I wonder if Danny will be cruising this around to recruit free agents next March :cool-smil

Hatters gon' hat. Screw 'em all Danny.

Just seen it on Yahoo, and again my sig will never come true!!

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

Those shots that Chris Chase takes at Snyder are really un-called for. Pretty lame of Chase.

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

He must already be realizing a cost savings after 2 offseasons w/Bruce Allen at the helm!

I'll second that. I know Chase is a 'Skins fan and all, but he always takes the opportunity to throw shots at Snyder or whomever the flavor of the month is whenever he gets it. He just comes across as extremely bitter, more than your average fan. And he doesn't hesitate to over exaggerate when it comes to problems of other NFCE teams too, which just makes him look bitter at their success. As said on ESPN,"C'mon Man!" A billionaire buys a yacht? who f'n cares?

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

Nice but that's just not a boat to me. I know its a yacht.

I agree. Snyder is the owner of a freaking NFL football team. he paid a bazillion dollars to buy the team. this is capitalism. If chase was in snyders position, what does he think he'd do? live in a 200,000 house, drive a kia, and give fans beer for free? come on - he'd charge 8.75 for beers and buy a freaking huge yacht too. as long as snyder lets allen and shanny do their jobs and writes whatever checks THEY want, he can do whatever the heck HE wants with the money he's EARNED.

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

Good for him

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

Snyder's got 99 problems...

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

Well it sounds like DS is splitting this w/ a group of people, so he proabaly didn't pay the full price. Also who cares? It's his money, he earned it and he can do what he damn well pleases with it. Why is this even news?

A rich guy has an expensive toy?
No way!

Perfect way to sum this up.

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

...but..but guys....the owners are losing money!!!! :yeahright

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

It's not like he's buying huge boats yet neglecting this team. I know people hate him, but I like Snyder as an owner. He wants to win just as bad as you and I do. He may not always approach it the right way. But you live and learn. I think we've already seen him learn from his mistakes.

Would you rather have Snyder or Mike Brown from the Bengals? That's the easiest decision I've ever made!

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

Congrats Mr. Snyder!

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

Still front page on Yahoo. Smh....

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

The guy is a billionaire or damn close to it, so he can buy a $70 million boat if he so choses. Would love to see a pic of the yacht though.

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

Before the nuts start ranting about "corporate greed", perhaps they should consider the following:
Did Snyder have to pay sales tax? Do the builders have to pay their workers salaries and benefits?

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

I just bought one myself

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

I can't believed we just resigned Albert Haynsworth, albeit at a slightly reduced rate.

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

lol,I thought this was pretty funny myself

Among its many other features:

1. Looks great from March to August, then fails to perform from September to January.

2. Can be replaced every three years by another yacht that will seem much better than the previous yacht, yet will quickly fall out of favor when another, even better, yacht becomes available.

3. Has an on-board courtroom to help pursue frivolous lawsuits at sea.

4. Includes a kid-sized bed so Tom Cruise will have a place to sleep when he visits.

5. The crew of 18 includes a manager named Danny. He cannot be fired for any reason, even if his crew repeatedly spills wine on guests, botches meal service and blocks the back of the boat during smoke breaks.

6. At $8.75, beers are a bargain.

7. Needs to be docked 10 miles away from Washington, D.C., in the middle of nowhere at a nondescript location with not enough parking and too few roads to handle the crush of passengers.

8. Won't be as big as the yacht Jerry Jones inevitably purchases

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

Yeah I say here, here. Spend your cash DS.

I can't help it if my yacht is a tranny. It has a propeller where the exhaust should be.

Not even sure it's about that. I think the big thing here is the Owner's plea during this whole lockout fiasco is that they needed the extra money to reinvest into future stadiums, facilities, etc. Which we all know is a load of horse shit. They just want more money to sponsor their already lavish lifestyle.

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

You know the saying. "Big Boat Little Dingy".

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

let the man live...people jump all over him for anything. He's help increase the value of the franchise since he bought it, let him sail around in a boat if it makes him feel good, just as long as he doesnt go back to advising football decisions

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Thats what i say. Good for him, he should be spending his money on lavish things just like rich people are supposed to do. And hopefully this shows that hes going to continue to be less involved in operations. Plus Id would be worried if I saw him on the Potomac in a old pos catamaran.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]But unfortunately I am unable to mention Dan without hating on him a little bit so…… I disagree with you when you say he has helped increase the value of the franchise since he bought it. A quick google search shows the average value of a NFL franchise in 2004 (as far back as I could quickly find) was 630 million while the Redskins were worth 1,034 million. The average NFL franchise value today is 952 while the Redskins are worth 1,560. So the Redskins franchise’s value has increased by 50.8% vs 51.2% for the rest of the league, which is right on par. The Redskins also used to be the most valuable franchise until a few years ago, they have now been surpassed by the Cowboys who’s value has increased 117% over the same period. Rounding out the top 5 most valuable NFL franchises and their increases, NE @ 85%; NYG @ 127% and NYJ @ 116%.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Verdana][COLOR=black]Its good that we have a owner willing to spend money unlike Tampa or Cincy, but I think the new CBA will pretty much make that a moot point going forward. I hope Dan keeps having fun with his money like he should. In the meantime the thing I like about him the most is hating on him, I just cant help it….. [/COLOR][/FONT]

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

I don't know guys, I think Danny is struggling. He was dead last in the Forbes 400 list of richest Americans this year, well behind Jerry Jones:

I don't think corps can write off yahts like they could back in the 80's.

Re: Dan Snyder is Big Pimpin'
 

Damn, maybe he can raffle of some spots on a cruise at the stadium. I'd spend 20 bucks at a chance for a week on that beast. Maybe we can start having those parties like the ones the Vikings got in trouble for now.
