Snyder Camp Upset!!

I met Dan Turk while the Skins training camp was in Frostburg. .


???...........when were they in Frostburg?

I know, I just get tired of hearing how the Skins are the absolute worst and are the only team with issues. It's simply not true.

Wow, I didnt realize things had gotten so bad. Its pretty sad when you have to say "hey the skins are better than the Lions, Raiders, Browns, & Cards" and of those pathetic teams 2 have actually been to the Super Bowl in that time period.

Ask anyone outside of Redskinville what are the worst 3 franchises and I think the Skins will be named in 9/10 groups.

Yeah, they spent a few training camps in Frostburg, in the mid to late 90s.
I'm going to go ahead and come to Snyder's defense again re: Dan Turk (may he rest in peace). Turk's wife was most upset about two things with the Redskins when her husband died 10+ years ago. 1) that while he was sick in the hospital almost no Redskins (save for one or two) came to see him and 2) when interviewed about the botch snap, instead of letting the public know that her husband was dying of cancer he said "we have a new long snapper, that won't be a problem anymore"

I understand her argument that she felt the organization from the top down had a culture that didn't care about her husband so she put the blame on Snyder. But that seems like a bit of an extreme case to make. If Snyder himself didn't visit, shame on him but don't make him responsible for how the players chose don't handle to it. He can't make them go, particularly not when it's the offseason. And as for not telling the public her husband was dying of cancer; it's not Snyder's place to do that. He was right not to say anything, because he has no business talking about his employees' personal matters unless it's already public knowledge or he's been consented to do so. But for her to assume he would just be the one to tell everyone her husband had cancer is wrong on her part, that's not his place and he was smart not to say anything.

And I know she was (is) upset with the lack of benefits she felt she and her family got. But that's more on the NFL as a whole that simply Snyder.

So look, I totally sympathize with her and it's terrible she lost her husband and she has every right to be angry and frustrated, but taking a step back and looking at it without emotion I think her anger at times has been a bit misplaced.

I met Dan Turk while the Skins training camp was in Frostburg. We were at one of the local bars in WV and he started shooting the shit with me. We must have stood there chatting for close to 2 hours. Damn nice guy. RIP Dan Turk.

FWIW: I had no idea that Dan Snyder was Jewish. Don't care either. People are so damned thin skinned these days it makes me want to vomit. Seriously, lighten up and quit looking for insults.

As young as Danny Boy is, we have to hope he gets his crap together as he'll be around for a looooong time. Let's home he's just a slow learner and is finally catching up to the curve. God I'm so tired of going into each season thinking "well, we could go 10-6 or 6-10". I'd love to go into a season excited for once.

You had no idea that "SNYDER" was Jewish? Don't watch much family guy do ya?

Snyder, is a variation of Schneiderman.

Here is a full list of Jewis Last names for ya.

I actually didn't know he was Jewish until his lawsuit. I guess that would explain a lot over the past 12 years.

Please elaborate on that last statement. One MIGHT read it in a horribly anti-Semitic way and I certainly hope that is NOT what you mean to say here.

I don't give a shit what people read it as. I have a severe dislike of all people that lie/steal/scam from the people while taking advantage of their loyalties. This includes, jews, arabs, whites, blacks, asians, latins, and another other nationality/religion you can think of.

I'm a Equal Opportunity Hater when it comes to people like that.


Also, why is it so "taboo" to crack on the jews? Because of the holocaust? There have been bigger genocides in the world than the jews, but all of a sudden they get the "free pass" here? We nearly wiped out the Native Americans but they don't get that type of respect. I guess it's different when it's "Jesus's people". (which i don't believe in god to begin with)

Let's not take this conversation in a direction it doesn't need to go
