He has his reasons.

Mattyk72: Rick, to us fans it seems the national media is a bit biased towards the Redskins and some writers seem to go out of their way at times to take jabs at the team and Snyder specifically.

Do you feel there is a bias towards the Skins from the national media, or are we as fans just so dialed into the team and what is said about them, we are a bit hypersensitive at times?

RS: Those of you who read me for 10 years covering the team daily for the Washington Times before I switched to the Washington Examiner as its columnist last fall know I was always breaking stories on Snyder's misdeeds. The national media took its cues from me. They see Snyder for what he is. And while I could spend all day on this subject, let's just say I'm not a fan of anyone who made jokes about me while I was having a heart attack in the lobby of Redskin Park in 2002. Get my drift?

Regardless of what did or did not happen in 2002 (we only have one side of the story and journalists lie at pretty close to the same rate as politicians, cops and lawyers) Snyder is being petty, destroying his credibility and abusing his position.

If he still has feelings about something that happened 4 years ago, he should do his health a favor and deal with it like a man -- and not let it control what he writes.

Personal feelings will always color how a journalist does his job, but this is just petty and sounds like a vendetta.

as much as i liked clark, he doesnt start for pitts. but, that being said, i would of preferred he stayed, and the money spent on A.A. being used on maybe a linebacker or an offensive lineman. i was never an A.A. fan. good in run support but pretty much worthless in pass defense. thats why i think prieloeus injury will have an bigger impact on our defense than people realize
