red zone Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Did anyone catch Coach Gibbs post game stories? He started by saying it's hard to tell behind the scenes type stories when you are mired in a losing streak. He went on to say how proud he was of the players for hanging in there during the tough stretches. He sighted numerous players who continued to play through injuries in a season in which it would be easy to just stay in the training room. He went on to tell a story about Dan Snyder. He said when Rashad Bauman's infant daughter passed away a few weeks back, some of the players were in a quandry about attending the funeral. Commercial flights were going to make the timing of a round trip flight to Oregon awfully difficult. When Dan Snyder got wind of the dilema, he ponied up his jet. Problem solved. I have to believe players want to win for an owner who has their backs like that. Snyder doesn't get much positive ink. I thought he deserved some. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayprils Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I heard that also. Thank you Dan for being a gentlemen. You gotta want to win for this guy. I use to blame him for everything but, I take everything back and you will never hear me say anything bad about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan93 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 On the post game radio show, Jacoby said that he thinks Gibbs may have asked Synder to "pony up" his plane for the players. Either way, it was a good jesture by Synder and if true, Gibbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Money Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Yeah that was a great sound-byte!!! I still hate that everything costs more at a game but where else can you get Guinness Draft and margaritas on tap at a game???? Snyder rocks!

CHUBAKAH Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I have never said a bad word about Snyder. You have got to give the guy a lot of credit for putting what he thought was the best chances for a team to win. In time, I think a lot of the Snyder bashers will at least admit that he made the golden choice to get Gibbs here now, and Spurrior, and Shotty in the past. I respect him for just being just like one of us huge fans. Everyone makes mistakes, and he has really learned a lot a long the way. That in its self, will make him a great owner some day. I don't see him making the same mistakes over and over. He has learned each time, and is now learning from the master. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thito_da_skins_fan Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Great story that doesn't surprise me. I'm just wondering, if that plane had crashed, would Snyder have been at fault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsHokieFan Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Snyder has shown class off the field many times in many different arenas. Anyone remember Marty thanking him for reccomending a specialist for his son Brian? Class guy all around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
