This is unbelievable!!! MORE ON THE REDSKINS What really stinks is that and his staff,who work their guts out and are super smart,to give their overpaying fans the worst underachieving product the NFL Andre Carter interviews has to offer.. Wait a minute, Arizona and the Raiders are in competition.. I won't Chris Cooley's blog insult those franchises.... Phillip Daniels's blog You would think that Danny, who is a smart business man, would look at his DeAngelo Hall's blog business model and see that is has not worked since he purchased the franchise. Rocky McIntosh's blog Why not bring in a REAL GM, Lord knows he can afford it... 's blog Did you see that presser Joe had on Monday?? My God the man has no clue BGObsession what's going on!@#$%! I know where he wants to go and where he wants to be, BUT HE HAS NO CLUE HOW TO GET THERE!!!! He looks lost, confused, and has The Curly R no clue how to get himself out of here. If he can not see that are defense flat out ESPN's NFC East blog quit last week, he has lost ever ounce of respect from the fans and his competition. Hog Heaven He has no clue as to what he is anymore. One thing he is not...... HEAD COACH! @#$%! His personnel decisions have cost this franchise at least 3 to 4 years of Homer McFanboy what should amount to super competition with Arizona and the Raiders for the top Mister Irrelevant pick in the draft, unless he trades those picks as well as a few number two's. Joe, NFL Fanhouse Danny, and Vinny have become the leagues B-tches! The Om Field Joe give up the GM gig and reduce the number of chiefs in your tee pee and go Real Redskins back to what got you into the Hall of Fame... COACHING!!

Andyman -- Can you say a Redskin plan on ES to make the lemmings happy?

Posted by: DB | November 22, 2006 7:13 AM | Report abuse

Gibbs is team President, I believe Cerrato is player personnel. Which basically means, Danny's lap dog/racquetball buddy/ analyst needs to be fired.

Just look at how badly he and Snyder botched the 2000 draft and the restricted free agent episode of 2003. But as he told the fans bad in 2002 "Don't worry, we have a plan."

OK that just made me sick. I am with P nerds clowning us now. Damn that is really bad. This off season no high price FA. Coach Joe needs to b**ch slap double g and tell him to put Rock in and throw his ego and system out the window.

Check out the link. For those of you pessimists out there, this shows Gibbs "loyalty problem" has subsided at least somewhat: He is playing JC now despite....wait for it...a 0.05% chance of making the playoffs.

And here you negative-nellys kept complaining that Gibbs wouldn't make the switch until the Skins were commmmpletely out of it.... ! ! ! "#$%&%'!()*!    *% %+  " ,-$ .       /0 R    2 *   222  9 ( )

From his years in Washington and Houston, the intern program has produced more than 30 league executives, staff members and other significant positions in the sports world. In 1987 during the NFL players strike, Casserly put together the Redskins' "replacement" team that went 3-0 before the strike ended, including a Monday Night win against a Dallas team that featured a number of its star players. That experience was the subject of the Warner Bros. feature film, "The Replacements," that starred Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman.

Elevated to General Manager in 1989, Casserly sustained the Redskins' history of uncovering high-quality players in the later rounds of the draft. He used a fifth-round draft pick in 1990 to select Southwest Louisiana Brian Mitchell. Washington then converted Mitchell into a /kick returner, where he later joined as the only players in NFL history to lead the league in combined net yards four times. In 1996, Casserly plucked Auburn running back Stephen Davis in the fourth round. Davis paced the NFC in rushing in 1999 with 1,450 yards. Casserly also drafted future Pro Bowlers in wide receiver Keenan McCardell (12th round, 1991) and Frank Wycheck (sixth round, 1993). During the 1999 off-season, Casserly acquired veteran quarterback Brad Johnson who responded with a Pro Bowl season.

In 1999, Sports Illustrated, Pro Football Weekly, The Sporting News and USA Today named Casserly their NFL Executive of the Year at mid-season. On draft day in 1999, Casserly acquired all of the Saints 1999 selections, plus their first and third-round picks in 2000 by simply swapping the Redksins' fifth selection in the first round for the Saints' 12th choice. He still managed to obtain the player that Washington wanted, selecting future Pro Bowl . Log-in Forgot Log-in or Password? | Help Not a member, Register Now! In addition, Casserly has had extensive experience in radio and television for 17 years. While in Washington, he was a part of local television shows on WUSA (CBS), WJLA (ABC), WTTG (Fox) and HTS (Home Team Sports), as well as radio shows on WTOP and WJFK. In Houston, Casserly did four years of television on KTRK (ABC) and six years of radio on KILT. In the Fall of 1999, he reported three times per week on ESPN radio and was a contributor on ESPN's show, "Edge NFL Match-Up."

Casserly began his career as a assistant coach at Cathedral High School in Springfield, Massachusetts, from 1969-72 before moving to a similar post at his alma mater, Springfield (MA) College from 1973-74. He returned to Cathedral High School to serve as the school's athletic director for two years before becoming head football coach at Minnechaugh High School from 1975-76.

He holds a bachelor's degree in education and a master's degree in guidance from Springfield College, where he also played football. In May 2005, he received an honorary doctor degree in humanics from Springfield. Casserly is also a member of the Springfield College Sports Hall of Fame and Bergen Catholic High School Hall of Fame. This Fall he will again serve as Executive in Residence/Instructor of Sport Management in George Mason University's Sports Management Program and is an adjunct professor at 's McDonough School of Business.

A native of River Edge, N.J., Casserly and his wife of 29 years, Beverley, have a daughter, Shannon. The family resides in Washington, D.C.

Redskins fans aim vitriol at Daniel Snyder as team's heavy-handed tactics questioned

 A woman claimed a security guard stepped on her sign and then ripped it apart when she tried to take her banned message back to her vehicle.  A local TV station claimed Redskins officials wouldn't allow interviews with tailgating fans in the parking lots  Two fans wearing "Dumb" and "Dumber" shirts with photos of Snyder and VP Vinny Cerrato claimed security guards made them invert their shirts.  A fan claimed security guards and police ejected his group from the stadium after it chanted "We want Gruden" (in reference to ESPN analyst and former NFL coach ) and "Danny sucks" near the ESPN booth.  A man with a sign at his tailgate that said "Official Dan Snyder (stinks) tailgate" said security officials told him if Cerrato saw his group's sign they would lose their tickets and parking pass.  Several fans said security officials inside the stadium forced them to surrender their signs, even if their messages weren't offensive. (Steinberg uncovered some of the "offending" signs -- including one from a woman wishing her husband well in Afghanistan.)

