Probably for the best you didn't bring up Chad if that's the way you were going to phrase it. Maybe, to try and be polite, you say, "Mrs. Dukes, I have certain philosophical differences with your son. Like, I would appreciate it if radio personalities paid to talk about sports knew something about the sports, and did some research rather than slurping their over-hyped, over-rated, completely irrelevant to football and Redskins history co-host." Or would that be too far also?

And the fact that when he took over, the 'Skins were in the least competitive position as any team in any sport:
1. They had a HUGE cap problem due to years of deferring costs to the future.
2. They were old and had no talent.
3. The coaching the previous 2 years had made whatever talent was on the team dumber
4. The team had lost the confidence of one of the most loyal fan bases around.
5. There was no answer at QB, the most important position on the field.
6. There was less than zero depth.
7. There was no discipline.
8. The team hadn't won anything substantial in 20 years.
9. Crappy stadium with no home field advantage.
10. An owner makes all the final personnel calls. (Which was true until the day Shanahan was hired.)
In 3 years, Shanahan had to completely re-invent everything on the team from scratch. Which he did. We now have some depth on offense, a few play-makers, and some pretty good talent and some depth at certain spots on defense. However, there are a few huge holes left to fill. Work in progress.
I don't see Shanahan deserving to be fired this year no matter what.
Now, if they go 6-10 next year and the defense is putrid, then you have to give Pat Bowen his due for understanding Shanahan's inability to put together a full football team.

I'm sure "Var" knew that ... he's funny though. Got to love Lavar man ... I wish we could hear more nitty gritty on his NFL days, the stuff these other fools only speculate on.
