I will agree with you that he has made attempts to improve the team. And I don't agree that he is ONLY trying to sell tickets and put butts in the seats. I also think he is a HUGE fan and I think that is where the problem is. He is trying to be an owner and a fan. I wonder if he is letting the fan in him influence his decisions as an owner and vice versa. He let his friend (grrr..can't remember his name) be the general manager and the guy had absolutely NO NFL experience or football for that matter. Put it this way, would you let a plumber fix your car if the plumber has never even worked on your car before? I think when Snyder bought the team he looked at it in 2 ways. First, he said,"Wow. I can buy an NFL team that I have always been a fan of!" Then he thought,"I can also make a huge amount of money while I'm at it too!!!!" I think that is where the problem lies. I think he needs to just be an owner Monday thru Saturday and then be a fan on Sundays like the rest of us.

And about the FA's (Sanders and his turf toe, McNabb who Philly easily gave up, and the $100 Million Dollar Zero who has caused more problems than any other player in the history of the Redskins) he's signed. I can't honestly say that putting butts in seats wasn't part of the reason for any of these signings. I can say that, in my opinion, NONE of them contributed anything to the team except for a financial burden. ALL of them were washed up when they got here and will be when they leave. Why he keeps signing has beens is beyond my understanding? Unless it is just to fill seats.
