My dream came true tonight. Met and talked with all the top brass of the Redskins (Thread Includes Pics--MET)

This is one of the greatest stories/threads I have seen in the time I've been here. What an unbelievable experience (at first literally). That must've really been something.

I have to agree with the guy who said Snyder is coming off more personable. I think in general I have warmed up to Snyder since Shanahan came around.

Looks like Dan's gained a bit of weight. In all seriousness, is it possible for the Colts to negotiate with, and sign, Luck (assuming they want him) immediately, and thus allow us to do the same ASAP thereafter with Griffin?

Nope. Colts can negotiate, but only the Colts. Even if they sign Luck, we can't do anything till the draft.

Sorry to put you guys through my own personal "picture-gate". Needless to say my big sis is going to get a nice gift real soon!
I'm telling you they were having an absolute blast in that room. I wish I could have recognized everyone in that room but my head was spinning!
It's a delicate balance trying to be cool and not feel like you are bothering them. I would like to think I did a good job looking back on it. It probably helped that I may have been the only Redskins fan they encountered the whole night.
Bruce was very personable.....my sister even mentioned he made her want to root for the Redskins and she is a die hard Cowboys fan!


I should have been in bed 2 hours ago....I am wide freaking awake!

Love this thread!!! Thanks for sharing LSSF!

If it hasn't been said enough, thank goodness for Bruce Allen. He might be the biggest driving force towards restoring our name as a respected, professional franchise. Ultimately it will take wins on the field, but at some point the media will have to stop talking about Snyder because with every passing day it is becoming more and more clear that this is BA show.

Man, I am so envious right now. I would have been as giddy as a schoolgirl at a Bieber concert.

Glad you were able to get the pics up man... That is an awesome experience and I'm sure every member here is very jealous of you tonight haha.

I don't think I've heard a negative thing about Bruce since he got here.. Seems like a great guy and definitely what we needed after the V-word (don't want to ruin anyone's night by saying the name)

Shhhh! That's not allowed! And since it's not allowed, and since this is the official message board of the Washington Redskins, John Mara and his goon squad are most likely reading all of our posts. If they read a fan saying we should sign RG3 after the Colts sign Luck, they'll probably try to take our pick and take another 10 mil off of our cap.

Nope. Only the first overall pick can sign early. It's kind of a silly rule, but without it there probably wouldn't be a draft day event.

By the way, the thing I love most about this story is that it confirms we'll be picking RG3 and not Luck. Our front office guys must have been in contact with the Colts at some point and got a strong indication of which QB they're going to take. I'd be happy with either QB, but it's nice knowing more or less for sure who the face of the franchise is going to be.

Awesome. Pretty darn cool

Great thread! Really enjoyed the story and was excited to see the thread come alive again. Go Skins! Good lord am I excited for the draft.

While it more than likely does suggest that, I wouldn't put anything past Irsay. Even though it makes no difference if he's lying or telling the truth (if we've talked to him at all), my guess is that they're just playing the odds.

After hearing all this, I bet RGIII is gonna be pissed if he is picked by the Colts at this point. Hopefully he pulls an Eli in that case and we can have both Luck and RGIII, give the Colts our other RGIII (rex) and some $$$ and laugh at them repeatedly.
