The Redskins are 4-1, and as evidenced by this video of his post-game reaction to the win at Philly, owner Dan Snyder is excited about his team.
And there’s no reason why he shouldn’t be fired up. He bought the team nine years ago, and despite immense financial success the franchise hasn’t done so well on the field.
This year, in an ultra-competitive NFC East, the ‘Skins have followed a lackluster opening night loss with four straight victories, including wins at Dallas and at Philly.
The success of the team also validates Snyder’s decision to hire Jim Zorn to coach the team, and to give ever-increasing authority to Vinny Cerrato, who some league insiders have privately predicted could never get a similar job with any other team.
Given the current success of the Redskins, Cerrato probably won’t ever need to try.

He is so cute isn’t he? Sure he charges crazy prices for Food and Beer at FedEx, but he cares. Yes he’s made some stupid decisions since he bought the team (signed Jeff George, Let Trent Green go and traded away Brad Johnson, Neon Deion, Mark Carrier, Adam Archuletta, Fired Marty Shottenheimer, Hired Steve Spurrier, and let Uncle Gibbs trade away draft picks for players like TJ Duckett and Brandon Lloyd), but he spends the money on the team in the hopes it will win.
It would appear the curse of John Kent Cook (ex owner Jack Kent Cook’s son) is finally over. Or at least I hope it is. HAIL SKINS!!!

Ok I retract my previous post that “He’s so cute isn’t he?” As notkrisroe stated he is a douche. And it would appear he made his “WOOOOOO!” comments while coming off the field? If he starts showing up on the sidelines like PigFace Jones does during games that would be very disappointing.

As much as I hate to admit it, the Skins look pretty good. Really, the entire NFC east looks to be among the elite of the NFL.
I thought the skins would be pretty bad this year with a a new coach, new offensive scheme. If they keep playing this well, the NFC is going to be a very very brutal place to play.

Now, why cant more owners be like that. He owns the team, he should be able to be pumped about his team winning. He’s made some stupid decisons but now he’s making good ones in picking Zorn. Good for him and good for the NFL. Better than some owners that you dont even here or know about.

What people is Dan Snyder not allowed to get fired up? Funny how some of the people calling him a douche are probably the same dorks that paint there face, get beered up and make asinine, idiotic comments thru the entire game..And as far as the NFC East being the best division in football, well, I dont disagree, but I’m quite sure the Panthers and a handful of other teams would be more than happy to play anyone from the nfc east any time, anywhere

I work at Chuck e Cheese, and right after the game Snyder came in and ordered pizzas for everyone.
FYI, he is still there playing the pop the weasel game.

Good for Snyder, it’s great to see him happy about his team.
Hey, the man tries to win and he’s happy when they do, wtf is wrong with that?
The hating on this board is off the hook.

I’ll take 4-1 after three divisional road games. Snyder should be happy. Now for the Rams. Hail!

The NFC East is definitely tops in the NFL this year. But since they each have to play 6 divisional games against quality teams, their records could suffer. Its like the NFL’s version of the SEC. The shittiest thing is that at least 1 of the 4 won’t make the playoffs while an arguably undeserving team (like one from the NFC West) will. That said, the Redskins now have all their road divisional games out of the way and looked good winning 2 out of the 3. The Giants still appear to be the class of the division though…

I always find it amusing when high-level executives get fired up about something. There’s something that just seems so fake about it to me, like they feel they should be fired up so then they follow the executive handbook: 1) Clap 2) Raise Voice 3) Announce accomplishments.
I’ve been enjoying watching the Redskins this year though. I think Zorn could be the real deal, we’ll have to wait and see.
