I've Mostly Held My Tongue...

But this ad on Craigslist yesterday says it all:
WANTED!

Experienced business professional (and billionaire) to buy the Washington Redskins Franchise and take it over from the evil Dan Snyder. He is the worst owner in sports and has mismanaged and placed control of the team in the hands of incompetents who probably couldn't manage a team in Madden on franchise mode. Must have at least $1 billion in cash reserves or other liquid asset. Team is valued around $1.2 but Snyder will probably ask for $1.8 (judging by the markups on concessions, tickets with limited view, and parking.)

REQUIREMENTS:
-Can not be a greedy person whose sole joy in life is derived from net worth
-Must be able to take a "hands off" approach to team operations
-Can not be friends with Vinny Cerrato
-Must rename the stadium "FedEx Field at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium"
-Must love the Washington Redskins

I don't believe I've ever been more depressed as a Redskins fan (and believe me, these ladies have been bad for a LOOOOONG time). It's going to be a long, and truly upsetting season.

This has been the freakiest football season.

I count myself lucky to not be a Titans fan. Those poor bastards.

Hang in there; it will get better. Hold onto that dreaaaaaammmmmm!

Well, thankfully, I don't watch football. My husband killed any sort of interest I had it in will his endless sports watching. :-/

Sigh...alright...Sometimes, I happen to be passing by the TV and steal a quick glance at the tight bunns ;-)

At least your incompetent owner throws money around and pretends he's doing something. My owner is a scared little girl who has stocked my team with mediocre "talent."

Lisa's right - it's been a freaky football season. Teams either suck eggs or they're totally awesome. I mean, the Broncos are good and the Titans suck? Who the heck saw that coming? Not I!

Hmmm..it's a pity all the fans can't sign a petition asking for this 'person' to stop interferring! Maybe if thousands signed he might take notice? Then again, maybe not...

I hope things improve Kati!
