REDSKINS LAY OFF 20 PEOPLE. And Cerrato somehow survived. Actually, only two of the dismissals were on the football side. Either way, don’t listen to the village dipshits that point to this as a sign of the economy. Okay, maybe Snyder’s wiping his ass with 10s instead of 20s these days, but my inner skeptic tells me that this has less to do with paying the bills and more to do with the likelihood paying an inflated tax bill, once a certain president-elect starts work 11 days from now.

Danny Snyder’s a wee little man and a wee little man was he.

Must be the 42 head coaches still on the payroll.

Snyder thinks he just made cap space.

He’s not trying to avoid Obama’s rollback of the tax cuts for tycoons. He’s trying to help Bush set a new record for most jobs lost in a presidency. What a patriot.

That Marley & Me spoiler campaign wasn’t going to pay for itself. “Yeh, they know Hitler doesn’t die at the end, but what if they also know the dog does die?”

Other budgetary measures include discontinuing the “menstrual rags of death” in favor or refashioning old shipments of Atlanta Braves’ foam tomahawks into ‘Official Washington Redskins’ Cooley Cocks TM.’ No word yet on whether Minnesota plans to follow suit with ‘Vishante’s Thundercocks.”

Correction:
“Vishante’s Thunderdicks.”

Are they going to cut the tomahawks in half? Or just use the stubby triangular part?

Think of all the cap space Little Danny would save if he only fired himself.
The hire a monkey to be GM, the team would improve dramatically.

Laying people off to make up for likely future taxes when the economy is in the shitter is like moving out of your house to avoid hurricane season when your house is on fire. And you live in Montana.
