Well if I had known Dan was going to run the franchise into the ground I wouldn't have settled for a minority owner spot.

Now he's lucky to be in this market, that helps.

People were laid off in the NFL offices so naturally this hits the teams too. I'm not surprised. I didn't know John Jefferson worked for the Redskins.
What I'm morbidly curious to see is how the Redskins do in the long run. Maybe his success has been a result of what he's always done with running the team, sacrifice long term plans in favor of short term get-rich quick schemes. The fans are starting to get fed up with the way the team is running the organization and apparently the season ticket waiting list is for lack of a better word, bullshit. I've heard of people that have been contacted about season tickets within a year of signing up. On top of that they got Larry Michael robo calls going around now with Jack Kent Cooke showing up on caller ID's.
