QuoteExtremeSkins Fan View: Cap Hell Rocks!
By Arthur Mills
ExtremeSkins.com
March 16, 2006
Don't hate us because we're beautiful.
No more blank, wondering stares, confused head scratching, frothing emotional outbursts, conspiracy theories or embarrassing, dismissive references to 2000. The Washington tater skins are the central theme of every NFL team message board out there. Here's a message to you all from all ExtremeSkins fans everywhere.
It's time to embrace the reality of it all. Simply, we're better than you.
That's it. Look no further. We are better than you. We're more fun. It feels better to be us. We've got flair. We're audacious, capricious, bodacious, supercalifragilisticxpalidocious.
Are you finally getting it?
Yes, yes, I know cap hell was supposed to be upon us. I know that's what you've been told. I feel for you, I really do. As you come to realize we're better than you, a second bit of stark reality must also penetrate. We're smarter than them.
Repeat after me.
The Washington tater skins are managed, coached and owned by highly professional people who know more about running a football franchise than ALL the unnamed, anonymous sources any reporter has yanked from the broom closet and quoted.
Don't take my word for it. Take the following words for it.
Brandon Lloyd, Antwaan Randle El, Adam Archuleta, Andre Carter, Todd Collins, Christian Fauria.
The question you all should be asking isn't, "How is all this possible?" No. The question should be, "How didn't we know this was all possible?"
Six years of assurances cap hell was on the way and you still allowed yourself to believe the tripe. Perhaps busting the cap hell myth as it relates to the Washington tater skins is just too painful a thing for media and fans of other teams to do.
Like a child coming to the harsh knowledge Santa doesn't exist, the media and opposing teams' fans are struggling desperately to hang on to the fiction that cap hell is on the way for the tater skins despite--literally--YEARS of demonstrated contrary evidence.
Here's the best part.
You don't have to hate us for what we're doing. You can do it, too.
"The thing I want to emphasize is this: We haven't done one thing that anybody else can't do," Joe Gibbs said after the introductory press conference for Andre Carter. "We have certain rules in the league. Here's the cap, here's the numbers, here's what you can spend, so everybody in the league can do what we're doing, it's just that they choose not to, many of them."
Deep down, this is really the issue, isn't it? You can do it too and you know it, but, your team doesn't do it, so, you have a hard choice. Hate your team, or hate us.
Say you're a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. You always have all those many millions available, which somehow never seem to get spent. All week you're hearing how you have LeCharles Bentley locked up as your free agent masterstroke to solidify your offensive line.
You are giddy. You're thrilled. You know this is the guy you need. He fills a need and makes it a strength. You're excited about the prospects of adding such a substantial piece. Then, the Cleveland Browns call, offer a few more bucks to Bentley and Bentley winds up in Cleveland leaving you with nothing more than whimpering excuses that Bentley is from Cleveland and always wanted to play there.
Oh, hush.
Antwaan Randle El is from Chicago. He's always wanted to play there. Yet he's playing in D.C. Adam Archuleta admits he adores Lovie Smith after years playing for him with St. Louis and wanted to play with him in Chicago. Yet he's playing in D.C. Andre Carter just had to meet the Broncos because his father played there 12 years and he envisioned being the second generation of his family with the team. Yet he's playing in D.C.
And it's driving you crazy because you were so excited and thrilled about the prospects of adding a good player your management and owner can't figure out how to land while we get EVERY single player we shoot at.
We get to actually live the thrill and giddiness you only get to brush up against. And it's killing you.
Did we pay a premium for generally young players entering their prime with years left to play in the NFL? You bet we did. Kind of like when the Eagles lock up their own young players for a premium before they really emerge on the scene and everyone calls that genius. Think of it like that, only, with the component of actually being smart because an expensive 24-year-old promising receiver suddenly becomes a very cheap 26-year-old receiver when he grabs 80 balls.
See, we already had good players under contract. Now we have more.
As you struggle to find words to describe the coming cap doom heading our way, try to process one final thought. When you have that free agent you need all lined up and you don't get him, well, isn't that really what cap hell feels like?
I wouldn't know, because I don't ever have to feel that way
Writing that is bad. Commemorating it's appearance -- even with ridicule -- is however much worse.
Let it go.
Writing that is bad. Commemorating it's appearance -- even with ridicule -- is however much wores. And whining about someone reposting it is....

no but hes pretty much vanished, which is good enough
unfortunately wash has passed the birds as a franchise since that article was written
I won't go quite that far.....not yet. Eagles are definitely in terrible shape right now and their future is a complete question mark, but let's not pretend that DC is getting ready to break out. They were 7-9 in the worst division in football. Yawn. Besides, every few years they have a mediocre season that shows promise and then they revert back to their loser ways. They haven't made the playoffs in consecutive seasons since Danny bought the team. They've only won 1 playoff game since he bought the team. So until they actually start showing some consistency and sustain winning over multiple seasons, I'm just going to leave them in the basement where they belong.
wash sucks...not trying to say they don't...but they are in a better place now than the eagles
as is pretty much every other team in the nfl
Washington is in a better position currently. More talent better coaching staff.
No franchise is worse simply because of Washington willfully and proudly using a racial slur.

I'm shocked.
you are shocked that a team with three superbowls has passed one with no championships of any kind in the last 56 years?
I don't believe you
you sound like a Dallas fan touting three SBs
The same statement was true 15 years ago. Were they better than the Eagles then?
no they weren't...but they are now...I just don't get why that is shocking to you?
its not like they passed the steelers
the eagles are one of the biggest messes in football right now
but theyre definitely better than a team that beat them twice last year and won the division
Keep on keepin' it real, boys.
Yessir.
That's what Eagle fans say
its good to have you back
This thread is going much better than its predecessor.
I have learned so much.
Somewhat analogous to what is going on between the Eagles and Bradford:
QuoteThe Washington taterskins have broken off negotiations with quarterback Kirk Cousins, a team source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
No further talks are scheduled, the source told Schefter. Another source recently told ESPN that the two sides were not close in earlier discussions and that gap had not been closed in the ensuing weeks.
The source also told Schefter it's not a foregone conclusion that the taterskins would then use the franchise tag on Cousins. Teams have until March 1 to apply the franchise tag.
Apparently the tater skins FO is so disorganized that in 2013 they accidentally paid a (now former) player $40k, which he has refused to give back. They are now suing for it.
How many lawyer hours will Snyder dedicated to recouping 40k? His legal team has to cost him at least $500 per hour.
Idiot organization, from the fans to the owner.
No doubt it is one of the worst organizations is sports, but in this case it could be that they have to sue for league/cap compliance reasons. Which isn't to say megaDan wouldn't sue anyway if that wasn't the case. The Eagles farged up things with Westbrook's contract that took forever to resolve.
The Eagles farged up TO's contract and it cost them an entire season and possibly a Superbowl
Cousins is getting tagged

Seems like the perfect article for that fan base. It is like he guy who is exceedingly proud of himself for crushing it on his fantasy draft day because he was able to pick up ALL eight of his top ranked kickers in as many rounds. Like the number of picks rather than the value of them means anything. Same thing with how many consider themselves football fans and think the same way about "guaranteed money," with no clue how it is guaranteed.
But good for Washington, who has let go of the silly idea of winning the free agent Superbowl and can now focus on what matters - the number of picks championship. Maybe they can use it to once again reign supreme in the retard division.
my god eagle fans are the absolute worst

Racists and cowards of similar ilk are always emboldened by like-minded vulgarity. Besides I'm pretty sure Native Americans have concerns far more important than some moronic football team's name.

daniel snyder is right
At least get laid before giving in dude.
lil dani paid the waspo to put this out tthis weekend in every paper
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ci7_SNyWgAADU0d.jpg)
So it's okay to denigrate 10 percent of a given group. And to publicly thumb your nose at them on top of it all.
i had dc sports radio on in the car for about 30 min over the weekend, and the show was basically asking callers at what percentage should they change the name. so people called in with arbitrary percentage numbers and their ridiculous reasons why. one of the worst things i've ever heard.
The whole "who is offended" thing is one giant smokescreen to avoid having to ask the real questions.
yeah if the poll was 90% against their fans desire to not change the name would be the same
DeSean isn't at the workouts and therefore forfeit's a half a mil workout bonus

Watching this team try to negotiate with Kirk Cousins should relieve any Eagles fans who were concerned that this team might finally have their shtein together.
Tag and trade is looking like a real possibility.
I'm not worried about them achieving any sustained success as long as Snyder owns that team. We've seen this for like 20 years now. Good year followed by 4 or 5 crap. Good year followed by 4 or 5 crap. Rinse and repeat.
The best GM in the game, one Mr Scot McCloughan, will not be attending the combine.
GM
Not at the combine
Reporting live on air, Russell stated president Bruce Allen, coach Jay Gruden, scouts Alex Santos and Scott Campbell, and personnel executive Doug Williams are now running the team. Russell also reported Williams has taken on an "increased role" in the organization, likely at McCloughan's expense. McCloughan now "has nothing to do with anything and has not for a very long time," according to Russell. McCloughan is allegedly missing the Combine due to the passing of his 100-year-old grandmother. Online records show that McCloughan's grandmother passed away on February 6. The funeral occurred on February 13, and the woman was laid to rest the next day

I think the exact quote of the excuse is that he's "dealing with a death in the family". People deal with death in many ways, and it doesn't necessarily end with the funeral. Some people deal by falling off the wagon and drinking for a few months.

The fact that they didn't punish Chris Cooley at all for openly speculating about it, when he didn't even have any evidence, was super unprofessional.
With all the money Snyder has you would think he could hire someone to give him some ideas on how to run a professional office. He just doesn't give a shtein about looking like a scumbag.

