Dan Snyder '(Bleeping) Hates' Commanders Success

A new ESPN story says Snyder - through sources - isn't happy that his former franchise has been resurrected by new owner Josh Harris and has been led by coach Dan Quinn and rookie sensation Jayden Daniels to one step from the Super Bowl.

One source who described Snyder's feelings through a friend that had dinner with Snyder during the season in London came back stateside with a clear message:

"He (bleeping) hates it," Snyder's dinner companion told the colleague.

This, of course, isn't surprising. Snyder was nothing if not vindictive when he owned Washington's football team. He refused to comply with public requests to change the name, violated multiple league rules both written and unwritten, and fostered a hostile and inappropriate work environment for which the NFL fined him and finally pressured him to sell.

According to ESPN, Snyder strategically established $6 billion as the sale price thinking no one would be willing to meet that price. But then arose Harris and 20 minority partners, including basketball legend Magic Johnson.

Despite calls from people around the league, Snyder reportedly refused to let the sale proceed even though a rally to celebrate Harris' new ownership was scheduled for the next day. He refused to turn over the keys to FedEx Field, saying "it would be trespassing if anyone goes there" because "it's still mine!"

Gibbs, turns out, was key in convincing Snyder to finally sell and allow a peaceful transfer of power.

"We don't get the Commanders if not for Joe Gibbs," Tad Brown, a CEO for Harris' business, said privately, according to ESPN.

After owning the Commanders for eight years, Snyder now lives in London.
