Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

email from my brother:

First and Foremost I wanted to thank everyone for their donations to the Sell OUR Team Danny Boy cause.

We currently have about 2 days left of the 30 day deadline. Although we weren’t able to get all the money we needed, we’ve managed to raise about 18% of our goal as well as gain significant media attention, which I believe is outstanding.

However, it does not look as though we are going to have enough money to buy metro bus ads.

I have taken the liberty of coming up with an alternative plan which we can afford:

Mobile sign ads.

James Goulden of DC Mobile Ads happens to be a lifelong Redskins fan who is onboard with the cause. He has given us a special price of five 8 hour sessions plus sign production for $1200. This would allow us to still give $160 to MDA.

What’s even better is that he will drive the sign wherever we like. This can include:

1. Danny Boy Snyder’s house
2. Vinny Cerrato’s house
3. Around Fedex Field during a Redskins game.
4. Verizon Center during Caps and Wizards games.

I’ve attached a picture of how the sign might look and you can check out [url=http://dcmobileads.com/]Mobile Billboards In Washington DC, Virginia, Maryland[/url] for more information.

We did, however, promise metro bus ads, not mobile sign ads. Therefore, we are offering the option for anyone to withdraw their donation if they would like. Please let me know within the next 48 hours, by kickoff of the Redskins/Cowboys game (1:00pm) on 11/22, and I will promptly refund your donation. After that I will assume that you are on board with the cause.

Please feel free to write or call if you have any questions,

Regards,

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

Obviously we are not going to be able to raise enough money for the bus ads; however, i think this is a great alternative and should also raise additional media attention.

This was sent out as a email blast to everyone that gave money but please pass this on to people you know of who dont check their email or friends that may have paid you in cash.

Thanks everyone for your support!

every time i read this thread, its like a bad car wreck. i don't like it, but i always look

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

Wow,

I honestly was going to come in and say kind words. Really. As DRave repeatedly pointed out, you guys took initiative, tried to do something that you felt was worthy, and I believe you would look back on it as a memorable venture. I was. and I believe those things.

But now, it looks even more petty. mImpetert, will you consider changing the wording to something less offensive and more respectable. I had suggested something positive earlier in the thread and you said yeah that was good, but too bad everything is in place. Seems like if you can change the signage method, you could change the phrases used to something less childish and more thoughtful.

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]First please read the email posted above. If you had donated the 20 bucks like you promised (due to not reading the original ad, and falsely accusing us of hiding) which you then backed out on you would have the option to get your money back. Again please read things before making attacks on our integrity. [/FONT][/COLOR]

I agree. I like the idea but the message needs to change. It should deal more with the direction we want the team to take as opposed to a cheap shot at the owner. He won't sell the team so we should focus on what he could do to make the team better.

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

Okay the truck was driving around Landover yesterday. We on working on getting a schedule of events that the truck will target. I will let everyone know when its finalized.

[url=http://www.kapipal.com/2de5c4b8693c417281538317d2a682f8/]Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - Kapipal[/url]

Also the back of the truck says "Fire Vinny" in the opposite color scheme. The sign also lights up so it should look really good at night.

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

So did the truck ride around the stadium?

It's too bad that you guys put all of that effort and money into a venture that has a complete fail message. I can't understand why you couldn't adopt a more constructive message.

Snyder has no reason to pay attention to that truck.

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

Lol...funny tooooo funny. I like the effort, unfortunately Snyder is not selling, but at least he is understanding the message of enough is enough...any new coverage up there with the truck?

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

I thought the people were getting there money back??

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

That was before the new, better alternative came along ;).

Like the others I like the idea but not the wording. For the mobile sign ads you probably could've said something along the lines, "we the fans feel a change of philosophy and way of conducting business is best for a long term competent team."

Maybe not in those exact words but a sign saying,"Sell OUR Team Danny Boy" is a big waste of money. He's not gonna read that and think, "of course, what they are saying is I need to change my ways. Well I've been listening to mobile sign ads all my life so there's no reason to stop now. All hail mobile sign ads!"

Yea, try reading that as the van drives by doing 55 mph. You would also rule out all the younger fans who attended public schools in that area as some of the words are over 5 letters long.

Re: Sell OUR Team Danny Boy - DC Metro Bus Ads
 

He posted pics on the kapipal site. just to re-blow the horn - the sign could easily have been worded differently:
One side: Dan - Championships are built, not bought
or: Build for the future - Remember the legacy

The other side: list our SB years, or three trophies if the printer could do that
-or-
list the FO teams that won the SBs

but I knew you weren't changing it. shame.

Well this would have made sense...however in typical Snyder/Cerrato move it didn't (oh irony).

I'm assuming you missed the part where I said not in those exact words obviously. But that's ok. You read what you want to read ;). Look at CRedskinsRule's post for a more simplified version that would work. Btw I saw a video of the pickup on NBC news last night while they were talkin about it and he sure as hell wasn't doin 55.

24 pages of utter nonsense

[quote=Ruhskins;637690]Why is this thread still open?[/quote]

because the OP thinks that some of us actually care about this foolish and wasteful project and keeps posting updates. In principle, a campaign like this has merits. however the end product was just silly. on the bright side, atleast some money went to charity.

It is open until the Kapipal time expires, remember that was a 30 day time limit, of course, now it is 41 more days.

Beth Parker wants to do another interview, given our the departure of Vinny. How funny would it be if casual football fans watching Fox 5 tonight somehow attribute Vinnys "resignation" with the hard work of sellOURteamdannyboy.com ?

I will keep everyone posted on when the interview will air.
