Rivera must be hating all of this. They brought him in to clean up their image but he can't do that with all this other poo happening all the time.

When is the NFL going to take that team away from that idiot?

Rivera is stuck between a rock and a hard place.  He can't do anything about the owner level infractions.  I just hope it doesn't make it's way down to him.

There isn't much chance of that happening. I don't feel particularly bad for Ron because it isn't like Snyder wasn't a known scumbag before he took that position.

Lop his head OFF!!

Is the "information" received by Congress good info?  Possibly...

Or might it be bad info?  Certainly possible as well...

I'll be surprised if this story has legs for multiple reasons:

(a)  The dollars involved are relatively small and shaving in this area would have zero impact on overall operation (~$400M total rev's).

(b)  This is an area the League Office can easily monitor on a consistent basis -- ticket sales are known.

(c)  Every year the Redskins are a net-gainer from the  shared "net-ticket-revenue" pool vs. what they put in ('Skins rank #31-of-32 in NFL home-attendance).

If this info proves to be accurate seems like the pilfering would be a result an embezzlement scheme by some ticket office or accounting employee vs. a starts-at-the-top w/ D. Snyder scheme to save $2 or $3 million. 

Dan's a doosh but this sort of low-level petty theft would be a waste of time for a man of his means...

JR looks like a choir boy in comparison to Snyder. 

No way should Daniel Snyder remain an NFL owner.

I'd replace him simply for selecting Commanders as the team's new name. 

JR had his faults, but I still believe that Richardson was forced out more so than he bowed out completely of his own willingness.  I was nearly certain other NFL owners had some dirt on them too (boy, do they EVER) but the moral outrage over the--while wrong-- minor transgressions seemed too much like a witch hunt to me.  While I agree it was about time to Jerry to turn over the keys to someone else, the way it went down was dubious at best.  Where would we be today if Jerry wasn't nudged out the door?  Who knows, but honestly could it be much worse?  Jerry's true handpicked choice in successor couldn't have been much worse than David Tepper.  Tepper has been an absolute disaster since the NFL chose him...ooops um, since he had the winning bid to buy the Panthers.

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      By rayzor · Posted

      agreed. reich and fox were kind of similar in that i think their comfort zone with QBs were established vets.  any rookie QB would have been outside that. i do think that he might have been more comfortable with stroud than young, but i also still think that we would have been stuck in a bad place. there was more than went wrong than with the QB. nothing worked and QB issues were one of many symptoms of the problem that we found ourselves in with reich. the whole thing was too much for him. not only did he get a QB outside of his comfort zone, he got unfamiliar assistants that came from unfamiliar schemes. he had no prior relationship with most coaches he had added to his staff.  again, that staff was tepper's idea...get the dream staff with a billion years of experience and those who don't have a poo ton of experience were coaches that were considered up and comers for HC jobs.  reich is a mild-mannered passive likeable kind of guy. he wasn't the big dominant personality that would be needed to handle that staff.

      Panthers ranked as NFL's 2nd-worst roster

      By frankw · Posted

      I can't blame anyone in sports media for not believing we've made a big enough jump talent wise to compete. I mean let's be realistic. In the eyes of many of us here we were improved on paper under Scott Fitterer each offseason the last few years. Just because we're once again buying in doesn't mean the rest of the sports world will also. Then you go back to preseason last year and the downplaying of how horrific we looked not just offensively but as a whole. If we look competent in preseason  I will begin to feel some level of confidence about the direction of the team and so will those in the sports world. Until then nothing we've done matters.

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Yeah we don't have a beast mode, and Bryce doesn't threaten with the play action/scramble deep shots. That's the majority of the reason that formula worked in Seattle during that stretch. I hope Brooks is a good back, but he's definitely not a beast mode type.