VP Cerrato resigns, Allen hired to run 'Skins front office CBSSports.com staff and wire reports Dec. 17, 2009

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins overhauled their front office Thursday morning, hiring Bruce Allen as general manager after the resignation of Vinny Cerrato.

Allen becomes the first person hired by owner Dan Snyder to hold the general manager title, a notable milestone after a decade of various front- office arrangements that usually centered around Snyder and his good friend Cerrato.

Changes were needed for a team that is 4-9 this season, and Cerrato has been widely criticized for his roster decisions since getting the title of executive vice president of football operations two years ago.

Snyder is also expected to be hiring a new coach in a few weeks, and Allen could be the bridge to that change as well.

The son of legendary Redskins coach George Allen, Bruce Allen was the general manager for the for five seasons. He and Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden were fired in January, and the pair could renew their association if current coach is fired as the end of the season.

For players, the news was just the first of many anticipated changes.

"That's a start -- that's a change right there," cornerback Carlos Rogers said. "There's going to be change in personnel. There's going to be change all over. It'll probably be more changes coaching-wise, so I guess that's the first change right now. You never know what Mr. Snyder got up his sleeve. Personally, I'm worrying about me, and that's all I can worry about."

Tampa Bay won two division championships under Allen. He previously worked for nine years in the Oakland Raiders' front office.

"Bruce Allen is the personification of an NFL winner," Snyder said in a statement released by the team. "Our fans know his heritage; we know his abilities. He is the right person to lead our club."

The Redskins said Allen would begin work immediately. Opinion "This is an extraordinary opportunity with one of the world's most successful sports franchises," Pete Prisco Allen said. "I love everything about this assignment; I know what it means to be dedicated to the After news that Vinny Cerrato had Redskins. I can't wait to get to work." resigned comes news that he will be replaced by Bruce Allen. Huh? More Cerrato has been Snyder's right-hand for most of the last 10 years, but even their tight friendship couldn't overcome the team's recent struggles. Clark Judge Call Vinny Cerrato's resignation the final move by a good soldier. Another "We agreed that the franchise needs someone different in this position," Cerrato said in a separate season of 'Skins disarray couldn't fall statement released by the team. "I'm thankful to Dan Snyder and other members of his ownership on the man truly responsible: Dan team for the opportunities I've been given over the years. Of course, I am disappointed with this Sndyer. More year's results, but I strongly believe that with outstanding draft picks and encouraging performance by our younger players, we have laid a strong foundation for the franchise."

Cerrato added that he has "had the pleasure of working with some great coaches such as Joe Gibbs, Greg Blache and " -- notably leaving out Zorn.

Cerrato has been a favorite punching bag for fans in recent years, receiving criticism often in tandem with Snyder. One fan infamously used a pair of signs to refer to the pair as "Dumb" and "Dumber" at a game this season.

Cerrato was one of the first major hires after Snyder bought the Redskins in 1999. He was fired in 2001 by coach after Schottenheimer was given control of football operations. A year later, Snyder fired Schottenheimer and rehired Cerrato.

Although Cerrato's title changed over the years, he remained a significant front-office voice in player decisions. The results have been far from encouraging: The Redskins have won only one playoff game since 2000.

Cerrato's power within the organization increased after Gibbs' resignation two years ago, and there have been plenty of hits and misses among his player choices.

This year, Cerrato gave Zorn an offensive line without a single reserve who played in the NFL last year -- even though two starters were coming off significant injuries. Both of those starters soon were out for the season, and the resulting scramble for a starting five hampered the development of the offense.

"He is my friend, and he has always been there for me and the Redskins," Snyder said of Cerrato. "He's the consummate optimist and has always made decisions based on what would be the best for the team."

Letter Calling for NFL's Redskin owner to terminate current advertising relationship with Diageo

September 25, 2002

Mr. Daniel Snyder President The Washington Redskins 21300 Redskin Park Drive Ashburn, VA 20147

Dear Mr. Snyder:

As organizations concerned about the well-being of the children and youth of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, we want to express our disappointment with you and the Washington Redskins organization for selling advertising space for the promotion of hard liquor in Fed-Ex Field and during Redskin football telecasts. We respectfully ask that you terminate your current advertising relationship with Diageo immediately.

The Redskins’ unprecedented sponsorship deal opens the door to a deluge of hard-liquor promotion in professional sports and furthers the liquor industry’s aggressive efforts to reach millions of underage viewers in the powerful broadcast media. Airing ads for Smirnoff Ice and Captain Morgan’s Gold (malt-based beverages with liquor names and logos) during Redskin telecasts trumpets liquor brands and enables Diageo to sidestep the networks’ voluntary ban on hard liquor ads. Redskin games are watched by a large number of underage fans. These ads will become only the opening wedge of a new onslaught of hip, slick, appeals to try liquor brands. Although perhaps legally permissible, we firmly believe that it is wrong to expand alcohol marketers’ access to large audiences of young, impressionable children and teens.

Alcohol is the leading drug threat to young people in America, the one most likely to interfere with their education as well as put them at serious risk for injury and death. Thousands of young people under the age of 21 die of alcohol-related causes each year. Alcohol is a factor in the four leading causes of death among persons ages 10 to 24: (1) motor-vehicle crashes, (2) unintentional injuries, (3) homicide and (4) suicide; and underage drinking costs Americans $53 billion annually.

Studies suggest that attempts to prevent or delay drinking among young people should give attention to alcohol advertising. In particular, efforts should be made to reduce the extent to which it appeals to children and to reduce their exposure to it. Alcohol advertising may predispose young people to drinking. Children who were more aware of beer advertisements held more favorable beliefs about drinking and had more knowledge of beer brands and slogans. Most teenagers and adults feel that liquor advertisers want teens to view their TV ads, and a majority say TV advertisers are trying to influence teens to drink liquor.

Extensive alcohol advertising (more than $1.4 billion in 2001 and more than $450 million expected this year for "alcopops" alone) that glamorizes and normalizes alcohol consumption regularly reaches large numbers of underage persons. In fact, alcohol ads even after 9:00 PM may reach as many as 22 million adolescents 12-17 who watch TV at this time. Those messages exacerbate alcohol problems by encouraging young people to drink, ignoring most problems related to alcohol consumption, and developing expectations that drinking is an important, valued, fun, and anticipated young-adult behavior.

