1. GRRRRRRRRRRR........
Let me be the first to say it.Snyder....He's the dumbest fuck in the NFL. Hands down. Apparantly "stability" to him means the front office.
Him and Vinny Cerrato (who is Matt Millen of Washington IMHO) can both go to hell...5-11 next year...IF they are lucky:mad: :grr: :grr: :argh:

2. Snyder = Jim Dolan (NY Knicks and NY Rangers)
One sportswriter who remains nameless referred to Dolan as having "the intelligence of a manhole cover"

I've seen pictures of signs near Madison Square Garden saying "Duck Folan"

Seems like this guy Snyder is cut from the same mold.

:evilfrown:

4. Watching ESPN News now
According to Len Pasquarelli's on-air report, Snyder hasn't made a decision yet.

7. Now I hear that they are interviewing offensive coordinators...
Without having a head coach in place. Danny Boy is turning his franchise into a JOKE.:grr:

8. He's running it like a fan.
A fan who doesn't know how football really works behind the scenes.

I do not doubt that Little Danny loves his team, but he is a petulant little asshole who THINKS he knows a hell of a lot more than he does when it comes to football.

Thankfully for me though, I like it that way, since I hate the Foreskins. :evilgrin:

10. The problem is that Snyder is getting his advice from Tom Cruise.

12. a lot of people are saying this
but as long as he knows he will sell out every game and can force people to buy preseason tickets and parking passes, who really cares? He's turned a mediocre team into the most profitable franchise in US sports. He's printing money out of the wallets of skins fans. Because of that waiting list, however real it is, he doesn't need to worry. He's guaranteed ten sellouts a year, that's what, 900,000 people, roughly? Average person spends a total of say, $125 on ticket, beer, food, parking, etc. I think that's low. But we'll take it and say that gives him a guaranteed revenue stream of $112million, before he sells a single jersey. I think the game day number is probably closer to $150, so that's $135million basically guaranteed. And that's before the $50 million from tv, the five from fedex, probably fifteen from skyboxes and other sponsorships. Basically, because of percieved demand, he's looking at $200 million in revenue as a baseline, no matter what the team does. As long as that waitlist continues there is no real correction from the market. If you are a ticket holder, you won't give them up, because you think you will never get them back, you have no effective method of protest, once you quit, there is no going back. Unless, of course, the waitlist is a paper tiger.
