Yup, talk is cheap, just get it fixed.

100% agreed.

Hopefully this season is rock bottom.

Well I'm glad he at least spoke, I actually enjoy watching interviews with him... but I want my apology after the season, when we start building a football team the right way.

It's kinda nice, that it's a bit of a positive. I'm tired of hearing jokes about my team. Hey, we're bad, we're going to fix this thing. That's what i want to hear.

But, yes, actions speak alot louder. If DS wants to fix this thing, then fix it. It's broke. Fix it. We're tired of seeing the same ole crap. DS wants to win. I like that. DS is not stupid and I like that.

If he keeps VC on payroll much after January I might change my mind.

When I was a kid people used to say that they were sorry all the time for things that they were caught for or were embarrassed publicly for, but they ultimately had their fingers behind their back. Does Dan Snyder think that this empty apology will fix the problems that he is responsible for?

Let's go down the list of things that he did.

1.) He hired Zorn. He said that he thought that this guy would be a great head coach. What does he do to back up the HC when the Star player spouts off in public about his benching of that player? He chastises the Head Coach and tells him that we don't do that to Portis.

2.) He hired Cerrato after he was fired by Schottenheimer. Marty must have known something because he got rid of a guy who was all for bring in name brand players who were past their production. There are some fans who want to say that these past two years were Cerrato's to be in charge. Well, that is not true. He was involved in the Gibbs years and he was there as a yes man for Snyder to give him leverage in personnel decisions.

3.) Snyder's handling of the media and his image is terrible. Snyder could have gotten out in front of this whole problem. Instead there is so much dissension in the organization that people are afraid to say anything because it can come back to haunt them. Because Snyder is such a control freak, he makes it hard to have an organization that is functional.

Snyder' apology is an empty one. Actions speak louder than words.

But has Snyder himself admitted to anything? Most of this is his fault, i think...he needs to admit to too much meddling and just leave it for more competent people to handle...

For those who are hoping that Snyder will be embarrassed into making major changes: this apology, sincere or not, would be step 1 in that process. On to step two!

That is exactly what I thinking as I read it, his 'Redskins let everyone down'.
That implies the players and coaches are at fault, everyone bu the FO.

Either way I am not looking for an apology. Just get rid of Cerratto, hire a qualified GM and stay the fuck out of the way of player personnel and coaching staff hiring decisions. Danny you are not a football man and you never will be one.

You guys sound like a bunch of little girls who got their feelings hurt when the other little girls called them names. Now you want an apology and for them to tell mommy what they said so mommy can give you all a big hugh and make you feel better.

[SFREDSKIN]

What else do you guys think he's going to say? He's doing these things to bring the fan base back to Fedex and stop fans from posting derogatory signs, he probably is embarrassed. Like most of you have said, actions speak louder than words.

FIRE VINNY TODAY!!

Afterward, speaking to a small group of reporters in a parking lot, Snyder elaborated — although only in general terms. In a question that referenced two recent controversies surrounding the team — the suing of fans who couldn't pay for their premium tickets, and a total ban on fans carrying signs and banners into the stadium — Snyder addressed neither issue.

Actions speak louder than words. Fire Vinny, then we'll talk.

Vinny clearly has many supporters.
