BringMetheHeadofBruceAllen

Now we have to wonder who the passed-out woman in the disabled car is. Clearly it wasn't his wife. It's almost like Dwayne was trying to get away from the scene ASAP and misjudged the speed of the traffic. Just speculatin'...

"In 2016, the NFLPA won a legal battle with the league regarding the allegedly improper diversion of funds from the salary-cap fund to a nonexistent stadium-renovation exception." This is a big red flag that this is standard procedure for the entire NFL...it's not just Snyder, they're all in on squeezing money away from the players. Maybe this is what league lawyer Jeff Pash meant when he told Bruce Allen that keeping player salaries low was "doing God's work." I smell a rat. The NFL won't dig deep into this because they're all guilty. Snyder probably won't go anywhere...he can flip and get immunity from the FTC if he agrees to rat out the other owners.

It would be nice if that would happen. But there are just too many fans who down 14 Schlitz beers in the parking lot and scream "LET'S GO WOOOOOOOOO!!! COME ON REDSKOMMANDERS BEAT DALLAS!!! YEAH!! WOOOO!!!!" for this to ever happen.

Realistically, no I don't think he will move the team. But Snyder IS a vindictive little dwarf, who may throw a tantrum if he doesn't get a stadium deal and call in the Mayflower moving vans. If he can't get what he wants, he'll take his ball and go home...or to San Diego.

Say hello to the San Diego Commanders!!

Say hello to the St. Louis Commanders!!

Who does that? "The kind of guy who could wrangle the wills of men like Hockney and McManus. The kind of man who could engineer a police line-up THE KIND OF MAN THAT COULD HAVE KILLED EDIE FINNERAN. They found her yesterday in a hotel in Pennsylvania. Shot twice in the head." Oops, my bad...wrong scumbag! Actually, Keyser Soze would be offended by comparisons to Snyder...

Welp, here comes Sally Jenkins again: We see how Dan Snyder treats customers. Who would build him a stadium? What governor, mayor, or legislator could stand on a dais with Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder for a stadium ribbon-cutting ceremony and assure constituents they will get fair returns and not be fleeced? Only the crookedest pol, at this point. There can be no stadium funds — no tax-free bonds, not so much as a discount on sewer lines — until Snyder has turned over every sticky page of his ledgers. What’s needed is a forensic accounting. Cheating fellow NFL owners. Preying financially on unsuspecting fans. These are just two of the allegations contained in the letter from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform to the Federal Trade Commission requesting an investigation into “potentially unlawful business practices” under Snyder. The contents of the letter are at once stunning and unsurprising. Unsurprising, given that Snyder always seems to find new tar pits. Stunning, in the level of detail contained in the letter’s 20 pages and seriousness of the accusations: A top former employee alleges the flagship franchise of the nation’s capital kept two sets of books, played shell games with revenue, and pocketed refunds (and interest) owed to ticket buyers, all of which could amount to fraud if verified. And if it’s true, it should be verifiable. Of course, there can be no new stadium deal under these circumstances. For that matter, not one cent of public money or favor should go to any NFL owner, until the league itself comes clean and stops acting as a protection racket for Snyder’s sordidness. According to the committee letter, the NFL has met its inquiry into pervasive workplace misconduct in Snyder’s building with “obstruction” and sought to “withhold key documents and information.” In short, the NFL has demonstrated it doesn’t care about the women who work within it. If the league does nothing with these latest allegations, it shows it doesn’t care about even its paying customers. So how can such an entity be trusted by any community? Local legislators should put a hold on every dime until the league has fully complied with the committee’s investigation. That $300 million the state of New York just approved for a new stadium for the Buffalo Bills? It ought to be frozen. The incentive packages local officials in Kansas and Missouri are putting together to woo owner Clark Hunt and the Kansas City Chiefs with a new stadium? They also need to be put on ice. Nobody gets anything until the NFL has cleaned — no, scrubbed — its Washington house and opened it for public inspection. The allegations relayed in the letter to the FTC have a specificity that demands follow-up by someone with subpoena and charging powers, which is presumably why copies also were sent to the attorneys general of Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. No doubt Snyder’s lawyers will say the testimony from longtime head of sales Jason Friedman is that of an embittered former employee, but Friedman didn’t just level vague accusations. He presented email communications from superiors, names, dates, amounts — and “contemporaneous documents,” according to the committee. If, as alleged, the team wrongly retained up to $5 million in security-deposit refunds owed to approximately 2,000 customers, it should be easy enough for an investigator with a badge to find out. If Snyder’s executives were ordered to keep two sets of ledgers and hide game ticket revenue by booking it under events such as a Kenny Chesney concert, as alleged, it also should be a straightforward matter to discover. Put the bookkeepers under oath, and order them to produce all records. It’s called an audit. And at a certain point, it might be well worth submitting every league owner to one. Because it’s an open question as to whether Snyder is an outlier in his various behaviors or whether they are common in the NFL. Where did he get his ideas? Not that Snyder needs any advice on how to gouge. In 2001, his company was fined for “phone slamming,” illegally switching customers’ services without permission. In 2006, his organization foisted bags of old airline peanuts on fans. In 2009, it sued lifelong season ticket holders when they no longer could afford to pay exorbitant seat licenses. And it long perpetuated a sham waiting list for season tickets. All of it was tolerated by his fellow NFL owners, and when his workplace unsurprisingly turned out to be an odious den of rampant serial gropers and graspers who operated with impunity, the NFL buried its internal report. If any of the bookkeeping allegations against Snyder are true, one of the things it means is that Commissioner Roger Goodell’s league office has been as utterly feckless — or deceiving — in its fiscal oversight of him as it was in its sexual harassment oversight. And that begs the fundamental question of whether anyone can trust anything that office does or says. Taxpayers have forked over nearly $7 billion in public funds to the NFL in recent years, and that doesn’t count the huge free expenses in utilities, security and infrastructure that allow teams to operate on game days. By way of thanks, Goodell and the owners relentlessly privatize and black-box their dealings. They soak the public — and then treat that public and its congressional inquirers with literal contempt. The FTC should investigate the whole pack. It’s merely what the league has begged for, with its enabling of Snyder.

