PCS Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 And hence why I posted that Jumbo. I find it interesting that on the one hand Mark takes shots at Dan Snyder for certain business practices while admitting to practicing at best questionable ones himself.

Well I would say you subtly but definitely made the point. I'm not trashing May in general, and I believe people should "see the movie/hear the song/ read the book" before doing a sweeping critique. So I was very specific with my wording. I also am skeptical in general re: any Snyder potshots and of the people who utilize that type of stuff for personal gain.

turtle Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I just got done reading the book. I'll say this I appricated the "inside" stories and the rare insight of joe gibb's anger. His profile on past players were interesting. I just didn't like his bashing synder and the organization at the end of the book. Where did his bitterness come from?

CRobi21 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I am currently in the middle of it right now, now I have some redskins pleasure when I get bored in school. Awesome book so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlitzFiftySix Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I thought he was on the anti Redskins bus these days. I've seen him bash the Redskins alot on television and read some not so nice quotes regarding the current organization. IMO, I'm not putting a dime in the pocket of this turncoat.

Barney B Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I met him years ago in Georgetown, doing some charity work. On that day, he was a jerk. I suspect he still is. Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsDukes Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 two incredibly large groups of ego's. The HOGS vs THE Danny. At least the Hogs have some street cred. Yes, but Danny could buy the street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazhog Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Thanks for the review, I'll pick it up... I like alot of you... don't like the negative remarks about Snyder, how would May know anything about Snyder??? He was long gone by then! I believe that I remember Bostic talking one time about what a brown nose Mark May was with the coaching staff... Anbody remember this??? Bostic (I believe) brought up when he was doing broadcasting at Redskins games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topazskins Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 :logo: I purchased 3 copies, one for each extended family member who loves skins from the 80's. Would love to have Mark May sign it. I could not put this book down once I started reading it. At the end, the part about Snyder is an eye opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvkeeper19 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Listening to Mark May talk, if I didn't know any better, I might think he'd been a Cowboy during his playing days. I'm also interested to see why he's so down on the 'Skins now that he's in broadcasting. Is that addressed in the book? I love reading about the glory days. Even if it's coming from somebody who isn't the fan I am, I think I still might pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethrodsp Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I suspect that Mark May is not alone among former Redskins in his opinion of Dan Snyder. Snyder is a businessman before a football man, and that just rubs some people the wrong way. I like Mark May and hold no ill will toward him for expressing his feelings on the current Redskins front office. I will buy the book and am looking forward to reading it.

StevieInferior Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 About a year ago they talked about this book on the John Thompson show. Doc Walker was livid and insinuated that mark was a traitor and fabricated many of the stories. Does he take a cheap shot at Doc in the book or something> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Mark May trashes the Redskins? Who cares? May retired a Cardinal anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Diggler Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Virtually every "fact" and "incident" May dredges up in his final chapter is flat out untrue. He revisits urban legends without any attempt by him or his editors to check out the accuracy. Snyder should sue him. Can't say I surprised. He's always been a bitter sack of ****. No way does he get one cent of mine. I'd buy a book by Michael Irvin before Mark May if Irvin ever learns how to read and write. There will always be anti-Snyder football fans out there who love reading the urban legends and propagation of myths (like Snyder choses the players for his "fantasy football team") by the Danny-hating media. Even a title won't change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
