    Ah, looks like typical Snider stuff. His attorneys have only offered the literal last two days of the session as an option, because they knows anybody there has more important things to do the last two days, where they scramble to complete important business. Then when they turn him down he can say "Look I tried" or if they accept it he goes "Why arent they focused on more important things being taken care of?". They should absolutely reject it and give him 4-5 days as options so he really has no excuse(not that he ever had one).

    Im not sure how he thinks dodging a subpoena isnt going to make things worse. Hes absolutely living in his own bizarro land but even his thin support is eroding with these stunts. It may take 5 years, but once he goes it will be bad.

    Goodell also said that he voluntarily did it, so Goodell didnt make him do anything, Snyder chose to. The NFL is trying to have their punishment and not have it too. The fact nobody on that committee actually went after him for that or asked questions on it shows what a failure it was. Based on all that I saw, if that is the committee responsible for investigating Snyder and his behavior, absolutely nothing will come of it as they are all seemingly incompetent.

    Its not. Its just that no one else except his hardcore fans care anymore. Theres no one that disliked Snyder before that is now thinking "gee, now that a few more accusations and details came out, but because its dragged on a bit Im part of his fanclub". Anecdotal evidence from your random perusing's on twitter means nothing times zero, especially not to the only few that matter, the other owners. "and wouldnt mind seeing him sell". Thats about all you need to know. "You know if it happened, I guess it wouldnt be the worst thing in the world".

    Wright was brought in, simply, to save an evil empire. He was put in place to make sure the evil overloard Dan got to stay as owner. To help him smooth over the current problems and lawsuits and make things look good enough that the attention would go away. That in and of itself should make it revolting to most people. Theres not a chance that Goodell, or Wright, or anyone else involved would say anything bad about a guy we know is terribly evil in Dan Snyder, unless public opinion made them do it to keep themselves afloat. Its just a shame that congress got its opportunity to press Goodell on his obvious lies about the investigation, why he sealed it, and why he protects Dan, and chose to ask a few questions but mostly play politics. Sadly, Riveras statement showed Ron was also fully on that train. While the report remains secret, and not written down according to Goodell, Ron says "our organization had already put into place or was in the process of implementing the suggestions mentioned in the report". What report? What nonsense. Nobody has seen the suggestions in the report that was ordered not to be reported, unless it does ACTUALLY exist in written form and then Goodell and Snyder lied and Ron knows it.

    I read it all. Wish I had taken their correct approach to it and saved myself the time.

    So, lets be clear here...They had video evidence showing no assault could have occurred, and Mr "Ill sue an old lady" Snyder agrees to pay her 1.6 million. Absolute BS. If you want to argue she made things up and there is some he-said she-said thats fine, and plausible if again super suspect because of the payout for a guy we know would only do that as a last resort. But anyone suggesting theres actual video proof it doesnt happen, but they paid her anyway, is absolutely lying in my(and pretty much everyone elses) opinion.

    Never forget, Goodell is a great evil, and he sells himself for very large sums of money to protect the greater evils. I think the committee is using the appearance of giving Dan as many options as possible as extra ammo to later force a subpoena. Because if they gave him every option and he declined they can then say they had no choice. Of course Dan would be a fool to agree to testify as the moment he enters that room he looses even more than he usually does. But they are backing him into a corner. Then maybe they will subpoena him and he will refuse to answer any questions and the humiliation of the NFL and Snyder will continue. He just doesnt have a good option as Goodell is way more of a smooth talker, and because what hes done in the past has made it impossible for him. Does the committee wield a banhammer better than TK? Probably not, but they can always delightfully prove us wrong.

    Its a game of chicken where both sides have leverage and both sides dont really have leverage. First, the team has leverage because it ultimately can control the next few years of Terry's earning until hes 30. Second, Terry has leverage because Ron and Co are in trouble and need to win THIS season. And those reasons are why the other side doesnt have leverage. While the team has control over his earnings for several years, and him sitting out would mean losing out on his one big contract(due to his age), they need him to win now. While Terry knows they need to win now and so they need him, he also knows that if they dont blink hes screwed, and he will likely lose tens of millions in earnings, meaning his first real opportunity will be when hes 30 and on the decline. So in the end, its a game of chicken where its about who blinks first and they both probably know it. The only way either really wins is if they both win. If Terry was younger, he would be in the drivers seat. If the team has made the playoffs last year, Ron would be in the drivers seat. As long as both sides are rational it gets done. The real danger is someone does something completely irrational, or really angers and offends the other side.

    Not a chance, the NFL will look at how massive this fanbase is, and how it was top 3 in the NFL, and salivate over putting another team here. Money talks.

