Have you heard about Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder? He's the worst. His overpaid teams don't win, he gouges fans at every opportunity, and he'll sue the alternative weekly paper that dares to point this out. On this last score, he also (maybe) enlisted Tom Cruise and the Simon Wiesenthal Center to scare off critics. Commenters Super Chundy and CygnusA81 mulled this last possibility, and in the process may have given Snyder grounds for another lawsuit.

Observed Super Chundy:

Dan Synder, owner of the Washington Redskins , is complaining that he was depicted in a defamatory manner? Oh, the irony.

CygnusA81 asked him if he realized what he'd done

Super Chundy,


You can't say R******s without paying Danny Boy a royalty check. So don't be surprised if you get a letter in mail from his attorney demanding compensation.

Hopefully they'll settle out of court. Thanks for reading, everyone. And be sure to check out Open Wire, where you can share links, feedback, and opinions on the stories you think we should be covering.
