Warning. Locker-room language
For all of you who thought that I was just a limp-wristed soccer fan, think again. This football post is about pigskin. Sure, I have my problems with American Football (a.k.a. rugby for pussies). The games are way to freakin’ long for one thing. I don’t have 3.5 hours to sit around. But, I’ve been a fan all my life. I grew up in Northern Virginia and at my father’s knee became a Redskins fan. Kilmer, Hamburger, Theisman, Riggo, Monk, Williams. The great Miami Super Bowl and the monumental ass-kicking of Denver. Great times.
And don’t even get me started on Hawkeye football in the 80′s. 1985 #1 Iowa vs. #2 Michigan? I was there.
But since the death of Jack Kent Cooke (praise be upon him) and the acquisition by Daniel Snyder things have just gotten seedy, desperate and mediocre. And now this:
The Washington Post has an excellent (but long!) feature today about how, when season ticket holders with multi-year contracts default on their payments — which happens quite often now due to the recent evaporation of all global wealth — the Redskins lawyers immediately SUE THEIR KNICKERS OFF and always win and demand full repayment of the total cost of the contract (+ interest!) which forces all of these people into deep bankruptcies that fucking fuck them for the rest of their lives. And then they resell the season tickets, and the cycle starts anew! The point is: fuck this stupid team and their farty owner Dan Snyder, who is mean.
For Redskins Fans, Hard Luck Runs Into Team’s Hard Line (Washington Post, natch.)
How are the Bears shaping up this year?
A Snyder hater and a Hawkeye lover…you are a class act my friend. I can think of no two things I am more passionate about than loving the Hawks and hating Dan Snyder.
The point being: Snyder’s meanness obviously has been absorbed by the players, who really don’t want to put out for such an owner. I mean, who would? Consciously or subconsciously, why beat your brains out for a guy who doesn’t give a shit about the fans? In other words, the owner’s arrogance, and lunacy, translates directly to on-the-field performance. And hence losses. What goes around….

I am saddened by the loss of Abe Polin, and praying that Daniel Snyder will not try to purchase the Wizards !
Hey I just wanted to let you know, I really like the piece of writing on your web site. But I am utilising Chromium on a machine running version 9.04 of Ubuntu and the UI aren’t quite satisfying. Not a important deal, I can still essentially read the articles and research for info, but just wanted to inform you about that. The navigation bar is kind of difficult to apply with the config I’m running. Keep up the great work!
When the team … even the offence, was calling for Greg Williams to be coach, … The 1st thing Dan did was let him go. What a power-hungry dumba**
