Kornheiser tells Snyder personally yesterday 'It's all on YOU!'

[The Goat]

I've tried to not use harsh or foul language as the team collapsed under Snyder's ownership/management, but the contents of this thread have me boiling! I understand his wife is doing a good thing sponsoring breast cancer awareness week, a cancer survivor herself i believe, but her comments regarding the Redskins verge on insanity. She says we all want the Redskins to do good! Ma'am, your husband is the effing owner, has ruined the franchise, and all you've got is "we all want the Redskins to do good." I think the absurdity of her football comments demonstrate how she and lil Danny live in the smallest bubble on the planet...so much so that his little group of pals is somehow surprised when the crowd begs him to sell the team. And then Vinny's comments...OMG this man sounds like he's mentally retarded (no humor intended). This is the stupid SOB lil Danny Snyder thinks can help manage the franchise!?

...these two are an absolute embarrassment to the league, I'm sorry. Don't come at me with talk of charity work and whatever else, please, as you'll just be playing the sad fool. I hope this season produces a groundswell of disgust and ultimately rejection for Dan Snyder...I hope.

I think it's ridiculous to go attacking Snyder's wife for her comments. Not surprising, but ridiculous.

It's not an attack on her at all...we're talking about football here not Snyder's wife. The fact is her husband has literally destroyed a franchise and by both their comments, attitudes, etc etc etc it's painfully obvious they don't even begin to understand that. It's actually more sad than maddening when a little time passes...I think it reflects how far the ownership is, and therefor how far we are, from seeing any kind of turnaround in the near future.

Well putting aside our differing opinions on what Snyder has done to the franchise here, what do you expect her to say? I don't know, I mean obviously everyone is frustrated, and it's apparently impossible to believe that there are people actually involved with the organization from ownership and his family on down that care as much, if not much much more, about what's happening than the fans. I mean I just don't know what she's supposed to say. Her comments are about as relevant as yours or mine in the grand scheme of things. And they were so benign they don't even merit such a strong reaction, in my opinion.

Does she sound like a fan to you SS (just curious)? Honestly I wouldn't say anything if I were in her position...it would be off limits within the interview. Why? Again, if I understood my spouse has overseen the collapse of a great franchise there ought to be an enormous sense of embarrassment...and I don't want to talk about it, simple as that. But if you read my post it's really about lil D and Vinny, i say those two are the embarrassment in the national football league.

...I cringe to ask but here goes, do you somehow find someone, or something, else primarily responsible for the state of the Redskins (rather than Snyder)? And secondly, as a fan, are you not disgusted at what he's done?

I don't completely follow your first question there "does she sound like a fan". But I would say that perhaps she should have said "no comment" but what she said was completely harmless in my mind and didn't warrant the reaction of "the absurdity of her comments etc...."

I don't think the franchise was any great shakes under John Kent Cooke's brief tenure, but that's neither here nor there. I'm not absolving Snyder of blame, or Cerrato, or Zorn, or Campbell. And I'm not jumping up and down with joy at how sorry this team played on Sunday (which unfortunately wasn't an aberration), but I'm also not going to go nitpicking at every comment made publicly in regards to the team.

[Larry Michael is Satan]

All I want to hear Snyder say is, "Get the hell out of Redskins Park, Vinny, and for the love of God, take Larry with you!!!!"

I was curious whether she sounds like a fan i.e. is she answering the question as a fan or something else. It's a matter of nuance but (IMO) gets at the big picture of the ownership's mentality, which was my only purpose for commenting on her interview at all. I just realized that got lost in my post so I think we're on the same page. No personal offense to her or anyone else intended...as I've said before I tend to care very little what kind of person Snyder is.

The artist formerly known as Tafkas previously known as SmootSmack, currently known once again as SmootSmack, actually.

I think I'll just stick with SmootSmack when Smoot's released in the next few months, otherwise things will just get too confusing
