Daniel Snyder’s Reign of Terror Continues
The Big Lead —
... home of the dreadful 2-5 Redskins - fans can no longer bring in any signs. Want to say hello to your husband in Iraq? Nope. Want to say something positive about London Fletcher? Too bad. “A spokesman told me that this policy is meant to protect spectators from getting injured by signs, and also to make sure everyone can see the action.” It is Snyder’s team. He can do as he pleases. But this decision is a brick of epic proportions. Hopefully it blows up in his face. [DC Sports Bog] ...

Danny Snyder Doesn't Like Your Heartfelt Signage [Duan!]
Deadspin —
Dan Steinberg found this in a trash can outside FedEx Field, where pretty much every form of human expression has been banned. It's clear: Dan Snyder is just a moustache and a pogrom or two short of being Joseph Stalin. Steinberg's post is a doozy. It's less a collection of discarded signage than a multicount indictment against Snyder and his increasingly paranoid stewardship of the Redskins: Now I've feigned a lot of outrage in recent days, outrage over the offensive line, and the GM, and the draft, and whatever else. I mean, ...

The Redskins Will Brook No Dissent, From Fans or Otherwise
The Sporting Blog —
... allowing negative signs into the stadium, which would probably be seen by at most a few thousand people and quickly forgotten, the franchise is instituting ridiculous and oppressive policies, which only serve to cast the organization as paranoid and resentful of its supporters. These changes generate story after story enumerating the many contradictions and the mounting public outrage they generate. And eventually a once loyal fanbase splinters to nothing.

... The Washington Redskins are reaching a new level patheticness -- and I'm not talking on the field. The team has banned fans from brining signs into Fed Ex Field. (And make sure you click that link to see some of the signs, especially the first one.) The organization has put forth some BS story about signs being dangerous to other fans and obstructed views, because, you know, we hear about fans getting injured by signs ALL THE TIME. ...

2009 NFL Season – Week 8 Preview
Taking it to the House —
... 39 games. The poor Rams have lost 17 straight games going back to 2007 and each week not even Pro Bowl running back Steven Jackson (635 rushing yards – 2nd in NFC) can save them from defeat. The Rams hold a lead in the all-time series record (41-37-1), but the Lions have won 4 of their last 6 meetings. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your outlook, the ‘Toilet Bowl’ did not sell out by Thursday’s deadline and will be blacked-out on local TV. At least fans can bring signs to the game unlike at FedEx Field where the dysfunctional Washington Redskins ...
