Preferential treatment was a huge, huge issue when I was down there back in the late 20th century/early 00s. But it wasn't really with Snyder-it was with other owners who are no longer part of the team. With Dan Snyder it was really-and I think it still is-an open door policy. Some players took advantage of it more than others but from my recollection there wasn't any overt preferential treatment from him.

What exactly is happening now I can't really say but it's not like this is kind of stuff is all that uncommon. Like when Parcells was asked to explain why he cut Quincy Carter because of drug problems but put up with Lawrence Taylor for so many years he basically said "Because one guy is LT and the other guy is Quincy Carter"

Still, I think a lot of this will change with Vinny gone now. As I think I may have told a couple of you a big reason he was let go was that he couldn't/didn't have control over the basic organizational structure and that was extremely detrimental. That coupled with the fact that Zorn is someone who never really earned the respect of the players-he couldn't say trust me this works the way say Gibbs could-just made for a bad combination.
