Daniel Snyder Continues to Embarrass Himself With Idiotic Activity
Daniel Snyder: The petulant owner of the Redskins objected to this piece in the City Paper. So he tried to get the writer fired by threatening a lawsuit against the paper. “In a letter sent to City Paper’s owners after the article’s publication, Redskins chief operating officer David Donovan alleged that Snyder had been defamed by the publication and that legal action was an option. To date, however, no lawsuit has been filed.” Snyder continues to embarrass the Redskins’ franchise on a monthly basis. [Wash Post]

This, but he’s still better than Millen.
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:05 PM
Is this what Jerry Jones would have been like if Jimmy Johnson didn’t win him those championships?
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:05 PM
You’ve worked in publishing for a long time, TBL, isn’t this sort of thing SOP? Dan Snyder is an asshole but this, oddly, doesn’t make me hate him any more than I already do
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:09 PM
Oh, he might have been worse.
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:18 PM
This, but he’s still better than Millen.
please… snyder took a historically competitive franchise and shit all over it. the lions have always sucked.
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:22 PM
Jerry Jones owns up to things when the Cowboys are shit and understands why fans are pissed. Snyder doesn’t and never will. He’s in constant denial.

Asking for a Re-Tweet and using Go Pack Go…Hernia has a new enemy in Greg Jennings
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:26 PM
That’s not true, but whatever.
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:28 PM
Pretty much has been true since the early 60′s…they were slightly better than mediocre in the Barry Sanders years outside of ’91 but it’s not like Millen ran the Steelers into the ground
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:30 PM
I think this may be the final straw for me as a Skins fan. It may be time to head over to Bmore. I just don’t think I can stomach rooting for this team any longer. Regardless of on-field success, or lack thereof, I just don’t think I can fdo it. He will be owner probably for the rest of my life, and why should I waste it on rooting for a shitty organization run by a petulant, insecure, asshole? I don’t think I can.
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:32 PM
That’s not true, but whatever.
michigan sucks too

February 2nd, 2011 at 2:34 PM
Good news though, Skins fans. The Redskins still make Snyder LOTS of money. Sleep easy tonight.
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:34 PM
Plus the Ravens don’t have DeAngelo Hall. Win, win.
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:34 PM
Fuck Baltimore!
/Nothing personal, obligatory as a Steeler fan, lol
Gotta agree though, the things he does just leave you shaking your head and wondering… what? really? ummmm….
McNabb, Haynesworth, Hall, Arrington… that’s all I got from the top of my head.
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:34 PM
Unrelated to anything here, but this is my favorite headline of the day: Maurice Jones-Drew: Jay Cutler gets it
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:36 PM
My memory is not good, as evidenced by many comments I’ve made when i was sure I remembered something, but what did Danny do wrong with Arrington? It was a good draft pick, looked like he’d be a franchise type guy then he had injury troubles
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:38 PM
Jeff George, Deon Sanders, Dana Stubblefield, Mark Carrier, Adam Archuleta, TJ Duckett, etc, etc, etc…
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:38 PM

Not sure the intent of original poster, but he jerked LaVar around on his contract. Lavar is a good dude.

ill – how sad that those names can be rattled off so fast? and that there are so many?
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:41 PM
it’s the trading of draft picks for veterans that pisses me off the worst. i can stand losing with young kids, not old has-beens and then watching the draft for 1-2 picks every year/
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:42 PM
None of you have mentioned trading Champ Bailey. Which was the dumbest thing he’s done, in my opinion. By far.
Also, Shawn Alexander signing. Even if it wasn’t for much. High comedy.
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:42 PM
VV – my brother is a diehard Skins fan & I’m alway amazed by his resilience. Ever since the Bruce Smith / Deion fiasco I’ve been working under the assumption that any big time signing the Skins make is going to be a bust
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:44 PM
Which was the dumbest thing he’s done, in my opinion. By far.
I’ll fight you on that. Clinton Portis is about equal in terms of real game outcomes to Mr. Bailey so that wasn’t really a bad trade. Any personnel moves corollary to the trade may be in dispute but that specific move is not that dumb.
/Team Champ Bailey is and always has been overrated
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:46 PM
ill – how sad that those names can be rattled off so fast? and that there are so many?
i’m like a beaten house wife when it comes to the skins; i take the bad in stride and only dwell on the rare bright areas (Landry, Orakbeast, Silverback).
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:46 PM
to me, this doesn’t come close to DMac fiasco. 2 picks for a one year rental that didn’t make playoffs? At least Portis was a serviceable back for several years. I think a solid workhorse RB like portis is more valuable than bailey. but you have to know what you are doing so it doesn’t blow up in your face, and the skins obv do not.
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:48 PM

the champ trade would have been fair without the draft pick included. that said, giving away 2nd and 3rd round picks for TJ Duckett (who maybe had 5 carries that year) was far dumber.
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:49 PM
If he is going to start suing people for defamation, then he is going to have to sue every single person who knows anything about football.
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:50 PM

