I don’t want to see Danny boy brought out for interviews. Everytime I watch the Cowboys I want to vomit! How many times do they interview Jerry Jones? and then how many times do they show him in the box? I do not want to hear from any owners on a regular basis. No other owners get interviewed before, after, and during every game.

After I saw him pick his nose and eat it I was about to lose it. Maybe he just couldn’t afford one of his $75 pizzas b/c he spent/wasted so much money on the Boss Hog Dome.

How cool would it be to have a public forum with Danny boy?

If he has presser its just going to be set up with people that are going to only ask stuff that he will like or they will never set foot in Redskin Park again.

I’d rather see Vinny have more interviews/pressers (Not on Redskins Nation) and be asked some legit questions.

“Like hey dumbass, why didn’t you draft any offensive linemen?”

“Hey dumbass, my 4 year old cousin can run a franchise better than you on Madden”

“Hey Vin, remember when Marty fired you?”

I don’t think we should fire Vinny, just hire a GM and make Vin the head of accounting b/c he is good at one thing… crunching salary cap numbers…

1. Yes. No. I waited too long to get them and remain optimistic that at some point before my death we will return to glory.
2. Absolutely not.
3. I won’t boo the team or wear a bag on my head, but I’m all about signing petitions and participating in organized rallies to send a message to ownership.
4. I probably won’t make it back to Landover any more this season, but I did buy a new hat this past weekend.

Anyone answering Yes to #2 should just leave now. Ba-bye.

I don’t remember the questions but I know my answers Im still a fan, still going to the games stil. I think the term fair weathered should come into play anytime anyone is willing to give up. there are still teams that have yet to win a game or only have one win. In there defense thes skins have pretty much been in every game they have played with a chance to win each one. It should be obvious that the Redskins are a team in transition. The only thing I am on board with is that Zorn must go, then I realize that no one wanted the job other than Gary Williams in the first place so you have to go with some unproven guy that want the job (Rus Grimm). With no big name coach there is no pressure for him to win right away

when it comes to Snyder. The real question appears to be not with his ownership but with his managing style. That style and refusal to stop messin with the product has led to the fanbase disgust. That most of the reasons for the demise of the franchise are tied to his decisions in the eyes of the fans. The perception is that our erstwhile GM is nothing more than a personal secretary to “the man” and the guy in charge of the team is way too much of a novice or a nice guy to get the job done while looking over his shoulder about his job security.

A better question appears to be, has your Redskins fan status become dependant on if Dan sells the team or if he hires a real GM and gets out of the way? Choice two is based on the concept, if the guy finally sees the light and gets out of his own way. Choice one, is an indication that he has so ruined your experience that you can no longer separate the team from the insult to your fandom.

The team is just not that good. Every year we(I) look at the roster and see things that are just not there. Portis is still a good RB, but the line has been on the decline for the last 4-5 yrs. Key position get ignored year after year because we dodn’t have a GM, an owner that is more focused on winning on paper during the off season, than durring the regular season. I will not pay for tickects to the game or buy anymore gear. Now, that being said, I would be happy so recieve free tickets and a parking pass, that would bring me into that horrible experience they call Fed-Ex Field. I rather, no, I am buying a new LCD for the MAN CAVE, and will enjoy all of the NFL teams on Sunday, when JC can’t hit that complicated slant pattern!

1) I have season tickets and will continue to have them
2) I would never change teams. It just wouldn’t ever happen
3) I would assist sending a message but I would only do in the classiest way. i wouldn’t be disrespectful and I would make sure that it had a clear message. If these things aren’t followed than its just immature bs.
4) It doesn’t stop me, but I do think twice. I don’t go out of my way, but I still do things like buy Breakfast Blitz cereal and send it to my cowboy fan friend in Afghanistan and witha message that says “You can eat this or starve”

1. Had season tickets in 2008. Were too expensive, and this franchise too bad, to keep them. Bought single-game tickets for ‘09, but unless we get a GM with a purpose, I don’t think I’ll be going to any games in 2010.

2. Not possible to change loyalty. What’s more likely to happen is that I follow the team from a distance, and don’t devote so much energy to them, especially every Sunday from Sept-Jan.

3. I will definitely participate in any potential fan uprisings/messages.

4. I’m definitely going to avoid FedEx, and avoid new Skins gear at all costs. If anything, I’ll buy resold stuff on Ebay so Snyder doesn’t get the money.

