Cheap Losses > Expensive Wins

Snyder has always chosen (2), which is more fun (painful) to watch. I think Dan Snyder has been business-smart because he's found ways to make money while paying these expensive contracts. He's spent lavishly & excited the fans each year -> and the fans buy into the hype each year (McNabb and Haynesworth jerseys, tickets, etc). Thank goodness it seems like things have changed (?) and Shanny's running the show and a real team.

well, the team's "sold out" since 1966, but they had to remove 10-20k seats this year because the cost of stupidity is passed right on to the consumer, and at a certain point, HDTV just wins out over $7 stale beer and long lines.

the clippers won cheap forever, someone actually did a docu about it (mainly the 70's 80's clippers) and I mean, they're the reason the NBA has a draft lottery.
