  1. The wrath of the Football Gods should not be taken lightly. Look at the Lions...they traded QB Bobby Layne in 1958 after winning three titles in the 50s, and he cursed them saying they wouldn't win another one for 60 years. Since they won't win one in 2022 either, that makes 64 years... It took the Bills almost 20 years to recover from the Curse of Doug Flutie. Flutie was the QB through most of 1999 and they were 10-5, when goofball coach Wade Phillips switched to sweatband-wearing Rob Johnson as the starting QB. Because of his contract or because he had a stronger arm...never mind that Flutie just won games. Johnson's next game was...the Music City Miracle, which the Bills lost and they missed the playoffs for the next 17 seasons. The 'Skins were rightfully cursed for not signing any black players until 1962...15 years after the rest of the NFL did. They had 3 winning seasons in 16 years and no playoff appearances. You don't hear anything from the Ghost of Missed Extra Points any more, though. You know..."that missed extra point will come back and haunt them." Not since they started allowing the two-point conversion in 1994.
  2. Snyder has demonstrated he doesn't care about the fans, only their money. As long as folks keep showing up to the stadium every week, no matter who they're rooting for, he's happy. Theoretically he would still make loads of $$$ even if NO fans showed up every week...so why should he care what we think? Maybe they can investigate whether the railing collapse was actually Snyder's attempt to assassinate Jalen Hurts...
  3. If the fanbase hates Snyder now, just wait until he threatens to rename the team St. Louis/Oakland/San Diego Redwolves in order to get the taxpayers to pay for his new stadium.
  4. Stale peanuts from a defunct airline. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2011/02/washington-nfl-owner-daniel-snyder-finds-another-embarrassing-no-win-project-to-spend-his-money-on.html
  5. That's only true so long as Goodell doesn't feel threatened. Just look what happened to Chris Cuomo at CNN...Zucker protected him until the scandal got too close to him, then he canned Cuomo. Obviously this is not the same thing, as Goodell can't 'fire' Snyder since he works for him. It's truly up to the other owners...if they think this scandal is going to smear them then they will have to act. You would think that witness intimidation would warrant a pretty severe response...but maybe most of these owners would have done the same thing as Snyder. Money can buy a lot of private investigators.
  6. I hear there's a guy named Urban Meyer who may be available soon. He'd be a perfect fit for the culture that Dan has created.
  7. Considering how high RG Me holds himself in his own regard, I wouldn't be surprised if he sexually harassed himself.
  8. I don't think that's very far from the truth. My prediction is that RG's book will claim that Bruce Allen is bi and sexually harassed him. How else could a multimillion dollar QB be 'harassed' in the first place, when he was treated like a God in the locker room? But I wouldn't trust anything RG3 says in the first place...the guy clearly has a history of selfishness, entitlement, and dishonesty. Wasn't there an article recently that claimed his Baylor teammates hated his guts?
  9. This is true, and explains why some teams (Lions, Jets, Browns, Jags) continue to stink for DECADES...unless massive changes are made. It happened with this team before from 1946-70...25 years in the wilderness with only 4 winning seasons and no playoffs, due mostly in part to George Preston Marshall's racism and tight wallet. Marshall also made most of his draft picks after buying a copy of Street & Smiths, too. Snyder clearly isn't much better with his RG III and coming-off-the-yacht-to-overrule-the-coach pick in Haskins. Teams mismanaged like this may occasionally get into the playoffs and make a run (2017 Jaguars), but quickly fade back to their losing ways. And the jury is still out on the Bengals and Browns this year. The Colts would have been in that list of ineptitude if they hadn't drafted Peyton Manning in 1998 and Andrew Luck in 2012. And speaking of Haskins...from last Sunday: The NFL insider tweeted on Monday that Haskins — who entered Sunday’s Lions game as the backup to Mason Rudolph with Ben Roethlisberger on the COVID-19/reserve list — spent the warmup period “throwing lousy passes and checking his phone,” leading to derision from his coaches. However, some questioned whether Kinkhabwala’s reporting was fair. Ex-NFL player and current Fox Sports analyst Bucky Brooks suggested it was possible Haskins was picking music to “help find [his] ‘zone'” before the game. Kinkhabwala, however, shut down those suggestions. “It’s of course possible, Bucky,” she tweeted. “But it just so happens I was standing next to multiple members of the team’s staff who were pointing out his lack of focus, his sub-par warm-up passes and their disappointment in his maturation. That’s why I tried to illustrate: he’s not the savior.”
