I like it.

Re: Snyder Camp Upset!!
 

Dan Snyder has a Type A personality. I'm not one to usually throw out these things, but he fits the description to a T. He's a tight-wad. He's a control freak. He thinks he could do it "his" way.

Yeah, perhaps he does want to win, but wanting to win doesn't mean having empathy with regards to other fans and their experience or the players. Hell, he didn't give a shit about Dan Turk.

Re: Snyder Camp Upset!!
 

[quote=skinsfan69;782508]Also glad to hear Snyder on the radio today to tell his side of it. Although I don't agree with his stance and it should be water off his back, at least he's not hiding and he's talking, so good for him. And good to hear him and Lavar kind of squash their fued.[/quote]


His side is a outright lie and yet more smoke being blown up fans asses in hopes they side with him. I'll explain:

[quote]His wife, Tanya Snyder, is out selling the transformation, too. Last week she went on local TV to tell an interviewer that he is now surrounded by “better people,” and that he’s “grown and he’s evolved.”

Well, maybe his wife can find evidence of Snyder’s growth and evolution. I can’t.

I missed the part in the quote he was making fun of her at all, never the less anything cancer related. That interview in question was the one I posted earlier.

Out of the 11:54 of interview, only 3:40 of it was about the Play 60 event. From 3:40 to 6:50 portion of the interview is about NFL and women. The rest of the interview is about DAN SNYDER of all things. Yeah, the biggest portion of the interview is about Dan and their life. Nothing cancer related.


ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with her breast cancer or any awareness. This is why I can't stand that asshole. He's lying his ass off trying to make the fans take his side. At least McKenna had facts to go along with his piece, Snyder is flat out lying to the public. He's trying to use his/wife's cancer and their jewish heritage as a means to gain sympathy and support.

It very much reminds me of this scene from family guy.

He's pissed at me.

Look I just thought you might have had some insider connection that was steering you towards the "Company Line" stance that Dan Snyder was being unfairly attacked.

Instead you were just pointing out the other side of the argument and I think I obviously read too much into it.

I apologize and once again I did say how much I value your wide influence around here right before I happened to question your judgement.

Re: Snyder Camp Upset!!
 

[quote=Mattyk;782449]Think about this, under Snyder the team has gone 86-106. That basically averages out to an average of just over 7 wins per year.

So if you don't think things could have been worse under another owner consider that during the same time the Lions averaged under 4.6 wins, the Cardinals 6, the Bills 6.75, the Browns 5.3, the Raiders 6.5, etc.[/quote]

Matty:

I understand the point you are making here - - believe me, I do...

However, when one must resort to the argument "Well, we are better than the Lions, Cards, Bills, Browns and Raiders..." you are tacitly saying something about "we" that is not very laudatory...

I know, I just get tired of hearing how the Skins are the absolute worst and are the only team with issues. It's simply not true.

I hear you. I don't know why, it just really ticked me off. Even having personal threats made against me and being cyberstalked by members here, for whatever reason your comment angered me more than any of that. Yea I have insider access which makes me privy to info both good and bad that others do not. But I dont and never have worked for the Skins. And I felt like I was and always am objective, and was just providing my opinion, so I felt like you were challenging my integrity when you said I was close to crossing the line, particulary as a mod. I'm sure I overreacted. Sorry about that

[quote=SirClintonPortis;782521]Hell, he didn't give a shit about Dan Turk.[/quote]

I met Dan Turk while the Skins training camp was in Frostburg. We were at one of the local bars in WV and he started shooting the shit with me. We must have stood there chatting for close to 2 hours. Damn nice guy. RIP Dan Turk.

FWIW: I had no idea that Dan Snyder was Jewish. Don't care either. People are so damned thin skinned these days it makes me want to vomit. Seriously, lighten up and quit looking for insults.

As young as Danny Boy is, we have to hope he gets his crap together as he'll be around for a looooong time. Let's home he's just a slow learner and is finally catching up to the curve. God I'm so tired of going into each season thinking "well, we could go 10-6 or 6-10". I'd love to go into a season excited for once.

Wow, I didnt realize things had gotten so bad. Its pretty sad when you have to say "hey the skins are better than the Lions, Raiders, Browns, & Cards" and of those pathetic teams 2 have actually been to the Super Bowl in that time period.

Ask anyone outside of Redskinville what are the worst 3 franchises and I think the Skins will be named in 9/10 groups.

[quote=Giantone;782551]???...........when were they in Frostburg?[/quote]

Yeah, they spent a few training camps in Frostburg, in the mid to late 90s.
I'm going to go ahead and come to Snyder's defense again re: Dan Turk (may he rest in peace). Turk's wife was most upset about two things with the Redskins when her husband died 10+ years ago. 1) that while he was sick in the hospital almost no Redskins (save for one or two) came to see him and 2) when interviewed about the botch snap, instead of letting the public know that her husband was dying of cancer he said "we have a new long snapper, that won't be a problem anymore"

I understand her argument that she felt the organization from the top down had a culture that didn't care about her husband so she put the blame on Snyder. But that seems like a bit of an extreme case to make. If Snyder himself didn't visit, shame on him but don't make him responsible for how the players chose don't handle to it. He can't make them go, particularly not when it's the offseason. And as for not telling the public her husband was dying of cancer; it's not Snyder's place to do that. He was right not to say anything, because he has no business talking about his employees' personal matters unless it's already public knowledge or he's been consented to do so. But for her to assume he would just be the one to tell everyone her husband had cancer is wrong on her part, that's not his place and he was smart not to say anything.

And I know she was (is) upset with the lack of benefits she felt she and her family got. But that's more on the NFL as a whole that simply Snyder.

So look, I totally sympathize with her and it's terrible she lost her husband and she has every right to be angry and frustrated, but taking a step back and looking at it without emotion I think her anger at times has been a bit misplaced.