Probably doesn't help when those teams are on MNF a whole bunch and aren't good.
when you are over 150 pts worse than the next closest team it ain't about anything but you
but you could also say that means they are getting consistently blown out by other not good teams
Josh Norman will be out for the Eagles MNF game on the 23rd.
Imagine if five years ago someone told you that not only would Kap be out of the league by 2017, so would RGIII. Griffin's career is in such a shambles that no one even talks about him. Amazing how a 10-15 year threat to the Eagles ended so rapidly.
Two words:

I'm going to wait for IGY to tell you how wrong you are before I make up my mind about it.
my man had cuzzo as a top 5 all time qb so im sure hes thrilled hes leaving the nfc east
Damn. Dropping Kirk even before the Super Bowl. I didn't even realize that was possible.
Sounds like the Jets want Cousins

Espn says a 3rd round pick but why do the Racists hate Cousins so much?
ES is melting down
Art even made an appearance!
He says
"I'd take Alex Smith at $17 million over Kirk Cousins at $34 million every day of the week and anyone suggesting differently is simply fibbing.
I would take Kirk at $22 million over Alex at $17 million though given he knows the offense. But, frankly, smith has had a better career, has better mobility, was considered a far better NFL prospect and performed exceptionally well as a game manager with the lowest QB ranking 7 years being 89.1, his first year in KC. we'd be fine with him at the perceived cost of Kirk. And as a stopgap to the next great wonder."
He has a decently high floor this year. Gruden will probably know how to use him. If you've already given up on landing Cousins, it's not a terrible choice. Probably the best of some severely limited options in what was a bad situation for them.
If they didn't believe in the coaching staff so much, I think this team would have a decent case for tanking and just rolling with some Tyrod Taylor level QB. But they think they have the basic structure in place for the future and that Smith can keep them decent enough until they figure out his replacement.
they have no skill position talent, nothing to write home about on defense, a mediocre head coach....and now league average noodle arm alex smith
what do they have in place other than being zesty
Reid sure can move his QB out when he needs to and come out smelling roses, can't he?

QuoteSwearinger, though, took it one step further. His initial comments after the trade stemmed from wondering whether it was a joke to a three-word tweet: "This is unbelievable." His opinions grew harsher Wednesday morning.
It started with a tweet that read, "Never Saw Any Bulls--- Like This In My Life!! Idc who i rub wrong because you never sat in a meeting nor put in work with my dawg!! People say they wanna win right but you throw away your best defender!?!? Somebody you can set a standard with?!?! #Defense will win championships!!" A short time later, he tweeted that the taterskins took a "Major Step down from the best slot corner in The Game!!"
Swearinger later deleted both tweets.
Beautiful
Joke of a franchise is considering tagging Cousins to get compensation and control where he goes. Could easily backfire and set up a game of chicken where he can sabotage trade deals and delay signing the tag until the Skins have to account for him on the cap.
as everyone in the world predicted when the deal was struck this is not ending well and its not near over either

washington is tied this year for the fewest picks in the draft....one of the teams they are tied with are the super bowl champions
One of the reasons the Eagles have few draft picks is because of the shtein they did that won the Super Bowl. They keep doing that, they can tie Washington for draft picks all they want. Washington, on the other hand, doesn't have much in the way of a reason for it.
wait so youre cool with the eagles having the fewest draft picks if they win the super bowl?

QuoteKirk Cousins and agent Mike McCartney first went to the taterskins with the idea of a 3-year, fully guaranteed deal in 2016. Would've cost Washington $58.5 million. Instead, they paid him $43.9 million over two and lost him in Year 3.
Man, they just didn't believe in him from the start.

Jackass indeed
QuoteWhen Washington fan Matt Fraedrich wrote a personal letter to Dan Snyder in December, what he was hoping to get out of it was a long-term commitment from the franchise to quarterback Kirk Cousins. What he actually got was something very different.
Fraedrich got a signed photograph of team owner Daniel Snyder.
"There wasn't even a cover letter or anything," Fraedrich told the Washington Post. "Just one photo of Dan Snyder, signed."
What Fraedrich had asked for was for Snyder to keep Cousins around, something Snyder did not do.
"Please give Kirk Cousins a long-term deal that makes him happy to be taterskin, even if that means making him the highest-paid player in NFL history. Thank you," Fraedrich wrote in his original letter.
Fraedrich said that's all in the past and he's now going to cheer for the team's new quarterback, Alex Smith. But he referred to Snyder responding to his letter with an autographed picture of himself as " kind of a jackass move."
And this photo was from a guy who made his first fortune in marketing and communications.
i hate snyders guts and i think thats pretty farging funny actually

Josh Norman apologizes for 9-month-old rant
After the taterskins' 27-10 win over the Raiders in Week 3 last season, a fiery Josh Norman called out Oakland wide receivers Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper for having the audacity to disrespect him and the rest of the Washington secondary ahead of kickoff, Scott Allen of the Washington Post reports.
"First and foremost, you don't come in here and say what you're going to put up on somebody," Norman said. "Two hundred yards? Did he even catch two balls? He only caught one, huh? So please, whatever you do, do not run your mouth if you're a wide receiver and you expect to show up on Sundays, because I'm telling you, we are here and we are waiting."
In their best defensive performance in 25 years, the taterskins held Cooper and Crabtree to a combined two catches for 13 yards. Norman made sure to rub it in their faces afterward.
"Don't come out here and tell me what you're going to do," he continued. "Show me. You're going to have to run through me to get that, and we ain't letting that happen. So, whatever that young cat said, Coop, go ahead and take it back. Crabtree? I have nothing to say to you."
Cooper was confused by Norman's outburst and told reporters he never predicted he would put up 200 yards against the taterskins.
"I don't know where he gets that from," Cooper said. "As long as I've been here, I've never bragged or anything before or after a game. So I don't know where that comes from."
Norman revealed that taterskins defensive lineman Jonathan Allen, a teammate of Cooper's for two years at Alabama, made the entire thing up to motivate Norman before the game.
Things are not always what they seem.

pretty crazy that btwn him and Corey Coleman two first round wr's in the last three years are almost out of football
There's a handful of others ready to join them soon, too. The WR drafting has been abysmal lately.
John Ross broke the combine 40 record, has been in the league like 15 months, and has next to no role in his offense. The next three draft picks after him were Patrick Mahomes, Marshon Lattimore, and Deshaun Watson.

Wonder if Snyder will sue the Post for saying mean things about him.
Quote

Columnist
January 1 at 12:44 PM
You've got to be either a drunk, a gambler or Daniel Snyder to tank your business in the NFL. The Washington taterskins owner has firmly established just what a bad investment risk he is. It is therefore the height of irresponsibility for any local government to even think of giving him a dime of public money, or a foot of free land, for a new stadium. It would be nothing but a bailout, welfare.
For 19 years Snyder has run the team as a wild personal indulgence, while a seemingly inexhaustible fan base picked up the tab for it. But no more. Oh, he'll never go broke, for the simple reason that it's virtually impossible to lose money as an NFL owner, especially of such a marquee franchise with so many built-in market advantages. Nevertheless, Snyder has done his best to squander and gouge until the team has suffered a precipitous plunge in attendance, ratings and game-day income. Legislators take note: this is what happens to people who partner with him. Nobody emerges with their name or business better off.
Even his fellow owner-billionaires in the NFL are embarrassed and unhappy about the yawning decks of unfilled seats, and the black mood of the few influentials who still go to taterskins games, a league executive told me. If there is one thing that NFL owners don't like, it's "apathy in a major market," the longtime exec said. They are especially bothered by apathy in the nation's capital, where they rely on strong interest and relationships to protect their business practices. "Washington D.C. is Washington D.C.," the executive said, "and there is a trickledown effect." NFL owners put the blame for the bleeding of goodwill squarely on the so-called management of Snyder and his pally team President Bruce Allen, who they regard as "literally, a joke."
All Snyder has done as an NFL owner is freeload off massive revenue streams he didn't help create, while breeding fan ill will. He bought the taterskins for $800 million with a brand-new stadium that was the largest in the league, and sat back and collected his built-in cut of the league's massive TV contracts — which paid every team $255 million last year no matter how they performed. He pressed long-suffering fans to pay $7 for short beers and $40 to park and gave them among the worst food for the highest prices in all of the NFL. In 2016, the taterskins offered the most expensive game-day for a family of four in the entire league, though they've won eight games or fewer in 15 of 19 years.
All around Snyder is scorched earth. He has made FedEx Field, for which he sold the stadium naming rights for an extravagant $205 million back in 1999, perpetually synonymous with low quality. How's that for branding?
Then there are the city fathers of Richmond. Here's how they fared in becoming partners with Snyder. In 2012, they made an eight-year deal to host taterskins training camps through 2020, agreed to build the team an $11 million facility for free, and give the team an additional $500,000 a year in cash and services. In return, Snyder and Allen promised to lure thousands of tourists to the city, to flood hotels and restaurants, and to generate sponsorship fees that would pay for it.
None of it materialized. Richmond had to rob a school fund of more than $5 million to help pay for it, and is facing $750,000 per year in ongoing debt payments. It's a total albatross. When the Richmond city council expressed distress and unwillingness to extend the deal last summer, Allen told the Washington Times, "I'm not going to worry about that right now. I'm just hoping for some sunshine to dry out our fields."
Now do the multiplication and think about the 10-figure damage Snyder could do to any city that takes on a billion-dollar stadium project for him. Even the best arenas rarely deliver on the extravagant promises of their builders; economists say a shopping center is a better investment for your community. To give a single tax dollar to Snyder given his track record would be absolute madness, and anyone who even contemplates it should be turned out of office for malpractice. If Maryland Governor Larry Hogan and various members of the Washington D.C. council continue to play footsie with Snyder, they will get burned, become just another in a long line of people who came to the taterskins with good reputations and left as damaged goods.
Snyder should be left alone to feel the effects of his own mismanagement, without relief. He seeded distrust with poor business practices and made fans hostages to his personal whims, until he has fatally weakened interest in the team. He should have to live with FedEx Field until it is totally empty. Maybe then he will finally get bored, and do everyone a mercy, and sell.
I hope Dannyboy lives a long healthy life. Long may he reign
He's everything I want in a non-Eagle NFC East owner.
He's arrogant, incompetent, greedy, pompous and pigheaded enough to continue using an openly racist slur as a nickname for his business enterprise.
He's perfect for D.C.

