just think it's amazing how quickly our team's struggles have crept into pop culture

I don't understand. What's over the top about that?

I renamed my fantasy team from "HaynesworthStompsGurode" to "East Coast Al Davis"

Yeah decent read, a bit over the top though and he pointed out Fletcher as one of the bad moves. Couldn't be any more wrong there, wish we had a whole team full of London Fletchers.
how the hell did he justify saying that?

THAT would call the authors credibility into question.

yes i think the authors a dip as well as danny london has been one of the best moves weve ever made.

Taibbi rocks, but why he did a piece on sports is beyond me? He was a founder of The Exile in Moscow, the English language rag in Moscow in the mid to late 90's. He did great articles on the corruption in the Yeltsin era then came back to America and ended up with the Rolling Stone gig(He writes for The Nation, etc). He is a pretty good writer. His recent stuff on Wall Street is great in explaining how the market was inflated, etc. Yes he is over the top, but you have to be to keep folks reading unfortunately nowadays. THe younger crowd needs the attitude and entertainment factor to read. I am sorry to hear him think Fletcher was a dumb move. London has basically been the only good FA move Snyder has made, other than the Haynesworth signing.

The jury is still out i think on whether the Haynesworth signing was a good move. Good player? Most definatley. Good for our team? Check. 100 million dollar salary for a team that is already barely under the cap each year? Negative....

Most of our cap sins can be fixed in the...........uncapped year. It would be a great time to address such matters

He won't see over half of that $100 million. The real number is somewhere between 41 and 48

He's been doing a monthly article on football this season. He should definitely stick with what he knows.
