Danny boy has done a lot of screwed up things since he's been owner. There has been much on the job training in his case but it does appear he's learned a few things along the way. Turning control of the team over to a GM like Allen and to the coach is the most valuable of these lessons and one I hope Jerruh never learns. Glad he's staying in the background where he belongs.

Really enjoyed this article. I think it highlighted both Snyder's flaws and his humanity in a really balanced way. I can certainly sympathize with how hard he apparently takes Redskins losses. For some reason, hearing that he boozes until 1am/4am makes me feel a little bit more of a kinship with him (even though I have had absolutely no role in the team's player personnel gaffes of the last 13 years).

This may be a bridge to far, but I've always wondered if Snyder suffers from some form of bipolar disorder or, maybe more likely, Asberger's/autism. He's a guy who just really wants people to like him and to have friends, but because he has social difficulties, he sees money/power/celebrity as the only reliable way to achieve that goal.

I'm about anti-Snyder as they come, but is this even remotely relevant at this current point?





Answer: No




Seth is about 3-4 years late on the Snyder hate.

I don't think it was a Snyder hate piece. It's part of ESPN the Mag's DC feature in its latest issue

One thing I never understood is McKenna's frustration with the non-partner being relegated to the parking lot. He must not know how media works

I thought it was fair in the end, he definately has taken a step back the last couple years. We all knew that about the players before also.

Snyder has screwed up a lot in the past, I mean a lot. But he is staying out of the way now and is no longer messing the Skins up. Bottom line, that's all any fan can ask him to do.

Let's just be happy he finally got it and it letting the team be ran the way it should be. At least for the most part.

I think Crusie was on E when he did this Oprah interview. No way a normal human being goes on TV and acts like this. It was E or a lot of coke.
