And no, I am not that fan...

This comment was so ridiculous that I figured I had to share it with you guys. There is a thread on Extremeskins, a Washington Redskins message board that I frequent, that depicts Daniel Snyder as a brilliant football mastermind who has made numerous innovations to the league and whose master plan is coming to fruition in the near future.

As if this wasn't bad enough, a poster on said thread attempted to defend Daniel Snyder's frivelous free agent spending with the following quote:

"Better to go 0-16 every year trying to build a GREAT team through Free Agency than to go 19-0 and win the Super Bowl every year by building a mediocre team through the draft (ie.. the New England Patriots)."

At first, like any rational human being would, I thought that the poster was being sarcastic. However, it turns out that he was being completely serious. Feel free to read the entire thread here:

The post I am referring to is the 4th reply on the 2nd page and was made by a poster with the screenname 'Mass_SkinsFan'. I am not sure if the 'Mass' part is referring to Massachusettes.

It's ridiculous alright. My response on extremeskins was:

"Ok, what I am about to say I mean quite literally and I say it with absolutely no exaggeration or hyperbole... probably the dumbest statement ever uttered in the history of forever."

That guy is a joke. He was on kffl for a while until he got laughed out of there. One of his most famous goofs was when he was a Red Sox fan and they were down 0-3 to the yankees. He "renounced" his fandom to the Sox and asked how he could become a yankees' fan. Of course, the Sox then went on to reverse sweep the yanks, sweep the cards and win the World Series.

I like the idea that Snyder was trying to get everyone else in the NFL to go the free agent route to build a team so he could go ahead and build the draft. He sure is milking it, though!

On another note, I think Matt Millen has been hustling the NFL all along and will unleash a decade long dynasty for the Lions any minutes now!

Yankees/Colts

The award might have to be for the most untimely post in history, considering the Patriots have become the Redskins. Dan Snyder has set up shop in Foxboro.

Uh, they had $30M in cap room by not buying up every free agent in sight.

Now they make one huge free agent signing...relatively cheap, I might add...and three other very smart pickups and they're the 'Skins?

Who's that first team in your name, by the way, and what'd $200M get them?

TripleOption

What does that even mean??
