Good read here - a week old - but good read from an insiders' perspective on the emails. The interesting part was this tidbit about why Bruce Allen was hired (hint; not for his football knowledge).

Snyder hired Allen to leverage those relationships—with Capitol Hill and with the league office—for the ultimate gain of WFT. The communications with Pash show Allen doing exactly what he was hired to do: gain a slight edge over other teams with Park Avenue.
