Dan Snyder and Robert Mugabe would make good friends.

Epsilon: It's an interesting story about Dan Snyder. He doesn't know jack shiat about professional football.

Snyder made his fortune by selling over-priced travel packages for Spring Break and other popular getaways. Then when he had enough millions, he decided it would be cool to own an NFL team. The cheapest team up for sale was the Redskins.

I can't criticize the guy too much, he is a self-made millionaire, which is a lot more than I've done in life. But I would stop short of kissing the guy's ass.

The Spring Break gig was something he did when was much younger. He made his millions in the telecommunications business. Basically, he just outsourced a lot of work from what I gather. Whatever it was he must have done it brilliantly.

He's from Maryland and is a lifelong Skins fan. Skins were one of the most valuable NFL franchises when he bought it. He was originally going to be a minority owner under Howard Milstein but that deal went through and Dan collected his own merry band of investors and that's how he ended up with the team. He probably always dreamt of being where he is now.
