Great article about Dan Snyder

[mustangj17]

This is great. Plenty of funny Dan Snyder gaffes listed and explained. I sort of feel bad for Redskin fans.

This is freakin' fantastic. The year-old moldy peanuts were my favorite part.

The video on the abandoned Six Flags in New Orleans is stunning.

I don't remember an "Andyman" on here.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

I looked him up. All the posts were nuked.

Yeah, how did we miss that?
Andyman: Fake name widely believed to be used by top Redskins officials to post anti-media rants on fan message boards. In 2005, Washington City Paper reported that Karl Swanson, Snyder’s longtime PR chief, had registered on sportsjournalists.com, a website where Andyman often sniped at The Washington Post. Andyman, which could be Pig Latin for Danny M (Snyder’s first name, middle initial) all but disappeared after the report.

GREAT article. Fantastic. This should be a reference to everyone who wonders why Snyder gets such scorn.

Best thing I've read all year. Hope the midget blows a gasket when he hears of it. Born a Redskins fan and not sure I'll die one, unless that little shrew falls into a black hole.

He won't give a ****. The man's heart is dark. Rack Riggo.

I remember when extremeskins people were on here. What a bunch of weirdos.

You know this is only a great article because it's all true...

This is freakin' fantastic. The year-old moldy peanuts were my favorite part.

My favorite part was about how Gene Upshaw found out about illegal contact in voluntary workouts via the team Web site. That line read so well. Just a nice piece of tick-tock humor.

Serious question here: Is Dan Snyder a Scientologist? The Tom Cruise friendship and especially his peculiar, paranoid media-relations actions certainly raise suspicion. And if so, would that be worth coverage? I know it's a thin line to walk there, but I have to believe the ticket-buying public would be interested in knowing if that's where the money was going.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

No, Snyder is not a scientologist. He's just a piece of **** human being.

 

[Bubbler]

I remember the extremeskins invasion too. It was hilarious.

Haven't had an invasion here in a while. They're always a bit of fun ... for everyone but the mods that is.

I don’t think this has been posted elsewhere on SJ, but... some interesting references in here:

The fish rots from the head down.

This is provably, demonstrably true.

I love how Meghan McCain's husband gets pulled into it.

Also this might be a record for reviving a long-dead thread.
