Riggins calls Snyder a "bad guy."

In an interview with JB that will air on Showtime's Inside the NFL, John Riggins says the following:

John Riggins: "...this is a bad guy (Snyder) that owns this team. I'll just tell you that upfront. Bad guy. And if the Commissioner is worried about potential new owners and saying some of these guys shouldn't apply, he might want to police his own inside guys...."

Brown: "Why is he a bad guy?"

Riggins: "Because his business practices, I think. I don't want to say they are unethical, but I don't think it's a place, a climate that is created there where people can be successful. It's driven all by his ego and everything has to come from him. And I just don't think you can be successful in those situations and when you are dealing with someone with the mindset of a child and yet owns a franchise in the NFL. I think you have some problems there."

Cris Collinsworth: "We are talking about Daniel Snyder . Are you saying in some way he is unethical? Because I have dealt with him in the past and I have never sensed anything close to that. Or are you saying he has made bad decisions on the football side as an owner? Or what is specifically the issue?"

Riggins: "I am saying that I don't think that this franchise can be successful where you have people saying, 'Oh, this person Dan Snyder wants to win. He wants to win.' It's all about priorities. 'What's my priorities? The priority is it's all about me. I have to have my needs met, then I want to make money, and those are one and two, and then I want to win. You can see by the decisions that are made....I don't know if you have agreed with anything I am saying so far, but at this point, I would think you would say, 'Yeah, I'll go along with that.' This person knows nothing about football, absolutely nothing. I don't think they have a clue how a football team comes together, how it works. And yet they are the ones that are basically calling all the shots through a puppet, which is Vinny Cerrato. That is my take on it....I speak for the fans because these are the people that paid my salary for all these years. They are the ones that need to know that this is a bad guy."

Collinsworth: "There is a fine line between being a bad guy and a bad GM, if you will. Are you saying a bad guy as in the NFL needs to take a look at this?"

Riggins: "Let me put it to you this way, Cris, this person's heart is dark."

Riggins is a legend in this town but he is a clown. I don't think Snyder is much of an owner. He meddles too much and has made a number of questionable football decisions but he has done a great amount of charitable work. I think it is a bit silly for Riggins to say Snyder has a dark heart and is just a bad person. I don't know either of them but Riggins never really gave any specifics when Collinsworth asked him. Again, Snyder seems to be a bad owner but seems to go a little overboard calling him a bad person. Riggo is just a clown.

I am more inclined to go with a guy like B-Mitch who is highly critical of Snyder and Cerrato for their football decisions but recognizes there is a line between a person's professional life and personal life. He thanked Snyder for being included in the Redskins Ring of Fame and when the crowd started booing Snyder when Mitchell said his name, Mitchell told them not to boo.