It is bad enough that beer commercials steadily inundate millions of underage viewers during NFL games. Opening the door to a new flood of liquor ads, enticing teens also to try liquor brands, may serve the Redskins’ bottom line but represents an affront to the Washington Metropolitan community. The Mission statement of the Washington Redskins Community Outreach admirably states:

"To be the voice that raises awareness of issues concerning youth in the region, and to utilize the unique assets of the Washington Redskins organization and its corporate and community partners to achieve measurable results that improve communities."

The Redskins’ liquor-advertising deal with Diageo directly counters this noble purpose and does a tremendous disservice to young football fans and the community. We are certain that many others in the community share our views.

We respectfully request that the Redskins organization immediately end its relationship with Diageo, refuse ads for liquor-branded products during Redskins telecasts, and remove any liquor-branded signage from Fed- Ex Field. We look forward to working with you and the Redskins organization to do what is best for the young people of the Washington area.

Sincerely,

George A. Hacker Director Alcohol Policies Project

Diageo has cut deals with two more National Football League teams, even as the spirits marketer's controversial sponsorship of the Washington Redskins comes under scrutiny from the NFL and two advocacy groups.

A Diageo spokesman said the company has pacts in place with the Dolphins and the New England Patriots, although they are of a smaller scope than the multiyear, multimillion-dollar deal it inked with the Redskins (AA, Sept. 9). The Dolphins and Patriots did not return calls.

Diageo's deal with the Redskins includes signage in FedEx Field for its hard-liquor brands, including Smirnoff vodka, though not its alternative malt brands such as Smirnoff Ice and Captain Morgan Gold. Anheuser-Busch SPECIAL REPORT Cos. is the team's exclusive malt-beverage sponsor.     "This levels the playing field. Beer, wine and spirits are the same," the Diageo spokesman said. "Approximately 25% of our signage within [FedEx Field] is dedicated to social responsibility, which is much higher than you see in other venues and on TV."

Still, the NFL is reviewing the agreement to see if it violates the spirit of its sponsor guidelines. League rules prohibit distilled-spirits companies, tobacco products, firearms, fireworks and lotteries from using the NFL shield, team names or logos to market their products. Diageo has not used any NFL or team logos in its in- stadium advertising.The shields will be used in social responsibility print and TV ads , and the company is developing public service announcements with retired Redskins, according to the spokesman.

Anheuser-Busch declined to comment, though it issued a statement: "Anheuser-Busch is the exclusive   sponsor of the Redskins for the malt beverage category, which includes flavored alcohol beverage products. Our agreement with the Redskins gives us exclusive rights among malt beverages for stadium signage and team logos."

One longtime Redskins watcher said the team is risking the wrath of A-B by taking on Diageo as a sponsor. "The Redskins are embarking on a strategy that is short-term gain for long-term pain," he said. uncertainty

Charlie Chan? Your grandfather? What kind of ridiculous stereotyping is this? Because, you know, shouting Asian guys are funny. It kind of reminds of that Hot Pockets Dojo campaign from last year. It also reminds me quite a bit of that Banzai show from a couple of years back, the one where the bald Asian dude had a similar schtick. And we all know how awesome that was. That's racist!

Mr. Mark Shapiro CEO Six Flags Corporate Offices 1540 Broadway New York, NY 10036

Dear Six Flags representatives,

The Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) is perturbed by the use of offensive Asian stereotypes in your latest television commercial. In the most recent Six Flags ad campaign, a disembodied Asian man yells the amusement park’s tagline, “More flags! More fun! Six Flags!” in a mock Asian accent.

Using such an outdated, debilitating stereotype only perpetuates the idea that Asians can’t speak English properly. Though we understand the commercial was made for the purpose of humor, there is nothing funny about resorting to degrading jokes that prey on others for a cheap laugh. Surely, there must have been a host of other ways to create a humorous television commercial that did not rely on offensive, outdated stereotypes.

According to those who went in for the original casting call, we also understand that Six Flags casting directors were specifically looking for an Asian man who could emulate Charlie Chan or who could “talk like [his] grandfather.” Veritably, many of us have grandfathers who were born here and speak with American accents.

The JACL urges you stop running this ad and to rethink future advertising campaigns. There is never a need to go in for a cheap laugh at the expense of others.

Sincerely,

William Yoshino Midwest Director Japanese American Citizens League

The Japanese American Citizens League, established in 1929, is the oldest Asian American civil rights organization in the United States. Our mission is to secure and maintain the human and civil rights of Americans of Japanese ancestry and others victimized by injustice. ! ! ! "#$%&%'!(()!

 LANDOVER, Md. (WUSA) -- A rough week for the Washington Redskins may get even rougher. A new YouTube video has surfaced showing beer vendors selling suds in a men's room at FedEx Field.

The video was posted to the "Redskins418" page on YouTube.com. It was first linked on the ExtremeSkins.com website by a user named "Graceland." The video shows vendors, in uniform, inside a men's bathroom, selling beer. The video was supposedly taken during the October 18th Advertisement loss to the .

"Graceland" told the Washington City Paper these sales have been going on since last year. "Graceland" even posted a story about it, trying to bring it to the attention of team owner Dan Snyder. At the time, FedEx Field management apologized to "Graceland," blaming beer vendors who were not following the rules.

Truth be told, I don't much care about the R#&$^%@s, or the NFL in general, for that matter. Search I'm more of a baseball guy and by the way, did you know that the Nats have now won 5 in a row? Now they are only 15 games back of the Mets! However, this blog has a long and illustrious history of hating the Redskins. R S S Of course, the way the team is run by owner Dan "DB" Snyder makes it easy to mock and criticize them. And I'm all about easy comedy, so let's take a look at what's in store for the fans Subscribe to RSS on FAN APPRECIATION DAY! By the way, thanks to Deadspin for pointing me towards this horrible mockery of fan appreciation.

So, FAD is scheduled for August 5th, the date of the first preseason scrimmage for the Racists, I mean Redskins. Preseason just screams "We appreciate our fans," doesn't it? And get this; Admission is free! (Parking is $25 for cars and $75 for RVs and no you can't park W E L C O M E anywhere but the FedEx field lot, why do you ask?) why.i.hate.dc is a sarcastic take

on the perils facing the District of Now that you're in the stadium (for free!) what is in store for you? Here is the schedule that is Columbia. This site is written by subject to change without notice. Dave Stroup.