art has an opinion about rape
Quoteot a shred? Hmm. Generally it is reported between 2 and 10 percent of reported sexual assaults are proven false. Let us say it is just 4 percent on average. Four of 100 said to have done it are proven to not have. Conversely, every 230 rape reports lead to 5 total convictions. So, what, a hair over two percent are proven true. These are real numbers. Are you sure not a shred of evidence exists to show false reports happen more frequently than true ones?
this is classic art from 10 years ago but with a fresh spice of MAGA
QuoteI understand your point and repeat, your point is largely invalid.
We are not a church.
We are a football team.
There's an opportunity to ASSURE you have a player with the upside to help your team out for years to come. Do you take it or let it slip? You suggest the merest HINT at impropriety means you let it slip. This is foolish if your goal is to be better as a football team. I concur with you that Foster, even if great, doesn't solve all our issues. But it's foolishness to suggest it would have been MORE wise to WAIT to compete against 31 other teams for ANY chance at him than to assure you had the ONLY chance at him.
If it didn't work out you lost nothing and assured pole position. If it worked out you did it right.
And, again, the significance of the reports against him, on this issue, were simply not that serious. The guy CLEARLY has a character flaw and should be sniffing around another honey pot, and I yield he's not shown ANY ability to simply play football and stay out of trouble. So I'm sure he'll do something else stupid that may prevent his potential upside. But, both the future, AND the past are irrelevant. You had a chance for an elite young talent. You have Allen AND Foster from the same draft. That's awesome.
False accusations happen a lot. See the Elliott case. See THIS one, where the woman STILL wants the case to proceed and has been told no. See Kavanaugh (this is just to rile the woke). That you feel it appropriate to pre-emptively strike a man of ALL opportunity because someone said something is, simply the immoral thing to do in a country that is predicated on innocence until PROOF of guilt. I COULD say you could make your moral point IF the prosecution kept forward and Foster was convicted. THEN you have a guy with a conviction. Then you have something to argue. Until then it seems you have chosen to punish first and ask questions later. That seems flawed in America.
Art is the gift of stupidity that keeps on giving

Snyder is running the Skins draft. I hope he lives a long life
He does everything wrong, but in a way he's doing everything right. If you go through the trouble of buying and running of these teams, you might as well have fun playing around with it yourself, and not give a farg about what anyone else thinks. They might suck but at least Danny got to pretend he was a football genius. Like John Du Pont pretending to be a wrestler.
Snyder is the gift that keeps on giving. He's one of the most horrible people in America, and the worst owner in the NFL. I wish him long health, and an abiding interest in the management of his team, and I look forward to another 20 years or so of it. What's better still is that I'll probably live to read his obituary one day, which will be a final satisfaction. Long live Dan Snyder.
Yup.
Jerry Jones too. And for his idiot son to keep up following in pops' steps
the cowboys have actually been a pretty competent franchise....they havent been BAD since the glory run ended. made the playoffs a bunch. generally relevant. havent been good either.

I'm almost positive he can afford a dermatologist visit out of pocket.
You're being obtuse.
Of course the man can afford his own doctor.
He can also afford his own catering. He still eats his meals at the facility.
A player on an NFL team has a whole ecosystem of support staff at the ready, including doctors. Real doctors, supposedly. So I don't think it's crazy to imagine that a player might just go to the team doctor, who is right there, don't have to make an appointment three weeks from now, etc.
I'm sure players are free to see their own doctors, but it wouldn't surprise me if they had to inform the team doctors of all visits to a doctor, emergency room, etc.
So if you have a doctor in house at the ready on the one hand, and on the other you have to make an appointment and report it/the results of it back to the team....I can understand just going to see the team doctor.
If we were talking about any team other than Washington, or perhaps the Bengals who are ruthlessly cheap, the team doctor is probably just as good and just as on the level as any you could find outside the team. But it's Washington, so Snyder has his own stooge doctors.
I don't think it's crazy that Williams would have trusted the team doctors.
I don't think it's crazy either. I'm glad he took control of his own health. In the end no one is a more powerful or effective advocate than oneself.
I remember that for a while their team doctor was James Andrews, probably the most high-profile sports medicine doctor of all time. So I'm not sure that Snyder cheaps out on the medical staff. Of course, that doesn't mean the team's medical staff is good, and even good doctors make the wrong call sometimes, especially in a situation where there's unspoken pressure to keep a star player on the field.
James Andrews wasn't chillin in the locker room at their facility wrapping sprained ankles he was a figurehead who was still mostly doing surgery in Birmingham
Apparently Washington has a QB called Woodrum, and he suffered a torn pec on Thursday, done for the season.
They're having a hard time keeping people healthy.

I fear that a case is building for the league to press for ownership change, which would be very disappointing. I relish Washington dysfunction.
theres zero chance of a forced ownership change....theres a lot of things to worry about these days....that aint one
jerry is the king of nfl owners and he is either real buds or fake buds with danny. hes very very safe.
little danny is a lot of things but you gotta call a player the n word or rape your secretary to get kicked out the league and he hasnt done that, yet.
danni is also best buds with goodell
Plus, the franchise makes stupid amounts of money. If they're not going to take back the Bengals, they're not going to touch a major market team.
Power is way more decentralized among the owners than in the NBA or MLB. I highly doubt even Lurie would vote to take the team from Snyder just because of the precedent and the shift in power it would represent. Goodell gets a ton of heat but he's just an errand boy for the owners.
lurie wouldnt do it for the same reason dio doesnt want it to happen

Annual Lil Danny hit piece. Love it
This is delicious. These farging numbnuts can't get anything right. AP was on inactive yesterday because, according to Jay, "if i'm going to run it 55 times from the I-formation" then he'll be in. What? Dude was the best player on offense last year.
You bench him? LOL. The rest of the team is livid that he was benched. And had he been active, he might have been useful yesterday, particularly when they were up by more than two scores.
Now, Guice is hurt. Likely to miss some time.
https://twitter.com/rapsheet/status/1171100128431788032
So how do they deal now? Jay suddenly decides to run it from the I formation?
I have an idea: AP ought to request a trade, and sit out without one. Let them promote Wendell Smallwood to feature back role, the poor bastich.
It was really perplexing that he was out. I had the misfortune of sitting near some mega kool-aid drinking Skin fans at the bar yesterday, and that was the one thing they wouldn't defend.
I was the solo Eagles fan at my local pub. Two Washington fans, one a loudmouth looking to gloat on me. I'm not a talker or a fighter so I ignored the guy. I was silent for the first three tds because I wasn't about to celebrate early. Jersey James, a Giants fan, wasn't as quiet or well mannered, and really lit into the guy. Ever have a Giants fan do your trash talking for you in bar? I have.
By the end of the game, he had snuck out, wasn't there to hear me sing the fight song as the game ended, at the top of my lungs.
Learned after that the bartender had told the guy to shut his trash talking mouth because "that Eagles fan" is a friend and a regular, you aren't, and this ain't a meathead bar.

The NFL is a good-old-boys network; Gruden would definitely get a job elsewhere

QuoteFor me, I just wouldn't know what to do on a Sunday if I don't have other plans. And if I do have other plans, I'm checking the score.
I just don't see any hope on the horizon. Eagles and Cowboys easily look to be the class of the division and, perhaps, the conference. I fell for it, again. I'm so dumb. I thought we were headed in the right direction, I thought this was going to be a year that we'd see progress. I'm not saying I thought we'd make the playoffs, but I thought we'd be a tough team to play.
I was so wrong. Snyder's here. Bruce is here. Gruden is here. We've got a couple of rookies that could be bright spots, but how soon is it before they get hurt? How soon is it before they get swallowed up in the darkness that is Snyder? McLaurin is already questionable for Sunday. The goodness that's inherent in McLaurin is no match for Snyder's darkness. Four weeks into his pro career...the amount of effort required for Snyder's darkness to take over McLaurin is akin to flicking a booger across the room. It's an afterthought.
The darkness that is Snyder. I posted it last year, this team is cursed. I think sports fans whining about their teams being cursed is just schtick, something to originally sell newspapers (the insufferable Shaughnessy in Boston came up with the Curse of the Bambino) and for sports broadcasters to have fun with. I mean, there's no way that Babe Ruth sat in Sudbury, MA upon learning he'd been traded and put a hex on the Sox, he went to NYC and had an absolute blast. But ****ing Shaughnessy comes up with this phrase, it sticks and it gives sports fans something to point to when they've lost all hope and they can't explain how their team has just twisted the knife a little bit more.
But there's been so much inexplicable stuff over the years that I can't wrap my head around it. And it starts with the theory (not fact, theory) that FedEx is built on a Native American burial ground, which is WAY more believable when it comes to curses than anything Babe Ruth related. You can google it, look it up. It's a rumor, it's a theory but over the past couple of years I've come to believe it.
How else do you explain it? Jack Kent Cooke gets a hair up his ass to build a bigger stadium than RFK and hurries to build this thing out on the beltway that's the last of a dying breed, a big, concrete circular stadium that's a relic to the 70s and 80s and has no soul, no redeeming qualities...and on a Native American burial ground. The Squire passes away, and in his will he requests the team and the stadium to be left to his foundation, bungling any kind of transfer to his sons....it could have been given to his sons and maybe, just maybe, the taterskins could have been like the Rooney's or the Mara's. We'll never know.
Now that the stadium is built on the burial ground and the curse is in place, Snyder buys the team, snatching it out from under John Kent Cooke who couldn't get enough money together to make a good enough offer. And Snyder IS THE CURSE. He's not Darth Vader, he's the Emperor. Darth Vader is kiddie **** compared to what Snyder has going on.
How else can it be explained? How else can terrible decision after terrible decision be explained? How can so many good football people that have come through here over the years just be chewed up and spit out? How can a good, Christian man like Joe Gibbs be lured out of retirement to dance with the devil, only to have his soul crushed when his generational talent, superstar free safety is murdered? Not even the good that is in Joe Gibbs' soul could push back the darkness that stems from Snyder.
How else can you explain RG3's knee snapping? How else can you explain Alex Smith breaking his leg so terribly last year that he's fortunate to walk again? And then how else can you explain Colt breaking his leg the very next week? How else can you explain the countless injuries? How else can you explain every single bad thing that has happened to this team since Snyder has taken over? Sure there are teams out there that are perpetually bad, but I would venture to bet that no team anywhere in the NFL has dealt with anything like we have over the years. Pffft, play for Nick Saban and a good program in Alabama? No match for Snyder's darkness, that's a walk in the park for him.
And now it's coming to this, Snyder is slowly but surely squeezing the life out of the fanbase. There are too many people, too many good fans for it to happen to all at once, it had to take 20+ years. That dark force thing that Darth Vader did where he's all like "I find your lack of faith disturbing," and chokes that dude from the other side of the room? Where do you think he learned that from? That's right, the Emperor. And Snyder is just slowly choking out this fanbase, Sunday by Sunday, year by year. It's the final piece of the curse that the Native Americans have put in place, to just make everything so unbearably bad that the fanbase gets choked out in order for them to stop showing up to this terrible stadium and stomping on their dead ancestors souls every weekend. Look at this very thread, look how many people are slowly being choked out by the dark side that is Snyder and his henchman, Bruce Allen.
The only way it can turn around is if Snyder publicly apologizes to the Native Americans and leave it to a group of them to come up with a new name for the team and move them out of Fed Ex field and then build a shrine/museum to them where Fed Ex currently sits. And rest assured, fellow fans, I am not a pro name change guy because I feel like it's some racist name or an insult and I need to tell everyone what a good person I am...my name change motivation is purely selfish, I just want the team to be better. Let the Native American's have their say, let them come up with a name that makes them proud and move this team back into the city, off the burial ground.
But it'll never happen. Snyder is the curse. And he's not going anywhere.

