Next we will here that the Redskins are trying to trade for Michael Vick because of the eventual P.E.T.A. connection.

Being rich does not give you the right to spend your money like a moron, Warren Buffet still lives in the house he bought in the 70′s, now that man is a true American.
=======================================
Being poor or middle class doesn’t give you the right to tell rich people what they can spend their money on.
Warren Buffet chooses to be frugal. Good for him. A lot of very wealthy folks do. Dan Snyder chooses to spend his wealth. And why shouldn’t he? You can’t take it with you when you die. He earned it.

What an eccentric billionare should really buy for ecclectic furniture is a desk MADE from the body of Steve Irvin…a little Bindy doll instead of a flower vase….

Among other things he has solidified his position as the 2nd worst owner in the league. Al Davis has the honors.
I heard a story once that he was at a party with some big names in Washington one night when a prominent businessman (who happened to be much older than him) approached him and said, “Danny, great party!” To which he followed up, “That’s Mr Snyder.” Such an ass! Glad he has driven that franchise into the shitter

Why is no one talking about Dunta robinson to the Redskins? Top flight CB, maybe not the Elite CB, but better than CR, Smoot, or KB. He was the top corner in Houston and he would be great alongside Hall, which would push Carlos to nickel (I think CR would be a great nickel).
We don’t need Sproles. Dansby would be great. Rolle would be alright, but I would prefer Mays. Peppers is soooo unnecessary (he would be old school Redkins free agency).

“This chance will only come once in a lifetime. So what if you give these guys a majority of their money in the up front (makes following years under the cap managable)”
Are you under the impression that the salary cap as it existed before will magically return after a one year hiatus? The guy has spent like a billion bucks worth of free agent contracts and it has won him jack. Mainly because he always spends it on crap and never gives the team a chance to build chemistry. You, like Dan Snyder, will never learn.

“With that being said can we now have Antrelle Rolle, Karlos Dansby, and perhaps J. Peppers?”
Wouldn’t you rather have a winning record? A playoff appearance, perhaps?

“The story is crazy,” Snyder said in a release from the team. “I don’t even own a pair of alligator shoes.”
Only because you can’t find alligator shoes in kids sizes.

It was the redskins who were suing unemployed season ticket holders for not paying? Now we know why Snyder is so harsh.
I know this is a free country and we spend money on what we want. But alligator skin desks? It is a clear sign of mental illness

Good for Danny. His fan base is free to pay for whatever entertainment they are getting from his franchise and he should be able to do whatever he wants with the money.
It’s not like $600,000 will help them get a Super Bowl, so why not?
Danny, I know where you can get…

@Ken West
Snyder did not build the stadium. Snyder did not refuse to pay the MVA to do a traffic analysis. Snyder did not tell the construction company that he didn’t care what they said he wants the parking designed this way…
That was JKC. All of that game day experience (other than the loosing) is on JKC.

You forgot to mention that the desks are made by Carl Farbman and have drawers that Japanese businessmen can sleep in.

Those two alligator desks can probably guard the QB better then most linemen currently employed by the Redskins.

Snyder is the ass. Those picking on MF are probably some of the same fools that spend money going to FedEx.
On numerous occasions I have turned down free club level tickets to Skins games, partly on principle but mainly because its the worst stadium experience on earth.

I’m guessing these desks were ordered for Shanahan’s office to match his complexion.

“Who cares. This is America, where you can buy whatever the hell you want.”
Sure is. But if you’re in labor negotiations with your employees and your main claim is that the last labor deal has caused NFL teams to be unprofitable, it’s probably a bad idea to blow the better part of a million bucks on a desk.
It would be sort of like showing up to your alimony hearing in a Ferrari.

that analogy sucks. Snyder made his cash before he bought the Skins, and his and other owners argument is that the TEAMs are not as profitable as they used to be.

What does the owner of the Post also owning Fox got to do with it???
If it keeps him to broke to overpay Julius Peppers, Antrelle Rolle, and Karlos Dansby it’s a good investment.
So long as there’s enough left to SIGN SOME F*&^% OFFENSIVE LINEMEN YOU DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!!!
