Re: What Would Happen if Snyder Died?
 

I don't know what would happen, but I know the Giants have one sickly owner left in their reserves and I hope he doesn't die during the week of December 24,2005.

[QUOTE=celts32]Snyder could definitly become a great owner of the redskins and some day be remembered fondly in Washington. But what made Mara special were his contributions in helping to build the NFL & being a very well liked man league wide. If all that matters is results then Mara's track record was surpassed by JKC, but there was no league wide memorium for big Jack...[/QUOTE]

As I recall there was very little acknowledgement given to Jack Kent Cooke at the time of his death. He may not have considered being a priest like Wellington, but he presided over three superbowl victories in his life time.

[QUOTE=skinsguy]The rest of the NFL would probably throw a big party![/QUOTE]

And some of the fans as well,....starting with me.

Is the orginal poster really suggesting that a craping 5 year owner who has brought ruin to his team should be given the same respect as a founding leader of the NFL? Or am I reading too much into it?

I was kidding.

[QUOTE=BrudLee]There are a few misconceptions about how players view Dan Snyder. One thing cannot be overstated, though - he pays very well.

So, what would the reaction be? Grief for some, indifference for some, and the inconsolable emptiness when someone fixes a broken cash machine that spits out too much money for others.[/QUOTE]

Very funny! :lol:

What would happen? [list=1][*]Snyder's portrait will be on the first eight pages of GAMEDAY, the programme sold at the games. It will be a bio telling how all his life experiences led up to his successful ownership of the franchise.[*]FedEx Field would be renamed FedEx Snyder Memorial Park[*]Future Hall of Famers Deion Sanders and Bruce Smith will attend the funeral in gratitude for the second chance in their career.[*]The grief stricken Redskins will lose to an NFC East rival 36-0.[*]Six Flags will finally agree to be acquired by Snyder. Oops, too late.[*]God's contract will be terminated in a dispute over control.[/list]I think Snyder would be remembered as the man to got Gibbs back and it would be left at that. :stop:

Same thing that happened when Jack Kent Cooke died. Party party party.

Re: What Would Happen if Snyder Died?
 

I think if Snyder died I'd feel pretty much the same way Chicago Bulls fans would feel if Jerry Krause died.

:food-smil

Re: What Would Happen if Snyder Died?
 

There are two good things about $nyder.
1. He's local ownership. Thinking about the Nats on that one.
2. He WILL sign checks for players!

If he sits in a corner and learns from Gibbs and real football people, he could be a good owner by the end of the decade. THEN, he would be missed!
