HailSkins90

I live in the UK now. Would be a shame if his new posh house got covered in loo roll. Mysteriously, of course.

I live in the UK now. May I suggest that Montgomery County take back their most famous son so that I don't have to continue living in close proximity to this asshat? Lets see if they do something similar ever again now that the spotlight is going to leave them behind. Given he's spent the last several months yachting around the Mediterranean oligarch circuit, I doubt it. Also given the kind of businessman he is, I doubt it even more. But I've been surprised before.

That's honestly very exciting to see. Echoes what my folks used to say was the best part of the Skins in the 80s and early 90s - humble, servants of the community, hard workers, etc. They used to mix in the same social circles as Joe Jacoby and others from time to time back then.

I live in Europe now so I don't get much access to the physical Post anymore. Thank you for posting this! Awesome to see. Wish I could get a copy...

I live overseas now, so I don't have tons of proximity to DC anymore. But when I visit in the future, I hope I'm able to possibly come by a new ballpark on the site of RFK, get a $4 hotdog and a $5 beer, and watch the skins play again in a stadium that isn't a huge monument to the almighty Dollar. I just want to have a good time in DC. Here's hoping in 3-5 years things will be great.

I have been waiting for this news for decades. I fondly remember posting on ES back in like 2004 (under an older nym) as a teenager about how much I hated Dan Snyder. Consensus back then was that he was tolerable to not a problem. I still stand by what I've said over the last 20+ years, the man is an unfathomably evil sack of crap and I wish nothing but horrible things for him for the rest of his days, and not just because of football, but for all the actual human misery he has been responsible for as a terrible business man. I can't help but think of all the passionate fans who have died between 97 and today who never got to see this. I hope Dan and Tanya have enough good sense to leave the DC area forever and never come back.

This could be a quote from 2006 and no one would know the difference lol

So to answer your question directly, no. I stopped caring a long time ago, but the moment that I completely gave up on the Skins was when they kept RGIII in that playoff game and he snapped his leg (and his career). That's the perfect illustration of the Dan Snyder franchise - destroy a young man for the hope of winning a single game rather than focusing on what matters. I am still disgusted to this day and I vowed I would never spend another dime that would make its way to Snyder's pocket, including the wider NFL thanks to the revenue sharing. The NFL is so corrupt and disgusting I simply can't watch it anymore. The players are exploited in such a foul way, it's sickening. I live in Europe now, so I have basically no opportunity to be exposed to the NFL in my daily life. If I were forced to say, I suppose I am shopping for a new favorite team... but given the above, I find it hard to care at all about American football. Maybe the Bills??? I dunno. I hope to see Dan Snyder undone. I hope he suffers, he is truly a terrible human being.

It's finally over. It's been a long time coming, but this was the last breath of a dying person finally arrived. This one is a newer account, but I made an account on ES back in 2005 when the forum was officially integrated with the team website and I used to post a ton from 2005-2012. I've never been a fan of Dan Snyder, but it was tolerable for awhile. The losing was painful, but part of the package deal that being a Skins fan was all about. For me, the injury (injuries really) that RGIII sustained in his rookie season, especially the seahawks game, and learning about all the organizational pressure that sacrificed the health, safety, and future of this kid on the alter of making Dan Snyder a buck was what killed my ability to follow this team, and frankly the NFL. Everything that's come out since has further highlighted that. The appalling, disgusting sexual harassment and assault that has "allegedly" taken place under Dan's petty dictatorship, the way he completely disregards the humanity of everyone around him, both his employees and the general public; it's horrific. How anyone can support this team anymore is beyond me. The NFL is an appalling business organization. Corrupt, disgusting, and broken. This new name, the new uniforms, the personnel swap in the head office (new names, same awful people and behavior, same Dan Snyder), Snyder having an even larger ownership stake. It's all just the latest in a long, 25+ year downward spiral. The Skins used to be pillars of the community. Now? I barely have words to describe my utter contempt for Dan's organization. So yeah, it definitely feels like an end. I've watched someone I used to love, who hurt me (and so many other people) finally take their last breath and just die. And it doesn't fill me with any sense of relief. I just feel nothing. So long folks, I'll always have fond memories of my parents recalling their fond memories of the 1980's Skins. Many of you are great people, and I definitely recognize some old usernames in this thread... would the last one of you please turn out the light when you exit the building? Dan's got bills to pay after all and we wouldn't want to drive up costs for Mr. Snyder...

YESSSSSS, dear god, that was way way way too close. I have no idea what the heck Davey was thinking, but damn, that win was SO needed. Great game by Stras and Mad Max

My god, this is excruciating

The frustration stems from how predictable and avoidable these issues are. It's one thing to be outplayed, it's another to just not show up to play at all, players and manger together. Stras, Zim, Soto, and occasionally Tony are the only guys who've shown up to play in the post season so far.

Not being hyperbolic or sarcastic, Davey just isn't cut out to be a big time championship-winning manager. I've been nothing but disappointed and baffled by his decisions the entire time he's been in DC.

Depressing.

I'm okay with this. Corbin has been doing alright, so let's see how this goes.
