Why do you need to announce your gifts to Native American groups. Just give them money if you actually want to help. Peter Angelos doesn't advertise the gifts the Orioles and he gives to charities.

It's so transparent…if not for the bad press over the name he'd never be giving these groups his money.

Arizona State called and they'd like their UNIFORMZ back.

Those are piss ugly. Where did you find this? I haven't been able to pull anything up. Every year there are rumors of new uniforms.

I've said it before and I will say it again.  This team will never be a consistent contender while Snyder is at the top.  Sure they may have the occasional winning record.  But they will never be a serious threat to do anything in the NFL.

Cursed.  Yes, they are cursed.

It's like that house in Poltergeist that was built on the Native American burial ground! I wonder what Snyder could do to reverse the mojo?

Yes something like that!  Team will be clean when he sells it!

i wonder how much he could get for selling the franchise now…its a bit diminished ..so the strange thing is his incentive to sell will be higher when they win….cause he can then get a higher price..but if he wins he will not want to sell..

i think snyder will own the team for the rest of our lives… at least another 30-40 years

i think you're right, unfortunately. my impression is that he's the "ultimate" fan, and that ego would never allow him to relinquish his control or concede on any point (e.g. the name).

He will never sell this team.  He will die and all his kids and wives will fight over the scraps.

There are few things in this world I have a fatalistic view of….this team is one of them.

?The Washington Redskins announced today the 10 members of the organization selected to join the 70 Greatest Redskins named in 2002 and complete the 80 Greatest Redskins of All-Time,? the team?s Web site announced in the summer of 2012. That?s a bunch of greatness in one sentence. Former linebacker LaVar Arrington was among the 10 men ?selected by fans and a blue ribbon panel? to join that list of great Redskins.

But being named a Redskins great is different than marketing yourself as a Redskins great, and so Dan Snyder recently sent Arrington a cease-and-desist letter about a flier for his football tackling camps that refers to him as a ?Redskins great? and includes a photo of him in a Redskins uniform.

This made me laugh. I loved Arrington on the field, as I've listened to his radio show, I've come to like him a lot less. He seems nice enough. Just something about him.

I don't think the team is cursed. If Bobby Griff is healthy, they're a contender. Maybe not a top seed, but wild card, why not? DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon? That's insane! Plus Jordan Reed. Offense should be more fun to watch this year. Alf as the battering ram in the run game. Our offense looks exhausting. But, we are off season champions, so I'll wait and see.
