I hurt for our Redskins like many fans. I have been a season ticket holder since 1981 and truely remember the good days. I do not beleive that Mr Snyder is a “bad person” but do beleive he is a poor “football person”. Let’s hope he makes some positive changes this coming off season and begin building the Redskins back to where they belong at the top of the East Conference.

Drawing comparisons between Snyder and Buggsy Seigal is sort of a stretch by any train of thought.Riggo saying he reminded him of some 30’s Jewish mafioso only exaggerates that. There have been any number of instances where Snyder has put his plane and money behind the needs of someone on the team. Look at the stuff Doughty had to go through with his baby when he was first drafted…Bugel and his sick daughter and so on.Snyder was there with all the help they needed at the moment.It’s well documented about his great assistance for various causes in the area.
On the other side of the coin is this sign banning…plain and simple censorship, Vinny (enough said!), Snyder’s apparent real life fantasy football aspirations over the past decade, the firing of longtime employees when he bought the team,the number of coaches ousted covering 10 years, and his handling of Zorn… I mean he does look like a petty, mean spirited, dictator in a lot of respects. I think the focus has to be kept on the front office as a whole and not the individual. Riggo is doing no one any favors in gutter sniping Dan Snyder. He’s just creating sympathy for him and adding fuel his point that the media is out to get him.

Also it doesn’t take a genius to know what Redskins fans think. Riggins pretty much summed it up. So he said Snyder was evil. If you think about it he kind of is.

His consumers are the fans. He depends on them to stay afloat. And what does he do. He feeds us propaganda on what a fan he is and then bans signs. Plus, he continually doesn’t seem to catch on that he doesn’t know how to run the team and yet still makes the football decisions.

Riggins worked for Snyder at ESPN 980 for a bit. He knows him.

Besider Riggins has a flare for the dramatic. So he went a little overboard. Whatever. At least he’s not like Greg Blache who broke his media silence to say some pointless BS about how Snyder is a quality guy.

Point is that Snyder has ruined this team and Riggins is speaking for us in trying to get our ‘Skins back. Thank you Diesel!

You beat me to it, Boss, but you certainly said it better than I think I could have.