 10:45 a.m.: Welcome announcement from Larry Michael - Uh, who? Oh, the radio guy. METRO SAFETY WATCH Okay.  10:50 a.m.: Performance by Redskins Marching Band - Sweet! Because if there's one thing about high school football that totally translates to the NFL, it's band geeks. Do all teams have marching bands, or is it just the ones with racist names? And will the band be dressed as "Redskins" for the performance?  11:05 a.m.: Performance by Redskins Cheerleaders - If they really appreciated the

fans, the cheerleaders would perform lapdances.

 11:20 a.m.: Vinny Cerrato addresses the fans - WhoTF? Number of days since the last  11:35 a.m.: Performance by Redskins Marching Band - Because 45 minutes is just fatality on Metrorail: 492 enough time to forget how trite a marching band is.  12 noon: Scrimmage begins - Finally. On January 26, 2010 Metro  2:00 p.m.: Scrimmage ends - Do they keep score during scrimmages? If so, my money employees Jeffrey Garrard and is on the Dodgers. Sung Oh were struck and killed  2:10 p.m.: Joe Gibbs addresses the fans - Um, I think this is supposed to read GOD by a piece of track equipment addresses the fans, right fans? near the Rockville station.  2:15 p.m.: addresses the fans - WHoTF? Metrorail deaths in 2010: 2

 2:20 p.m.: addresses the fans- WHoTF? Metrorail deaths in 2009: 11  2:25 p.m.: Performance by Redskins Cheerleaders - Encore!  2:40 p.m.: "Best Dressed" contests begin - This creeps me out. Here are the details: Excludes suicides and platform There will be five finalists for each of three categories: accidents

 Best Dressed football player, under 12: Everybody loves kids dressed for COMPLAINT BOX combat! Contact Us:  Best Dressed cheerleader, under 12: Because Dan Snyder enjoys the [email protected] sexification of pre-teens!

stwasm July-9th-2006 11:06 AM $25 Parking Fee for Fan Appreciation Day!

I don't know if you got the e-mail or not, but the Redskins sent me an invitation to the Redskins-Ravens scrimmage at FedEx Field on August 5, which includes this season's Fan Appreciation Day. While admission is free, the organization is charging $25 to park at the stadium! In all the fan appreciation day/draft day party events they've had, this is first time they're charging for parking. I think that's just outrageous. This is how they thank us for living through the Era, our season with Schottenheimer and all the glory that was ? I think that's outrageous!

Don't forget about the 30% season ticket price increase! "Mister" Snyder is pricing out a lot of his fans. Oh well, more power to those that want to pay those outrageous prices.

ksun247 July-9th-2006 11:32 AM Re: $25 Parking Fee for Fan Appreciation Day!

Not thrilled about the cost, but i'll be there. Down here in San Antonio, don't get to see the team up close, so i'll be happy to be there :D

well, last year tickets to the scrimmage were like 12 dollars a piece and it was up in bmore... I think this could end up cheaper...just take a group of 4 and you'll each end up paying a little over 6 bucks to park... half the price it would have cost to go to the scrimmage last year

Thanks again, Danny Boy

TheDoyler23 July-9th-2006 11:36 AM Re: $25 Parking Fee for Fan Appreciation Day!

Are ppl allowed to tailgate as if it were a real game? Much of the cost could be due to the cleanup involved...or to help pay for the other goodies. I kinda doubt that they're trying to turn a profit on it.

Who didn't make any money the last time when he charged for camp, either. The guy's got expenses putting on the game, he's cutting everyone a break compared to last year's $12 a head, and still everybody whines about him being a miser. Fuss about $7 beers and I'll fuss with you - even though that's pretty much the going rate these days, I don't have to like it. But you can pile seven guys into a minivan and all get in for $4 a pop, and Snyder is Simon McGreedy? :doh:

Im going to rent a short bus and pile in 44 people. $.57 apiece. HA! TAKE THAT DANNY! :laugh:

gray July-9th-2006 12:56 PM Re: $25 Parking Fee for Fan Appreciation Day!

Like it or not football is a business and the way Dan Snyder pays our players and coaches you would have to expect the prices that go along with this business. Even though it might seem extreme we didn't use to have a fan appreciation day !!!!! You got to take the good with the bad !!!!! If you don't agree with the price don't go or as others have said fill up a van and split the cost. Dan Snyder has had some bumps in the road but he cares about this team and wants to bring it back to the glory days !!! Just because he is a very smart business man and wants to make money you can't fault him. Oh in case anyone forgot I think he did pay $800 million for his favorite childhood football team !!!!!!

:rant: :applause:

He didn't make any money when he charged for camp because he didn't attract enough suckers to actually turn a profit. On fan appreciation day, you would expect to not be gauged for parking your freaking car. I'm sure he can make up whatever he loses on fan appreciation day during the season with the $6 hotdogs, $35 parking, and $110 lower bowl seat tickets.

Oh well, like I said earlier, if you want to pay outrageous prices like that, more power to you. This is capitalism and Snyder has every right to charge what he wants to charge. I also have every right to tell him to show his season tickets up his ass, which is what I did when I sent the Redskins an e-mail when they raised ticket prices again.

Unbelievable. Keep swinging that hammer, Bloggy, because this story really needs to get out. Can the Lower Potomac Indigenous Peoples management be any more dense?

Daniel Snyder's 8 Worst Redskin Contracts

Kevin Baumer and Dashiell Bennett | Nov. 15, 2010, 5:00 PM | 33,697 | 5   13    A A A

Donovan McNabb's five-year deal (with $40 million guaranteed) seems pretty crazy, until you remember that the man who gave it to him is Daniel Snyder.

The "generous" owner of the Redskins has made a habit of doling out bloated, long-term contacts to aging superstars — with a little help from his rotating cast of bumbling general managers — and usually getting a very poor ROI to boot.

However, when you pay $800 million for a football team, a few inflated salaries aren't going to keep you awake at night.

Genius Danny Snyder's Redskins have handled more stiffs than an undertaker.

Dexter Manley on Nov 15, 6:45 PM said: 3 0 @Mr. Perceptive: Archuleta has to be one of top three all-time clunkers. Lest we forget, there was also Dan Wilkinson, TJ Duckett, Sean Flag as Offensive Alexander, Jason Taylor, , , Ki-Jana Carter, Jessie Armstead, Tony Banks, Danny Wuerffel, Trung Candidate, and on and on it goes...

