You know, I'm sick of hearing complaints about Snyder. Regardless of what he looks like or how "puckered" he appears to be in his own fanatical way - he is damn near the best owner in the league for one simple reason: He does his job. An owner’s job is to hire the best coach possible and to bankroll the team. From a business standpoint, there really is no other arena where millionaires are expected to hand out money by the fist full all just to sit back and watch what their money created without being more directly involved. Personally, I can’t fault a guy who is doing exactly what he should, and I respect him more when I see him going bananas in the owner’s box each time we score. He is a fan with a passionate heart. Notwithstanding the bankroll - he is us, and we both bleed burgundy and gold regardless if his game day attire is worth more than my entire wardrobe.

Despite the media, Snyder is doing his job by getting Gibbs and the rest of the coaching staff. As obvious by the complete turn-around in the last two years, both Snyder and Gibbs are both doing their jobs very well. The sad part is, and something I don’t want to casually admit because I'm not a blind-Homer Redskins fan, is that there is a media bias. Just this week the NFL commissioner said he was looking into possibly having a salary cap of sorts for the coaching staff now that the Redskins clearly have a deep and expense roster of professional minds. Honestly, it’s just one more thing. With Grimm and Monk getting passed over again – and crackheads like Michael Ervin getting more lip service for the HOF, it’s disgraceful. It’s been a rough week for Redskins fans, but in time this too shall pass.

In the end, smart and innovative teams will always find a way to win no matter if the league changes rules each and every week. We've been there in the past with one set of rules, found our way back with another, and seem to be once again pushing towards the top of the league. With good fans, a history of perseverance, sound ownership, and players with heart – this team will continue to be a success even if it has to weather a few storms. It’s just a matter of time before the Skins will once again take the Lombardi trophy to Redskins Park and that will make the win and the path less taken all the more sweet.

Now that I’m stepping off my soapbox, I hope the Seahawks get beat today for no other reason then to wipe the smug look off of Hasselbeck’s cue ball head.