Not only that, but I'm just too full from all the popcorn I keep eating! 🍿

Here’s an example of how the “juice” practice allegedly worked. Friedman told the Committee that he “falsely processed” $162,360 in Commanders ticket revenue as arising from a Navy-Notre Dame game at FedEx Field. The team’s former chief financial officer, Steven Choi, allegedly directed Friedman to do it this way, in a May 6, 2014 email. That's easy for Snyder to defend: "Mr. Choi is no longer employed by the team, so this problem has been fixed." Same way scumbags like Larry Allen and Alex Santos escaped any consequences for the cheerleader video. However...if the false season ticket waiting list thing was a scam, then it certainly makes La Femina's firing more suspect.

Letter from six attorneys general lists “potentially unlawful” conduct by the NFL toward female employees (from PFT) New York attorney general Letitia James has posted the letter sent by her office and signed by five of her counterparts to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday. While little more than one page in length, the letter is powerful. The letter expresses “grave concerns” about allegations made by former employees of the NFL and reported on February 8 by the New York Times. The letter focuses mainly on female and minority employees of the NFL itself, either the league office or NFL Network, which is owned by the league. This paragraph merits careful consideration: “We all watched in horror in 2014 when the video of Ray Rice striking, knocking out, and spitting on his fiancé was made public. In the aftermath, you promised to take gender violence seriously and improve the institutional culture for women at the N.F.L. These recent allegations suggest that you have not. Female employees reported that they were subjected to repeated viewings of the Rice video, with commentary by coworkers that the victim had brought the violence on herself. Other women reported that, in a training intended to improve sensitivity on the issue, they were asked to raise their hand to self-identify if they had been victims of domestic violence or knew someone who had. This is NOT doing better. Antidiscrimination laws in many states, including New York, prohibit employers from subjecting domestic violence victims, as well as women and people of color, to a hostile work environment.” If those things are true, that’s a horrible look for the league. The letter also points out that female employees believe they were “held back and criticize for having an ‘aggressive tone’ — an often unfair stereotype of women, especially women of color, who try to advance in a male dominated workplace.” Then there’s this line, which goes beyond claims made by NFL employees and includes some of the allegations made against the Washington Commanders: “Other women described experience unwanted touching from male bosses, attending parties where prostitutes were hired, being passed over or promotions based on their gender, and being pushing out for complaining about discrimination.” The letter also notes that some former female employees have learned “that there were no records of their complaints of gender discrimination.” The letter closes with a paragraph that doesn’t read like an invitation to engage in a dialogue, but a threat/promise: “All of this is entirely unacceptable and potentially unlawful. The N.F.L. must do better — pink jerseys are not a replacement for equal treatment and full inclusion of women in the workplace. Our offices will use the full weight of our authority to investigate and prosecute allegations of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation by employers throughout our states, including at the National Football League.” The NFL should be very concerned about this. It demonstrates that Congress isn’t the only public body about which the league should be concerned. Prosecutors have extensive power and discretion. They can launch aggressive and thorough investigations, exercising the kind of external authority and oversight that the NFL despises. In many respects, it’s overdue. And please spare me the “why do you hate the league from which you make a living?” nonsense. I love the NFL. And I want it to aspire to be better than it’s been. Thus, if current stewards of the league office or any of the teams are falling short of the standard that is routinely applied aggressively to players, that should be explored, exposed, and rectified

