If you could name a new owner for the Redskins who would it be and why?

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.

Here's an article in which he gave a 10 point building plan, said he couldn't comment on football or the skins, but his plan for how a team needs to become a contender