REPORT: Ron Rivera Is Expected To Be Named The Next Head Coach Of The Washington taterskins
Been awhile since we've heard from Art on ES
This is him in response to someone questioning why the hell Rivera would want the job
QuoteBecause, maybe, JUST MAYBE, this is, outside of Houston which is not available, the best job in the NFL to take over as a coach looking to win and not having the obligation of a complete rebuild. Why would he want to go to a place that doesn't have a potential QB, RB, WR1, WR2 all on rookie deals? Obviously none of those players could work out, but this is the most attractive personnel out there given the contracts and potential. Snyder will pay better than others. AND Rivera has Norv Turner on his staff who he went to and asked and Norv told him, "You won't lack for anything you ask for. But he'll **** you if you're not right most of the time." It's a very attractive job.
The skins aren't even the most desirable team with a coaching vacancy in the East
Damn
Bruce Allen's 10-year run as president of the Washington taterskins is over, per sources. He has been relieved of his duties and is no longer with the organization in any capacity.
Ah yes, Norv Turner. Definitely a guy who's going to give Snyder a big endorsement.
How common is it to hire a coach before a GM/President when you have vacancies for both?
It isn't common, but it doesn't bode well for the GM/coach relationship. I guess that doesn't matter anyway since this is Washington and Rivera will be gone in three or four years either way.
To me it's like you don't have any food and you don't know who's cooking. Naturally, the first thing to do is buy groceries. Right? Then decide who's making something edible from what's available? Yum.
Maybe Rivera will have GM type control.
Shooter McGavin in as DC. Sounds like Rivera is making the personnel decisions at least on the coaching side.
Josh Norman cut.
Hey, they did something right!
And look, another smart move: they exercised the option year on AP's contract. He's cheap and dependable.
A third smart move in a week!
Jordan Reed released.
Apparently, he wants to keep playing. Any team that signs him shows their ass re: player safety. This guy should never play again.
What is it, 7 concussions? He better seek help ASAP. Poor bastich is "headed" for big trouble.

Way to go Danny...
I hope Williams doesn't land with the Cowboys or Giants.
he's old didn't play last year and wasn't great the year before that
also has brain cancer or something.
In today's NFL, to stand up to his team's medical staff and sit instead of getting paid makes him a bit of a unicorn.
I don't care what this dood's methodology was, I just like seeing Washington dead last

QuoteWashington taterskins wide receiver Cody Latimer was arrested early Saturday morning after shots were reportedly fired inside an Douglas County, Colorado, apartment, ESPN reports. This according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Department.
According to a sheriff's department report, a witness said they heard arguing and what sounded like gunshots inside the apartment. One person was identified as having minor, non-gunshot injuries.
Latimer, 27, was taken into custody and sent to the Douglas County Detention Facility. He has been booked on felony charges of assault in the second degree, menacing and illegal discharge of a firearm and misdemeanor charges of prohibited use of a weapon and reckless endangerment.

They took down the Marshall statue. By they, I mean the team with the racial slur as a nickname.
To clarify: the monument to Marshall was located at RFK Stadium in Washingtong, D.C., not at Dan Snyder's toilet bowl in Landover, Maryland, where three NFC East teams that don't have racist names hold their other home game against Washington each year.
to clarify: dc built a statue of an unapologetic racist who refused to sign a black player until he was forced to as part of the deal to build the very stadium where the statue was

I'm going to say Generals or something like that.
Wonder how Art and the boys at ES are handling this
If an actual change takes place, they'll spin it as Danny being a mastermind and working people into a fever pitch to sell more merchandise when they buy the new stuff.

QuoteThe three minority owners of the Washington taterskins are attempting to sell their stakes in the NFL franchise, according to multiple people familiar with the deliberations.
According to one of those people, the owners — Robert Rothman, Dwight Schar and Frederick W. Smith — hired an investment banking firm to conduct the search for potential buyers, in large part because they are "not happy being a partner" of majority owner Daniel Snyder.

Obviously it'll be the best name/logo in the league, just not as good as the old one.

Just wait until they start trotting out the Indians who support the name. That'll be fun.
I have to say I'm enjoying the unhinged reactions over this way more than I should be.
It's like after three-plus years of dealing with Trump and his subhuman followers, it's gratifying as hell watching them get their farging teeth knocked in for a change.

I think they have to stay away from Native American imagery altogether.
I think Red Tails is too specific a reference...team names shouldn't drop below the level of category or type.
ES seemed pretty mellow. most people were like whatever if its gonna go its gonna go ill still wear the old gear and eventually get some new ones *shrug*
meanwhile the white supremacist board was not happy

Someone researched this. It turns out they were one of the worst units. No one wanted to fly with them.

Their top two pro scouts. My guess is tampering, or some kind of Belichick-like camera work.
Conflicting reports but there's some speculation it's something to do with sexism/racism.
The minority owners all noping out of the organization at once can't be just about the name, right?
What could be so bad that money lovers want out of an NFL team?
Yeah - the way that dc insiders are teasing it makes it seem really gross - sexual or racist in nature and not cheating.
Or it could just be journalistic hype BS. The tweet saying the news is dropping tomorrow is dated Sunday night.
It's a team that pimped out its cheerleaders, so anything is possible I guess.
Quote from: QB Eagles on July 15, 2020, 10:49:17 AMOr it could just be journalistic hype BS.
Possible, but if so, the number of people across different outlets who will have to explain themselves is not small. From a PFT blurb on the rumors of a pending bombshell
QuoteFrom JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington on Sunday: "A real busy week. And it's not all going to be about the name and it's not all going to be pretty."
From Jason La Canfora of CBS, who once worked the Washington beat for the Washington Post: "The warped and toxic culture of the Washington Football Team is about to be exposed in a sickening fashion . . . Again."
From Julie Donaldson of NBC Sports Washington on Tuesday: "What's coming is disappointing and sad."
From Scott Abraham of ABC 7: "There is much more going on . . . than a name change. . . . And it's not good. I did not get specifics, but get ready people."
Maybe there's nothing but Washington is led by a Donald Trump Class scumbag, so we've got good reason to hope that it's terrible news...just maybe not quite so terrible that he's forced to sell, and will just struggle incompetently for decades more...
My female go-worker is a huge DC fan. We were chatting in my office on Monday and she brought up how sad it was that they were forced to change the name. I agreed that it was sad they were forced by FedEx and $600B worth of corporate firepower to change the name when it should have been changed years ago. You now, because of simple human decency.
I went on to say my favorite owner in the NFC East is Danny Snyder because with him as an owner we can usually count on kicking his team's ass most years, or at the very least never having to worry about them challenging the Birds for the division.
She actually laughed and said she knew I would say something like that because her boyfriend, a die-hard from South Jersey, busted her chops about it before she left for work that morning.
I asked her what name she'd prefer, and to her credit she went with Red Tails because it honors people instead of demeaning them. Pretty sure that came from her boyfriend too.
It's unreal just how upset they are over this. I mean farg, it's an ACTUAL racial slur.
I'm a bit of a hypocrite myself being an FSU fan but if they changed the name I wouldn't "stop being a fan" in protest. That's just idiotic. I'd accept it and move on. I do hope they end the tomahawk chop thing, though. It's gross and it reeks of Jim Crow era stench.
https://twitter.com/awfulannouncing/status/1283771381205762049
I saw a tweet yesterday saying it was gonna be so bad that it'll be Dan Snyder has to sell the team bad.
These rumors and innuendo have been going on most of the week. Probably going to be a big letdown in the end.
Let's see those rumors flying. https://twitter.com/NotABurnerAcnt/status/1283610681498009600
Honestly, I'd miss Snyder farging up a division rival and keeping them in the basement 9 out of every 10 seasons.
I am thoroughly enjoying this.
Seriously though, how much worse can it be than "We stole our cheerleader's passports and pimped them out."

