    If I were to guess, I'd say that the owners would threaten Snyder's financial future (behind the scenes) if he refused to sell, rather than openly vote him out. It wouldn't surprise me if something like that was in play with Jerry Richardson or Eddie DeBartolo. These are not necessarily nice people engaged in a nice business. Snyder's wealth is largely tied to, and tied up with, the team, so it's not like he can tell the owners to take a hike if they pressure him thusly. As for fanhood--I'd rather just drop the league entirely than flounce away to the Ravens or Bills etc. Dan Snyder and things like the Jon Gruden affair and the Browns' signing of DeShaun Watson have soured me somewhat on the entire enterprise. I still have my treasured memories of the old days, but this doesn't seem like that league anymore.

    Could be, but it seems more like a cheezball negotiating tactic.

    It definitely looks fast-food related, in some way. Like a new campus for Hamburger University, perhaps.

    I lived in Woodbridge 20 years ago and briefly in the San Fernando Valley about a decade before that. There's no comparison. The traffic from the Beltway down to Woodbridge was a nightmare seven days a week, and that was two decades ago. It's way worse now. I know off-hour traffic in LA is worse now, but I've never experienced anything like I-95 in Northern Virginia. It's like taking all the traffic in the Valley and condensing it into a third the space

    The issue with reach is not whether to pick the player, in most cases, but whether a team wanting that player could trade back for more picks and still get that player. There's a gamble involved with that, if course.

    State AG investigations of prominent people or companies always have a political dimension, but we don't need to go off into conspiracy land about what it "really means." For one thing, if an investigation turns up more bad stuff on Snyder, the AG will be taking a big risk by deciding not to sue or pursue charges. Hard to snuff out the fire once lit.

    The 'juice' (if it happened) put more money in Dan's pocket than being honest would have. The question is Dan's risk assessment capability. You give him more credit for that than I do. This is not a guy whose horizon stretches very far.

    This is the guy who sued grandma because she couldn't afford her season tickets anymore. It's absolutely believable. Petty and stupid is perfectly on-brand.

    In other words, the big racism scandal can't be far off. 😄

    My son's (9 and 7) don't seem to give two bits about football, so I haven't had to face this dilemma. Now, if Snyder was involved with Roblox, we'd have a situation on our hands...

    It has changed with the Browns with the Watson signing, at least to some extent. One of my friends is/was a fanatical Browns fan. He's giving up on the NFL entirely because of this. I get it. When the men running your favorite sports league start to resemble the Mafia, it's tough to stay enthused and just focus on the players and coaches.

    It'd be tough, but it's their life and fandom. I'd just roll with it.

    Y'know, I don't criticize anyone who still watches Snyder's franchise hoping that the dead body will somehow come to life. I did that for two decades. I can't do it anymore. As far as I'm concerned now, the Redskins went defunct in 2000. The Commanders aren't my team and can never be until Snyder goes. I'm give em--and the NFL--another chance if he's gone. It's actually kind of nice having those fall afternoons full of pleasant possibilities again.

    Well, I guess we know who Lucy's holding the football for this year...

    The NFL's inaction on what is now a ridiculously long list of Snyder's sleazy doings bespeaks arrogance. They think you and I will just keep consuming their entertainment product no matter what they do. I, for one, am ready to prove them wrong. At this point, I'm just monitoring the situation to see if they dump the SOB.

    What a long road we've traveled. I still remember being initially reassured by the "belt buckle story" and then getting vaguely uneasy when the words "Vinny Cerrato" first entered our vocabulary. Hard to believe someone could be this evil and this incompetent and still own the team after 23 years.

    I thought Snyder owned the building but not the land. He has a a lease that expires in 2027, so it must just be a ground lease.
  18. profusion
    Or, they push Snyder out of the club and give the "Casablanca" reaction--"I'm shocked to discover there's gambling going on in here!"

    It's Dan Snyder. The laws of reason are different in his noggin.
  20. profusion
    Having Mary Jo White take this on doesn't inspire confidence, unless the NFL wants her to find enough to get rid of Dan.
  21. profusion
    Losing the team that way would be the pure essence of Dan Snyder.
  22. profusion
    The notion of other owners engaging in financial shenanigans cuts both ways. It's just as likely they'd throw Snyder to the wolves to direct attention away from them. Stonewalling makes them look like coconspirators and assures that any investigation goes league-wide.
  23. profusion
    I If there was a skim, then the Redskins might have kept it small enough at any one time so as not to arouse auditors' suspicion. An audit isn't a criminal investigation. They're going to look at the books they're given and only raise a concern if things look off.

    You didn't get that popcorn at FedEx Field, did you? Who knows where that's been?
  25. profusion
    So, you own a business that's already a cash cow and a continually appreciating asset. Why on Earth would you jeopardize that with this kind of tiddlywinks fraud? In other words, it feels perfectly on-brand for Snyder and his reign of error.
