Mike Florio and Chris Simms took their turn on Pro Football Talk taking shots at Snyder and the organization, clearly sounding like they are both tired of the controversies surrounding the Commanders and Snyder in particular.
Florio has numerous times said the NFL owners are protecting Snyder to protect themselves started, “Do whatever you want in your workplace, but if you pick my pocket you’re done.” (Emphasizing “if” this is true.)
Simms: “IF this reporting is accurate, he will be seeing his butt on its way out the door…You start stealing money from us, you are out of here.”
Florio: “It is possible, but one would think the deterrent of getting kicked out of league would be enough to keep you from doing it.
“The problem with constantly thinking you are smartest person in the room is you eventually learn the hard way you are the dumbest.”
“That’s what you get when you let the person who can show up with the biggest bag of cash buy the franchise and we will worry about the details later.”
Simms: “Alex Smith, who doesn’t say anything about anybody and couldn’t be the more professional guy in the world, came out last week and said, ‘It’s weird, of course, it affects us.’
BREAKING: The House Oversight Committee has received info alleging the Washington Commanders used a scheme to hold back ticket revenue from the NFL, sources tell @byajperez.
The Commanders allegedly did not pass along the required 40% share of ticket sales to visiting teams.

“It’s one disaster after another. Of course, it affects the coaches, the staff and everybody else… D____, Ron Rivera has had to deal with a lot of crap, since taking over this team.”
Florio: “Why did he (Rivera) take that job? He kind of rushed into that one, when there were other opportunities out there. Unless he saw an opportunity to go in and take over. That somebody needs to go in stuff Dan Snyder in a locker and show leadership here…”
Florio and Simms were both ready to echo the accusations of the weekend. Yet, Jason Friedman has yet to show any evidence.
It is always so much easier to jump in when others are leading the way with accusations. It is quite different to let the evidence form your opinions of what actually transpires.
Washington fans are no doubt hoping the accusations are true, and that Snyder will soon be removed from ownership of the Commanders. But I recall several years ago the CBS show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. The lead character Gil Grissom would often need to remind the staff to not follow the accusations, but “follow the evidence.”