Perhaps Synder should take a page from his bald doppleganger, 'George Costanza' on "," where hapless George determines his judgment is for shit and decides to base all his subsequent decisions on the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he would regularly do. Were Synder to embrace this philosophy we would be in the Super Bpwl in no-time flat! Till then, we're doomed......

The Redskins officially began the McNabb era with a 59-28 drubbing at the hands or should we say paws of and the Philadelphia Flag as Offensive Eagles. Doesn't Maryland have something like a 72 hour that affects contracts?

  However, they're only willing to go so far and it doesn't appear that the Giants will do for Spagnuolo what the Dallas ! '(" '  "   Cowboys did last month for offensive coordinator Jason Garrett. To prevent Garrett from leaving for either the Atlanta  ")*** Falcons or , the Cowboys gave him a new contract reportedly worth $3 million per season.

Still, the Giants are hoping a sizeable, yet reasonable raise might be enough to convince Spagnuolo to avoid what ! )  "   ")) +'  several members of the organization have advised him is a messy situation with a meddling owner in Dan Snyder who    already has hired two assistants - new offensive coordinator Jim Zorn and promoted defensive coordinator Greg Blache.

Spagnuolo appears to be one of four finalists for the job, joining ex-Giants coach Jim Fassel, ex-49ers and Lions   coach and Colts defensive coordinator Ron Meeks. Fassel is believed to be the favorite.

It seems clear, though, that Snyder is taking a serious look at Spagnuolo. The two first talked Monday night, after the Giants granted permission for the Redskins to talk to him. After that, Snyder laid out the red carpet, flying Spagnuolo to Washington on his private jet after the Giants' ticker-tape parade in Manhattan and victory celebration at . Spagnuolo met with Snyder and Redskins officials Tuesday night, before several more hours of meetings and interviews that lasted into the evening yesterday. Snyder even let Spagnuolo stay overnight Tuesday in the guest house at his estate.

Steelers owner Dan Rooney walked the sidelines during the practice and stopped to talk with the media. He was asked if he Find more stories about could recall any NFL owner firing as many employees as Snyder did during a two- week period.  Redskins "I would probably have to say no,'' Rooney said with a smile. "He has a job to do and hopefully he's doing what he thinks he  Dan Snyder needs to do. Hopefully it works out for him.'' NO ALARM BELLS. Snyder Communications, Snyder's parent company, is going through some rough financial times these days. Its stock, which was initially offered at $17 per share three years ago, dropped 25 percent last Friday, another 6 percent earlier this week, and currently stands at a 52-week low of $17.94. Despite the dramatic drop, a company spokesman said it will have no effect on Snyder's ownership of the football team, which he purchased for $800 million last month. Snyder, who owns more than 10 million shares in the company, financed the Redskins by using cash reserves and holdings in other companies. TEAM PLAYER. Cornerback Darryl Pounds, who has waited nearly four years to become a starter, realizes it is not going to happen anytime soon. First-round draft pick Champ Bailey has already won one of the two starting positions, and 39-year old still isn't showing his age at the other spot. "I want what's best for the team,'' Pounds said. "I don't want to play on a losing team, so if Champ makes us better, that's a great thing. The more games we win, the better we all look. "When I came here in 1995, Darrell was 35. I figured he would retire in two years and I would be starting, but he's still going strong at 39. He's amazing.'' ONE PER YEAR. Free agent strong safety Sam Shade, who started for Cincinnati last year, will be the seventh starter for the Redskins at that position in seven years. He follows (1993), Martin Bayless ('94), James Washington ('95), Darryl Morrison ('96), Jesse Campbell ('97) and Leomont Evans ('98). Evans will start at free safety this season. "We looked at a lot of safeties before we signed Sam,'' coach Norv Turner said. "He's a big hitter, an outstanding tackler, and we're really excited about him. You'd like to think with Sam being as young as he is (25) that we've found our strong safety for a while.'' QUICK KICKS. Dan Wilkinson (ankle sprain) and reserve Twan Russell (mild concussion) did not practice against the Steelers but could be back on the field today. ... The two teams will meet in a scrimmage Saturday in Frostburg and hold another joint practice next Tuesday at the Steelers' training camp in Latrobe, Pa. - Warner Hessler can be reached at 247-4648 or by e-mail at [email protected]

 Redskins Fan Jurgensen and Huff will remain on the radio team and will be joined by Larry Michael, who had previously done pre-game and post-game shows for the station.

FEATURED ARTICLES The move has made it an odd summer for Herzog, who was at Redskins Park yesterday watching training camp. He plans to provide the call for a preseason telecast on Aug. 21, but after that his broadcast future is uncertain. His contract with WUSA Stover kicks Browns past expires at the end of November, and the station has said it is not renewing the pact. Redskins, 24-21, in overtime... One of the only upsides to being fired is Herzog says he gets to hear how much fans appreciate him.

"I told my wife if I 49ers slide past Redskins would have known it would have been this great, I'd have gotten fired three years ago." San Francisco sends champs... His signature call was ", Washington Redskins!" January 10, 1993 "I think it was in the second year I started to do that," he said. "I figured that getting into the was a team effort."

March 23, 1994 "I never walked away happy just because the Redskins won," Herzog said. "I walked away happy when we had a good broadcast. I think we built a reputation as a [no-nonsense] group." POPULAR TOPICS Fans often said they enjoyed the trio's casual repartee, which sounded like the banter of the old friends that they are.  Preakness Picks "It was a good chemical mixture, and good chemistry is hard to find," said Redskins fan Don Soules of Fairfax, Va. "I would  May 21st always watch the TV and listen to the radio."  Gall Bladder NOTES: NFL officials briefed Redskins coaches, players and the media Sunday and yesterday on rules changes for the coming  Lyme Disease season. The league is cracking down on choreographed end zone celebrations of two or more players, and is emphasizing the  Ty Hobson Powell rule against impeding a receiver more than 5 yards downfield. "I think a lot of the changes would be to have a more exciting  Arnold Schwarzenegger game, so if it's too defensive-sided that's not an exciting game," referee said in an interview after the briefings. ...  May 21 The team's new media guide might have been expected to feature Gibbs, who is returning after 12 years. But team officials said the coach doesn't want his likeness adorning much merchandise, so the guide's cover depicts only the Redskins logo on a  Preakness pigskin-looking background.

