2022 Road to the Draft – Part 6
February 23, 2021
By Noonefromtampa
The new week, same problems. The NFL has allegedly has nixed the idea of Washington using the Super Bowl Roman numerals on the crest instead of the incorrect years. Every move the team seems to make appears to lack any foresight, vetting or planning.
The other shoe to drop for the owners was the NFL appointing experienced federal prosecutor Mary Jo White to investigate the latest claims against Dan Snyder. White led the 2018 investigation into former Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson that led to Richardson selling the team.
The past two years has seen one turmoil after another on and off the field impacting the franchise. As fans, one ponders when the rain will stop falling on the team and the fans will see a sunny day again.
