The fact that Snyder is undecided about Brucifer after all this time and 100 losses indicates he doesn't care one bit what any fans think. Either that, or he believes the fans chanting for Bruce's firing, or to sell the team, or holding up banners are all just trolls, which is what Bruce has been telling him for years. He seems content to wait until the team starts winning again and it doesn't seem to matter that if they win it will be an accident, and not resulting from good planning.

I believe that's why Brucifer will always have a job here...but the problem is Bruce doesn't talk to the media either! When something embarrassing has to be addressed, he sends out Doug Will-ams. I think it all started to go south for Dan when he sued that little old lady for her season tickets, and then sued City Paper out of existence because Dave McKenna wrote the hater's guide to Dan Snyder. Around the same time Dan had his fingers all over Six Flags, and instituted a policy that patrons who left the park for any reason (like, to get baby formula for their child) would have to pay full price to come back into the park. He seems to think donating to charities should make him immune from criticism, which is exactly what he said to John Feinstein in a restaurant once. Snyder literally told him that because he was a fellow Jew and that he donated millions to charities that Feinstein should go easy on him. That didn't go over too well with Feinstein. Does this sound like a good person to anyone? Dan hides in his office suite and doesn't talk to the media because he doesn't trust them...but it's his OWN FAULT. He seems incapable of self-reflection or introspection, or humility even. Bruce will always be here in some capacity, I fear.

My fear is that Dan does not realize that it is Bruce who is the cause...it's those darned disloyal fans! Bruce whispers in his ear all the time: it was all Shanny's fault in 2013, it was all McCloughan's fault in 2016, it was all Lafemina's fault in 2018, it was all Gruden's fault in 2019, it was all Alex's fault for breaking his leg last year, and it's all the fans fault for not buying into our BS year after year.

Followed by a rousing rendition of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and an encore of "Dead Man's Chest."

That quote has got to be from Bruce Allen...it sounds like a grumpy "Get Off My Lawn" statement from an older person who is very stuck in their ways and refuses to look for new solutions to problems. Or it could be an older coach on the team who was grumpy about being passed over for promotion in favor of one of the younger whippersnappers. Then again, maybe it wasn't Bruce because they said McVay knew what he was doing...if that was true, why'd they let him leave?

This just crossed my mind last night, and it actually kept me from sleeping for about 30 minutes. Prior to the Battle of Midway in 1942, the US Navy, who had broken the Japanese code, knew the Japanese fleet was going to attack a US base, but they didn't know which one. So they sent out a message to their Pacific bases to report back on specific repairs they needed done. The base at Midway replied that their water purification system was acting up. The US Navy then intercepted a Japanese message saying that the target island was having trouble with their water purification system...so they knew the Japanese were heading towards Midway. It didn't turn out too well for the Japanese...they lost four aircraft carriers and the initiative in the Pacific War. What's this have to do with the Redskins? Suppose Bruce went around saying his 'goodbyes' to people in the office, and giving each individual a slightly different anecdote. That way he could find out who leaked the info about him saying his goodbyes in the first place based on the details or specific language used... and then fire their @ss, further consolidating his power in Ashburn, which is the one thing Bruce Allen is good at. Brucifer would have made a good CIA/KGB case officer with this level of deception. In many ways he's like Rasputin, whispering in the czar's (Snyder's) ear about all the disloyal people working for him and then getting rid of them. Let's hope Brucifer isn't as hard to 'kill' as Rasputin was!

So much for all the reports of Allen being gone before the season ends. All of this reporting is starting to sound like some in the media are trying to drive a narrative...not the first time that's happened. I think we should just all assume that BA is going to stay, that way we can all be ecstatic if and when he does leave. We also haven't heard any leaks of big names going into and out of Ashburn. That doesn't mean there aren't interviews going on...but surely something would have leaked by now. I think BA will stay and Callahan will be coach next year...or Pepper Rodgers.

Bruce was saying goodbye to all the employees he is going to FIRE, that's why.

My hardly-earned money's on Pepper Rodgers.

Don't let Brucifer hear you say that. If he sees Alex Smith as any kind of threat to his GM powers, you can be sure that there will be 'leaks' coming out about what a bad dude Alex Smith really is...Brucifer gets in Snyder's ear and convinces him to get rid of people who are a threat to Brucifer's power. I can imagine Bruce calling a press conference: "We had to let Alex Smith go. Why? Insubordination. He had the nerve to get his leg snapped in a regular season game. We can't have guys like that on the Redskins, who as you know have a damn good culture. We're not just gonna let some guy go out there and get hurt just so he can get paid to not play. Plus he made up all that BS about infections, and wore that stupid Eiffel Tower thing on his leg for MONTHS just trying to get sympathy. We're moving on."

If that's true, then it's what we feared: Snyder wants to keep Allen and thinks a Big Splash coach will fix everything. If it keeps going like this, we'll wind up with Zorn Part Two.

That's a good one, but it's a bit early for April Fool's, don't you think? There are three likely scenarios: 1. Allen stays, Alex Smith is fired because he's a threat to Allen's power, team continues to suck for next decade. 2. Allen is fired/retires, Snyder hires Pepper Rodgers again, who lives over in Reston. He needs a drinking buddy after Brucifer is gone. 3. Allen stays, but is moved from GM to stadium operations, and Doug Will-ams is promoted to GM. But Will-ams has no authority to hire a coach, so Snyder goes after big name retreads like Rex Ryan, Jeff Fisher, and Hue Jackson. Snyder is too addicted to boot-lickers/former Redskins players to truly hire someone from outside the organization, unless it's a Big Splash. The man has learned nothing in 20 years.

Bravo, Trent! But you better be careful...your words could cause Bruce to not pay you. Wait a sec, hold that thought.

Pepper Rodgers lives in Reston...just sayin'.
