This ocurred to me when Zorn was talking about how exciting it was to see the whole process play out after Midnight on the first day of FA and the phone calls and jets flying around the country. He was clearly dazzled by Snyder's process. It just seems like the extra money is spent to make Dan Snyder feel like he's really helping. They can't offer fair money because then they might not land the FAs and if they don't close the deal, if he doesn't close the deal, he's nothing. That's the feeling that I get.

I think it is partly that. I also think it is the nature of nouvea riche in our society. They really take to heart the notion that you have to spend money to make money. Since money making has been so easy in the 15 years they had to really manage and lead a lot less than before. I don't think Snyder really gets, at his core, how to be efficient with money.
