Yesterday, to fill time while we were waiting for the Redskins to sign Julius Peppers, John Keim posted this article about Emmitt Smith getting great pleasure out of beating the Redskins because he didn’t like Dan Snyder. Here’s the money quote:
“I loved defeating the Redskins. I loved it, I loved it, I loved it with [...]

Snyder hits back at Emmitt
Gibbs, Snyder, Hogs speak about Grimm
Daniel M. Snyder
“Our Redskins fans have always appreciated the Hogs. This is a long deserved honor and we are proud to have Russ as a member of the Hall of Fame. Hopefully Russ is the first of the Hogs to be inducted in Canton representing one of the greatest offensive lines in NFL history.”

Redskins 01.26.08—Williams, Saunders fired
It was widely thought that Gregg Williams would be Joe Gibbs successor as head coach of the Washington Redskins but, after multiple, lengthy interviews with Dan Snyder it was not to be.
Here is the account from the pages of The Redskins Chronicle.
Jan 26—Gregg Williams and Al Saunders, two of the most respected and highest-paid assistant [...]
Change you can believe in at Redskins Park?
On the surface, things sure look different at Redskins Park.
Bruce Allen holds the title General Manager, a title that hasn’t been doled out in the organization since Charley Casserly was fired soon after Dan Snyder bought the team in 1999. No matter what the title, he is an upgrade over Vinny Cerrato. Mike Shanahan is [...]
Shanahan and Allen titles significant
As you well know, the press conference to introduce Mike Shanahan as Executive Vice President/Head Coach of the Washington Redskins starts at 2:00. I’ll be there reporting for CSNwashington.com. I’ll be sure to put a link of to my story, and I’ll comment further over the next few days.
A few quick things for now:
The title [...]
Blache speaks up about Snyder
Here is what Greg Blache had to say about John Riggins’ comments about Dan Snyder via both video from CSN Washington and the transcript from Redskins PR.
I gave my thoughts on this matter this morning, so I’ll pass it along without comment.
“This morning when I came in, I turned my computer on and I was [...]
Riggins has jumped the shark
Among the lines on John Riggins’ resume are First-round Draft Pick, Super Bowl MVP and member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He can now add a new line—Attention Whore.
I don’t have a problem with his series of videos lambasting the Redskins in general and Dan Snyder in particular. I have to say that I [...]
DCPSR: Snyder doesn’t get “it”
I was going to sit down and write a nice, long rant about Dan Snyder’s “apology” this afternoon. But then I read this article in the DC Pro Sports Report I decided that it wasn’t necessary. They nail it and I see no need to try to improve in perfection.
Snyder’s main problem is he just [...]
Snyder “apologetic” for record
During a charity event in Maryland today, Dan Snyder admits that his Washington Redskins have “let everyone down”.
Snyder talked to reporters at the event, a rarity for him.
“We’ve let everyone down, including ourselves,” he said, “and we know that and we’re just apologetic.”
Being apologetic is a start but the statement is unlikely to do much [...]
Not illegal, just stupid
There are many people who want to make some sort of a First Amendment case over the Washington Redskins’ new (or, to listen to some, always-present) policies to ban signs or to ban TV interviews in the parking lot.
It’s a waste of time.
I’m no constitutional lawyer but I do know that the owners of private [...]
