Those Darned Redskins, Pt. Deux
Sincerely thought he would get the rest of the year and if not at least a shot in this game before being benched. Dang. I guess that's it for old Bobby Griff. Poor millionaire.
Who in the hell started this thread? How can there be a blank space where the name should be. Why am I this upset about that?

Well, since he bought the Wizards they have drafted pretty well and gone to the playoffs and are now one of the top teams in their conference. And the Caps have won, what, 6 or 7 division titles in the past 8 years or so? Granted, it's not all on Leonsis. But there isn't much beyond his teams not being able to get over the playoff hump to tarnish him…. At the end of the day, isn't it about winning? His teams seem to do that a lot. Until last year with the Caps…
Anything good that's happened for the Caps was the result of being terrible and getting a lucky pingpong ball. His rep, pre-Ovechkin, was that he was a terrible spendthrift who thought one big name player and 21 AHL guys was a strategy. He also hit a fan and got suspended for it, iirc.
I also don't exactly think the Wizards have been a bastion of greatness either.

The Wizards haven't, but they have turned around since he bought the team. Jury is still out.
The Caps have a solid team. They have at least 3 dudes any team would trade for immediately. Same goes for the Wizards. I just think Caps is more about coaching than anything else. I like the young guys they're putting out on the ice.

Through three preseason games and five starts in the regular season, Gruden has seen enough to realize that Griffin is at best a long-term project as a pocket passer. Griffin was too deliberate reading defenses, displayed poor footwork and an alarming lack of pocket presence for a signal-caller in his third NFL season.
Also, Gruden?s assessment goes deeper than Griffin?s play. He has major concerns about Griffin?s decision making off the field, which has come to light through conversations with team officials at Redskins Park.
…
Considering Gruden?s firm stance, though, trading Griffin is the logical option. And if Snyder and Allen drag their feet or tell Gruden he must give Griffin one more chance, then Gruden may have to come up with an exit strategy even faster than Mike Shanahan did.
Realizing he faces a formidable challenge, Gruden is eager to roll up his sleeves. To help Gruden get the job done, Snyder and Allen should remove the albatross around his neck.

Isn't that how a lot of NBA teams became great? Like the Spurs for instance?

This and Gregg Williams blitzing while being up 24, on a Redskins 3rd and 20 I believe. Pretty much yesterday was a big fat middle finger to the entire organization.
Then London Fletcher calls out Jim Haslett at being a shitty human being overall.
This team will just not go away.
