Published 5/13/2007 by Michael David Smith at FanHouse
... Joe Gibbs makes $6 million a year as an NFL head coach. He also owns a NASCAR team. That team has said it might not want to sign Dale Earnhardt Jr. because of Earnhardt's sponsorship deal with Anheuser-Busch . Something isn't right here.

If Gibbs doesn't want to make money off alcohol, there's only one honorable thing for him to do: Resign from the Redskins.