  10. You are too kind...with this front office, they would probably announce it on Tuesday. Champ Bailey’s recent comments tragically sum up Dan Snyder era https://riggosrag.com/2021/11/18/champ-baileys-recent-comments-tragically-dan-snyder-era/ “Now, let me be clear. I never asked to leave Washington,” Bailey said. “Remember, I was traded. I didn’t like become a free agent and left willingly. It was, I was traded. So, I just want to be clear, like, I never asked for a trade. That just wasn’t my thing. He (Dan Snyder) wanted to trade me. And I wasn’t surprised by that, because I was never — I wasn’t drafted by Snyder. Like, that just wasn’t, it just wasn’t the case. He didn’t draft me. He bought the team after I got on the team. So, it is what it is. That’s the nature of the business. And in hindsight, looking back, it was the best thing that happened to me in my career. But it wasn’t what I asked for.”
  11. The way this team did it was like having my grandpa pass away and for the only comment to be "he was a pretty cool dude...the buffet is ready in the next room." In the grand scheme of things, the semi-snub of Huff wouldn't amount to much if it was just a one-off mistake or for someone who only played a few years...but this team continues to justify the criticism it receives because by this point they should have been on top of things...if it mattered to them, which it clearly doesn't, as evidence by the fact the team only had one person in HR...and she was part-time to boot!
  12. That's because this team doesn't care about any of the fans over age 30. If they did, they wouldn't have ignored Huff's death or screwed up the Sean Taylor event. But a rapper coming to play at halftime of a game two weeks away? That's urgent! The Cousins thing was a fiasco because of Bruce Allen, who would have been a decent GM...if the NFL was tuck in year 1962. He couldn't decided whether to keep him for 2 years, then got mad that "Kurt" wanted to get paid a fair wage for his position and abilities. Who call's a press conference to complain about their QB wanting more money? Imagine if they had locked him up for a few years, at least the QB position wouldn't be the disaster it has been for the last 4 years.
  13. You're right, because past performance is predictive of future performance. London Flecther would agree too. If Sonny has been critical of Danny in the past, don't be surprised if they put up a blurb several days after the funeral thanking him for "some quarterbacking."
  14. I doubt that Joe Gibbs was the only person with input on hiring Ron. I'm sure Tanya had her input as well. Probably the Snyder kid(s) too. 😁
  15. I think the best way for this team to put it's racist/sexist past behind it is to hire Jon Gruden as coach and trade for DeShaun Watson at QB. And then bring back the name and throwback uniforms from the 1982 Super Bowl champs. 😉
  16. What's shocking (well, not really) is that the billionaire NFL owners and their legal counsel actually thought Goodell's explanation would be swallowed without question..."let's blame the victim's request for anonymity on our refusal to invest in black magic markers and printers. Seems legit." I know Goodell is just a stoolie for his employers, but this last press conference just confirmed it for anyone who thought this suck-up had any principles, character or morals like the commissioners of the other three major sports. I'm sure Paul Tagliabue (who DID have principles and ethics) is rolling in his grave right now... ...wait, he's still alive. Scratch that.
  17. Imagine if this was Russia. Comrade Goodell would dispatch some of his 'thugs' at the behest of the owners. We would start hearing about a series of 'unfortunate accidents' in the news...such as Beth Wilkinson falling down an open elevator shaft, or Jon Gruden tripping and falling out of a window on the 40th floor, or the two cheerleader reps having their brakes slashed, or Bruce Allen 'committing suicide' by shooting himself in the back of the head twice. (I'm sure Allen could pull this off, I have faith in him.) Seriously, The Shield must be that serious if they honestly thought the public would buy what that idiot Goodell was selling last night. No written report because they're 'protecting the poor victims'?? Really? Nobody has told Goodell that there's an invention called a black marker that can be used to redact names from a written report? He's dumber than I thought, and last night's clown show clearly shows him to the be worst sports commissioner in history...where's Paul Tagliabue when you need him?
  18. One would like to assume that if Dan was such a HUGE Redskins Belt Buckle-wearing fanboy growing up that this kind of statement from one of his childhood heroes would have had an effect on him and caused him to have a "step towards the light, Daniel" moment. Of course, that would require us to assume that Dan is even AWARE of Riggo saying this in the first place...and that's a big if, since he has handlers who likely shield him from this type of content. I wouldn't be surprised if one of his cronies casually mentioned to him that we pulled our troops out of Afghanistan, and Dan responded "when did we put troops into Afghanistan?" But that "come to Jesus/Buddha/Yahweh" moment didn't happen. And there's not a single player from his childhood team that wants to hang around with him, other than possibly Theismann.