For the first 3, I am a big no (though I don’t get to go to every game, of course). For the fourth, I will be thirsty at times during the game, so I have no problem still purchasing stuff, either. No need for a hunger strike. I’m on board forever, really — this is like a marriage for me. For better or for worse, through hard times and good, etc. Can’t change… Can’t do it.

I will still complain periodically, but I remain on board as a true homer. Might as well admit the truth!

im wondering if conversations like this are going on in Buffalo,Cleveland,Kansas City Etc. They love there owners even though they dont spend any money on there teams to get the best available players etc. They havent won a game but im sure none of them are giving up football as a whole. It seems to me most of you guys can only say that your a fan of the Redskins only when they are winning.

1) “Co-own” ticks with friends; never give them up
2) Never change; no way, never…Bet some of you are surprised?
3) Something else; why deprive some fair lass a good look at my mug??
4) I did need a new hat and felt bad about it. Trying not to spend a dime inside the stadium.

1.) I do not own season tickets and at this point, I would not consider buying them. This decision has as much to do with the gameday experience at the current location as it does with the state of the team’s play.

2.) No. I’ve also been an Orioles fan all my life.

3.) No.

4.) Not going out of my way. Although I usually go to at least one game each season, I have already passed on several offers to attend games this season. It’s unlikely that I’ll attend one.

1.) I have season tickets. In section 406. I may be handing them in after this season. Or selling them next year. It’s very expensive. Robert Henson knows.. my job at McDonalds isn’t too great of pay.

2.) I won’t change teams. But I like watching the Jets. My lady is from New Jersey and she forces me into watching them when she can. I think Sanchez is going to be a talented qb. Always been a Leon Washington fan. (Leon can’t do everythang) But he plays hard.. every week.

3.) Quite pessimistic here, I know.. but I really don’t think anything I personally do is going to change what management does to keep the ’skins horrible year after year.

4.) I quit spending money at the stadium 3 years ago. 8 dollar beers? Kiss my @ss Dan.

1)Never owned season tickets but would snatch them up in a heartbeat if I was ever forced to move back from SF.

2)Never in a million years would I stop rooting for the Skins.

3)Never wear a paper bag or besmirch the skins but I have some thoughts on how to hurt Snyder I will fan post.

4) I have never spent money on concessions or gear. I always just get tanked beore the game and bring in a flask. Everyone should be buying their skins gear off Ebay and Thrift Stores anyways as the older stuff is way cooler and who would ever pay for that overpriced junk even if we were win Super Bowls every year.

I got to the bottom and forgot the questions, so I’ll improvise.

I’ll start with this – I am, have been, and always will be a fan of the Redskins. If you don’t feel the same way, then you should not be on here, simple as that. I hate what Dan Snyder has done to this team, and I hated what Norv Turner did to this team. But I will never abandon this team. If you think there’s something wrong with that, then I think there’s something wrong with you.

As for Snyder – I would do a backflip into the Potomac while wearing skid-marked tighty whities if he somehow went bankrupt and was forced to sell the team. I would prefer an ownership group led by Joe Gibbs, with investors Sonny J., Sam Huff, John Riggins, and Darrell Green.

Now that my break from reality is out of the way, let’s get real. -Snyder is not going anywhere. So the only thing we (WE = TRUE DIEHARD FANS) can hope for is that this mess of mediocrity he has toiled in for 10 years wears thin on him. Maybe while “stalking the locker room” with Vinny one day, he will turn to him and say “Hey, aren’t these YOU GUYS?” When Snyder realizes Cerrato is not the answer to any job that carries responsibility, he will smarten up and hire someone who is actually qualified. I am CONVINCED of this. What I am not convinced of his when this will occur. Could be next week, could be next decade. But, once it does happen, I think we will be VERY GOOD. Once someone gets in there and tells Danny WHEN AND HOW to spend his money WISELY, we will be a dynasty again. (Again, next week or next decade, who knows?)

Now, as for my tickets. I have had tickets since the stadium opened, switching to club level after 1 year. However, I started selling them to my uncle last year. There were a few reasons for this. One, the gameday experience had lost some of it’s excitement. Going to EVERY game kinda dumbed down my senses. I will readily admit that the losing had something to do with this as well. (Also, as I have mentioned on here before, I was pissed that the “wait service”, which is supposed to be part of the club level package, suffered a significant drop in quality/dependability.) Now, I still go to games, just a select few a year. But the main reason I stopped going is that, for LESS than what my tickets cost, I put a home theater with a 92" screen in my basement. 92 inches of high def splendor mixed with Bose surround sound (not to mention MY OWN BEER 10 steps away) kind of trumped going to the game for me.

