2011 Point & Laugh at the skins thread

[shorebird]

I agree, McNabb was a bust. But I don't think Grossman will fair much better. I'd be willing to bet McNabb has a better year out in Minny then Grossman will have in D.C.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Vegas O/U on skins wins is 6, with the over paying +160.

taterskins have a good chance of winning eight....and theres zero chance they lose less than five....bedwetter was worse last year than any qb on their roster right now...dont underestimate the importance of not having him on the team anymore

Does the federal government drug test you? If not, they should.

Grossman is the starter.

I hopped on ES for a bit to see their reaction and that place hasn't lost their homerisms at all. One guy was blasting the NFL network because they showed a clip of Grossman getting sacked and throwing pick; he said they should be neutral and not show negative plays. Seriously?

taterskins owner Dan Snyder drops lawsuit against City Paper
By Mike Jones

The Washington taterskins announced Saturday evening that owner Daniel M. Snyder has dropped his lawsuit against the Washington City Paper.

Snyder in April filed a lawsuit against the City Paper and reporter Dave McKenna on the grounds that an article that ran in November 2010 defamed the owner's character.

Snyder said that he did so upon the urging of senior vice president Tony Wyllie. This week Snyder in an interview with the New York Times Magazine said that he actually never read the article.

The team released the following statement:

"The lawsuit was pursued as a means to correct the public record following several critical factual misstatements in the Washington City Paper article," Wyllie said. "In the course of the defendants' recently filed pleadings and statements in this matter, the Washington City Paper and its writer have admitted that certain assertions contained in the article that are the subject of the lawsuit were, in fact, unintended by the defendants to be read literally as true. Therefore, we see nothing further to be gained at this time through continuing the lawsuit. We prefer to focus on the coming football season and the business at hand. We remain committed to assisting with responsible reportage of the Team and the many people involved in our organization, including Dan Snyder, and the principle that the truth and the facts matter in responsible journalism has been vindicated."

The taterskins sent out the release at 8:20 p.m. Saturday, roughly 20 hours before the team kicks off the 2011 season at home against the New York Giants.

colossal douchebag doesn't even begin to describe how awful this guy is

please please CityPaper, update the piece and make it a semi-regular feature

[PhillyPhreak54]

Unless someone else can dig it up, I will post it when I'm on the laptop later...but I read a behind the scenes article of how Snyer courted Shanahan by Mike Wise in the Washington Post. Fascinating read as it only ratches up Snyder's douch factor even more.

1 down 5 to go

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I have some coin on the skins a o6.5 this year. Looks like they have a good chance to get there - playing a last place schedule and with Giants and Cowboys clearly nothing special - although I think the Cowboys match up really well with the skins and could sweep.
