"I don't know that management can be scored, but, Snyder obviously would get the advantage. He took over the Commanders and turned them immediately into the top revenue producing team in the league, passing your Boys. He spends great money on the players and he's not, as Jones has been, involved at ALL in player evals or acquisitions. Snyder isn't watching film with the staff even now as Jones still is. Snyder is the closer. The pitch man. He is doing contracts and closing the deal. Snyder has the closed relationship with agents of any owner in the league. Not only because he spends, but because he's wined and dined them in the offseason meetings to get closer to them. Cerrato is a true football man, whether you like him or not. That alone is an advantage over the Jones boys. I don't know that this is helpful on the field, but I'll say that Snyder hasn't been a guy to assign starting roles to players as Jones has and that has hurt the team."
What a freaking tool this guy is!!

1.) The fact they were granted a franchise.
2.) The fact they were blackmailed into voting for their most hated rival's induction and genesis into the league.
3.)Daniel Snyder buys the team.
4.)Free Agency.
5.)Joe Gibbs comes out of retirement.

Those guys apparently must have been on the field after the loss last year on monday night.
I guess this guy has no problem gloating and being an arrogant jerk.
Would love to see his pic. I will use it in the Commanders-cowboys preview video I am working on.
I have the Commanders mascot chief zee taking his head dress off and putting on the cowboys hat and saying go cowboys from crazy ray's ceremony the other day. It is going to be a great video clip to have.

Well I do know Art, and the answer is.....NO, it isn't helpful on the field, as everyone has witnessed.
The goal of any sports team is to win championships. It's great and all that Snyder has turned the Commanders into a money making machine, but they don't award trophies for that. I'm quite certain the Commanders fans would be happier with a current Lombardi trophy than with the fact that their team leads all others in profit.
But hey, at least your team is #1 in something.....right?

found this funny article with art mentioned.
http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/cheap/2005/cheap1021.html
Some media-bashers aren’t so loath to be outed. The poster who goes by Art is the Wilt Chamberlain of ExtremeSkins.com—he now claims more than 21,000 posts to the Skins site alone. Art has positioned himself as more of a media attack dog than a watchdog; he goes after any journo who utters a negative word about Snyder’s operation with the fervor of a scorned Scientologist. Art is the guy responsible for the Nunyo Files, and he says he’d be doing it even if the Commanders hadn’t acquired the site.
“My name is Art Mills, and everybody there knows that ‘Art’ is Art Mills,” he says. “I’ve been attacking bad journalism for years, before the Commanders ever knew my name, and I’ll be attacking bad journalism for years to come.”

My favorite is the firing of Shottenheimer because they probably would've been very good if they had kept him and let him run the organization. NO Skins fan will admit to this and they stick with Snyder, but it's proposterous to think that Snyder was right given his track record and Shottenheimer's track record. Not to mention the crap talent that Snyder saddled Shottenheimer with in the first place. This started the coaching carousel and brought back Gibbs who has been woefully out of place since his comeback.
As far as hilarious mistakes, I'd rank them:
1. Spurrier
2. TJ Duckett
3. Brandon Lloyd
4. Adam Archuleta
The Spurrier one ranks a high with me since for years beforehand me and a couple of my friends (1 of whom is now a college assistant) used to debate with another Florida fanboy about Spurrier having success in the NFL. We concluded that Spurrier would be a joke in the NFL because we studied his offense and his hot reads and it's something that doesn't work in the pro game and essentially, Tom Osborne (Old Nebraska coach, not Orsborne the writer) showed how to do it.
Skins fans told me up and down that Spurrier was going to revolutionize the NFL (had one tell me he invented the 4 WR formation once ) and no matter how many times he looked awful I kept hearing a "wait and see" rebuttal. Then when he basically quit, Skins fans turned on him and many of them will never even come close to admitting that I practically pawned them off for fish heads and rice on that one.
The Duckett trade was like saying "let's find the lousiest way to give up a 3rd round pick."
The Lloyd trade made my day since he was pathetic statistically with the Niners and KC Joyner noted that it had little to do with Alex Smith. Then we got Skins fans saying he's giong to be the next Art Monk and he was better than Owens and he was miserable last year.
I actually thought the Archuleta signing would work, so that's why it's lowest on the list. But, since they gave him the biggest contract in safety history and he wound up starting only 5 games before being trade. Well

releasing davis wasnt a bad move. replacing him with trung was. davis was due a huge salary when the skins let him go- and it just so happened that carolina got about 1 good year out of him before he broke down. i wasnt sad to see his fumbling (dallas fans should know this) arse leave.

we agree on trung. but just because trung didnt work out doesnt mean keeping davis would have been a good move, imo. i think the skins let him go at just the right time. we found a nice replacement for him.
