Dan Snyder is a Douchebag...

Geez. Mr. Sense of Humor himself, Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder apparently doesn't like it when people have a little fun with his lack of successful sports ownership skills.

In fact, he apparently has such a small...no non-existent sense of humor, that a somewhat facetious story in the Washington City Paper got him so riled up that he is threatening to sue the paper unless they fire the reporter that wrote it.

Note to little Dan...you don't own the paper...or the reporter who wrote it. Read the offending story, written by Dave McKenna which is really, pretty creative...and funny RIGHT HERE. There is also a response to Snyder by the publisher at the top of the story. Oh wait...we forgot. You tried to keep people from booing you or putting negative signs about you at your stadium. Sorry, we had to be reminded of that.

More from the Washington Post RIGHT HERE

Snyder's lawyers are claiming he's been defamed, though we are pretty sure that most Redskins fans could make the same claim against Snyder.

McKenna obviously did some research for the story, it makes references to quite a few things in Snyder's somewhat curious business past. Along with references a rather lengthy list of PR and greed missteps over the course of Snyder's ownership tenure.

Though we are far from lawyers, we are in the media and we are pretty sure that this is just a really lame-ass attempt at a publicity stunt from Snyder. Like it or not he's a public figure and as such it makes him open to satire (if he understands the term). Never mind the fact that the multitude of stupid moves both with the team and in the public gives pretty much any creative writer all the ammunition that they need to do the exact, well written and entertaining story that Mr. McKenna did.

We might recommend the comedian who did this skit on YouTube check his mailbox, there may be a lawsuit sitting in it from the target of his video.



I guess we better check ours now too.....

BREAKING: Donovan McNabb gets a 5-year, $78 million extension? Huh?

This doesn't make a bit of sense. Last week, the guy was according to his own coach "Out of condition" to lead the two-minute offense at the end of a game. This week, he signs a mega-contract, $40 million of which is guaranteed? To steal and old quote: "What's up wit dat?"

McNabb, who is in his first year with the Redskins hasn't exactly lit things up since moving down I-95. He hasn't been horrible, but has been somewhat less than impressive for the 4-4 'Skins. But hey, maybe they know something we don't.

We guess that Shaun Hill, Jon Kitna and Jason Campbell must be in for some big pay raises too. All of them have a...much higher QB rating than McNabb.

Read the original story from the 4-Letter (ESPN)'s Michael Smith RIGHT HERE

We do realize that this is Little Napolean Dan Snyder that we are talking about here and that Snyder is notorious for handing out bizarre contracts to guys a few years past their prime. While we like McNabb and thought he was absolutely fantastic when in Philly, he's done nothing in Washington. In Philly, he carried that team for years when the receiving corp consisted of guys like Freddy Mitchell. Really, he doesn't have much to work with in Washington either.

The big difference, Philadelphia had some really good QB's ready to replace McNabb, Washington....not so much.

Hey, we could be wrong about this and he could lead the Redskins to Super Bowl glory and all that. But we don't see it.

Check out this story from earlier this week talking about McNabb's benching in Detroit 2-weeks ago. Thanks to CSNWashington.com for this:

Jim Zorn, You're Fired

****BREAKING NEWS****

In what was a surprise to pretty much nobody who follows NFL Football, the Washington Redskins made it official this morning and fired Head Coach Jim Zorn. Zorn, who finished his time in Washington with a 12-20 record, including a 4 win season this year, seemed to be doomed from his start with owner Dan Snyder.

The story from the Washington Post RIGHT

HERE

There will be an "Official Press Conference" with new General Manager Bruce Allen at 12:30 to make the announcement. Most within football expect the list of potential replacements to start...and probably finish with former Denver Broncos Head Coach Mike Shanahan who would be the 7th Head Coach for the Deadskins since Dan Snyder bought the team in 1999.

Chick Hernandez of CSNWashington caught up Redskins offensive coordinator Sherman Smith Monday morning for his reaction. (Thanks CSNWashington)

Here's a look back at the bizarre Jim Zorn era in D.C. from CSNWashington.

Cerrato Out At Redskins Park... Brother J-Dub Ecstatic...

As well he should be...

It has long been thought that the Executive VP of Football Operations Vinny Cerrato should have been long for Redskins Park... well, a long time ago...

Bad signings, bad draft picks, bad players, and just bad football led to it...
Finally...

But Dan Snyder's bestest buddy seemed to have nine lives and the team was working better on the field with Jason Campbell actually finding receivers who were dressed in the same colored uniform in recent weeks...

Bruce Allen, son of legendary former Skins coach George Allen, is being named Cerrato's replacement Thursday afternoon...

Those of us at the HQ think it's about f'n time...
Here's how the coverage broke this morning...
((HT: MyFoxDC/Fox 5))


Brother J-Dub is the stereotypic example of how the fan base had become in recent years... angry bordering on apathetic. And that's the last thing Snyder needs...
