Gibbs is amazing. But, if we signed everyone at the game, maybe it was the 1-2 punch of Arenas-Jamison that did the trick. They did beat the best team in tehNBA that night...
I read in some article that they came late, left early and didnt seem to be really watching the game. Can I have those $2500 floor seats, Mr. Snyder? I promise I'll pay attention!

Thats old school right there that's why coaches like gibbs, parcell and Vermeil have so much succes because they go for the connection with the players and respect then and their families
You are so right........And it should not be old school but just the way it is all the time. Respect going both ways. As for the men he has picked all have strong character and family ties. At least three of them talked about God in there interviews in making thier pick coming to the Redskins. I bet the one thing that could ring true about these men is the way they were raised!

This isn't the first time Gibbs has been lauded for taking personal interest in potential draftees/FAs. What I don't get is why any coach wouldn't at least attempt to follow suit. I understand that it may come off as disingenuous, but Gibbs was the only coach to call Randle El himself and I know other teams were interested.
Snyder's money helps, but it definitely isn't all about the Hamiltons...

I think Randle El and Archuleta were just happy to come to a city that actually has a basketball team....take that Pittsburgh and St. Louis!
Yeah, you know your city sucks when they won't even put a D-league team there. GO ROANOKE DAZZLE!!!!!

Somebody-I think it might have been Randy Thomas when he signed-once said that they were impressed by Dan Snyder's personal involvement in the signings. He said most owners don't get involved until it's time to sign the check, but Snyder called during the "courting" process to talk to Thomas and his family. And that impressed Thomas (if it was Thomas I'm thinking of)

You know I was pretty excited when I heard we were getting a basketball team here. And then I heard they were naming the team the Dazzle...haven't been to a game yet.

You've gotta check out Party John before he comes back to DC. Just don't go clubbing with him, bad things happen.
