Daseal:

If Danny Boy was "young and learning" in 1999 and thought that bringing in a big name would attract more people then he is dumber than a brick.

He is nominally a lifelong fan of the Redskins, right? So you might suspect that he knows that the Skins sell out every game no matter what team is on the field. And if he did not know that before, wouldn't he have found that out when he did his "due diligence" and examined the Skins' books before he bought the team?

The fact is that Danny Boy thought - thinks? - he is a football genius just because he made enough money in the private secotr to buy a team. Unfortunately, he cut loose people like Mitchell and drove Brad Johnson out of town in order to bring in Deion and Jeff George. It's hard to make up a fantasy where that turns out to be a good idea
