The Washington Redskins are not exactly where they want to be as a franchise. They struggled on the field last season, and the coach and GM may be saddled with a franchise quarterback that they do not want. And to top it all off, they have one of the most reviled owners in the National Football League.

Snyder is once again undertaking some dubious tactics to try and exert every last ounce of power that he can, according to Deadspin. A new show was set to debut on ESPN-980 (also known as Sportstalk-980), but it has been canceled without ever hitting the air because of the host's anti-Snyder feelings.
The show was to be called The Man Cave, and it was to be hosted by Jason Reid, a former beat writer and then columnist for The Washington Post that occasionally criticized Washington and its management. Reid had quit his job at the paper to host the radio show, only to have the rug pulled out from under him.

Reports indicate that Snyder found out Reid was hosting at the last minute, which is why he pulled the plug on the show.
"Jason Reid has been disliked by [team] management and Dan for years, ever since he was a beat reporter," says a former Snyder employee. "For the radio guys to go down that path and try to hire him is bold, no question.
"But, ultimately, Dan wasn't in the loop on that hiring, and once he got looped in, he made them correct it. For anybody to speculate there was any strategic evil play here, they're kidding themselves. They're not strategic with anything at Redskins Park. The evil they do is always reactionary. What happened is, this finally filtered up to Dan, and whenever something like that happened he would blow his stack and say, 'Correct this or you're fired!' He never cares about the trail of bodies left along the way."
The former employee went on to discuss how unfortunate Reid's situation is now, and added that nobody should expect anything different. "This is petty and mean, and he's a petty, mean guy," said the former employee. "Whether it's football or radio or anything. This is him."
