I dispute that this has been established. Prior to this post (which I think is about as reasonable as a speculation as we've seen, mind you), I haven't seen ANY coverage from WaPo or other outlets that claims this is true. It's all just the opposite -- that Vinny has always had an issue with Gregg and only Joe's presence was able to smooth things over.

Seriously, this is our measuring stick now? "He may be an asshole, but he's not the only one?" I thought we were a premier NFL franchise, one of the classiest in the league. Why are we lowering the bar now?

Again, comparing ourselves to other terrible franchises like Detroit is a terrible idea. Those guys aren't even remotely in our league, or at least they weren't prior to Snyder's ownership of the team. We've regained some of that status during Joe's second term, but I think the outrage you're sensing is people who feel it slipping away the minute Joe left.

As for the Cowboys, sure, that's true. They also went to a Super Bowl, and have won the division a couple of times. Let's not turn this into a quest to make stats tell the story we want it to, we both know that right now, today, the Cowboys would be regarded as a much better run organization than the Redskins by the majority of randomly sampled NFL fans.

I don't buy this for a second either. Just because the mods are tired of reading "the same old crap every five minutes" doesn't mean the bulk of the sentiment isn't valid. It's not a minority of 10 or 100 posters on this board who are irritated. Even the "mainstream" media coverage is reporting that fan reaction is universally negative on this subject.

It's always a good practice to try and consider both sides of a situation before rushing to judgment. That practice shouldn't preclude one from deciding that, ultimate, one of the sides is wrong.
