On December 1 of 2017, I wrote a letter to Dan Snyder imploring him to do everything in his power to keep Kirk Cousins. Yesterday, I got a FedEx containing only an autographed picture of Dan himself ?? (h/t Reddit) ------ For what it's worth professionally, which is absolutely fucking nothing, I have never found Dan Snyder more entertaining personally than I do in this exact moment. I'm sure it will be very hard for most of the Washington faithful to look past the fact that signing a 33 year old Alex Smith to a long term deal as a way to save yourself some money on the Kirk Cousins front is just a preposterous way to team build. Those that are able to, however, would have to concede that - intentionally or not - this is an objectively hilarious way to respond to a disgruntled fan. I mean, look at that un-tailored suit, the awkward pose, those fidgety hands, and that smirk that just screams "are we done yet?". That picture looks as though it went straight from a photography studio in a local strip mall that recently went out of business to the doorstep of a fan who deserved whatever came his way after wasting his time pleading with a billionaire via penmanship. I'm sure it wasn't meant to be when it was originally mass-produced and put in the bottom drawer of his desk to collect dust while waiting for the desperate cries of those that want an autograph of an asshole, but that picture is still pure comedy. Whether Dan Snyder truly believes that his signed glamour shot is a worthwhile piece of memorabilia or if he has just enough of a sense of humor to lightly troll the fanbase he's spent the last two decades triggering, he just made me laugh. If I were as self-important as he appears to be then, considering his lack of NFL success, I'd encourage him to move that accomplishment up on his resume.
