What was heard on FedEx on Sunday wasn’t booing, but Mooing. Dano Snyder’s favorite Cash Cows, known to other owners as fans, were milked dry and then put in a No-Touchdown Zone field. One wonders if Dano isn’t contemplating suing the fans for some sort of breach of contract. Have we checked the fine print on the back of tickets? Booing the Skins must be a sueable offense.
Dano is coming very close to breaking the Golden Calf. While technically a sellout, the house was not full on opening day. The Redskins maintain that there are 160,000 people on the waiting list, but everyone who has received phone calls from the Redskins trying to sell tickets thinks the list is bogus.
Here’s Snyder’s most recent good-will tour: sue fans and move the loyal tailgaters from their favorite spots.
Just who are the fans booing? Not the players, even though one never-heard-of linebacker took time to call them terrible fans. I’m sure Snyder has already called what’s his name and told him to never bad mouth sucker-fans in public.
Since Snyder is smart enough not to go out in public, they can’t boo the arrogant owner with the Napoleon Complex. So they booed his latest mistake. No I’m not talking about cornerback DeAngelo Hall, but head coach Jim Zorn.
In an interview after the game Redskins Hall of Fame quarterback Sonny Jurgensen told the coach he would have audibled out of the halfback option call. Zorn said he would have bench him. Maybe he would but the Redskins would probably have scored on Sonny’s play. Sonny did that to George Allen once. Came in for one play, when Billy Kilmer had to sit out a play because of an injury time out, Sonny was suppose to hand the ball off but instead threw a TD pass.
Jurgensen has forgotten more football than Zorn knows now. In eight quarters so far the Redskins have scored one offensive touchdown. The other came on a fake field goal, which is why the coach called the halfback option -- the Redskins do not have an offensive play inside the 10-yard line.
Let’s face it. Zorn is the coach because Book’em Dano ran off all of the real head coach candidates. We’re about to have another Dano search again with his famous all day & night interviews. Who is Dano kidding? He doesn’t know enough football to handle such a conversation.
One thing is for sure, Dano will ask the Cash Cows to pay for it.
