In what is our first (and most likely our last) presentation of the award, the Iceman of the Week award goes to Raiders owner Al Davis for playing wingman to our boy Dan Snyder. Congratulations, fucker. Just when it looked like the Redskins coaching search was about to become the most embarrassing situation in the NFL, here comes grandpa Davis to take all the heat off of them (and take a serious run at Ralph Wilson as my least favorite owner).
I'm convinced Snyder has pictures of Davis in women's underwear. Seriously, there's no other explanation. Whoever could have foreseen that Al Davis would immediately regret hiring Lane Kiffin when it happened? Like, 90% of the population? 95%? Fun fact: If you take a 31 year-old guy with no NFL experience, and no head coaching experience at any level, and hand him the keys to a 2-14 team with a total of 3 talented players, you're not going to the playoffs. Who the hell knew?
Of course, as I was writing this, the Redskins hired an offensive coordinator without a head coach. So, nevermind. A little one-upsmanship? Touche, Dan. Touche.
