Didn't that one picture of the railing clearly show a failed (and really ugly) weld? I doubt this is the first time that fans were pressed up against the railing trying to greet the players. Heck, you see it all the time on TV at game's end. Let's face it, the stadium isn't being maintained or fixed and is falling apart. It's quintessentially Snyder to go cheap on the maintenance. I remember reading that Redskins Park looked kind of shabby a few years ago.

They were Eagles fans, so my compassion level is low.

I refuse to try and psychoanalyze this nitwit. His actions indicate that he does want to win. He's just terrible at it and has no talent for listening.

Next Day Thread: No Effort Version - Dallas vs. WFT II
profusion replied to KDawg's topic in The Stadium
I think it's as simple as the last month of craziness finally catching up with the team. Dead on their feet, and with a preseason roster, to boot. The starters who played just aren't dominant enough to make up for all the rest of it. -
The pressing issue is player acquisition, not coaching. It's not just the QB situation, either. Rivera is the guy in charge, and this year's draft/FA results certainly call that into question. It's doubtful he'd accept a demotion to just HC. Even if he would, there's no evidence Dan is capable of hiring a good chief football executive. Even if that miraculously happened, there's no evidence that guy would be allowed to do what's needed. It will always come back to Snyder, sad to say.

Eh, could be. I'm always suspicious of those anonymously sourced stories. My guess is that the NFL wants Bezos more than he wants them. It's all fantasy anyway. The NFL isn't going to force Dan to sell.

Game Day Thread: 2021 SUPERBOWL - RAMS VS. BENGALS!!!
profusion replied to zCommander's topic in Around the NFL
I'm in San Antonio for the holidays and had the same problem with the KC game going to the bitter end. It used to be that local affiliates could switch on their own unless they were one of the home markets for the game. Don't know if that changed, though. -
Game Day Thread: 2021 SUPERBOWL - RAMS VS. BENGALS!!!
profusion replied to zCommander's topic in Around the NFL
How did the Steelers get to 7-6-1? They're horrible. -
Bezos could probably have a team tomorrow if he wanted one. Is there anything other than pure speculation to indicate that he does?

Maybe the Cowboys can bring in some functional sewage pipes the next time they visit FedEx Field.

Next Day Thread: WFT (and their benches) vs. Philly
profusion replied to KDawg's topic in The Stadium
Next Man Up has its limits, and the WFT exceeded them last night. I can't get too down on the results. -
Perhaps one impediment to the league doing anything is that the WFT has become as relevant to the league's marketing and image as the Jaguars or Jets. Just another third-tier team that neither adds appreciably to league revenue nor detracts significantly from it. The Raiders have been a clownshow for many years, but their marketing impact remains huge--which I'm sure helped put pressure on them to ditch Jon Gruden ASAP. It's been 30 years since the Redskins/WFT had anything like that kind of importance.

Sure, but Jerry built his fortune in the oil and gas business. I guarantee he's done things that would make Dan seem like a choirboy.

I have to think that Jerry Jones is capable of being nastier and more threatening than Snyder if it comes down to that. To shut down Dan, the league would need to threaten disclosures that would financially ruin him and possibly expose him to criminal liability. Throw the legal risk back in his face, basically. Short of that, they might be stuck with him unless the business costs of keeping him are higher than the risk of cutting him loose.

That's a very good question, and I don't pretend to know for sure. He was going to sell anyway, wasn't he? I think if he'd dug his heels, the owners wouldn't have taken action against him. It's possible that the NFL is scared of more and worse coming out if they go after Dan, thus making it into a bigger problem affecting other owners.

For the owners to be spurred into doing something about Snyder, this has to stop being a big WFT story and start being a big NFL story. That hasn't happened yet. It's big news here, but not nationwide. There've been stories, but it hasn't gotten long-term traction. The other owners don't really care whether Washington has a competent football team, or even an ethically run one. They just want to avoid trouble for themselves.
