Cheap Seats Daily: Win Over Dallas Was ‘Better Than Asbestos Litigation’?
More proof that everybody but Highlights Magazine is writing about the Redskins: Now, even the military/industrial complex is going after Dan Snyder. Military.com, a website for the forces, ran a story "Redskins Owner Dan Snyder Doesn't Want You to Support the Troops in His Stadium."
The piece takes a photo of a poster taken by FedExField security guards before the Eagles/Skins game that says "Hi to my huband in Afghanistan," and runs with it. The Great Dan Steinberg made that poster famous after fishing it out of the trash near the stadium entrance.
To be fair, Snyder has shown support for our National Defense. Well, he put out a Commemorative Sept. 11 Redskins hat that had a red-white-and-blue Pentagon stitched on to the side in 2005.
And he sold that hat for only $23.99. Plus shipping. And he kept the money. But still. Bottom line: When Military.com lowers the boom on you, something's gotta give.
And everybody's favorite magazine geared toward an audience of corporate counsel people, Corporate Counsel magazine, also jumps in this week with "Not Exactly a Banner Season for the Washington Redskins."
The publication interviews new Redskins COO and total BS'er David Donovan about the new policies at FedExField prohibiting signs and banning interviews in the parking lot, and he was also asked about fans at the Eagles game having to remove their t-shirts if the message on the garments was anti-Snyder.
"We're not trying to limit what anyone wants to say or chant or wear," Donovan told Corporate Counsel.
Wow. Thus continues Donovan's awe-inspiring streak of just saying stuff so dishonest that not even he could believe it.
(AFTER THE JUMP: Not even Corporate Counsel magazine can stomach David Donovan's whoppers? David Donovan and Dan Snyder, adrenaline rush buddies? How does a Redskins win compare to a class action lawsuit? Skins are only the third-worst team in the NFL? Bono had a hand in Cooley's wounding? D.C. United coach bails?)

Cerrato Shows Up for His Radio Show, Blames Season on Pete Kendall
Vinny Cerrato and the Boomtown Rats don't like Mondays.
At least, Cerrato's been AWOL from his radio show on Dan Snyder's radio station, WTEM, on mornings after recent games, as the Redskins fell from overachieving underdogs to just plain dogs.
But the Skins won yesterday, and Cerrato was back as host this morning.
The Redskins' chronically maligned personnel chief even let listeners on the air, though the number of positive calls made it seem like the WTEM phone bank had more screening than a malaria tent. (One wiseacre did get through by buttering up Cerrato and the team before yelling, "You're a moron!")
So while his team was officially eliminated from playoff contention yesterday, Cerrato got drunk on the positivity. He actually played a misguided game of "What if?" when a fan wondered aloud why the season turned out so disappointingly.
“If Pete Kendall just doesn’t catch that ball against St. Louis,” Cerrato said.
Good god!
Cerrato was referring to a play against the Rams when Kendall, an offensive lineman, caught a batted pass and then fumbled it. St. Louis picked up the loose ball and ran it in for a touchdown.
Sure, that was a huge play in that one game.
But to cite Kendall's aggressive miscue so publicly all these weeks later, after all the more revealing psychic crap that's gone down lately over at the dysfunction junction that is Redskins Park --- Santana: what the hell? --- is just plain dumb.
And it provides more proof why a guy in Cerrato's job shouldn't have a radio show.
Sunday’s FedExField Forecast: No Skies of Blue, But Sea of Green
Craigslist has posted more than 1,000 ads for Redskins tickets in its local tickets section since Sunday.
Nearly all the ads, as far as I can tell, are for sales of pairs or groups of tickets to this Sunday's Skins/Eagles game.
Steve Czaban, the voice of the fan on Dan Snyder's sports station, WTEM, called on fans to kickstart a "Give Your Tickets to an Eagles Fan" movement for the game to protest the ineptitude of Redskins management.
The Skins have no realistic shot at the postseason after the loss to Cincinnati.
As if the meaninglessness of the game for the Redskins, Snyder's beer and parking costs, and advances in TV technology didn't provide enough incentive to follow Czaban's lead and stay home, weather.com predicts rain and a high of 40 degrees on game day.
The only reason to show up would be to see if or how many fans boo Clinton Portis, Santana Moss, Jason Campbell and Jim Zorn.
Come to think of it, that might be enough to get me out there.
