Another off season championship locked up.

As always I desperately hope I'm wrong and suddenly Dan Snyder fantasy football starts to be a viable team building strategy, or maybe he just gets lucky at some point and it just works out for him, much like his business success where he bankrupted his dad multiple times before he finally accidentally got rich on the 90's big fake "consulting" business fad.

Snyder I feel is more than worthy of a lot of criticism. I imagine that if someone decided to do a show about nightmare bosses Snyder would be on the short list. And given some of the stuff he's done with litigation and the like as well as other things its clear the guy is no saint.

With that said I feel like the one criticism that keeps getting thrown Snyders way in spite of being most unfair is that he has continued to meddle with front office football decisions. I'd say he's actually been quite the opposite, as his involvement in football matters seems to be doing what fans wanted him to do all along, simply open up the vault and sign the checks when needed.

Now maybe thats a product of Allen and Shanahan doing a great job of setting up boundaries, maybe its a product of Snyder taking a lot of the criticism to heart following the 2009 season, but regardless I think at this point its fair to say that his involvement in football decisions is limited at best. Certainly not much different than the level of involvement you see from guys like Kraft and Allen, at least in regards to football matters.
