naptownskinsfan Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 It will be interesting to see how the Richmond situation plays out, because that is going to directly relate to the stadium deal. Personally, I do not see the DC plan as something anyone but Snyder is interested in. His second choice is likely VA, but after what happened to Richmond, I can't see anyone being interested. Larry Hogan is being aggressive with plans for two plots of land in Maryland, as they want to keep the Redskins there, which I don't think he wants to do at all. Sadly, if this club was a consistent winner and didn't operate the way it does, the DC and VA governments would be bending over backwards for a new stadium and Snyder would have no shortage of proposals. It will also be interesting to see what the league can do. They have a rare history of stepping in on owners, but if any time is the time, it's right now.

ARTMONK HOF Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 It would be great if owners got together and forced Snyder’s hand to try to save this organization from further destruction. We all want this team to succeed and bring it back to its glory days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostnote Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 It would be great if the team was operated like Green Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, that kind of scenario can never happen again, the NFL and the other owners have made sure of it. I do have a nice stock certificate for the Packers though.

bigdog44 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 The only situation I can think of where the league stepped in (for football reasons) is the Giants in the late 70’s. Wellington Mara and Steve Tisch couldn’t agree on a damn thing and the league basically forced George Young on them as a GM/President. Mara was left in charge of the football side, Tisch with the business. They run on this model to this day. 4 championships later..... That was a 50/50 partnership though and all parties in the end wanted the same thing. I don’t see the league at the point where they would act and I sure don’t see Snyder accepting it.

Doc Draper Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 This is such a great thread starting with the "a league executive told Sally Jenkins, and they regard Bruce Allen as "literally, a joke." Wow, everyone outside of Dc seems to get it and many many more inside are opening their eyes. From what I read Danny got booed mercilessly as he was walking out onto his own field by the fans. Yeah, 85% f the fans were Eagles fans, but still that is important. He operates like he is Chairman Kim- delusional and only believes the info he gets from Allen and that PR loser Wylie who blow smoke up his arse continually about how great he is. See before the fans booed and after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barstool Sports even has #FireBruceAllen t-shirts, though they are channeling their inner Jim Zorn and calling the color maroon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
