Fred Hickman has called a T-O - and sounded off.
Here's what he said on CNN/Sports Illustrated's Sports Tonight.
Now, it's your turn to fire back.
Fred on...
Don't hail the Redskins

I'm taking a timeout.

You know why people loathe Redskins owner Daniel Snyder?

Well, let me give you a good example. Washington plays Pittsburgh at Three Rivers Stadium on Saturday, and what does he do, but bring their nice, heated, sideline seats with them. The home team is sitting on the cold metal while the Redskins were keeping their buns nice and toasty.

And that's the essence of what they loathe about the guy: the sense of arrogance they get from him; the "my-way-or-the-highway" mentality. He tried to buy a ring this season and it backfired, and his detractors couldn't be happier if he'd sat down on them himself and got up with a butt that looked like a waffle.

By the way, the Redskins lost the game, and a lot more during the course of the season.

You Fired Back
After Fred's rant appeared on Sports Tonight, CNNSI.com users shared their opinions. Here are some of their responses.

Next year, opening day, announcement: Now playing quarterback, No. 1 Daniel Snyder.

I couldn't agree with Fred more. Snyder threw money everywhere, wanting to buy a championship, rather than earn one. He and his team got what they deserve. The country is laughing at you, Daniel.
Lee Neely, Austin, Texas

Can't you media pundits think of something else besides bashing the Redskins? This reminds me of your obsession with John Rocker earlier this year. You are a tired act.
