Locking Up Failure: As Easy As 80 Million

I'm still waiting for everyone to jump out and yell "SURPRISE!!!! WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY DO IT!"  I know I'm not the only one.  I'm pretty sure everyone in the entire world, outside of the Redskins organization (but even then, most people there are probably confused too), is waiting for the joke to end.

Dan Snyder didn't actually extend Donovan McNabb to a five year, 78 million dollar extension, did he?

You're joking me, right?  Come on, this HAS to be a joke.

Okay, I guess it isn't.  I mean, anytime you have the chance to lock-up a breaking down quarterback who hasn't tasted Superbowl success and was recently benched two weeks ago for not knowing the two-minute drill playbook, you have to right?  And especially at such a bargain of 80 million.

McNabb is out of shape.  He can't scramble like he used to.  His accuracy this season...well he's thrown only 9 touchdowns to 11 interceptions.  Enough said.  Oh yeah, and...YOUR HEAD COACH JUST BENCHED HIM FOR REX FREAKIN' GROSSMAN BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW THE PLAYBOOK.  Minor details I guess.

Look, I'll be the first to admit that the NFL is not exactly my specialty.  So maybe I am missing something.  But I highly doubt it.  For a while, Dan Synder, I had forgotten about you when the discussion of "stupidest sports owners" came about in conversation.  Well thank you, you have now permanently carved yourself into the Mount Rushmore of stupid sporting owners, right next to Al Davis, Michael Heisley and Donald Sterling.

Good work, Snyder.  You are a perfect example of how good businessman don't necessarily make good sports owners.

Yeah, McNabb, you got benched for this.

  1. I thought it was a joke the first time I heard about it. I thought the article I was reading was from The Onion.

    Then Mike Vick absolutely shredded Donovan and the Redskins. Vick for MVP?
