Snyder Rewrites Pro Sports

Dan Snyder is changing the face of professional sports franchises. He brought his media and marketing savvy to sports and is showing other owners how to make money. He was not content to rest on his laurels after buying his favorite team. It is quite impressive to see what Snyder has done to grow the business and team's value.

Many professional sports teams are family owned and have been that way for many years. They don't treat the franchise as the media business it truly is and therefore haven't realized its financial potential. Dan Snyder is doing just that.

Thrilling Victory

The Skins did an amazing job against a strong defense. It's very clear now what a difference Clinton Portis makes. Things are starting to click between Portis' return to health, confidence building from the win against the Texans, and familiarity with Saunders' offense.

Santana Moss did an excellent job with the overtime catch. If he didn't go up to snatch that ball thereby changing his momentum, the safety coming across would have knocked both his head off and probably the ball loose from his grip. Instead, Moss snagged it right at the moment he was open between the two defenders and sprinted home. Brunell really put it on the money. Boy was I wrong to write Brunell off. While he can't carry the team in Portis' absence, he has shown the last two weeks that he knows how to get the ball in the hands of the playmakers after all. Sorry Mark, I was wrong!

Redskins AmBush Texans

The Skins desperately needed a win. How fortunate that the Texans could provide such an opportunity. The team needed a confidence builder and this was it. They have something upon which to build. Now if only they can address all the penalties.

Jacksonville is going to be a rough game. They've looked like one of the top teams in the league early in the season. At least the Skins face them at home.

It's time to turn over the reins to Jason Campbell.

Mark Brunell has been dreadful. The last few games of the regular season, Brunell was mediocre at best. During the two playoff games, he was horrendous. During this preseason, he did nothing. And these first two games of the 2006 season, Brunell has looked old, slow, and out of sync.


Yes, Brunell is a good guy. Yes, Brunell is a veteran. Yes, Brunell has done some good things. But he just can't get it done anymore.

Campbell -- Show us what you got.

Kenny Wright sucks! Why do they have him on the team?