It was actually the NFL's top lawyer Jeff Pash who said it was "God's work" to keep player salaries low, in an email to Bruce Allen. Seems to me this demands an investigation too...so long as the lead investigator isn't named Jeff Pash.

Can you imagine Aaron Rodgers with Jim Zorn as the coach?? A-Aron wouldn't be able to hide his disdain on social media for Zorn's "HIP HIP HOORAY!!" cheer.

It's amazing that the Commies haven't had the same opening day starting QB for more than 5 years since Joe Theismann from 1978-85. Since then, we've had Jay Schroeder, Doug Williams, Mark Rypien (5 years 89-93), John Friesz, Heath Shuler, Gus Frerotte, Brad Johnson, Jeff George, Shane Matthews, Patrick Ramsey, Mark Brunell, Jason Campbell, Donovan McNabb, Rex Grossman, RG III, Kirk Cousins, Alex Smith, Case Keenum, Dwayne Haskins, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Carson Wentz as the opening day starters. 🤨 That's a lot of chumps...🥴 In fact, four of the last five opening day QBs have been acquired via trades, including Wentz.

Maybe this is why La Femina was fired...he revealed that the season ticket waiting list was a sham, yes?

Jerruh won't be there to save Snyder since he's up to his eyeballs in paternity suits.

He's done...unless all the other NFL owners are doing the same thing to keep player salaries low.

