Just look at the Caps. You have a free agent like Shaone Morrisonn for instance who decided to leave for a bigger contract, you have Karl Alzner, John Carlson, Joe Finely and other prospects int he wings waiting. Many NFL teams are like that as well, drafting smart, keeping draft picks as premium, and building success through rejuvenation. That doesn't happen at Ashburn.

Good pick. The Leonsis story is a good one. Seems to have it together.
I was thinking and Ted Turner came to mind. Not afraid to spend money, desparately wants to win, and is a smart dude. After thinking about it though he is too similar to DS.