HEADLINE: Six Flags wants out, offers the city a deal; Park would give up 66 acres, $10 million to get out of lease

BYLINE: By Rebecca Mowbray, Business writer

BODY:

The company that owns Six Flags New Orleans does not want to reopen the flood-ravaged eastern New Orleans theme park, and has sent a proposal to the city that would allow the amusement company to walk away from its 75-year lease, according to documents.

Six Flags Inc. has offered to pay the city $10 million to cover rent to the city and to give the city 66 acres of land the company owns adjacent to the park as well as city 20 percent of its insurance proceeds above $75 million. It is unclear how much insurance money the park will receive. The amusement park has been closed since .

News of the proposal marks a change from Six Flags' public stance so far. Until this disclosure, the company said the park would be closed for the 2006 season but it hoped to reopen the property and was working with its insurers. The company now says it wouldn't make sense to open the park, which was not successful even when the city had nearly a half-million residents.

"It's clear that the people of New Orleans weren't embracing the park" even before the storm, Six Flags spokeswoman Wendy Goldberg said. "We think it presents a mutually beneficial solution to both of us. We thought it was a win-win. The city would get land it could use for other purposes, as well as liquidity."

But Mayor Ray Nagin says that the city plans to hold the New York company to its agreement to operate the park.

"They're not excited about coming back into the market right now. If any company is trying to figure out an exit strategy, they are," Nagin said this week in an interview at The Times-Picayune. "We have a pretty solid agreement with them (requiring them to operate the park for 75 years). They're claiming they can exercise out of it, but they're going to have to pay us."

The storm, and any efforts by Six Flags to leave the area, are likely a death knell for the park, which opened in May 2000 as an economic development project for eastern New Orleans. Jazzland Theme Park, as it was originally named, went bankrupt after just two seasons.

Six Flags bought the $135 million park at the discount price of $22 million out of bankruptcy, but even after the company installed five new rides backed by a major advertising push, the park failed to deliver financial results.

While Six Flags refuses to detail the damage at the park, its rides and buildings sat for weeks in an estimated 12 feet of brackish water and the park is on the side of the city that suffered the greatest wind damage. The park now sits idle, overgrown with brush, while a security guard watches the gate.

"We haven't gone into detail about the damage, just that we are working on it with our insurers," Goldberg said. "It's a very complicated situation."

The prospects of resurrecting the park are further dimmed by a shakeup at Six Flags' corporate offices, where Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder instituted a shareholder takeover of the company late last year and installed a new management team, whose marching orders are to pare down assets to deliver better returns to stockholders.

"They'd be absolutely out of their minds to try to reopen that park," said Dennis Speigel, president of International Theme Park Services, a consultant who has followed the Jazzland saga and the corporate troubles at Six Flags. "That has been a marginally performing park since day one."

Financial woes

If the park closes, it will be a headache for the city, which is on the hook for the $20.4 million that remains on a $25.3 million loan used to build the park through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Section 108 loan program.

The payments on the loan are $2.4 million a year until 2017. Under the terms of the deal struck with the city out of Jazzland's bankruptcy, the city pays $1 million a year toward the debt and Six Flags pays $1.4 million. HUD said the city is current on its payments. Six Flags said it has continued to pay rent since the storm.

The rent arrangement is actually that Six Flags pays 4.77 percent of gross revenue or a minimum of $1.4 million, and if the percentage formula delivers a number that is less than $1.4 million, Six Flags gets a credit of the difference on rent in the years after 2017.

In its proposal, Six Flags said the city would be unlikely to earn any rent on the project even after 2017, when the HUD debt is paid.

In each of the three years that Six Flags operated the park before it closed, revenue was less than $29.4 million -- the amount necessary for the percentage formula to exceed the $1.4 million base payment.

The park generated $24.5 million in revenue in 2003, the year that Six Flags installed $25 million in new rides and heavily advertised their arrival. It generated $18.1 million in 2004 and $15 million last year, when the season ended in late August instead of at Halloween.

With the prospect of revenue even worse for the park now that it's located in a flooded and gutted area in a city with half its prestorm population, it's unlikely the Six Flags would ever pay rent on the park.

"Put simply, the marketplace has never embraced the park. There are a number of factors contributing to this situation, all of which have been exacerbated by the displacement and damage of the storm, which impacted not just the park, but the entire market area of the park," the proposal reads. "Given this performance, there would almost certainly never be any rent paid for many years after 2017."

! ! ! "#$%&%'!()*! Washington Redskins By the Numbers: #14 - Brad Johnson (Interview with Max Zendejas) by Ken Meringolo on Jun 1, 2009 3:10 PM EDT in Redskins By The (Jersey) Numbers  17 COMMENTS EMAIL PRINT 0

It is at least a little fitting that we get to #14 on the heels of the departure of . It gives us a chance to talk about how this franchise has handled the jettisoning of players over the years.

Jon Jansen's dismissal continues to be a big story because, prior to his release, he was the longest tenured Redskin on the roster (can you name the player who takes over that honor?) I don't know about you but since the news broke on Friday, I have not come across too many people who are beside themselves in shock. The timing of the move is what ends up dominating the debate. It did seem at least slightly odd--middle of a Friday afternoon, before June 1st. But if the team was serious about moving on without Jon Jansen, and they were genuine about Jansen having a chance to make it somewhere else, you could make the case it made sense. After all, it only took him a day to find a home right? He was able to beat all the guys (assuming there will be a few) who are about to hit the street this week. Don't get me wrong--I am sure that the team did not unnecessarily imperil its own situation to help Jon. But clearly Jansen will have his opportunity to spend a whole summer with his new team in the hopes he can crack the lineup.

Secondly, this move says a ton about Jim Zorn, and the responsibility and authority he clearly has in this organization. While making the call to cut Jansen was probably not the most difficult decision he ever faced, I have to believe there were people in the organization that were prepared to fight for Jansen to have a chance to show himself in camp. Bugel comes to mind. I could be wrong. Everything coming out of Zorn since Friday has been all about his evaluation process and the reality that Jansen simply was not wanted in the "competitive" phase of determining who the right tackle was going to be. I take that to mean that Zorn felt Jansen was not in line to compete for the starting tackle spot, and the depth chart at other positions were and needed to be manned by younger players.

So why have I hijacked the #14 post? Because today's #14 made an exit from D.C. that was handled in a completely absurd and utterly senseless way. And I thought it worth mentioning that in light of the way things are being handled lately, there is a sense of direction that seemed lacking in recent years.

