Well you have to read the "whole" contract when you sign one. It seems to me most of those folks are being less than honest about how they ended up where they are.

I am also a life time Redskins fan but the real question is when that will be rewarding again.

Some of the stories seem sad but as Bill said you need to read the contract.

I have been a Redskin fan since the mid-60's. Never have been able to afford tickets and have been to only 4 games in about 45 years. If you can't afford to pay for the seats, maybe you shouldn't sign a contract. Still, the article does beg the question, is Dan Snyder ... SATAN? -- lancer

Is that STILL a question?

Actually, I think that question was answered long ago. But, Snyder would seem to be a bumbling Satan, at best. Any how, he must just love all this free publicity. -- lancer

I went to school at GW in the late 60s/early 70s and used to follow them. Snyder has done noththing to help this team. Wonder if Billy Kilmer is still available?

Yeah, he probably does at that. At least it will do until he tries to buy another washed up former superstar or fires the Coach. Maybe Joe Montana or Steve Young will come back; if not there is always Farve.

Snyder has a history of penny pinching fans. Charging them to attend practice, raising bogus safety concerns to force them to park in his expensive lots etc. With the billions the NFL takes in from TV and other sources he is hiring attorneys to shakedown grandmothers who can no longer afford to attend the games? The only thing I ever liked about Deion Sanders is that he walked away with a lot of Dan's money. The guy is a joke.

I almost forgot to add that old Danny boy adds on a parking surcharge on every ticket sold for concerts, soccer events etc held at the stadium. Of course many fans take the metro or several ride together in one car but Dan gets a parking fee from each one - even if they don't drive to the event.

Careful now...Favre is OUR washed up quarterback now...hands off!

Well at least you have a washed up quarterback. We have not had one good enough for that role since Little Joe.
