Thank you, brother. Indeed, I have been dyed in the wool B&G almost from the moment I first realized what that funny looking pointy ball was, lol. I know there are a lot of 'Skins fans here and on other boards who genuinely believe this franchise will never see the top of the mountain again until either the Dan or Vinny, or both, are gone -- but I'm not one of them.

For one thing, let's face facts: the Dan isn't going ANYWHERE. Not for a long, long time. Vinny may be another story, but the owner we have now is the owner we'd better get used to, for good or bad. I know he's a meddler, a micro-manager, and a twit when it comes to true football acumen, but so was George Steinbrenner about MLB when he took over the Yankees. He dealt with more than his share of growing pains, but eventually he got it, and the Bronx Bombers rose to the top once again.

I see a similar arc happening here with Snyder. I just don't know how long it may take. Sooner would of course be better, but I'm not going anywhere as far as my NFL allegiance goes, so in that respect I've got nothing but time...

Hail.
