An interesting read on Dan Snyder - excerpted from Mike Freeman's new book "Two Minute Warning: How Concussions, Crime and Controversy Could Kill the NFL (and What the League Can Do to Survive)."
That Snyder and Jerry Jones were incensed by the league's sanctioning, led by Mara, over their front-loading of contracts before the uncapped year is old news. But the vivid detail of this account is intriguing.
"Then Bruce Allen, Washington's general manager and Snyder's most trusted lieutenant, addressed the room. According to a longtime NFL team executive who was present, it wasn't long into his speech before Allen threatened to sue every owner in the NFL. He would go on to get more fiery, personal and ugly from there, as he began pacing furiously around the hotel ballroom. There were more threats of a lawsuit. Allen grew angrier. He began screaming."
"He saved some of his harshest remarks for John Mara, co-owner of the Giants and one of the most respected men in all of sports, a key cog who has been with the team for decades. Mara was furious. Everyone in the room was stunned."

Just an enormous piece of shit.
His pic is up there, bro.
The funny part was Snyder offering him 50% of his bonus and promising not to sue my brother over some ridiculous non-disclosure nonsense as an initial settlement. The asshole had just made 2B on the sale of his company, and here he was trying to dick over people who helped him make that. He is just a real piece of shit human
