NFL “Today after learning is a “traitor” player was fired, shocked fans!
Thom Loverro offers a postgame email he wrote to John Mooney, managing director of the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency, following the Washington Commanders’ defeat against the Tennessee Titans, in lieu of his usual column.
Kindly, Mr. Mooney I have to write to you about the testimony that you and other gaming regulators heard in August when you granted a sportsbook license for Ghost Town Field, Skipper Dan the Sailing Man Snyder.
According to reports, Skipper Dan expressed his high hopes for the audiences that will be watching his new Commanders this NFL season. However, he was only visible through Zoom, since he was presumably occupied with yacht-related activities. .
“We’re going to have some big-time attendance shortly,” he told you.

Based on the letter his lawyer, former Republican congressman Tom Davis, the newest and latest Skipper Dan mouthpiece (he employs more lawyers than Albert Haynesworth did here), sent to committee Chairwoman Carol Maloney last week, I’ll bet he told some whoppers.
Among the stories in that nine-page letter was this whale of a tale — blaming former team president and general manager Bruce Allen for all the workplace abuses that have been laid at Skipper Dan’s