Don’t forget my 2nd favorite Redskin of all time: Santana Moss for Laveranues Coles is very heavily in the Skins favor
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:51 PM
Jones at least has some idea of what is going on.
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:53 PM
Well let’s brawl. I go at this from two angles that I think are truths.
One, running backs in the NFL are fungible. That includes Clinton Portis for most of his career. Good cornerbacks are certainly not.
Two, the Redskins cornerback play since that time. Ugh. Replacing Clinton Portis with a young running back they could have drafted with any number of the draft picks they’ve traded would have been MUCH easier.
Holy shit, I forgot about that. Yeah, it’s as if he he said “I’m doubling down on my dumb. YOU CAN’T TEACH ME ANYTHING!”
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:53 PM
this is the funny part to me… everything in the article is true. how can it be defamation?
February 2nd, 2011 at 2:54 PM
Santana Moss very stealthily had a nice season.
February 2nd, 2011 at 3:02 PM
I’m no skins fan, but I thought he did something jacked up to him with his contract or something. I wasn’t ever implying Lavar did anything bad, just Snyder.
February 2nd, 2011 at 3:03 PM

That first sentence does not make the trade itself any worse. Like I said, the specific trade is not a bad move. The second half of this paragraph I take 100% exception to. There are by no means “any number of young” backs that could replcae Clinton Portis. I’m scared to use the “complete back” moniker but Clinton is good in all phases of the game in a way that most backs are not. I agree that there is a significantly larger supply of good RBs in relation to the amount of good CBs available but the direct impact on a game outcome produced by a great RB is generally much higher. That means that a great RB (Clinton was a great RB) is generally worth more than a great CB. Also, The cap # on Champ is higher, freeing up money for Dan to do his stupid shit
February 2nd, 2011 at 3:10 PM
Really? So when evaluating a trade in hindsight, you don’t take into account the roster you were working with?
As an example, if the Steelers trade the Rapist for Darrell Revis, evaluating the trade shouldn’t take into account the huge dropoff in QB play that resulted in losses because they got more than fair value from the trade? Even though the dropoff in QB play contributed largely to it?
I love Clinton Portis. I love that he takes offense to blitzing linebackers and puts them on their ass. But’s been proven over and over again that a team with a good running game can replace a back and largely maintain productivity levels. It might not be the same, but the dropoff is not severe.
February 2nd, 2011 at 3:15 PM
Why would we give away excellence at one position for overratedness at another?
/Sorry Jersey, couldn’t resist!
February 2nd, 2011 at 3:18 PM
Really? So when evaluating a trade in hindsight, you don’t take into account the roster you were working with?
Not exactly what I’m saying. My original comment was saying that the specific wins generated (or whatever term applies for football) don’t really favor Champ enough or at all to claim this specific move as a particular victory for the Broncos. It came out about even, as far as these things go. I’m saying the Redskins inability to replace Champ Bailey is being overstated. The Skins themselves made some bad moves in expecting Smoot or whoever else to be able to replace Champ but that’s the bad personnel move not the fact that they traded Bailey. Obviously you have to take stock of the whole roster but my claim is that CBs in general, and Champ in particular, are overrated in what they add to a team. And that the Redskins would have had some bullshit running & passing attacks without Clinton, at least as bad as the bullshit coverage they have had without Champ
February 2nd, 2011 at 3:18 PM
Robbery. Awful.
February 2nd, 2011 at 3:20 PM
See: Asomugha, Nnamdi
February 2nd, 2011 at 3:23 PM
Oh christ. I don’t truthfully know whether cornerbacks are overvalued or undervalued by fans or front offices, but I do know that citing Asomugha’s existence on the Raiders as evidence of whatever your point is is silly.
February 2nd, 2011 at 3:29 PM
Really? Pointing out that the Raiders can suck horribly with the best cover corner in the game is silly? Sorry, but I thought it illustrated Stark’s point perfectly.
February 2nd, 2011 at 3:33 PM
Asomugha’s existence on the Raiders all these years only serves to prove how much all eleven players on the field matter.
February 3rd, 2011 at 9:32 AM
Yes, but to Stark’s and my point, if you take Nnamdi off the Raiders and add Portis all these years, Raiders would have been better. Good CB matters less than good RB.