Dont subscribe to Wapost but article dropped 15 women accused taterskins employees of sexual harassment. Copy/paste is welcome
A few months after Emily Applegate started working for the Washington taterskins in 2014, she settled into a daily routine: She would meet a female co-worker in the bathroom during their lunch breaks, she said, to commiserate and cry about the frequent sexual harassment and verbal abuse they endured.
They cried about the former chief operating officer's expletive-laced tirades, Applegate said, when she recalled him calling her "f-----g stupid" and then requesting she wear a tight dress for a meeting with clients, "so the men in the room have something to look at." They cried about a wealthy suiteholder who grabbed her friend's backside during a game, Applegate said, and the indifference the team's top sales executive displayed when she complained.
But most of all, Applegate said, they cried about the realization their dream job of working in the NFL came with what they characterized as relentless sexual harassment and verbal abuse that was ignored — and, in some cases, condoned — by top team executives.
Applegate is one of 15 former female taterskins employees who told The Washington Post they were sexually harassed during their time at the club. The other 14 women spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing a fear of litigation because some signed nondisclosure agreements with the team that threaten legal retribution if they speak negatively about the club. The team declined a request from The Post to release former female employees from these agreements so they could speak on the record without fear of legal reprisal. This story involved interviews with more than 40 current and former employees and a review of text messages and internal company documents.
Team owner Daniel Snyder declined several requests for an interview. Over the past week, as The Post presented detailed allegations and findings to the club, three team employees accused of improper behavior abruptly departed, including Larry Michael, the club's longtime radio voice, and Alex Santos, the team's director of pro personnel.
In a statement, the team said it had hired D.C. attorney Beth Wilkinson and her firm, Wilkinson Walsh, "to conduct a thorough independent review of this entire matter and help the team set new employee standards for the future."
"The Washington taterskins football team takes issues of employee conduct seriously ... While we do not speak to specific employee situations publicly, when new allegations of conduct are brought forward that are contrary to these policies, we address them promptly," the team said.
The allegations raised by Applegate and others — running from 2006 to 2019 — span most of Snyder's tenure as owner and fall into two categories: unwelcome overtures or comments of a sexual nature, and exhortations to wear revealing clothing and flirt with clients to close sales deals. Among the men accused of harassment and verbal abuse are three former members of Snyder's inner circle and two longtime members of the personnel department:
Michael, senior vice president of content and "the voice of the Washington taterskins." Seven former employees said Michael routinely discussed the physical appearance of female colleagues in sexual and disparaging overtones. In 2018, Michael was caught on a "hot mic" speaking about the attractiveness of a college-aged intern, according to six former employees who heard the recording. Michael declined an interview request and retired Wednesday.
Santos, the club's director of pro personnel, was accused by six former employees and two reporters who covered the team of making inappropriate remarks about their bodies and asking them if they were romantically interested in him. In 2019, Santos was the subject of an internal investigation after Rhiannon Walker, a reporter for the Athletic, informed club management Santos had pinched her, told her she had "an ass like a wagon," and repeatedly asked her to date him, Walker said in an interview with The Post. Nora Princiotti, a reporter for The Ringer who formerly covered the team, also said in an interview that she was harassed by Santos. Santos, who was fired this past week, declined to comment.
Richard Mann II, assistant director of pro personnel, who in one text message obtained by the The Post told a female employee he and his colleagues debated whether her breasts had been surgically enhanced and in another text message told another female employee to expect an "inappropriate hug ... And don't worry that will be a stapler in my pocket, nothing else." Mann, who also was fired last week, declined to comment.
Dennis Greene, former president of business operations, implored female sales staff to wear low-cut blouses, tight skirts and flirt with wealthy suite holders, according to five former employees, including Applegate. Greene's 17-year career with the club ended in 2018 amid a scandal over the revelation he had sold access to taterskins cheerleaders — including attendance at a bikini calendar photo shoot in Costa Rica — as part of premium suite packages. Greene declined to comment.
Mitch Gershman, former chief operating officer, who Applegate said routinely berated her for trivial problems such as printer malfunctions while also complimenting her body. Two other former female employees supported Applegate's account of her sexual harassment and verbal abuse by Gershman, who left the team in 2015.
"It was the most miserable experience of my life," Applegate, now 31, said of her year working as a marketing coordinator for the club, which she left in 2015. "And we all tolerated it, because we knew if we complained — and they reminded us of this — there were 1,000 people out there who would take our job in a heartbeat."
Gershman, in a phone interview, denied Applegate's allegations.
"I barely even remember who she is," Gershman said. "I thought the taterskins was a great place to work ... I would apologize to anyone who thought that I was verbally abusive."
No woman accused Snyder or former longtime team president Bruce Allen of inappropriate behavior with women, but they expressed skepticism the men were unaware of the behavior they allege.
"I would assume Bruce [Allen] knew, because he sat 30 feet away from me ... and saw me sobbing at my desk several times every week," Applegate said.
Allen, who was fired at the end of last year, did not reply to interview requests.
While Applegate and others did not accuse Snyder of acting improperly with women, they blamed him for an understaffed human resources department and what they viewed as a sophomoric culture of verbal abuse among top executives that they believed played a role in how those executives treated their employees.
Snyder routinely belittled top executives, according to three former members of his executive staff, perhaps most intensely Greene, the former sales executive, whom Snyder mocked for having been a male cheerleader in college. After one executive staff meeting, according to one former employee, Greene said Snyder had ordered him to do cartwheels for their entertainment.
"I have never been in a more hostile, manipulative, passive-aggressive environment ... and I worked in politics," said Julia Payne, former assistant press secretary in the Clinton Administration who briefly served as vice president of communications for the team in 2003.
Payne did not witness or endure sexual harassment, she said, but she supported what many other former employees said about the culture under Snyder.
"With such a toxic, mood-driven environment, and the owner behaving like he does," said Payne, "How could anyone think these women would go to HR?"
Unwelcome advances
On the first day of working for the team, new employees are given a manual that describes the organization's core values.
"Congratulations on becoming a member of an elite team of people involved in a franchise with a tremendous past and a promising future," the handbook states. "The level of media and public scrutiny of the Washington taterskins magnifies any inappropriate or unprofessional behavior, so a high level of professionalism is required from all employees."
While there is a section discussing sexual harassment, many former employees said, if there is a process for handling sexual harassment complaints, it's never discussed in the club's brief onboarding process.
It was the most miserable experience of my life. And we all tolerated it, because we knew if we complained — and they reminded us of this — there were 1,000 people out there who would take our job in a heartbeat.
The team's human resources staff consists of one full-time staffer — who also performs administrative duties at team headquarters — responsible for more than 220 full-time employees, according to several former employees.
"There's no HR," said one former veteran female employee who left in 2019. "And there was never a reporting process, nor was one explained to new employees about how you should report something."
In a statement, the taterskins pointed out the team hired a new human resources manager in 2019, and this employee works with the team's legal department on any issues involving employee conduct.
Former women employees said the first few weeks at taterskins Park also often came with an informal, but invaluable, orientation administered privately by veteran female employees who warned them to avoid certain people and places, such as the staircase near the entrance to team headquarters.
Lined at the top with transparent plexiglass, the stairs descend from the lobby to the locker room and training area, and someone standing at the bottom can look up the skirt of a woman standing at the top.
One former female member of the executive staff learned this lesson early in her tenure, she said, when she looked down to see a male trainer, two floors down, staring right back up, walking step for step with her.
"He even leaned to get a better angle," the woman said. "He wasn't even trying to hide it."
For many women, their jobs with the team were their first out of college. Several expressed a sense of shame, and said they realized they had accepted behavior years ago they now realize was inappropriate, such as an unwanted shoulder rub or a compliment about their legs.
"It was my first job, so I kind of normalized it," said a woman who worked for the club for several years and departed in 2019. "And it was happening to every single one of my female co-workers under the age of 40."
Training camp in Richmond in August was a hotbed of improper activity, several women said. Some encouraged younger female staffers to avoid the Tobacco Company, a bar and restaurant in a stately brick building frequented by team officials.
"I was propositioned basically every day at training camp," said one female employee who worked for the team in the mid-2010s for several years. The overtures came in the form of a whispered invitation from one coach at the Tobacco Company to his hotel room, she said, as well as emails and text messages from other male staffers, also disclosing their room numbers and offering invitations for late-night visits.
Attending the annual NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, former female employees said, also heightened the likelihood of unwanted attention and propositions at places such as Prime 47, a steakhouse and bar popular with league officials and journalists.
I have never been in a more hostile, manipulative, passive-aggressive environment ... and I worked in politics. ... With such a toxic, mood-driven environment, and the owner behaving like he does, how could anyone think these women would go to HR?
Julia Payne, former assistant press secretary in the Clinton Administration who briefly served as vice president of communications for the taterskins in 2003.
At the 2019 combine, Rhiannon Walker, new to the taterskins beat for The Athletic, arrived at Prime 47 to learn that Santos, the club's scouting director, had been asking her reporting colleagues if they thought she might be interested in him, she said in a phone interview this week. They tried to discourage him — outside of the ethical concerns, Walker said, her colleagues knew she was in a committed relationship and wouldn't ever date a married man — but Santos was undeterred, she said she was told upon arriving.
Santos approached, she said, and the conversation started innocently. He showed her photos of his wife and young daughters on his phone, Walker recalled, reading from notes she later provided to her company's lawyers describing the incident. Then Santos told Walker she had "worn the f---" out of her jeans the day before, she said, and asked if she would date him, if they were single.
"I told him that I do have a girlfriend, and he does have a wife, so we don't need to play hypotheticals here," Walker said. "I was pretty blunt."
Santos kept attempting to flirt for several minutes and told Walker he would "wear me down with his charm," she recalled. Then he pinched her on the hip, in full view of other team employees and reporters, she said. Walker felt humiliated, she recalled, and concerned some people who saw what had happened would think she had welcomed the attention.
"It felt like pretty much the worst thing in the world," Walker said. "He didn't care. He thought it was funny."
Walker later filed a complaint with the team. In a statement, The Athletic supported her account, and confirmed the company's attorneys spoke with taterskins management about Walker's allegations.
"The Athletic unequivocally stands by Rhiannon Walker's account of the harassment she endured from Mr. Santos," the company said.
Soon after her incident with Santos, Walker said, she learned of another reporter who alleged she had endured similar harassment: Nora Princiotti, who covered the team for the Washington Times in 2017.
Princiotti, in a phone interview, said on two or three occasions, Santos pulled his SUV alongside her as she was walking out of taterskins Park, and offered commentary on her body and wardrobe.
"He told me I had a great ass for a little white girl," Princiotti said. "The general sentiment was that I should wear less clothing."
Like Walker, Princiotti said she was struck by how brazenly Santos acted, as well as other team employees who commented on her looks. Princiotti said one male member of the communications staff once told her she had a nickname around taterskins Park: "Princihottie."
"It was gross and also just a terrible pun," she said. "There was an overwhelming sense that no one would ever do anything about this stuff."
Walker informed Tony Wyllie, then the team's vice president of communications, about Princiotti's allegations, she said, and Princiotti confirmed she spoke to Wyllie about Santos. Wyllie, who left the team in 2019, declined to comment for this story. A few weeks later, team lawyers informed The Athletic that Santos had been disciplined but declined to specify how, Walker said.
Santos was fired last week, after The Post informed the team of allegations raised by other former female staffers. One former female staffer said she received a text, one night after work, in which Santos told her he had wanted to kiss her that day in the break room. Another former female employee said Santos told her, as she was walking into the office one day, she had a "nice butt" and asked her to turn around for him.
"I am done with the NFL," the woman said. Her experience with the taterskins "has killed any dream of a career in pro sports."

