Where's the flat out lying? The season tickets? Redskins haven't been forthright about that since the 70s?

I assume we were referring to Leary's resume (or I was) in reference to the lying. That bio isn't a "resume" to speak of.

I could really care less if someone hates the guy or not. I just think we've been there, done that a million times already.

How do we even know Dan Snyder wrote the bio himself? That seems like a job I'd appoint to someone under me if I were in his position.

I'd expect it from Dallas fans in the same way we call their owner "Jerrah", but from Skins fans? It just seems petty and immature.

Aren't you being a bit sensitive?


So having a nick-name for Snyder is now petty and immature. Truth be told, I call him Danny Boy as a homage to this guy. If you've seen the movie, you'll understand. Too bad Snyder isn't half as cool as that dude was...lol

(guy on far right)



Now, if people were making up a name like Haynesworthless type of variation of his name, you might have a point.

I seriously hope nobody thinks that Danny wrote that himself.

My mom heard me call Mr. Snyder, Danny Boy, once. It upset her because she didnt like him being associated with the song Danny Boy by The Irish Tenors, of which she is very fond of. I was shocked that my mom knew who Dan Synder was, let alone that he's disliked by many and some people use the Danny Boy moniker disparagingly towards him. My mom was shocked that people would use Danny Boy moniker disparagingly.

That he is paying someone to write such a long and insecure bio is the point. He is an extremely successful Billionaire businesses man that owns an NFL team, isn't that cool enough? Why sell him like he is Sandusky?
He would be better served presenting himself from a position of quiet strength. Not of loud insecure weakness.
Did he approve this Bio? That is the real question.
Bashing him further is not the point. So there shouldn't be be this rush to defend him on this.

Seems that people are missing what makes this article different than most every other anti-Snyder screed to come before it: this one is hilarious! It made me laugh out loud at several parts, so who cares if the point has already been made and made again. This isn't a proposal for a graduate thesis, it's a throwaway humerous article on a sportsblog with some great zingers. Although to go a step further and suggest that the bio's lack of objectivity actually reflects poorly on Snyder's character is pretty ridiculous in its own right. My official bio has some pretty critical ommissions as well (for instance no mention whatsoever of the year 2002), although I don't think that makes me a dishonest person. It's certainly not the same as claiming to hold a made-up degree from a made-up-school and putting that on my resume.

SS, I think he means people are rushing to say and judge that he is a complete and utter piece of brahman shit, without considering, that, um he IS a billionaire, and thats cool?

I guess?

Ummmm, no, sorry, ya, where the phuck DID the Sandusky allusion come from dude?

I guess I gave it the ol' college (not Penn State) try though.

Not even close.
My point was Snyder is NOT Sandusky. So why write a bio that has mistakes, misinforms and stretches the truth? To talk Snyder up and promote him is if he were a bad guy (like a Sandusky)? Get it now?

The BIO says: "In addition, four players and one coach from his tenure as owner, Darrell Green, Russ Grimm, Chris Hanburger, Art Monk and George Allen, have gone on to induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame."

Snyder made some poor choices (Cerratto to name one big one) that cost them on the field. But that was a long time ago. Snyder's bio should not be so LONG and POORLY written and Snyder should not have people on his staff that would write such a weak bio.

No. We still don't' get it. It was a stupid analogy and not even fitting to say the least. Dan Snyder is a first class douche bag, but he isn't a child molester so let's not even use those two people in the same sentence when comparing anything. I know you aren't insinuating his is, but it's still well out of line.

Listen, the bio isn't meant to rile you guys up. It's meant to have a good laugh at the expense of Danny Boy and move on. I think many of you guys are making too much of this bio, and many of you are taking the article too serious.

I'm glad some people enjoyed the laugh as I did.
