Greg Blache: Stop the Snyder Bashing

[The Goat]

I guess we're back to debating whether lil D is a "good guy." I mean why does it matter? Really? He could be the nicest guy in the whole world and it doesn't change the fact his ownership of the Skins is a failure from every perspective apart from the business side.

...on the other hand it is very strange IMO for Blache, who's basically said he doesn't want to spar w/ the media any longer, to come out praising lil D in the midst of his campaign of repression against disgruntled fans. One week Snyder sues the pants off of ticket-holders, bars the media from talking to fans at the game, and shamefully bans all signs and anti-ownership t-shirts...the very next week a coach starts talking him up as a real swell guy? I guess at this point I'm sorta speechless. I don't understand why people are still giving Snyder their money...seems masochistic.

Why are people still giving Danny their money? They are morons who don't have anything more contructive to do with their time obviously. Blache is trying to get in good with Mr. Snyder to have an edge come the day Zorny is let go.

Yeah...really dumb.

He should have kept that dirty sock in his mouth. We'll see how real Blache keeps it when he takes over the Bingo calling duties for Sherman Lewis at the retirement home next year.

LOL Yea well in all fairness BLACHE has done a good job since coming to us in 04

[BaltimoreSkins]

I wonder if Blache truly perceives that all the hatred toward Snyder is because the public thinks he's not a nice guy. I can't imagine he is that naive.

Good to hear Mr. Snyder is a good friend of his. I call all my good friends Mister too. I don't know why he was so worked up over the "dark heart" comment. What the hell does that even mean?

Snyder is definitely a douchebag. I heard a story of how he went back to his High School reunion and insisted that people call him Mr. Snyder, and know someone that works closely with Steve Bisciotti who said Bisciotti kicked Snyder out of his house for pulling the same stunt. Snyder asked Bisciotti to call him Mr. Snyder, and the response he got was, "Get the fuck out of here".

Snyder's not evil. He's just a weird dick.

LMAO at the point in bold.

As to the Mr. Snyder thing, notice that Gibbs NEVER called him Mr. Snyder. Always just simply "Dan." Good for you, Joe. If he was in my high school class and he came to the reunion with that nonsense, I would tell him exactly where he could put his Misters.

I insist that you call me Mr. Lotus.

Did anyone hear the callers on Lavar's show today? Just ridiculous stuff like an old Redskins intern who said everyone had to turn around and stare at the wall when Snyder was walking from his suite to the elevator. They were told on day 1 never to look Snyder in the eye. Too funny.

Seriously, I think it comes down to how short he is. If only he was over 6 feet tall, we may have a winning team.

I've told this story on this board before, but I'll tell it again since this is a fitting venue. When my dad was a partner at his former law firm, he was the lead attorney representing Snyder's communications company in a case. This was right around the time he bought the Skins if I remember correctly. Anyway, he had more than one face-to-face meeting with the Little Danny. My dad is a pretty reserved guy, and chooses his words carefully. Well, when I asked him what he thought of Snyder, without hesitation he said, "what an arrogant little piss ant." He did say he had some nice cigars though.

dallas game wrong game to do it at and a walk out isn't the way to go what they are planning in clevland is a lot better in my opinion waiting until after kick off to go into the stadium

[SBXVII]

Walking into a game late is kinda idiotic.

I'll agree Dallas may not be the game to do it at, but I think it already has a full head of steam the way it sounds and kinda hard to say..." Oh wait, lets change the game.....we'll do it at some other game..."

[Ruhskins]

If people want to "protest" the Redskins, then just stop following them and stop supporting them. Give up your season tickets, stop buying merchandise, stop following them on TV...so basically recreate what is going on in Jacksonville.

None of these stupid little protests or raising money to buy stupid billboards on buses or attacking the owner personally is going to change anything or asking the owner to sell the team, none of these things will work and are just delusional wishful thinking.