Santos was fired along with his top scouting assistant Richard Mann II, who sent flirtatious, sexual texts to two former female employees they provided to The Post.
In an exchange with one former female colleague, Mann joked about getting an "inappropriate hug." In two exchanges with another female colleague, Mann informed her he and his colleagues were discussing whether her breasts had been surgically enhanced — "real or fake is the debate," he texted — and offered to bring her lunch for a favor.
"If I bring that I want to squeeze your butt," Mann texted.
"Unfortunately that was (is?) the culture," one of these women texted a reporter, after forwarding the messages. "So we felt like we had to roll with it."
In a phone interview, new team coach Ron Rivera declined to discuss why Santos and Mann were dismissed.
"We're trying to create a new culture here," Rivera said. "We're hoping to get people to understand that they need to judge us on where we are and where we're going, as opposed to where we've been."

'Voice of the taterskins'
To fans and the general public, Larry Michael is perhaps one of the more consistent aspects of a franchise marked by regular personnel turnover. The team's lead play-by-play broadcaster for the past 16 years, Michael also served as senior vice president in charge of content, overseeing the club's website and video department.
But among his mostly male staff on the video and digital teams, Michael for years had become a growing source of discomfort, according to four former employees, because of his penchant for off-color commentary about female colleagues.
"It was always objectifying; it was always derogatory. ... I wouldn't even know what to do. I would just shake it off," one former male staffer said. "We're all just afraid for our jobs and trying to make it."
During training camp in 2017, Michael saw a young woman from the sponsorship staff walk by and turned to one of his staffers and commented on her "tight ass," before adding a remark about her social life, the staffer said.
"He said you can't mess with her, though ... because you know she's f-----g every guy on the team, right?," said this staffer, who afterward mentioned the comment to four colleagues, including a veteran female employee.
"I was mortified, but not surprised," the female employee said. Years earlier, Michael had squeezed this woman's face after a late-night taping of a team program and told her "she was so cute," she said.
Another comment, recalled by two former male employees, involved a female colleague of Egyptian descent.
"He said it looked like she definitely had a little Greek in her because of her lighter skin complexion, as well as that ass," one former male employee said.
None of these employees filed formal complaints, they said, because they never thought anything would come of it.
"They're not going to get rid of 'The Voice of the taterskins' ... over a $30,000-a-year marketing manager," one former male staffer said.
Michael was the subject of one complaint in 2018, according to six former team staffers, after he was recorded discussing one female intern during practice one day. The incident occurred as Michael was being filmed for a team video production, former employees said, and an intern walked by.
Former team employees who heard the video had different recollections of the precise wording, but agreed Michael remarked about how attractive he found the intern, who was in college.
"It was disgusting," said one former female employee who heard the audio. "This is a grown man who could be my grandfather, and he's talking about someone younger than me."
One female employee complained about the video to the club's legal department, and a team attorney took the hard drive from the employee who had discovered the video. When the lawyer returned the hard drive, this employee said, the file had been deleted. It was unclear to staffers aware of the incident whether Michael was disciplined.
"The club's legal department removed the file from the hard drive and maintained the file in the organization's confidential HR/Legal records where it still resides," the team said in a statement.
On Wednesday morning, The Post requested an interview with Michael and informed club officials about comments attributed to Michael by his former employees and the "hot mic" incident.
Hours later, Michael announced his retirement.
"After 16 great years my time with the organization is over," Michael said in a statement. "On to the next chapter."
Volatile environment
Before Emily Applegate changed jobs in December 2014, moving from working at FedEx Field to the team's marketing department in Ashburn, she was warned by co-workers about her new boss, Mitch Gershman, she recalled. The club's chief marketing officer had a reputation for an explosive temper, Applegate said, but not sexual harassment.
"I guess I was lucky enough to be more his type," Applegate said.
Gershman often commented on her body or appearance, she said, in tandem with insults about her work performance.
"He would tell me I was stupid for not being able to print something out the way he wanted, and directly follow with, 'Oh, did you run extra yesterday, you look really good,'" Applegate said.
Gershman told Applegate never to wear flats, only heels, she said, and suggested form-fitting dresses for nighttime events with premium clients. He also inquired about her dating life, and expressed concern she didn't have a boyfriend, she said. In a text message exchange Applegate provided to The Post, she asked him about his plan for an upcoming sales meeting.
"Not part of it. No worries. Go find a dude!!" he replied.
There were also routine outbursts of rage, Applegate said, such as when Gershman got lost on the way to Joe Theismann's Restaurant in Alexandria, after asking her to print out directions for him.
"All he had to do was type it in a GPS, and he spent 20 minutes screaming at how f-----g incompetent I was for not giving him proper directions," she said. "I would leave work crying probably four days out of the week."
Gershman, in a brief phone interview, alternately denied and said he didn't recall conversations referenced by Applegate.
"I can't comment on something that I can't remember," he said.
(https://www.washingtonpost.com/resizer/Y_9N_Z055Lv8qgbqws28uSp7EKM=/866x0/arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/C7ISCT6Y3BCLDMZOWHSKISDPYI.jpg)
One other team executive repeatedly commented on Applegate's appearance, she said: Dennis Greene, who held the high-pressure job of overseeing sales of luxury seating and premium suites at FedEx Field.
On one occasion, Applegate said, Greene complimented her on leggings she was wearing.
"He made a comment about how great I looked in these leggings because they were so tight," she said. "That was actually the only time Mitch said something like, 'Dennis, you can't say something like that.' "
Women who worked for Greene hold conflicting feelings about their former boss. While they acknowledge he made inappropriate remarks and pressured them to wear revealing outfits and flirt with current and prospective suiteholders, they also were aware Greene faced tremendous pressure from Snyder to sell expensive seats for a team whose on-the-field product often made his job challenging.
Snyder "would humiliate Dennis in front of other executives because he was a cheerleader in college ... and Dennis took everything. He did everything and anything he had to, to make sure those suites were sold out year after year," one former saleswoman said.
But even those sympathetic to Greene said his conduct left them with emotional scars. One saleswoman, who worked in the 2005 to 2010 time frame, recalled that Greene repeatedly offered to connect her with a plastic surgeon if she wanted breast enhancement surgery. He said he knew a doctor who had performed several procedures for cheerleaders, she recalled, and he could "get her a great rate."
"Reducing a young woman to thinking that she can only do her job well if she wears a certain thing or exposes part of her body is demeaning," this former saleswoman said. "It puts women in their place."
'I don't see what I have to be afraid of,' Applegate says. 'I'm just telling the truth.'
Retribution concerns
Over the past few days, Applegate said, she has received messages from several former taterskins co-workers who have asked if she's concerned about potential retaliation she could face from the club. She has told them she's not concerned, she said. She has no interest in working in professional sports again, took the LSATs this week, and is studying for law school.
"I don't see what I have to be afraid of," she said. "I'm just telling the truth."
To some of her former colleagues, there is one anecdote from Applegate's time with the team that troubles them most. In 2015, Applegate said, she was pulled aside by Eric Schaffer, the club's general counsel and senior vice president, who left earlier this year.
Schaffer was appalled by the verbal abuse Applegate endured from Gershman, she said he told her, and he offered to serve as a witness or connect her with a lawyer if she wanted to file a formal complaint. Applegate declined, and said she feared making an issue of Gershman's conduct would mark the end of her career with the team.
I barely even remember who she is. I thought the taterskins was a great place to work ... I would apologize to anyone who thought that I was verbally abusive.
Applegate regards Schaffer as one of the few male team executives who treated her well. Some of her former colleagues, however, expressed outrage that Schaffer didn't file a complaint of his own. According to the employee manual, "all supervisory and management personnel of the taterskins organization are expected to take immediate and appropriate action to prevent or stop harassment in the workplace of which they become aware."
Schaffer declined to comment. Applegate said she understands why he didn't make an issue of her treatment in 2015. It's the same reason she never filed a complaint.
"I needed to keep my job," she said. "When it comes down to it, 98 percent of people make decisions on stuff like this based on needing to keep their jobs ... which is why this stuff goes on for so long."
Sounds like enough to humiliate the Skins but not enough to take the team away from Danny Boy. Good stuff.
This can't be all there is. This is nasty, but not "minority owners selling off to not be associated" or "we hired a super expensive attorney for no real reason, why do you ask" or "the story got delayed" nasty. Still pretty disgusting, and if we lived in a world that gave a damn instead of this hellscape, it would be enough to get Snyder out.

Was thinking the same thing...they need to change their corporate culture but this isn't earth shattering stuff.
If anyone ever said anything remotely like that and I as a director witnessed it, they would be in front of an HR officer so fast it would make their head spin.
That said, this is a team whose owner insisted until about ten minutes ago that he would NEVER stop using a racial slur as his team nickname.
Maybe it's not a surprise that this sort of appalling behavior was openly tolerated. I mean why wouldn't it be?
Checking in on our pals at ES
Originally it was a rumor Snyder had paid off the refs.
And then a bunch of "nothingburger" and "Bezos owns the Post so it's likely a lie"
Just getting to where the story dropped.
Epic letdown
This can't be the whole enchilada can it?
Sure it can - it's The Post
This is nothing but maybe equal to Robert Kraft level stuff
There are some posters who are repulsed though.
It's now been equated to Kraft twice and someone said Favre's dick pic was worse
Another said "oh nbd just like working in any restaurant"
Two people came strong and said this is why the Me Too movement is a thing
a more apt comparison would be to the Mavericks
I don't know what you're on about Phreak. Story lives up to the hype. Three named top level creeps all quit suddenly, Snyder hired counsel/PR announcing internal review, article is heavy with backup, etc. Minority owners running for the hills. And then there's the now universally admitted racial slur retirement, etc. It's a huge story that dovetails perfectly with eveyrthing we've ever known about Snyder. He is DJT-class trash.

Minority owners aren't selling off because of this news. Much more likely that the causality goes the other way -- this became news because the minority owners are trying to force a sale by Snyder. Whole article is an attempt to pile on Snyder when he's at his most vulnerable. Mind you, I'm not against piling on this lowlife, but I'm not sure this article even comes out if the name change stuff hadn't been going on.

