Unemployed Blogger to Blame For Redskins’ Slump
If you thought Jim Zorn lost the magic, Jason Campbell needed to be replaced by Todd Collins, or that Clinton Portis’ pockets weren’t as straight as we thought, none of those were the reasons for the Redskins second-half slump.
Instead, let’s blame this guy.
The season turned south right after my layoff. At the end of October, the Skins were 6-2 and poised to make a run at the postseason. The running game was working, and the defense was snuffing opponents. They were playing Redskins football, as it’s called in and around DC. I lost my job, and the team dropped 6 of their next 8 games. Critical breakdowns in what once worked led to an 8-8 finish. By many accounts, the team had lost its way.
Indeed, these are some tough economic times, but at least you have a legitimate target for your angst about the Redskins underachievement. Blame the guy who’s a victim of the greedy capitalistic nature of The Man. And by the way, “The Man” is code for Daniel Snyder.

Plus, lil’ Danny’s Valkyrie movie with his lil’ Buddy Tom Cruise ain’t doing too well either (despite the perpetual marketing push).
Six Flags is crap.
I’m pretty sure Johnny Rockets will go down the toilet soon too.
That’s the Snyder touch.
I did hear that Valkyrie sucked. On the other hand, I still like Tom Cruise. He seems like he would be laid back if you caught him at a bar or something.
Daniel Snyder on the other hand might try to buy the bar just to keep you away from it.