    On the flip side, you can also have 26 houses, each worth 1 million, and have 2 million in cash and be broke if you owe $30 million on the houses. Having lots of expensive things doesnt mean someone isnt broke, its all about assets vs liabilities, and ability to pay big costs for wealthy people is often tied into their financials. If he has good financials, lenders will line up to give money, especially temporary(6 months) loans to an NFL owner. But if he has bad financials, lenders are going to look at his books and decline to offer him temporary operating cash, especially considered that someone could turn a cash cow into something thats not. Unless someone can see his books, we probably can only guess based on how those that CAN actually see his books react.

    No you cant. Conduct detrimental has to be conduct first of all, and almost always has to involve something such as an arrest or charges. An opinion on twitter would be an absolute lawyer field day. If the team fined him, legally they would be required to say THEY issued the fine unless he just volunteered, you have no idea what you are talking about.

    Im told Tanya has a background in design, so the stadium is in good hands. The will surely be eventually able to possibly maybe find a potential piece of property that could fit their plans and where someone might possibly let them build something. Now where the moneys going to come from who knows.
  14. Peregrine
    The "I" is probably because the team has no grounds to find him. Regardless of his opinions, unless he specifically breached a part of his contract that forbid some political mention at a team interview, they just have no ground. Legally you have to have a breach of contract, not just "bad press".
  15. Peregrine
    There are some invitations you should not accept, as itll make you look bad. Theres no way Dan or Goodell are showing up to those. While they know it will look bad if they dont go, like any guilty person they know it will be way worse if they have to sit their and answer questions. Theres a zero percent chance they do that willingly. They are counting on the fallout being manageably if they dont, what Dan always counts on.

    You probably havent really looked at the history of the franchise. Since the beginning of the NFL some 55 years ago, how many years have the Redskins/WFT/Commanders won a playoff game......where Joe Gibbs wasnt the coach? The answer is two. In 55 years. If we win 3 playoff games over the next several years, it will be the teams best stretch in the past 30 years, the best by any coach not named Gibbs in the history of the franchise, and tied for as many wins as all other coaches combined.

    Not surprised they went for the loudoun location first, that one is a no-brainer as the much better option, especially if you want to put a whole complex in.
  18. Peregrine
    Already thrown the first of many(or 7) interceptions, look out.
  19. Peregrine
    Horrible location? Check. Looks like a condom? Check. Traffic nightmare? Check. Dan Snyder Special! The reason they like it? Its 1 1/2 hours from Richmond, so they think they will get a lot of fans making that drive. Why build an entire campus around the stadium if theres no reason for anyone to come visit from out of town? If the stadium is in DC, people can make a weekend of it. If its Ashburn/Dulles, its right by the airport with metro access, super easy and people can still visit DC easily. Woodbridge? Nothing.

    Hes teflon and the NFL is corrupt enough to keep him until he goes to prison for something. Basically owners said "for the first time" other owners are discussing it, which is a bad sign. Also that "if" the new allegations are true they should "do something". IM hardly enthused. The NFL owners meetings may just be the semi-annual super-villains meeting, and nothing more. They could care less what anyone does as long as it allows them to stay rich enough.

    Russia cant wait anything out. Their economy is falling apart, they are running out of money and are using up their mediocre weapons, leaving them with those they know probably dont work. Ukraine can dig in and the longer this goes on, the more Russia falls apart economically, socially, militarily, and the will of both the people to live it and soldiers to die in it will continue to erode, while Ukraines will not. You've completely misread it. The only hope Russia really have, and the real danger is they can grab the rest of the two separatist regions and declare new governments, annex them into Russia and say now that any foreign military entering there is declaring war on Russia. It may not work but its at least the only play they have, and they want to do it as quickly as possible.

    Broke for a normal person? No. Broke for an NFL owner. Yes.

    The Eagles finished the season 6-2, shored up their defense in free agency, and on paper had a fantastic draft. And based on what some fans on here are saying about the Eagles being overrated, looks like they are a lock to be really good this year.
  24. Peregrine
    Who is "you guys"? And its highly arguable by someone like you, but not to the vast majority of rational people. They dont think the fact a Russian dictator loving country being the only one to try and accuse someone of war crimes means anything. They also dont think that an elected president who didnt order troops to murder and rape is the same as a dictator who does. Thats not how the USA is viewed by most countries, thats just how you view things in your crazy world where you try and equate the two, because one war and another war must be identical in your small-minded ability to only fit things in neat boxes. And no, if you kill someone, by law, you arent necessarily a murderer. The fact you dont understand that basic concept would be shocking if it weren't for....yeah. And im not even getting into the morality of the Iraq war, something I heavily opposed.
  25. Peregrine
    And the others not named Malaysia didnt? So just like Putin then. Malaysia is on Russia's side in their attempted genocide of Ukraine, so tell me should anyone care about their view of war crimes? Please, go peddle your political nonsense somewhere else in a desperate attempt to equate a brutal dictator with a democratically elected and unelected official.
