I cannot remember the last time there was any report from Snyder or anyone from the FO in the Times - it always seemed like they got their news second hand. I wonder if their is some other dynamic working here - Post not playing Snyder's lap dog and the Snyder going to the Times to tell "his side".
All in all - an interesting interview. It did seem to ignore the accusations that Snyder undercut some of his coaches by dealing directly with players he liked and Snyder sort of glossed over the Schottenheimer firing. Other than that, however, very interesting and informative.

I cannot remember many stories that the Times scoops the Post. The most glaring indictment of the Times came the night before my Mom died and HOF Coach Gibbs was hired. I knew at 1:00 a.m. (Hospital i-net connection) and the Post had the story. The Times was still reporting R. Rhodes and J. Fassel!
I read both every a.m., and without a doubt, the Times is a day behind!
This article is seemingly a first. It might not indicate a total flip-flop by LDS and the Redskins FO toward the Post however. If it was, then why have all of the Times articles still been a day late for the past two weeks?
