D-Day
"Danny's Day"
Opening the mail we see an envelope postmarked from the Skins! That's right, great news were getting closer to that magic time of year. We have been on the "IR" since the last game of the season preparing again for another attempt for the return to GLORY. The envelope is opened to find the season ticket invoice. No surprises this year as we have found some in the past.
Enclosed with the invoice was a friendly letter stating the good news about the ticket price not changing, and how the Danny has only raised ticket prices 1 out of the past 6 seasons. But he has raised everything else possible including parking, concessions, merchandise, taxes, and anything else he can find. Memo to the Danny: The Skins cumulative record over the past 6 seasons has been 41 wins and 55 losses and they continue to be the 2nd highest ticket prices only cheaper then the winning Patriots. We also noticed payment for the tickets was due quite soon. I assume the Danny has to get "Redskin 1" gassed up and flying for the Free Agency season. So the suckers that we are send payment right away to fill the large pockets of the Redskins as do all other 90,000+ ticket holders as always hoping that this will be the year.
In sending payment we saw that the mailing address for payment was in Georgia? In the past payment has always been sent to FedEx Field in Maryland. Right away my guess is that the Danny is using one of his "Redzebra/Redzone" businesses for us to send payment to avoid some type of tax that Maryland was charging him to clear those payments each season. Someone deserves a raise for this idea! I am thinking next season we will probably be sending our ticket money and invoice back to India. Just imagine that experience.
Starting last season a separate line on the invoice appears for "PG County admission and amusement tax"; this really hurts. When has Fedex Field become an amusement park?? I guess when Uncle AL brought the circus offense with multiple reverses for losses and drive killers. I have not seen any elephants around but I have smelt some shit on the field many of games. Pretty soon they will have annoying men in opposition team clothes in a dunk tank outside each section with the proceeds going directly into the Danny's back pocket or I guess now Danny Rockets. Or even better maybe Cerrato can start guessing fans age or weight at the entrance cause he certainly can't pick talent.
No worries though I did get an included coupon for $10.00 off a purchase of $50.00 or more which expires 4/30/07 (prior to the new merchandise for '07 season). One request for the Danny and Skins is we authorize the use of our money to have fireworks shooting out of the lights in the upper level prior to EVERY home game this season.
Enjoy your big $ day Danny.
