I'm tempted to reply: What else is there? In the end, owners should be judged by wins and losses, just as coaches are.

This is the most commonly cited fallacy about Dan Snyder. He'll do anything to win. No, he won't. He might spend anything to win [and pass the cost on to the customers, of course], but he won't do anything to win. If he was willing to do anything to win, he'd fire himself and Vinny and hire a real GM.

Snyder has packed a lifetime of bad decision [and coaches] into 10 years.

I would take virtually any owner over Snyder. I'm not impressed by his willingness to spend money, he has no idea how to spend it. I prefer an ownership that is careful with money, but spends it on good coaches, good personnel experts and good players. The Rooney's of Pittsburgh come to mind.

Amigo, you just made the case against Snyder.
