SI's Best & Worst Owners

All that spending in search of winning - - as opposed to the stingy Jeffrie Lurie in Phhilly - - and the Skins have two playoff wins in 10 years while the Eagles have been to a Super Bowl once and to the NFC Championship Game five times. Yeah, I'd really rather change owners if I were a Philly native...

Now, how any rational ranking of the ownerships in the NFL could not have the Rooneys and their stewardship of the Steelers over the past 15 years in the top 5 in the league is a mystery to me. So, if you want to say that the list is subjective and you disagree with the list, be my guest.

But please don't try to convince me that Danny Boy is one of the top two or three owners in the NFL based on results. Because that just won't fly...

I don't think anyone here would dare say that Dan Snyder is one of the top two or three owners in the league Maybe if you are including profit in the rankings, but you are right, Snyder has not been successful. That being said, the thing that pisses me off about these articles is that they write the same shit over and over again. Is like they are writing to a sports fan who has been living under a rock over the past 10-20 years. How about this, every time you write these stupid rankings, do it every 5 years and focus on just those previous 5 years.

The only problem is, journalism over the last several decades has declined greatly. Of course, that will happen as the pool fills up with more & more people & opinions. Unfortunately, that also means that intelligence thins out & lack of substance stays afloat longer. So, they drudge up old things that happened years ago to reiterate their point that Snyder is a bad owner.

Let us not forget that SI hates the Skins & Snyder, probably due to his lack of cooperation with them & the rest of the media to do interviews & the fact that they have an over abundance of Cowboys fans employed with them. During the regular football season, it seems that if they aren't talking about Tom Brady & the PaCheaters, they are talking about the Cowboys & how they are still "America's team......" Excuse me, I just threw up in my mouth a little.

So, I'm not at all surprised that these ding-a-lings continue to bring up old mistakes that Snyder has made just to keep people aware that he isn't the brightest owner out there. Their need to be right supersedes good journalism at SI. I have personally boycotted them almost since Snyder bought the team. They haven't seen a penny from me in over a decade.