I'm a little hurt I'm not mentioned in this post
I think Snyder actually sees himself as a minority owner. Not so much in terms of the corporate structure, more in a marge schott kind of way.

To my knowledge, Snyder isn't running concentration camps. The people that go to their home games aren't forced against their will, probably.
Cheeto Dick is worse than Danny Boy
Only because he has more power, I think. The two are very similar.

AP released
Apparently Snyder has a cadre of private investigators rooting around, bothering former employees, and the NFL has told him to back off.
QuoteThe Washington Post interviewed eight people who said they were approached by private investigators, either at their homes or via phone calls, seeking information about Snyder's former executive assistant, the team's workplace or both.
The NFL recently told Snyder to curtail his use of private investigators, Debra Katz, attorney for former executive assistant Mary Ellen Blair, said in court Friday

Haskins still not back at practice, with a not-COVID "illness" that's kept him away from the team since his demotion from starter to inactive last week.
The Eagles organization functions poorly. Washington is straight up dysfunctional.
Hey, end of the day this clown beat the Eagles after being down 17-0 so he can do ding-dong ditch in his neighborhood, throw water balloons at cars, prank call business establishments, go crazy young man.

To the surprise of no one, the allegedly charitable foundation established by Snyder to take the heat off his racist business name by doing very little for Native people hosted a malignantly sexist work environment. Read on if you care to be disgusted (again) by Snyder's unrelentingly retrograde character. In our current public sphere, only Our Dear Leader can compare to this human trash.
He must hate the Post more than the women who have rejected him all his pitiful life. They keep dropping truth bomb after fact bomb on his atrocious scam of a business.

washington's best qb nearly died 2 years ago and has 1 actual leg and is better than the eagles best two qbs combined
Nick Foles is the second most successful QB in this division in the last 20 years, behind only Eli Manning.
I don't care.
They shouldn't have picked him. Snyder overrode his football people. It blew up in his face and I find it hilarious.
It's like when the kid whose dad is the owner of the concrete company wrecks the new truck on pills for the third time and even the old man has to fire him...
take the silliness of an eagle fan laughing at wash right now out of it
i would have much rather him been an average or slightly below average qb for five years and then they move on...this was the best possible thing that could have happened to them
they obviously need a piece or two more than a qb...but they are only a qb away from being a division contender for a long time...thats how good their defensive line is...haskins holding them back for the near future would have been more preferable
All valid points.
But its still funny to me. farg Snyder. The Eagles drafts have sucked too and we know that. But it doesn't stop me from finding humor in the WFT crapping themselves again.
And Rivera is going to go with Kyle Allen most likely
I completely agree with the farg Danny sentiments. But we have our own retards to tend to in our own house before we start adopting others.
washington is perhaps the worst franchise in sports owned by the worst person and in 3 years after the eagles won a super bowl and they are better than them in every way shape and form

So they've hired a G.M. and apparently he's going to report to Rivera.
What? Where else in the NFL does the general manager position slot under head coach in the org chart?
It's just a recognition of the real power structure. Riviera de facto took over the Bruce Allen position as football czar there. They also hired Marty Hurney as executive VP of player personnel, who was Riviera's guy from Carolina.
Are there any other teams in the NFL with HC at the top of the leadership structure?
Reid for one. Belichick too. They have execs but the power lies with them.
Gruden runs the show in Las Vegas too.

Hysterical. Don't fix the problem (booting Snyder), make it worse by keeping him there.
they have come a long way which is why i think they are letting him stay
lil danni you change the name and make an honest effort to clean up your house and we will let you keep the franchise
next will be a new stadium in dc and a future sb
I hope Bowser et al. stick to their guns and force him to pay for his stadium himself...people of D.C. shouldn't be on the hook for it
no shot the dc stadium happens
danny isnt paying for himself and that liberal ass city isnt giving him one cent of public funds
im with you but there is no chance they arent moving back to dc...i think they eventually would have anyway but the name change locked it in
Yeah no chance they don't return to the city proper, and the rfk site specifically...
theyll be at fedex forever...danny will never ever pay for 100% of it and the city wont budge
stop
Bezos would have held an Amazon distribution center hostage for a stadium deal. Another mistake on the NFL's part.

Not a surprise. Flacco is basically Smith without the near-death experience.
Flacco also represents lower challenge to Hurts, is more clearly a veteran backup for emergency use only, whereas the way Smith was playing, you could see a controversy brewing if the kid doesn't play well immediately. With Flacco, Hurts can stink it up all year and no one will be hollering for the back up to play.

You're overestimating Eagles fans here. If Hurts stinks people will be grumbling by Week 3. Especially if he looks bad in camp and preseason too.
Also this week Sirianni refused to name Hurts the starter, so you might be overestimating the team too. I think they stick with Hurts all year unless they draft a 1st round QB, but it's far from guaranteed. I expect the team to be epicly bad no matter what they do.
Why any team even cares about a media or fan generated QB controversy is beyond me. Everyone on the team should understand that they are in constant competition with the team's other options at the position. That's how it's been for them since they were in Pee-Wee league. You'd think they would want to move away from players like Wentz who demand constant reassurances and ego stroking. In every media appearance so far Sirianni talks about his love of competition in a clownishly exaggerated fashion, so I I doubt he's ride or die about Hurts.
They had a stadium full of people chanting for AJ Feely, they would absolutely want Flacco in. Probably a larger percentage of them would be openly racist about it, too.
People also pined for Koy.
dio used to soft as a baby's ass Baltimore sports scene
also there's like an 80% chance flacco is a better nfl qb than hurtz this year
ryan kerrigan instagramed overnite that hes leaving washington...wtf??
i had no idea he was not signed much less had any chance of not playing for them this year...did this come out of nowhere or do i really just not follow the nfl anymore?
It didn't get much media attention but he's been in the group of old guys from the 2011 draft class (along with Richard Sherman and Justin Houston) who can still contribute in a backup or rotational rule but weren't seen as worth endangering the compensatory pick formula to sign before the draft.
WFT is stacked at DE so it's not a huge surprise they are letting him walk, but I was kinda expecting them to quietly sign him to a one year deal like the way the Eagles kept going back to the JP well year after year during his decline.
and just like that hes an eagle
Birds could use Sherman while they're at it.
Little Danny Snyder made his wife "Co-CEO," and they dropped a press release about how the move indicates their commitment to "diversity of opinion" and "core values that are central to our philanthropy," whatever that means, or has to do with football, I'm not sure.
Definitely a tax dodge or way to get her to keep quiet about the no-doubt-vomit-inducing details of his criminal buffoonery.
Or both.
I can't believe his wife was responsible for all the executives laying down to beat off under the glass stairs when women were walking up them in skirts.

$10M is chicken feed to that shteinbag. The NFL should have seized the franchise and auctioned it off to the highest bidder.
Lol at him turning it over to his wife, though. Sexual misconduct is outlawed but nepotism? All-in, baby!

And ever since they made him take down the "whites only" sign on the C-suite bathroom, things haven't been going well for Danny, either.

Washington leads the league ... in empty seats.
QuoteIn five home games, according to ESPN, Washington has an average paid attendance of 51,291 — 62.6 percent capacity at FedEx Field. That average is well below the 65,488 (79.9 percent capacity) the team reported in 2019, which ranked 20th of 32 NFL teams.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/11/19/washington-football-team-jason-wright-attendance-culture/
QuoteThey have somehow managed to draw fewer fans than the winless Detroit Lions, who are averaging 52,016 per home game. Washington, fourth in average attendance in 2011 and 20th in 2019, are the only team in the NFL selling fewer than 80% of their tickets (Washington home games average 62.6% capacity, the next lowest rate in the league is the Lions' 80.7%). To make matters worse, many of the fans who do buy tickets come to root for the other team.
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/nov/17/empty-seats-and-scandals-it-appears-no-one-wants-to-be-a-washington-fan
what I take from that piece is not the attendance part of it but that it's just another example of what corrupt liars management was and if you are going to lie about something so trivial as attendance figures you certainly are going to lie about shtein like I don't know....sexual harassment and and overall toxic workplace
What I take is that this Jason wright guy is a shameless money lover who is more than willing to trade dignity for dollars in service to anyone who will pay.
a got on the waiting list for eagles and taterskins season tickets at the same time in the early 2000s. both said the wait would be many years. eagles actually did take me about ten years or so until I finally got them. taterskins called me back within a few weeks. told them they were liars and hung up.
the great thing about the wash attendance story is the reason for it being so bad is 100% the product
if the team was good despite the awful culture and awful stadium and awful experience theyd sell every seat. nobody goes because the team stinks
The stadium also stinks. I mean, it's reason enough to consider just doing something else with your life that day even if you have free tickets. It's awful.
The stadium itself is fine...it's no better or worse than the linc...it's the location that is horrific
I'm not saying lil guy is wrong that if they were good they would not sell out cause they easily would but the stadium definitely keeps a lot of lpeople away when they aren't good
Is the dead tree crew still around
Not to my knowledge but I also stopped thinking about them like 15 years ago
I'll never forget me and sarge rollin up on them talking shtein...they talked back and surrounded us I think threw some shtein at us but didn't do a god damn thing for all the online shtein talking they used to do and it was like 30 on 2
The stadium itself is also awful. The Linc is much nicer. Remind me not to ask you about architecture.
I mean the linc aesthetically is nicer but no one goes to football games for the architectural integrity of the stadium...these people are largely animals...both have parking lots to tailgate in seats to sit in and beers to drink...all football stadiums are the same....the only thing that separates them is locale
most invested I've ever been in a WFT game last night - just out of spite really - that would have been a historically soul crushing loss. sucks the Seahawks couldn't pull it out. I bet they win the division now.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2021/12/14/daniel-snyder-nfl-investigation/
Hours after the Washington Post reported that team owner Daniel Snyder used a bribe, intimidation and private investigators to thwart a probe into allegations of Washington Football Team workplace misconduct, Congress demanded answers from the NFL.
The House Committee on Oversight and Reform released a statement on Tuesday that the "NFL must immediately turn over all evidence of Snyder's interference and the other documents we requested over a month ago."
The statement was cosigned by Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY), Chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy. It cites "new reporting about Snyder's efforts to obstruct an internal investigation by attorney Beth Wilkinson into allegations of wrongdoing within the Washington Football Team."

