So far this year DS has been true to his word. He has taken some degree of accountability for his past mistakes. Not full disclosure mind you but some responsibility. I think he has learned finally to let the football guys run the team.
Regarding Monday night we just plain out got our asses whomped by a younger quicker team. Who have a quarterback playing off the charts. To fix our team is gonna take YEARS. If we continue with the quick fix solution our beloved Redskins will never be anything better than a middle of the pack team.
Also if you feel the need to threaten changing your support for the team because of ONE LOSS. You have already caved- move on to another team with a transient fan base, like the Cowboys. There is a team that needs more spineless fair weather fans. If you love something NOTHING will change your support. Either man up and gut it out like most of the true Redskins fans or take a hike. HTTR!

The Cranky Redskins Fan's Guide to Dan Snyder - Washington City Paper (http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/articles/40063/the-cranky-redskins-fans-guide-to-dan-snyder)
nothing to say from this long detailed article but wow!
andyman whom extreme wets themselves over as an "inside source" was really karl swanson and some of his henchmen.
DS sold year old airline peanuts at the stadium when the peanuts had a 3 month shelf life?
he forged names with his telecommunication company?
those tress he cut down werent on his property but federally proteced lands?
WOW!
edit - bakerman are you andyman's brother? sorry gotta ask.
Andyman = Swanson was no big secret, nor was it very hard to figure out.
Gotta say though this dumping on Snyder right now is really uncalled for. And alot of the criticisms in that article can't be pinned directly on him and are petty gripes. For instance Gibbs wanted Saunders, it's not like Snyder brought him in and forced him upon Gibbs.

yeah thats why i didnt start a new thread or anything. but i found the article to give more details to things we alredy had some knowledge of plus it was done in a pretty cool entertaining manner.
but yeah, the past is the past right now until we learn of things otherwise.
but come one man, that was a pretty interesting article for content and format.

There's way more to blame Snyder for than to not blame him for.
People are hesitant to trust him. He has mostly been a horrible owner in his time here. He knows little about football. 1 season where he is trying to do the right things is not enough for some of us to forgive him just yet.
He has single handedly killed a once respected and beloved franchise. No other person besides maybe the senile Al Davis has done such a thing...

He also treated a dying Dan Turk like a piece of shit. Al Davis at least called the Turks.

Peggy Turk said Oakland owner Al Davis showed more compassion toward her husband than Snyder even though Turk hadn't played for the Raiders since 1996. Davis called to check on Dan Turk, which is why the long-snapper's photograph in a Raiders uniform was displayed at the funeral.

ROFL. Well if Snyder brings in a Doctors note* claiming he is senile would we forgive him?
* The note can't be on six flags letterhead.

I usually really enjoy reading Gregg Easterbrook's column, but this one really ticked me off. Last year he went on a rant calling for Snyder to hire a true GM, he did, and now Gregg is still saying he is tearing this team apart. I know realize why some younger fans are expecting the win now scenario from the new leaders of the organization, they get it from the freakn media. I saved this article because next season, or the one after, when the Redskins are top contenders, I am going to email Easterbrook and call him on this crap.
