(Glenn, now with the Cowboys, missed most of the 2001 season with New England as his public feud with head coach Bill Belichick resulted in various fines, suspensions and ultimately Glenn's benching). "He said he would send a flat-screen television to my home because I'd be better off watching the games there. That was his way of saying I'd be sitting for the next couple years until they cut me."

God I wish Snyder just did that. That would have been the most bad-ass thing ever.

When Snyder bought the Redskins he tried to run it like one of his businesses and it didn't work.......then he tried buying the big name free agents but that didn't work out either. he finally stepped back into the shadows this season and let Gibbs and company run the show.....he did step in when he needed to in the Coles situation and FLEX his OWNER'S muscles ...I like what he said I applaud him!!!! Good for you Snyder!!!! :headbange