Supposed leak is the Washington Admirals but I've seen an iteration of "Hogs" like Red Hogs too.

They posted it last week by accident
Washington is advertising a tailgate party for the announcement of their new team name but it's not on the day of the announcement
They can't do anything right. Its impressive how dysfunctional they continue to be.
Commanders is a solid name tho

Mistake 2: Being a public figure who writes his own Twitter posts
Cutting Landon Collins.
Washington franchise tagged Brandon Scherff for the last two years. First chance he gets, he bolts for greener pastures: Jacksonville.
The DL in Washington gets weaker: Matt Ioannidis will be cut.
They're dumping Ereck Flowers as well. Addition by subtraction? He's a decent guard, terrible tackle.
I thought Ioannidis was a decent player. And Flowers at OG was decent too.
So they get a new QB who plays recklessly when pressured and....let Flowers and Scherff go.

I'll believe it when I see it. The owners might think Snyder's shtein ownership is costing them money, but they have to balance that against setting the dangerous (to them) precedent of one of their own getting merked.

He's good, but I don't think he's demonstrated yet that he's one of those top tier guys worthy of top dollar. Maybe he will get there, but not yet. Gets a lot of yards by being the only viable target on a bad offense. I don't think the other NFC East teams are circling the WAS games on their calendar because they need to prepare for Terry coming to town.
I love his game. I'm m sure the Eagles dbs respect him, if not fear or set the entire game plan against him.

QuoteWhile yesterday's offensive comments by a team coach is yet another reason not to spend public money on the team, the fact remains simple: football stadiums are a uniquely bad use of a tax dollars. We can learn from other cities:
Even Virginia has woken up. Because its just common sense. We can use the site to grow our city and build more housing, including affordable housing, add retail & new jobs, youth sports, and public access to the river — any number of things where our tax dollars go further.
Once we gain control of this beautiful riverfront site, our job is to ensure it's used to benefit District residents. Putting tax dollars toward the bottom line of a billionaire's team with an ugly history of racism and misogyny does not benefit District residents.

Snyder must really hate the Post

I'm really enjoying this daily cascade of bad news for Dan Snyder
https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/vivmeg/page_177_of_david_paukes_deposition_related_to/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Today:
Page 177 of David Pauke's deposition... related to pouring milk on the carpet under the seating in Mark Lerner's suite so the suite would smell like sour milk on game day. "I did it because Dan [Snyder] told me to do it."
Lol
What a petty piece of shtein.
It's all fun for schadenfreude until the investigations are over and he still owns the team, the team is still called the Commanders, the victims get no justice or satisfaction, and Maryland taxes go towards the new stadium.
Fine with this Eagles fan.
does it say in that link what he had/has against lerner? just rich guy jealousy?
lol what a little brat
He's about to get subpoenaed bc he missed the hearing today.

Meh...brutal only by comparison to the underhand wiffle ball pitches normally tossed his way. Fair questions, and put bluntly sure...but we're talking football in the NFL, not feelings in first grade.
chase young out for at least the first four games...which of course includes an eagle game
rookie RB Brian Robinson shot multiple time in carjacking
stable condition
Shades of Jerome McDougle's incident
Hope he's ok and recovers well
Pointing and laughing a lot lately
Monday morning coffee while perusing the Commies subreddit is my favorite morning coffee break.
they need to be a little better so they don't get one of the two QB's
They will be once they bench AO1.
I have a feeling that Howell or Heinicke is their QB after this weeks game against CHI.
That gives them a little bit of time before they play the Packers.
I'm pretty confident this team will fail regardless of the talent they add. It's a rotten scene; any success will occur in spite of the , not because of , etc.
No doubt.
But the removal of Wentz, with their weapons and a QB who can and will break contain, will make them juuuust good enough to put them out of the running for one of the top college guys.
Their schedule should prevent them from ending up at the top of the draft.

Snyder may in fact have enough dirt to hold the others at bay....
As a fan of football, that's atrocious, because his team is an embarrassment to the game.
As an Eagles fan, this is great news. I enjoy Washington failure so much more than NY or even Dallas failure.
In other news, now the problem with Wentz isn't throwing shoulder, but throwing bicep tendon. But he's gonna be a warrior and play tonight. Not liking this as a Terry McLaurin owner...but maybe they put Heineke in, who I have no doubt will look for Scary Terry more reliably than Wentz does.
Shame to hear that Danny killed himself with two bullets in the back of the head. He was so young.
An overachiever to the end.
Carson is gonna sink Riverboat Ron.
Maybe they won't bench him for one of the backups.
https://twitter.com/michelesteele/status/1580761847137193984 46&t=ybFD5-xEi6f152_cgKJphA
Rivera can walk right into any of the dozen or so HC openings that'll be available in the offseason, and I don't think he'll miss Washington at all when he leaves.
Carson has a broken ring finger on his throwing hand.
He can easily play through that without it affecting his passing.
Wentz broke his thumb and had surgery
Out 4-6 weeks
Probably misses the Eagles game
Probably never gets the starting job again, anywhere.
He'll be fine. Jesus only tests you with tribulations you're able to overcome.
I would've agreed with that before Rivera stood at the podium and professed his love for Carson.
https://twitter.com/nickijhabvala/status/1582470069384531970 46&t=a83_k71sMJqli6rCHqCtVg
It's on.
He also said he's not afraid of Danny Boy's private investigators, thinks there "potentially " will be enough votes to force him to sell.
Get your popcorn!
There's a bigger chance of Irsay getting canceled for saying R*dskins than Snyder being removed.
I don't think Irsay is speaking for himself alone and the fact he spoke like that at all is notable. None of this is good news for Danny Boy. He can certainly fight back and make life miserable for them but it's pretty clear he's toxic to the brand so it's really just a fight now or fight later thing. Might be time now.

I don't want to see Washington ever become a competent franchise, but I am curious to see which manchild billionaire overspends to buy the franchise.
Maybe that dope Elon can bid on them too
Musky and Bezos get into a bidding war just to watch as the team is sold to the Saudis.

the thing that was always going to get him was stealing money from other owners...theyll let anything go but that
the last owners meeting had to be the nail in the coffin for him. not sure what was said behind closed doors, something like either do it or well do you and it wont be pretty
QuoteOn the Commanders possible sale: My understanding is that number could reach $7B with a timeline of the March league meeting if all goes well.
I really wish Danny boy would keep the team but that number seems awfully high for a shtein team with a dump of a stadium. I think the broncos sold for $4 billion
you do realize what kind of power buying the football team in the capital of an authoritarian country can get you
The worth of the team is all about the market, not the current quality of the team. DC market is not only like twice the size of the Broncos one but is also the wealthiest in the country.
Is there a more sure bet than the NFL, at almost any price?
Not until there's no kids left to go into the pipeline, no. Even that's still eternally 30 years away.

sad day for 31 nfl teams...first round of bidding closes today for sale of wash...expected sale price 6-8 bil which seems a little low to me since the suns just went for over 4B
An NFL franchise you can use to specifically for lobbying? Ten billion should have been the minimum.
Maybe Musk will buy that too since he has a thing for overpriced garbage with vile racist history attached?
That would literally be the best outcome for anyone who isn't a fan of the team.

And now three

Snyder gets run out the league and crickets at :CF
On the one hand, good riddance. On the other...ruh-roh...now maybe the team will be competetive?
But Josh Harris bought it, so maybe not so much?
Snyder was fined $60M on his way out, with the league hoping that news of his departure will overshadow their atrocious complicity in this whole fiasco.
I'm rooting hard for Jon Gruden to burn the house down.
Yeah I hope Gruden gets his pound of flesh from the league. Expose it all.

Fabulous. Another name change. I always wonder how Art and The Dead Tree Crew have handled these challenging times.
Would be funny if they immediately squandered all the goodwill of not being Snyder by going back to taterskins.
if the way josh harris has run the sixers is any indication, theyre still going to an embarrassment but perhaps not as big of one
i never really thought danny would ever sell. i guess the fun had to end
Watching Harris have to read a statement that was nothing but fluff was painfully funny. Kept having to glance down and was monotone in basically saying "rah rah get back to being good for some great fans"
Zero passion
Commie fans are back baby!
They're all pumped up with hopium since Danny is out.
Sam Howell is being talked about like Danny Wuerffel and RGIII.
Where is Art?!

Whatever dirt Snyder had on the NFL and Goodell in particular must have been damning.
It takes balls to collude in such an open and absurdly obvious way, I'll give them that much.

With McDonald going to Seattle as their new HC, Washington is now the only team still looking for a head coach.
I hope they get stuck with Quinn
At this point there's no way to claim they didn't get stuck with whoever it is they eventually do hire.
After a long, thorough search, they've gone with Dan Quinn.

FedEx bailed on the stadium naming deal. The ownership change allowed them to get out of it early.
Presumably Harris knew this was going to happen when he bought the team.

Just traded Howell to the Seahawks.
They are a joke franchise but they can't possibly be starting Mariota. This feels like they're probably gonna get Justin Fields.
Prob gonna draft Daniels
definitely drafting a qb...might even trade up for caleb...they are loaded with picks
I literally forgot the draft hasn't happened yet
I get a tanking vibe from their offseason moves so far. Short term deals, nothing splashy, stacking picks. Draft some kid and have him play on training wheels for a year, then work on showing big improvements for Peters and Quinn in Year 2.
six picks in the top 100 one of them caleb or j dawg
dey comin
you won't have any skin left on your bird if they're good this season
they have no chance at caleb...if the bears pass then what does that say. daniels might or might not be good i havent a clue.
im sure all of their other picks will be awesome! with such a brilliant brain trust what could possibly go wrong
i think you missed the episode where the team got sold
and they have mad ammo to go up and get DC caleb
This would be farging hilarious
QuoteExecutives around NFL reportedly think Commanders will draft QB J.J. McCarthy at No. 2
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported on Monday that executives from other teams believe the Washington Commanders could be eyeing a quarterback projected to be further down the draft board with the No. 2 overall pick.
"When I've had conversations [at the NFL annual meeting] with executives from other teams, who know [Commanders general manager] Adam Peters well, know the situation well, the most popular answer for what they do at No. 2 is J.J. McCarthy," said Pelissero.
