Just on a quick Google flight time is $400-$500 an hour which starts when the banner is flown into the air from the airport. It said banners cost $1.75 a square foot, so figure $200 there. That was just a quick Google hit, I wonder if there is such a service close to Fedex? All you would need for 2 hours and a banner was 100 people donating the cost of their next 12 pack.

Re: Jay Gruden fired

Snyder fired Vinny so I don't think firing Bruce is off limits.

December 7, 2009 -- Vinny was fired

December 17, 2009 -- Bruce was officially hired

I think we need a new best buddy waiting in the wings for Snyder to feel comfortable letting go of Bruce. I dont think we have that person. I dont think Snyder will let go of Bruce's hand until then.

Scary part is I dont have a clue who could be the next bestie for Snyder. Bruce might be around for a long time.

I thought you were going on some numerological IB tangent for a second.

Alex Smith and Dan Snyder have been hanging out in the owner's booth, and at Sunday's game there was a prominent video shot of Alex and Dan walking on the sidelines together, with Dan staring at Alex lovingly. He may be the on his way to being the bestie that can get Dan to let go of Bruce.

Re: Jay Gruden fired

Will someone volunteer to start a donors choose or another similar online fundraising platform to raise money for signs to take to the stadium? Local DC dwellers on this page should start a standing committee on here to coordinate. Get a Facebook page going. Start sending out event requests. It could go viral like the Area 51 situation.

A gofundme page to have the fans buy the team like the Packers.

Snyder will never sell the team. I’m talking about a real fan based push for publicly pressuring Snyder for change.

Re: Jay Gruden fired

Plucked from an article on ESPN.con on Vontae Davis retiring in the middle of a game:


Meanwhile, 375 miles away in D.C., where his Redskins were playing the Colts, Vernon had just entered the locker room at halftime. He saw a missed call from his brother, which was odd -- they never called each other during games. So he called back and asked if everything was OK.

Are you kidding me? Gruden let players use cell phones at halftime? I thought it was bad when I read Tomsula gave players cell phone breaks in the middle of meetings when HC of the 49ers. Bad enough, but in the middle of a game?

Honestly in today's day and age most guys probably have phones in the locker rooms, it's just the nature of our lifestyle now.

To be honest, I think we are nitpicking on little things now. What if it was a family emergency? The article specifically pointed out the fact that the brothers never called each other during the games so naturally Vernon called back to see what's up.

Re: Jay Gruden fired

Jay was due anyway, his overall record vs good teams is trash and we all know his primetime record... The guy just isn't a good HC, He can blame BA and DS all he wants but at the end of the day, he couldn't get the guys motivated and ready on a daily basis

Re: Jay Gruden fired

I just think Jay is/was too caught up in his slap dick passing game, his 3 by one formations and what not. Meanwhile Kyle's running the I formation that Gruden publicly crapped on and is running for 260 freakin yards, with a fullback.
