In thinking more on this, I think Snyder's biggest mistake, and probably the one which set the tone for his ownership, was when he first bought the team. He came in and cleaned house, starting in PR, if I remember right. Now, I understand that this is normal when a new owner comes in, but the way he did it, I remember it had a huge media backlash, and I think his first 5 years all were done under the umbrella of that, building a reputation for brashness.

I think he is a far better owner now, and that he is not nearly as impetuous as some continue to believe. But his first impression will not be gone until a SB comes to town.
