Washington D coordinator wants fans to stop bashing Daniel Snyder. Hey, good luck with that!

A guess: this will only make fans more mad!

Sure Daniel Snyder turned a once-proud NFL franchise into a laughingstock while treating fans shabbily along the way. (Drew link ... earmuffs). But he isn't such a bad guy! From the AP:

Greg Blache is fed up with criticism of Dan Snyder. The Washington Redskins defensive coordinator broke his media silence Thursday to launch a vigorous defense of the team owner, saying "Enough's enough." Blache said he was moved to speak after reading comments made by Hall of Fame running back John Riggins. In an interview on Showtime's "Inside the NFL," Riggins said Snyder is a "bad guy" and that the owner's "heart is dark." Blache described Snyder as "one of the most generous, kind individuals you could ever meet" and that people outside of the organization don't get a chance to know the owner. Blache declined to take questions.

Man, we can't wait to see how fans react to this. Though we can only wonder if Snyder directly typed those quotes for Blache or merely suggested a general tone.
