    A week ago, if you'd said the names "Dontrelle Inman" and "Isaiah Wright," I'm not sure I would have known who the heck you were talking about.

    Okay, Haskins is clearly scrambled right now. That was just terrible.

    Trevor Lawrence in burgundy and gold is starting to look like a distinct possibility.
  4. profusion
    We'll, that was unfortunate...

    The ball had already bounced off Apke's facemask by the time OBJ got his arm in there. No way Apke gets it.

    Not paying the dividend could be passive aggressive behavior, but those kinds of moves also sometimes indicate financial distress. I don't know anything about anything, but from the outside I'm guessing there's a whole lot more that has yet to be reported. Dan has a knack for courting trouble, and he sure succeeded this time.

    For a suspension to have any effect beyond PR value, it'd have to be long like the one given to George Steinbrenner. Prohibiting any contact or decisionmaking with the team for two years might allow the positive changes we're seeing actually take root. Of course, Danny could come back and fire everyone, so maybe it doesn't matter.
  8. profusion
    A pretty good idea.

    I would have preferred the stripes on the helmet with no logo over what they're doing this season. Either the numbers or a "W" are too collegiate for me. Eh, it's not a huge deal.

    Yes, I believe they were teammates at Arkansas.

    In retrospect, it's amazing that Jerry lucked into Jimmy Johnson and that whole early '90s Cowboys dynasty. If he hadn't been such an egotistical tool, it might have lasted years longer.

    Yes, I think Gase is very likely an in-season firing. What a disaster the Jets are.

    Remember, Northern Virginia and the Tidewater cities are full of people from elsewhere.
  14. profusion
    True, and that also applies to the Texans, who I forgot earlier. The Skins might own Virginia but for the large expat population in Northern Virginia and the Tidewater.

    Rams, Bucs, Jaguars, Bills and Bengals aren't represented at all, either. Colts own Indiana on this map. Pretty telling that the Redskins went from being the "Team of the South" in 1960 to being, well, the team of absolutely nowhere.

    It's stunning to think that we're discussing something that happened more than a generation ago, really a generation and a half. You have to be over 40 to truly remember the Redskins' golden age, and almost 50 to have seen all of it. That's a big indictment of Dan Snyder, even without anything else.
  17. profusion
    At some point, you wonder long the other owners will essentially be willing to entirely write off the DC market. The franchise is dead in the water as long as Snyder owns it. It's theoretically possible that that they could start winning, and this is certainly a town that loves a winner and will excuse just about anything that attaches to a winner. Pretty unlikely, though.

    It'd be hilarious if Snyder's idiotic defamation suit ends up being the thing that triggers his downfall.
  19. profusion
    That PFT article says that Snyder has separate proceedings underway in India, California and Virginia over this. If he spent half that much effort trying to improve the organization, maybe he wouldn't be in this mess. Okay, well he probably still would be, but still...😄

    I have no doubt the league would like Dan gone tomorrow. However, the entire system is set up to prevent that from happening. This is sort of uncharted territory for the NFL. Jerry Richardson had enough shame to sell before the league had to make a decision. The other slimy owner behavior in recent years hasn't impacted basic league perception the way Snyder's current predicament does. I can't imagine already being a billionaire and yet still wanting to continue being this miserable. I guess that 1/32 share of the national TV contracts must be with it to him.

    The 2000 Redskins were a fantasy football team, not a real one. The signings disrupted the chemistry they had going. Signing Jeff George when Brad Johnson had just put in a huge season was inexcusable. The Deion signing didn't bother me as much. CBs always live out there on an island. Plus, it was the sheer number of big name signings, even if many would have been justified individually.
  22. profusion
    Yeah, Norv was never going to get any team over the hump, and that 1998 team might have been dangerous with more disciplined coaching. 1999 was a correction, though, and 2000 is where it should have been Lombardi Trophy time.
  23. profusion
    1993 has special significance to me because it's the year I moved to DC after growing up a Redskins fan in another part of the country. You can imagine how excited I was to finally get to see the Skins on TV every week. Needless to say, the excitement didn't last. 😄 The team's MO from the day George Allen was hired all the way through the Gibbs era was to trade picks for veterans and field an expensive and experienced roster. It was always going to be a tough transition away from that to accommodate free agency and the salary cap. The weak leadership of Casserly, Turner and a faltering JKC made the transition much harder. People forget, though, that the team won the division in 1999 with a reloaded, exciting roster. If John Cooke had gotten the team, it's possible they would have been set for another run of success.

    Okay, so name me one present figure in sports who is more hated than Dan. He's graduating into Donald Sterling territory, with the exception that the Clippers were an irrelevant joke before Sterling bought them. Snyder has taken a beloved civic institution and turned it into rubbish.
  25. profusion
    Dan has made a nice return on his investment, but the cost was becoming the most hated man in this region and a national joke. The NFL has probably already peaked as a business. A more savvy person would cash out and retire to the yacht to pursue other opportunities and escape the spotlight. Not our Dan, though. He'll show us!!
