BleedBurgundy 10-14-2009, 10:23 AM Here is my own personal boycott:
The Skins are no longer must see TV for me on Sundays. Last weekend the wife and I took a road trip to go visit friends and see their kid play Pee Wee football. They won 27-6 so at least I saw some winning football. It was the first Redskins game I've missed in years and honestly I really didn't care.
This is where i've been this year. I mean, if they don't care enough to put a quality product on the field, i don't care enough to carve time out of my schedule to watch it. It's just a team playing just a sport. Ambivalence is what they should be fearing.
celts32 10-14-2009, 10:29 AM I am not judging anyone who is finding better use of their time then watching this terrible team. But I can't turn away...I have to see every second live. I don't know why either...if I tried to do something else I would just obsess about whats going on in the game. I don't agree with most of what they do...every other thing i write on here is about how much I can't stand Snyderatto yet I just can't stop watching.

you know I did the same thing for the bucs game- and I actually felt like I accomplished something with the day. Unfortunately I was back at the bar for the panthers game last sunday- can't seem to shake it, but its a start. Isn't there a site we could start? I had a buddy that started a fireisiah.com (isiah thomas) site a few years back- not sure it did any good, but...
There is already a poorly run "firevinny.com" or something like that...i don't know.
Im with matty here, think of it as having your sunday's (and mental health back).

SmootSmack 10-14-2009, 10:45 AM Honestly though, even if they were 5-0 right now I'm not sure my approach would be much different. I have things to do with my life. I've been through the whole dedicate your entire weekend to the Redskins (more than many here), but like I said I've got things to do, places to be, people to see.

A lot of people are that way about watching car wrecks.
Longtimefan 10-14-2009, 11:10 AM Herein lies the greatest, and one of the largest conglomerates of same-sayers found anywhere discussing the state of the Redskins organization. It behooves me how the "little man" can be sitting somewhere idly by, absorbing every word we print and continuing to stand by his conviction "If it ain't broke don't fix it" attitude.
It behooves me how for the better part of a decade he can watch his team become an exercise in futility, and not heed the advice from so many wisdom dwellers far superior in the knowledge of kingdom building. However, something tells me that despite his stubborness and seemingly unwillingness to adjust, there's no way he won't eventually adhere to the logic of his detractors and change his evil ways.
beemnsevenspop 10-14-2009, 11:31 AM Breaking News: Washington Redskins Owner Dan Snyder Set To Hire New GM.
Team owner, Daniel Snyder, looking to add a spark to the struggling Redskins, has found a new General Manager for his team.
Snyder has offered the position to a money stack with big googly eyes. The money stack is currently a pitchman for GEICO Insurance.
The deal is reportedly worth the unguaranteed portion of Albert Hanesworth's $100 million contract.
Snyder will likely be retaining Executive Vice President of Football Operations, Vinnie Cerrato, The 'Skins owner said the move simply "brings in another set of eyes."
Snyder recently placed a sort of gag order on Defensive Coordinator Greg Blache, something not neccessary with the potential new GM, as he only communicates via text, never verbally.
Snyder was also impressed that the GEICO representative, like himself, was made of money.
There is a possibility that, if hired the money stack could bring in his own crew, including the Geico Gecko to replace head coach Jim Zorn. Zorn denied the rumor, but did mention that he"always feels like somebody's watching me"
Dan Snyder revealed that an overriding factor in his decision to make this move was "the money he could be saving by switching to GEICO (employees)
I'll go you one better than that: Word is, that once the naming rights contract between Danny Boy and Federal Express expires, the stadium will be renamed Dyson Field - the logic being, there is no other NFL team that can better demonstrate the sucking power of their vacuum cleaners than our beloved 'Skins....
BrennanBeliever 10-14-2009, 11:32 AM Its disheartening to see the true Redskins fans on this site being eclipsed by this bandwagoning, ambiguous group of posers.
The person in this thread is looking for a galvanizing solution, and all I'm hearing are a bunch of gutless, spineless suburbanite naysayers. Where is your resolve and why express an opinion if your solution is to do nothing?

Well said.