  19. Would this surprise anyone at this point? https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/10/18/cowboys-dak-prescott-nfl-week-6-fmia-peter-king/ : "I don’t know where the emails came from. Several smart people in the league think the leaks come from the Snyder camp. Maybe he feels steamrolled by the league in its July penalty, though it was certainly exactly the opposite. Maybe (probably) he’s so anti-Allen that he’d have a jihad out for him and anyone close to him, which Gruden is. Whoever did it, this point remains, as one prominent plugged-in source told me: “The discipline against Snyder was shockingly light. You suspend Tom Brady when you never proved without a doubt he deflated the footballs, and you don’t suspend Snyder for running that kind of operation in Washington. And Gruden gets ruined. It’s not like Roger’s protecting a guy who’s good for the league anyway. Where’s the fairness?” Yes, this came from NFL shill Peter King, so who knows how accurate it is...but I wouldn't put it past someone in Snyder's "camp" (likely Tanya, who has a history of defending her hubbie on burner social media accounts, and since Dan apparently doesn't even have an email address...) to have done this to try and make Bruce Allen the fall guy for the "damn good" culture in Ashburn. On the other hand, why bother releasing it now, when Snyder has already been punished and Allen likely will never get another NFL job anyway? Unless, of course, the NFL is considering further punishment for Danny Boy behind closed doors...
  20. The sad thing is that even if every single WFT fan has an epiphany and refused to go to the games or buy Danny's overpriced shirts, watery beer, and stale pretzels...he would STILL be raking in the $$$ because of the NFL's TV contracts. They don't even need fans to come to the stadium to make a healthy profit. And we wonder why the Snyders don't care about what any of us say or do. The only solution to this kind of problem were if NFL teams were owned by the public like the Packers are.
  21. That's 100% spot on, and shouldn't be surprising considering that Snyder was the same creep who sold stale peanuts from a defunct airline to Skins fans...and sold "commemorative" 9/11 hats for $24: https://www.businessinsider.com/the-14-worst-business-practices-of-redskins-owner-daniel-snyder-2010-11
  22. But Tanya's in control now, so everything will be FINE.... 🤪😐🙄🤥
  23. Here's the original story. Imagine having the amount of money the Snyders have, and still being cheapskates when it comes to paying an employee...a trend we saw many times, just ask LaVar Arrington and Bruce Allen: Nanny, $44,880; Redskins Owner, 0 By THE NEW YORK TIMES A nanny who said that Daniel M. Snyder, owner of the Washington Redskins, had underpaid her won $44,880 last week when a Montgomery County Circuit Court in Maryland agreed that she had not been compensated for overtime hours she had worked. Juliette Mendonca sued Mr. Snyder for $60,000 in overtime that she said she had earned while caring for the three children of Mr. Snyder and his wife, Tanya. This was on top of the $162,000 she was paid during that same period, from April 2003 to November 2004. She testified that Mr. Snyder confronted her late one night in 2004, saying: “I pay you more than my Redskins park people! I can’t afford to pay you like this!” Mr. Snyder, who is also chairman of the amusement park giant Six Flags, did not take the stand. But his wife testified that Ms. Mendonca could not have worked all the hours she claimed. They offered her a $65,000 salary, but she refused it, preferring to work on an hourly basis, the couple’s lawyer said. The jury did not explain how it arrived at the amount of the award, according to Ms. Mendonca’s lawyer, Frank J. Coviello, but it rejected her demand for damages of $180,000 in the case. There is no word so far on whether the Snyders will appeal.
  24. This is very telling, and doesn't bode well for the fanbase's hopes for this franchise...at least as far as culture is concerned. Tanya made it all about HER and HER POOR FAMILY without acknowledging any of the victims...lawsuits are sure to be coming, especially since the NFL didn't do the right thing. I hope the WP keeps digging...the NFL will look quite incompetent if it's discovered that Tanya helped to smear and shame the victims. History is FULL of examples of women enabling the actions of horrible men and attacking their female victims: Evita Peron, Margarete Himmler, Eva Braun, Hillary Clinton, Amal Ahmed al-Sadah (UBL's first wife), Jiang Qing, Nadezhda Alliluyeva (Mrs. Stalin), Madame Thieu in Vietnam...the list goes on.
