just . . . astonishing (from defector + wapo)
The funniest insight into Snyder’s warped brain comes from the rundown of his relentless pursuit of petty feuds with the many enemies he’s come to suspect of dishing gossip to journalists, and his attorneys’ tenuous but often successful legal maneuvering to gain access to the private communications of those enemies. Most prominent among that group is former WFT president Bruce Allen, who Snyder fired in December 2019 following a 3–13 regular season. Snyder became convinced that Allen was connected to the big trumped-up global conspiracy business, and his lawyers insisted they had “rock-solid” evidence of this whole deal, but it turns out what really knotted up Snyder’s undies may have been that Allen didn’t congratulate him for hiring head coach Ron Rivera two years ago:
In January 2020, after the news conference announcing Rivera’s hire, according to these people, Snyder learned that Allen had sent a congratulatory text to Rivera. Snyder was insulted, these people said, that he didn’t receive a similar text from Allen, whom Snyder had fired a few weeks before.
This was significant enough of a sticking point between the two men that Snyder attempted to use the pandemic and the threat of withholding money contractually owed to Allen as leverage, in order to force his former subordinate to send along a nice text message. Hilariously, even this failed to secure the desired congratulations:
Later that year, the team, citing the pandemic, attempted to get out of paying Allen all of the money he was owed under his contract. Allen fought back, and Snyder agreed to pay his full salary. But in a message sent to Allen’s lawyers over settlement terms, one of Snyder’s lawyers included a condition that Allen wouldn’t agree to meet, according to text messages reviewed by The Post.“In addition, I understand that Mr. Allen has agreed to send a text message to Mr. Snyder stating, ‘Congrats on the hire,’” Snyder’s attorney wrote in July 2020, seven months after Snyder hired Rivera. Allen’s lawyers resolved the pay dispute, but he never sent this text, according to a person with knowledge of the case.

yeah I loved seeing shit like "@ Football Team" on the schedule
new name sucks, didn't like "Guardians" for Cleveland either but at least that one kind of sounds like "Indians" which I think is important when you change a name like this. therefore Washington should've gone with "Pigskins"

It's a good day to re-read this David Brooks NYTMag profile of Dan Snyder from 1999 which portrays Snyder as a breath of fresh air in stuffy DC; concludes "his influence on the Redskins has been unambiguously positive"; & predicts a Super Bowl w/i 5 years. https://t.co/Wrc3x0MTRB— Jason Zengerle (@zengerle) February 2, 2022

senators is one of the funniest names for a team, a classic, they shoulve just gone with that

local girls softball team is the Troubadours which i thought was an alltime dumb name for a sports team
aww I kinda like it
"Senators" is a solid name too
idk the best team names are non-threatening and dumb. the worst ones are the ones that try to appear macho. animals + alliteration are always good - "Seattle Seahawks" is one of the best. idk if "Commanders" is worse than Browns, Bills, or Patriots, but it does have a very Arena Football feel to it, if I were an announcer I'd struggle to say it