#14

Brad Johnson

We let Brad Johnson escape to Tampa Bay...so that could start. Think about that. He was 2 years removed from 4,005 yards passing, 24 TDs, 13 INTs and a playoff win. The next year the team suffered a setback to be certain. An 8-8 record, and more INTs than TDs. We all remember when Brad left town right? Jeff George ended up getting benched and we went with Tony Banks! Brad Johnson went to Tampa Bay and got a Super Bowl ring.

I know there were salary cap issues, and if I remember correctly, Brad Johnson was pretty fed up with the Redskins' organization. This was right at the height of the insanity that was the Redskins franchise (though one could argue that this peak lasted for several years.)

Does anyone remember Brad Johnson flexing on the Jumbotron in the playoff win against the (is there a better feeling in the world than playing Detroit in the playoffs for a Skins fan?).

What about the year he came back to town starting for the Vikings...a game which I believe they won in OT? I never saw it myself, but it was rumored that Brad wore his Redskins jersey as he left the stadium that night.

We do have some other notable #14's. Eddie LeBaron was drafted by the Skins in the 1950 NFL draft and played seven seasons (off and on) before becoming a footnote in the great history of the Redskins/Cowgirls rivalry. had forgotten to protect his Pro Bowl QB in the expansion draft and the Cowgirls took him. Inconceivable!

Finally, as you all know, we do our best to reach out to former Redskins who have worn these numbers and bring you some hard-hitting interviews. That legacy continues today with our recent sit-down with none other than #14 himself, Max Zendejas:

Sugar: Max, thanks for sharing your time with us. Let's get right to it...what stands out about that 1986 team you played on here in DC?

Max: Well you take the good with the bad. Replacing a guy like is tough, but you do your best. That team was full of winners, and it was a winning team. I recently ran into at a golf tourney out in Virgina.

[kind of an odd answer to the question...or not really an answer at all]

Sugar: Are there any stories that stand out to you from that year?

Max: Well I remember playing Green Bay and it was so cold. I said after that game that no matter what they paid me, I would never play in Green Bay. The next year, I was playing in Green Bay.

Sugar: I recently had the opportunity to speak with Ali Haji-Sheikh and I asked him about the burgeoning problem the NFL is dealing with.

Max: What's that?

Sugar: I can pronounce pretty much every kicker's name in the league, and I could probably spell 90% of them correctly on my first try. What happened to your once proud profession?

Max: (laughs) Haji-Sheikh...hehehe. Well, you know what is happening is that kids want to kick now. I run a camp for kids ( ) and I am seeing just some incredibly talented athletes pursuing kicking. Back in my day, we were kind of flaky, hippie guys. Now, kids want to kick the game-winning field goal, and they are going after it.

Sugar: Who was your favorite guy on the roster of that Redskins team?

Max: You know, that roster was jammed with good guys. I loved Dexter Manley, , Gary Clark. I was very close with (WR). Other guys who made an impression on me were Charles Mann and Darrell Green, both very religious guys, both always doing everything they could to help out a teammate.

Sugar: What are your thoughts on the current Redskins team?

Max: I do pay attention. The thing about the Redskins when I played there...they were used to winning. They were all winners. Those guys in the that locker room simply went after wins like you wouldn't believe. Coach Gibbs, the hardcore fans. You did your job and all those fans waited for you after the game to congratulate you and get your autograph. I wish I had stayed there longer.

Sugar: Last question: Who was the best Zendejas?

Max: (laughs) Well you know we were all different. Tony played the longest, working his way through the CFL, the Arena League and of course the NFL. Luis was just a fighter. We were very competitive with each other. We would compete against each other constantly, with the loser having to buy hamburgers. I was the only one of us who was drafted and I had the strongest leg.

So there you have it. "The Greatest Zendejas"...keep your eyes peeled for the major motion picture.

Haha I will never be able to get that image out of my mind where some DE facemasked him and his helmet was turned completely sideways. I cant find the pic anywhere. by Kevin Ewoldt on Jun 1, 2009 3:28 PM EDT up

And... Brad Johnson is the only QB in NFL history to throw a TD to himself.

He was a Viking then. by Kevin Ewoldt on Jun 1, 2009 3:30 PM EDT is this real? did we really interview Zendejas? by Ken Meringolo on Jun 1, 2009 4:54 PM EDT

Haha Yea, a guy that has only made 1 career NFL kick over 50 yards you’d think would never return a call or answer his cell. by Kevin Ewoldt on Jun 1, 2009 5:06 PM EDT up

Jersey what would you rather be your tailgate jersey for the upcoming season…Redskins Zendejas or redskins Akers jersey? by Kevin Ewoldt on Jun 1, 2009 5:10 PM EDT up

3-3 though in the stand-up dude department Haji-Sheikh, Husak, and Zendejas have all been extremely cool and fun to talk to. by Ken Meringolo on Jun 1, 2009 5:13 PM EDT up

Brad I was at that playoff game and it was awesome how the stadium erupted when Brad Johnson body slammed that d-lineman. I was so bummed that he was let go. Norv finally had someone to run his offense in Johnson (took him long enough). We had an amazing team with Stephen Davis and Larry Centers (man I loved that guy). So much potential cut short… Great post, love this blog. by mattfromwashingtonsportsjam on Jun 1, 2009 5:58 PM EDT

Larry Centers was definitely fantastic. Thanks for the love and welcome to HH. by Kevin Ewoldt on Jun 1, 2009 6:30 PM EDT up

Max Zendejas was probably the worst kicker in Redskins’ history.

"Sure it’d be great to be playing with 10 good fingers, but 8 will do just fine." – Jon Jansen by VA_Skin on Jun 1, 2009 5:58 PM EDT

besides Suisham… by smutsboy1 on Jun 2, 2009 1:48 PM EDT up

Maybe One thing I hate about Suisham is when he misses critical (sometimes easier) FGs during the game, only to redeem himself at the very end of the game. Of course, we would never have needed that last FG if he didn’t miss the 2-3 during the game. He does just enough to keep his job, but not enough to be dependable. I don’t know if my guts can take another season of his inconsistency.

"Sure it’d be great to be playing with 10 good fingers, but 8 will do just fine." – Jon Jansen by VA_Skin on Jun 2, 2009 2:13 PM EDT up

Eddie LeBaron is the shortest QB ever to make the Pro Bowl (1955) at only 5’7".

