The Yankees could draft players, although they rarely ended up in Yankees uniforms. Case in point being Fred McGriff(Jesus, imagine him with that porch in right field?). There are many others. McGriff is just the one that comes to mind automatically. lonya:

He just makes me crazy. My family has had season tickets since 1965. Even though we live 650 miles away now, we go to DC for games at least a few times a year - until recently. Why should we bother? DC is a great town and I love the people, but a weekend trip and a plane ticket to see a team that just sucks?? As one of the other commenters said, Danny thinks he can win on the Yankees model. NFL is the ultimate team sport and has a salary cap - so you can't just throw money at a team and expect to win. He pays players too much, coaches too much and doesn't give the team a chance to become a team. He needs to go so the Skins will have a chance to return to the elite ranks of the NFL. I never imagined at the Metrodome in '92 that the Skins would be out for the next 17 years or more. as others have said, if only we could fire the owner.... Danny is a moron. He just makes me crazy.

I agree about Danny adopting Yankee style ownership skills. The problem is that the old Yankee style of buying free agents doesn't work as well in football as it does in baseball. One Catfish Hunter or Reggie Jackson can almost turn around a team overnight but it takes more than that with a football team and Danny hasn't quite gotten around to realizing that yet. Not to mention the fact that for all his faults George and his staff signed a greater percentage of picks that worked out than Danny, Frank C.

Randy Lerner, the owner of the Cleveland Browns, doesn't give a s**t. Lerner loves his Aston Villa soccer team in the Preimer League, and the Browns was his daddy's team. Browns fans are in hell.

It has done nothing, but hurt us in the long run. It will not surprise me if Zorn, Campbell and Portis are all gone by the end of the season.

My friend say 'well that's gonna work out great.' And Stubblefield compared him to Eddie DeBartolo. Maybe in attitude, obviously not in talent.

I know he's the owner of the team you follows, but quite honestly, that is too good a franchise to have such a pompous ass for an owner. He acts like he knows football when he actually knows JACK. People blast Jerry Jones and Al Davis, but at least the KNOW football, and have a passion for the game. Snyder isn’t a ‘football’ guy, and only bought the team to be ‘one of the guys in the club’.
