Thing I find funny, if the Redskins are such serial 'lowballers', why hasn't Hankins been snatched up by those smarter teams offering reasonable money?
I think they do lowball expecting agents to counter offer. If they move on they either were not serious about playing here or hoping like in the past to get a payday from the redskins.
It's really pretty easy to sum up the situation.
We have non-football guys calling the shots.
That's as absurd as me opening up a gymnastics studio.
Can you be more specific? Even calling Bruce Allen a 'non-football guy' is inaccurate (if that's what you're implying). He played college ball at Richmond, was even drafted, but elected to coach early on instead.
So what exactly are you alleging?
Bruce and Dan are not football guys. And without the help of McLovin's draft guide and knowledge of FA's--when injuries hit in week 10--it's absurd to think they can compete with the best in the country.
I have breakfast twice a month with Bruce's counterpart in the Orlando Magic organization. He's been there 24 years. He recently came out in the paper and admitted that he needed to "refocus" on the product on the court. 24 years.
The Magic purchased all of the real estate around their arena three years ago and built restaurants, bars, etc...and the value of the club has literally tripled in that timeframe.
They have the third worst record in the league, but he's in no jeopardy of losing his job.
7 years ago Redskins fans - we won in FA but build through the draft
Now - Redskins lose in FA - BURN HER SHE'S A WITCH
Being bi-polar is part of our passion but my advice, every year I say I'm not going to pay for Sunday ticket to ensure I watch every game, I do, because in the end, while talent evaluation, aptitude in understanding football are important in the FO, maybe just maybe my brothers, we're not playing to go all out this year, which we should be doing because we're not three to four to five players away from being a winner, not a contender a winner. Yeah Philly re-set the deck, Cinderella happens sometimes then you end up like the Ravens after Flacco's win, the Buc's with Gruden, Bear's with McMahon, shit it goes back forever. Drink a beer, grab your girls breasts out of the blue and yell HTTR!!
Yeah SO got off work early today, beer is good.
You haven't joined any rooms.
