Snyder Interview

[Daseal]

But Snyder gave his first interview in more than two years to a paper he once reviled. In fact, the reporter who interviewed Snyder, David Elfin -- also a Warpath contributor -- once was banished to the basement during home games. Why? Because Snyder didn't like the newspaper's coverage in his early years.

Nice article, EEich! Who is it!

TWT: Why not give Vinny the GM title?
Snyder: Having a GM goes back to when the general manager ran the ticket office. He used to be like a CEO. Less than half the teams today have a GM. The majority of the coaches have the final say. New England and Philadelphia have a vice president of player personnel and no GM. We have the same structure.

I found this interesting. Is it true? Also, did you see where Danny blamed Vinny for the Deon fiasco?

Anyway, I liked the interview. I believe that he's letting Gibbs run the show. And it can't hurt to have two papers in town competing to have the best skins coverage.

Being an out of town fan I only have the Post and Times websites to depend on for Redskins "news" so I don't really care about the politics of who is in bed with the FO or not.. Bottom line the Post needs to remember is Journalism 101, it's more important to be right than first.

He's right about less than half the teams having a "GM" and that neither New England nor Philadelphia have anyone with the title General Manager. That's why I'm always curious to know what exactly it is that people want when they say "We need a GM" Is that just to say that we have a GM? Anyway, we've had that GM discussion more than enough times

I'm not sure... When he refers to the Warpath, I don't think he's referring to this board though.
