Strung Out
...this may comes as a sarcastic 'no sh#t' to you non beleivers out there but I think the Redskins biggest stumbing block to consistently being a good team is...
...Dan Snyder.
I'll wait why you catch your breathe.
I was listening to the John Thompson radio show and Doc Walker said "Hey, they offer Smoot $10 mil to stay and then turn around and offer Somari Rolle, a guy with no job by the way, $15 mil. Everyone knows that they don't take care of their own but they roll out the red carpet for strangers."
And there it is.
Dion Sanders.
Bruce Smith.
Jeff Goerge.
Coles.
1/2 the O line
All of the D line.
Trotter.
Barrow.
Coachs GALORE.
On
and
on
and
on.
Everyone comes here to get paid.
Now, this is something anyone who's worked more than a few places can relate to. A boss who gets all excited about the new guy or gal and doesn't have the time of day for the old guy or gal once the brand new luster has worn some.
Quick fixes. Million dollar solutions to thousand dollar problems.
It was said that this is how Snyder ran his business before. It was all about the appearance, the show, and that is the Skins every Spring; exciting new hires. New man with the plan.
So, there, the denial is over. The Redskins have no future other than the next shiny new bauble until Dan completely changes how he does business (and we've all seen bosses turn over a new leaf how often?) or he sells the team.
Gibbs, the legend, is an old man. He can't keep up with the grind. But he did sell Danny some seats and get his name in the papers.
I guess it's time to start celebrating the simple things, like kick offs that don't go out of bounds and just enjoy anything good after that as a miracle.
Cripes.
