We are both fans and I welcome a different opinion. Yours just seem to lack any substance.

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about yours. On 2/2 we'll have something legit to gripe about at least.

If you truly believed that you would offer more than shrugged shoulders each and every time.

I suspect you will be very happy on 2/2.

The guy talking about substance is worked up over a commercial. Brilliant.

I have plenty of legit gripes with Snyder. A commercial to try to sell some tickets tied in with the re-branding is pretty far down on my list though.

Shoulda learned from the highly successful Cleveland Guardians rebranding. Quieter is better.

I'm thinking maybe a late Friday news dump would be appropriate.

Perhaps you do not understand the lens from which I view the commercial.

To clarify:

It speaks to a pattern of unjustified hype throughout his ownership. Danny loves the BIG Splash and BIG Moves. That is undeniable.

His endless craving for publicity coupled with his tacky (and seemingly sleazy) personality has hurt our product (translated: team, wins, reputation) since he took over. It has also made us something of a laughingstock more often than not.

And that is pretty high up on my list.

No announcement, just run out the 1st preseason game with new uniforms/name.

Totally understand that view. But this commercial was done in good taste and was not at all tacky or sleazy. They honored the past while looking to the future. I would guess Snyder had nothing to do with it. It's business 101 to promote a new brand announcement and also try to sell some tickets in the process.

Based on the thread in Nicki's tweet, it looks like this was a local/regional commercial.

Yeah that seems to be correct, I saw someone on Twitter say it was national but it seems that it was just local.

I didn't see it on Fox 45 in Baltimore my guess is it was based on what NFL has determined to by Washington's viewing area.

Sure, viewed in isolation it makes sense and was a well done commercial. And I am relieved that it was run locally.

But coupled with the Today Show, I cannot help but look at the big picture. I hope I am wrong.

And it is Danny who is tacky and sleazy, not the commercial.

that's not a bad idea.
Maybe they should release the name during the draft?
"With the 11th pick in the 2022 draft, the Washington Rugmunchers select..."

actually a release at the draft would not have been a bad way to do it.