"Sure it’d be great to be playing with 10 good fingers, but 8 will do just fine." – Jon Jansen by VA_Skin on Jun 1, 2009 6:01 PM EDT

Thanks for the look back.

If you need a spelling challenge, start doing hockey posts. by SkinsCapsTerps on Jun 1, 2009 8:09 PM EDT

Good choice Great post and it’s right on the money. Brad Johnson has always been ignored because he didn’t have the biggest arm but with a decent team he performed very well. I’d rather have a smart QB like him than someone who doesn’t make good decisions but has a great arm like Jeff George. I hope you’re right about the organization having a direction because all the silly off season moves that have occurred since 1992 drive me crazy. I also hope Jansen has some success in Detroit, not too much mind you, but some. by ZakInOmaha on Jun 2, 2009 8:23 AM EDT is the longest tenured redskin now i believe.. by travisjh86 on Jun 2, 2009 10:52 AM EDT

HEADLINE: Dividend Rock: Firms Reward Buyout Bosses

BYLINE: By Carrick Mollenkamp, Gregory Zuckerman and Laura Saunders

BODY:

Private-equity firms are on pace to suck a record amount of cash out of the companies they own, responding to a robust borrowing market and a possible dividend-tax increase in 2011. But some investors are beginning to question whether the frenzy has gone too far.

So far in October, private-equity owned companies paid out nearly $1.7 billion in dividends while adding about $4.6 billion of new debt, according to Standard & Poor's LCD. That is on pace to top the $2.3 billion monthly record in April 2007. This month's activity comes on the heels of nearly $2 billion of such dividends in each of the last two months, S&P LCD said.

More deals are on the way. Thursday, Veritas Capital and a group of investors are expected to begin marketing a $600 million debt deal for a company they control called Global Tel-Link that is expected to include a $173 million dividend to Veritas and other investors, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc., according to people familiar with the deal.

The deals are being met with skepticism by some investors who contend borrowing to pay investor dividends can weaken companies long-term.

In a sign of pushback, nylon producer Ascend Performance Materials on Wednesday shelved plans for a financing that would have supported a $922 million payment to private-equity owner SK Capital. Credit-ratings firms had noted that the company was struggling until 16 months ago, when SK Capital began a turnaround of the firm after buying it for $40 million. Page 2 Dividend Rock: Firms Reward Buyout Bosses The Wall Street Journal October 14, 2010 Thursday

SK's co-founder, Barry Siadat, said more than enough investors were willing to buy $500 million of Ascend's new debt, which would have given his firm a dividend of that size, but the interest rate they demanded was more than he thought reasonable.

Separately, Moody's Investors Service on Wednesday issued a report saying credit quality of U.S. companies "could be nearing a peak." In an interview, Moody's managing director Mark Gray cited the rise in dividend deals as among the reasons for concern.

While investors' appetite has raised demand for the deals, some have shied from them. "We are philosophically opposed to dividend deals because issuers are borrowing money to generate a return to shareholders without enhancing cash flow to service their debt," said Mark Shenkman, a veteran junk-bond investor and president of Shenkman Capital Management in New York.

For their part, private-equity pros say cash-flow levels are on the rise for their companies, making it less risky for them to make big dividend payments.

One driver behind the current deals, said Standard & Poor's, tax experts and some private-equity executives, is the threat of higher dividend taxes next year. The Bush administration's tax cuts in 2003 decreased the top rate on "qualified" dividends -- largely those held longer than 60 days -- to 15%. But that tax treatment could expire in December.

A tax change could be pushed off, as there is increasing sentiment for extending the Bush-era tax cuts by a year or two. But when lawmakers reconvene on Nov. 15, they also could choose to enact President Obama's proposal that the tax break only be extended for couples making less than $250,000. In that scenario, the top rate on dividends could rise by a third to 20% next year.

Whatever the case, "it's clear that dividend rates will never be lower, so these investors are cashing in some holdings," said Robert Willens, an independent tax expert.

The private-equity dividends are causing a divide on Wall Street when it comes to payouts to investors. Unlike the private-equity-controlled companies, cash-rich, publicly traded companies are, for the most part, holding back on dividends.

"Private-equity funds are much more sensitive to taxes than public companies, pension funds, or mutual funds, because their performance is measured after tax," Mr. Willens said.

Fund-raising done at least partly to pay dividends represents 8.7% of the total amount of leveraged lending and junk-bond issuance this year, said S&P. Questions about dividends come on the heels of other worries that the junk market could become overheated as investors such as mutual funds, money managers and insurance firm hunt for hard-to-find returns.

Dividend supporters say that debt sold between 2003 and 2007 to back dividend payments for private-equity firms and others defaulted at an annual rate of 5.9%, compared with 7.4% of debt of companies being acquired in leveraged buyouts, according to S&P.

In August, Dick Clark Productions, which produces television shows such as "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" sold $165 million in notes in a deal that originally was supposed to be $150 million. Of that, the company will pay $105 million to shareholders including Six Flags Inc. and private-equity firm RedZone Capital Management LLC, whose chief is Daniel Snyder, owner of the Washington Redskins football team.

Moody's Investors Service gave the notes a B2 "junk" rating and noted the company's reliance on three annual television shows, including the American Music Awards, plus the New Year's Eve special and the reality show "So You Think You Can Dance." Norman Chirite, managing director at RedZone, said it was a "solid rating" and said the potential tax change wasn't factor. "It was just the right time," Mr. Chirite said, noting what he said were Dick Clark's solid lineup of shows.

A Six Flags spokeswoman confirmed the transaction, as did a spokeswoman for Dick Clark Productions.

In July, New York cable operator Insight Communications sold $400 million in debt to finance a $300 million dividend to private-equity firm Carlyle Group LP and other shareholders. About $100 million is being used to refinance debt, according to Moody's, which gave the debt a B3 junk rating and noted that the company has "high financial leverage."

A spokeswoman for Insight, which operates cable systems in Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana, confirmed the transaction. A Carlyle spokesperson said Insight still has low debt levels for a cable company, and that it is only Carlyle's second U.S. dividend deal in the past year.

As for the deal Veritas is seeking for Global Tel-Link, which provides phone service to prisoners, it is expected to leave the company with debt that is a substantial five times its cash flow. Veritas, which invested about $70 million when it bought Global Tel-Link last year, is expected to receive about $80 million of that $170 million, according to people familiar with the matter, who note that the business has a relatively stable cash flow.
