Maximizing profits, shaking down cities for stadium deals, negotiating contracts -- expanding he is the right kind of GM when it comes to filling owners' pockets.
He over-kills on the drug suspensions, coverups things to prevent bad publicity, over-corrects when there is. Given that teams generally dislike the media, that probably scored some points there with the owners.
He is terrific for league profits. I'm not too happy my self with the rule changes, punishment overkill for victimless crimes -- inconsistent when there is. Forcing municipalities to bleed red ink just because he can.
In all honesty, Roger Goddell, Dan Snyder, and Jerry Jones probably all get along great. Probably the only thing they disagree is revenue sharing.
Washington NFL owner wants new DC stadium that “feels like RFK”
Daniel Snyder’s Washington football team has sent out a survey to season ticket holders about what they’d like to see in a new stadium to replace 18-year-old FedEx Field, and blah blah blah, this is an old gimmick to get people excited about the prospect of a new stadium, so really the less said about it the better, unless you really think Snyder is going to decide on how many seats to build based on an email poll. I do like this bit, though:
“We’ve already seen some preliminary drawings, and I’m going to be very retro with it,” Snyder said then. “It’s going to feel like RFK. It’s going to move like RFK.”