I love that your complaint is the wait staff. That may be the funniest thing written today.

I forgot about the interview question. My answer there is a resounding NO. I have no interest in seeing Snyder do an interview because I’ve seen his interviews. They are bland, repetitive, and disgustingly contrived. It would be nothing more than Larry Michael asking him about how many trees he’s planted (91,704?), how many charities he supports (the Foundation for Floundering Franchises, the “Donate to a Winless Team” Organization), and finally, all the (UGH) good he’s done for this city. He ill never give a truthful interview to a legitimate reporter who asks honest, upfront, revealing questions that we actually want to know the answers to.

Now, someone mentioned an open forum. I would be all for that, provided the audience questions aren’t from Red Zebra plants. And if I could ask him one question, it would simply be this – “Dan, can you tell me what’s more important to you – building a successful franchise or stroking your ego?” And before he answers I would say “Here’s the rub. You CAN have both. You can easily stroke your ego by being the owner of a successful franchise. The image of Bob Kraft hoisting the Lombardi trophy time and again is a lot more lasting, and a HELL OF A LOT MORE indicative of a great owner than the image of you standing on a podium every year announcing the new coach or the new free agent you’ve signed to generate OFFSEASON buzz.”

I have been called to buy season tickets, I refused.

1.) Do you own season tickets, and if so, would you ever hand them in? (For those that don’t have tickets, would you ever buy them if your name came on the list for decent view uppers or corner lowers)? – No, no I would not because it would not make an impact on ownership, they still make enough money selling the seats to Congressmen and businessmen who don’t know anything about football but will open their wallets for season passes, and are too busy suing grandmas for remittances.

2.) Would you ever team change loyalty given Snyder is not likely to change his ways of controlling the front office and Cerrato seems to have job security? – I would strongly consider changing team loyalty if
A) Snyder does not act like he has any accountability for the absolute clusterfuc* he fields time & time again with the same tired policies of not delegating any football decisions to subordinate authorities + his control-freak mindset, and
B) Cerrato retains his job security

3.) If the Skins continue at this rate, do you foresee yourself participating in anything to send a message to the front office, whether it be paper bags or something else? – I absolutely would if I still lived near DC.

4.) Are you going out of your way to not spend money on official Redskins gear or concessions sold at Fedex? – I absolutely am and have since Snyder petulantly fired Gregg Williams and hired this absolute moron Zorn to head this team.

1.) Do you own season tickets, and if so, would you ever hand them in? (For those that don’t have tickets, would you ever buy them if your name came on the list for decent view uppers or corner lowers)?

Yes, I do own season tickets and, yes, I would consider handing them in… but only if I could upgrade to an even better seat!! ha But on a serious note: To any and all STHers who may be in the lower level, maybe even along the 50-yard line, please please hand them in!!

2.) Would you ever change team loyalty given Snyder is not likely to change his ways of controlling the front office and Cerrato seems to have job security?

NEVER. EVER. PERIOD. I don’t care if Snyder and Cerrato are running the show for 1000 more seasons. I will be supporting my beloved Washington Redskins through the wins and losses, because that is what a loyal fan is supposed to do.

3.) If the Skins continue at this rate, do you foresee yourself participating in anything to send a message to the front office, whether it be paper bags or something else?

No. That is a complete waste of time. No matter what the intention of booing and wearing a bag over your face may be, that behavior disrespects and demoralizes the PLAYERS, who are sacrificing themselves (literally) to win us football games. Snyder already realizes how bad the situation is and he will make the adjustments necessary to get us back on track. Remember, winning and being competitive will increase his bottom line exponentially. BE PATIENT.

4.) Are you going out of your way to not spend money on official Redskins gear or concessions sold at Fedex?

Of course not. That’s ridiculous. If I see some Redskins shoes or hat or jersey, and I like it, I’m buying it. And if I’m still thirsty at the game (or my buzz is wearing off), I won’t hesitate one millisecond to buy those $8 beers. And if I see a fellow HH blogger there, I’ve been known to buy him one, too. I ain’t going broke and billionaire Snyder sure as hell ain’t going broke just because a few hundred people boycott concessions. It’s comical to even think that. Dan Snyder is here for the long haul. Get over it already. And yes, it could be worse.

Well, the first is not true and the second will not happen in our lifetime. Calling a self-made billionaire a MORON is in itself moronic. He ain’t dumb people, he just needs to let go of his EGO. Will that ever happen? Your guess is as good as mine.

OK…just kidding….he is a MORON for suing his team’s own fanbase in the middle of a recession.