Looks like Jerry will have some 'splaining to do to Mrs. Jones...what a scumbag!! 😆 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10676499/Cowboys-owner-Jerry-Jones-paid-nearly-3million-woman-suing-paternity.html Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has already paid nearly $3 million to the woman who filed a paternity suit against him on March 3, including a $70,000 Range Rover for her $33,000 'Sweet 16' party nine years ago, according to an Arkansas attorney who says he facilitated the transactions. Jones's alleged payments to the plaintiff, 25-year-old Alexandra Davis, also included full tuition at Southern Methodist University, Little Rock attorney Don Jack told ESPN on Thursday. 'On numerous occasions I have made payments on behalf of Mr. Jones to Cindy and Alex Davis,' Jack said in a statement, referencing the plaintiff and her mother, Cynthia Davis Spencer. Jones, a 79-year-old married father of three, has not confirmed or denied that he is Davis's father. However, Davis's 16th birthday party was featured on the reality TV show 'Big Rich Texas,' which included footage of her receiving a new, white Range Rover. Jones's attorneys accused Davis of extortion while moving to have her lawsuit dismissed in a filing earlier this week. Davis alleged in her lawsuit that when she was 1, Jones agreed to pay her mother $375,000 in exchange for their silence about Davis's parentage. The suit claims Jones organized two trust funds for Davis in Arkansas, where Davis Spencer was living and working for American Airlines at the time. Jones and Spencer Davis allegedly had an affair in the mid-1990s. Jack, a longtime friend of Jones, confirmed that he reached a deal on the billionaire's behalf in 1995 to pay Spencer Davis $375,000, adding that the monthly child support payments 'ultimately totaled over $2 million.' In the March 3 filing, Davis asked the Dallas County court to rule that Jones's agreement with her mother was unenforceable in Texas and to confirm that he is, in fact, her father. Her attorney, Andrew A. Bergman, has maintained that Davis is not seeking money, but instead wants to be recognized as his daughter after being ignored for years. However, Jack claims that Davis and her mother sought $20 million from Jones in a letter that she shared with the Arkansas attorney at a Dallas steakhouse 'three or four' years ago. 'In that meeting, Alex read to me a personal letter she had drafted to Jerry Jones in which she expressed her dissatisfaction with what she had received and sought $20 million,' Jack told ESPN. 'She stated that if that amount was paid, she would not bother Mr. Jones again and would keep their relationship confidential.' The letter has not been reviewed or otherwise corroborated by ESPN. 'Let's see the letter,' Bergman said to ESPN on Thursday. 'And let's see the evidence that more money was paid beyond those agreements. And I would ask why? Is Jerry saying that money is a substitute for being a father? Do the millions make him a good father and do they make my client an extortionist? Don't forget the money was contingent on her being silent.' Jones spokesman Jim Wilkinson declined to comment when asked by ESPN if the Cowboys owner is Davis's father. Both Jack and Wilkinson also declined to release a copy of the agreement, which they say has resulted in $1.3 million in payments to Davis and her mother over the last 25 years and calls for future payments when she turns 26 and 28. Davis, who works as an aide to US congressman Ronny Jackson (Republican-Texas), has declined to comment publicly on the matter. Jack claims that Davis and Spencer Davis would occasionally ask for more money from Jones, which is why the Cowboys owner exceeded the amount he agreed to pay in the trust agreement by nearly $1 million. Those overages included Davis's $33,000 'Sweet 16' party, which was aired on 'Big Rich Texas,' as well as the Range Rover, and nearly $50,000 on a pair of vacations. 'The facts clearly show that millions of dollars have been paid,' Wilkinson said, 'and on top of that, a $20 million shakedown attempt was made. I think this speaks for itself as to the motives.' Wilkinson also accused Bergman of demanding money for Davis to settle the case. 'If you want this just to go away, it's going to cost you Zeke or Dak money,' Bergman allegedly told Jones's attorney Levi A. McCathern, Wilkinson said to ESPN. 'Zeke and Dak' refers to Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott and quarterback Dak Prescott, who are the team's two highest-paid players. 'There was never a discussion about a nonmonetary resolution,' Wilkinson told ESPN. 'Money was always part of the deal.' Bergman denied the claim to ESPN. 'It is absolutely false -- and they know it -- that I ever demanded money on behalf of Alex,' Bergman said. 'They said, 'What does she want?' And I said she wants to establish parentage, and Jerry can do it cooperatively or not. 'Levi said Jerry's not going to do that because of Mama Gene,' Bergman continued, referencing Jones's wife of 59 years, Eugenia. 'Levi said Jerry said Alex will never be part of our family in a picture when we raise money for the Salvation Army. That's the truth.' Wilkinson denied that McCathern ever said that to Bergman. 'Now they've changed their story yet again,' Wilkinson said. 'First it wasn't about money. Now it is about money. And now they are on three sides of a two-sided issue. They are all over the map here. Pick a story and stick with it. This is clownish.'

Yup. His toxic bullying personality drives away competent people, so the only ones left who can tolerate that abuse are all yes-men who tell him what he wants to hear. This directly impacts the team because incompetent people are put in charge of coaching, evaluating personnel, drafting players, treating employees with respect, and team/uniform rebrandings. Vlad 'the Invader' Putin has the same problem. But these kind of people prefer the suck-ups to being told the truth, so they eventually go down with the ship. He won't sell. He will double down like Putin on his mistake. They will have to drag him kicking and screaming from Ashburn, along with his overpriced cigars. Two sets of books? Maybe he needed one to track all the payouts to people he's sexually harassed.

