The NFL, and especially the Redskins, have strict rules about online video, and Dan Steinberg of the DC Sports Bog has been repeatedly stymied by those rules. So Steinberg got himself an interview with Redskins tight end Chris Cooley, and he did it in a place where the NFL has no authority -- Cooley's mom's house:

Cooley, whose own blog consistently provides a great perspective on life as an NFL player, talks about his football card collection, the differences between Joe Gibbs and Jim Zorn, and how teammate Jason Fabini got his feelings hurt by one of Steinberg's colleagues. And most of all, he shows that he's a free spirit who doesn't feel constrained by the strict rules of the NFL. Good for him.

Dan $nyder is a petty, little jerk. B/c his weak radio stations were getting killed in the ratings (1% of the audience), he bought the competiton to become the only sports station in DC. They want to censure and control the message and coverage. It's the communist sports station. B/c the Washington Post dare write critical things about the team, they never fail to try to stick it to them and those that work for the paper. He's a greedy, slimy, petulant tool.
