Smoke Signals: Don't worry about the game, look at all this Audi stuff!

Chad Rinehart or Will Montgomery? It ain't exactly Sonny v. Billy, but it's all the Skins have got right now. That and a lot more in today's edition of Smoke Signals.

Read it.

I really wonder if you even like the Skins sometimes there Spence. My gawd, I just had to wipe my face from all the negativity and sarcasm dripping from that article.

Audi stuff sounds great! not. So horrible, now that Danny is getting more money can't he upgrade the Jumbo Tron, it is so bad.

Anyone who goes to games at FedEx Field should prepare to see a lot of Audi crap around. This is what Dan Snyder does instead of building good football teams -- he signs promotion deals with companies nobody cares about.

I fail to see how promoting Audi keeps Snyder from building a football team. This is especially true when you consider that he must be getting money from Audi, money which can be invested in players.

The Lions are awful and they can't boast of an exciting or interesting team coming to town, it's just he (sic) Redskins, owner of the most boring offense in football year after year.

I also fail to see what a "boring" offense has to do with anything. You don't get extra wins for being exciting. Look at the '72 Dolphins - very boring offense, undefeated season. "Boring vs. exciting" really has little to do with playing good football or not playing good football.

They just go out and copy and paste stuff from all the other 1,000 same crap articles this week. I wouldn't waist my time reading it.

I heard he wants one that extends from endzone to endzone that even kickers can hit.

This is what Snyder is most involved in, the non-football related decisions such as stadium and team sponsorships. He really does leave the large majority of the football related decisions to Cerrato, Scott Campbell, Morocco Brown, Jim Zorn and the coaches and scouts.

But when he's involved in stadium sponsorships it's "why isn't he putting together a strong football team" but then should he step in in even the smallest way then it's "why is he involved at all, he should stay out of football decisions"

Me either.

The article is a daily brief of all Redskins links we can find. If they are negative, they are negative. If they are positive, then so be it. It's been a tough week for the Redskins and after the way they played, it should have been. They have a chance this week for vindication.

Matt -- you think this is bad, imagine what this place will be like if we lose. Damn, I think I would stay away for a bit, lol. Maybe what you should try and do is hire a community psychiatrist, lol. Sometimes we all need it.

SmootSmack · 09-25-2009, 01:28 PM

I think Matty may have been referring as much to Spence's commentary about each link. Such as a seemingly minor story about Audi and Redskins teaming up on a sponsorship deal turning into this being emblematic of the Redskins' on-field failures. The two have basically nothing to do with each other

Love the Skins, Matt. I think all the time and money I've spent on the team over the years is evidence enough of that. Don't like Snyder and don't like losing.

That's quite obvious.

It's not all bad all the time though, that's all I'm saying.

Matt, the last decade has been a lot more bad than good, in my opinion. I write good things about the Skins when I think they are merited. And, after all, I did predict them to go 9-7 this year, which proves I'm a cock-eyed optimistic fool.