Welp, the cat's out of the bag...not sure how Goodell will spin this one: Dan Snyder already back day-to-day with Commanders, source says, despite what Goodell contends Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder has resumed his involvement in day-to-day operations of the franchise, a high-placed source with knowledge of the situation said Wednesday — refuting NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell‘s remarks from a day earlier. Goodell told reporters Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings in Florida that the embattled billionaire would not be involved in day-to-day business for the “foreseeable future,” and that he and Snyder would talk about the owner’s role at “some point.” Tanya Snyder, Dan’s wife, represented the Commanders at the annual meetings as she holds the titles of co-CEO and co-owner. The source, who asked not to be named so he could speak on private matters freely, said Dan Snyder has no restrictions on what he can and can’t do in overseeing the franchise, reiterating the owner has worked on day-to-day matters. For instance, Snyder was “heavily involved” when the team discussed acquiring quarterback Carson Wentz — something coach Ron Rivera even alluded to after the trade was finalized. “One of the things I really do appreciate was in talking to the Snyders and really them just saying, ‘Hey, if this is what it’s going to take, let’s get it done,’” Rivera said this month when asked about the team’s decision to take on Wentz’s $28.3 million cap hit. Last July, the league said Snyder would be voluntarily giving up day-to-day control of the franchise for “several months” when it unveiled the findings of Beth Wilkinson’s investigation of the team’s sexual misconduct scandal. The NFL fined the team $10 million after more than 40 women said they were sexually harassed while working for the club. Dan Snyder, the league said, would still oversee long-term projects like the Commanders’ pursuit of a new stadium, while Tanya Snyder would represent the club at league meetings. Just prior to the announcement, Washington elevated Snyder to co-CEO. This week, Tanya Snyder was among the small contingent that Washington sent to represent the team. Prior to Goodell’s press conference, another source familiar with the situation said Dan Snyder was not there because he was out of the country on business. The league did not respond to a request asking if Dan Snyder was prohibited from overseeing day-to-day operations. Upon the NFL’s announcement over the summer, the billionaire “laid low” and spent the majority of his time working toward the stadium search, the source said. But as months went by, the person added, Snyder began to gradually become more involved. Indeed, Rivera has mentioned periodically that he still talks to Snyder about issues regarding the team. The coach told The Team 980 in January that he met with the Snyders for an end-of-the-season meeting. And in October, on the same station, Rivera even mentioned chatting with Dan Snyder in the team’s facility. The latter contradicts Goodell’s remark to reporters as the commissioner said he “didn’t believe” Snyder had been at the team’s headquarters since Tanya Snyder became co-CEO. “It’s always good to talk with Mr. Snyder,” Rivera said. “We just visit and chat about what’s happening, so it’s been real positive.” “How often do you talk to him?” the host replied. “Probably about once or twice per week, just depending on the situation and circumstances,” Rivera said, “if we run into each other around the facility or at the game or at the stadium or something like that. Or I’ll call, he’ll call. You know, we’ll talk.” Dan Snyder was seen at Washington’s games last season. He also made brief public remarks last month when the team unveiled its rebrand to the Commanders. Dan Snyder was not in attendance, however, for Wentz’s introductory press conference earlier this month, while his wife was. Wentz’s presser came weeks after the NFL opened a new investigation into the owner. Tiffani Johnston, a former employee and cheerleader, told members of Congress that Dan Snyder inappropriately touched her thigh at a work dinner and later tried to coax her into his limo — leading the NFL to hire former U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White to look into the matter. Johnston did not participate in the league’s first investigation. Snyder denied the accusations. With a source claiming that Snyder is still involved in day-to-day operations, this is not the first time that the league and the Commanders have clashed publicly. Before the league launched its new probe, Washington put out a statement that it was conducting its own probe — causing the NFL to interject just hours after the announcement. Goodell told reporters he could not “see any way” a team could investigate itself. The NFL, in a letter to the House Oversight and Reform Committee, also blamed the Commanders for blocking access to requested documents related to the congressional probe in February — a week after Johnston’s claim surfaced. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/mar/30/roger-goodell-wrong-source-says-dan-snyder-already/

Some may not know it, but the lyrics to the Hail song originally said "fight for old Dixie" and not "fight for old DC." George Preston Marshall was from West Virginia and was a massive racist...he didn't integrate the team until 1962, fifteen years after everyone else did. Not coincidentally, the Skins were easily one of the worst teams in the NFL from 1946-62. The Skins were the southern-most NFL team until the Cowboys pupated...and Marshall viciously fought against the new team in Dallas from even existing because he wanted all the 'Dixie' states to himself.

Ukraine approves of this message. Besides, was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

This is likely due to the witch hunt that is going on in Ashburn. Tanya is desperately trying to find anyone who complained about her husband in an effort to root them out. Just like all tyrannical dictatorships...Putin, take note!

Agreed. It's sickening that the league continues to profit off of women with their Pink October Breast Cancer promotion, while at the same time looking the other way at toxic misogynistic cultures (WFT/Commanders) and players like Deshaun Watson, who despite having 22 civil cases pending against him was given the largest guaranteed contract in NFL history. Female employees of the NFL should stage a one-day strike in protest...and see how much gets done around Goodell's office!
