I agree that Millelie and Hands aren't the same. But I'm sure ZaelleDC is Millelie, and I'm not sure who the hell he/she is other than a raging idiot.

Now that I see your tag line, it's obvious that Millelie can't be one of Leonsis' kids! Unless maybe the "arrogant cheapskate" bit was written when she was a teenager?

lol maybe she was in her rebel stage

So, as I was saying (cough, cough, subliminal message - It's Doc) that when the NASDAQ is strong (cough, cough, subliminal message - It's Doc), the economy usually can survive disruptions in the Asian (cough, cough, It's Doc) markets.

Whats going on here?

Looks like ZaElle wrote a long winded post shredding Dan Snyder and then had it deleted. Hmmm.... Didn't want to get daddy in trouble with his colleagues huh.

Blasting nepotism would make it seem less likely that it's Ted's kin, given that Zach is now in senior management.

Maybe Elle wanted that spot in management.

I don't think Elle would name her own account Zach-Elle-DC.

IMO, the username points to either:

a shared account for the two of them

Ted's wife

One of their nannies? Perhaps their butler or driver?

All of them, a la Orient Express

It's probably a UMD PhD candidate, getting a lot of action from her behavioral science experiments. I often thought Hands was just performing a study of internet responses. This is probably just a new segment of the study.

One thing this thread has done is turn Millie into a ghost. Too bad, too. He (she?) always added color to the board.

ZaElle is Ted. That part is clear. That's the part I love about having Leonsis as an owner and what I was most looking forward to when he took over the team. The idea that we could engage with a forward thinking owner who night recognize the value of crowd sourced intelligence. The way our Intelligence agencies do.

I do think we always have to realize that in part Ted is protecting the brand. So his voiced opinion may sometimes have spin. If the team loses money, if the fanbase loses faith, then the front office loses flexibility to make moves when they have to. Okay some of those moves are things like paying a coach you have to fire, or paying to get rid of Andray Blatche. Those moves are kicking kitty litter over a lump, but still, things like advanced camera systems cost real world dollars. Exceeding the cap by a large amount or paying lux tax would cost real money of the rewards were worth it, if we were close.

But this is a business, a team, a City with a dangerously fickle fanbase. We are the diehards, we tend not to go away, he can count on our votes, but consider how much of his building is filled by casual fans, transient fans, folks whose core loyalties were forged far from DC. Lobbyist boxes, those dollars can be spent somewhere else if the narrative of the team is 'perennial hopeless case' and 'laughingstock'. So dollars get spent, moves get made, to keep us at least mediocre. And Ted smoothly assures the general public there's a plan and and things are going well, and strike up the band on the Titanic. We know better because we're not even in steerage class, we're mooks in the boiler room hired to shovel coal into engines that are filling with water. Nothing he says will change our opinion all that much. The building is filled with pleasure cruise types more than internet trolls. Hell half the dudes on this board are posting from Australia or Poland or China or Estonia or roll call, check in, where you from?

So recall always that sometimes Ted has to gild a turd and tell you it's a pure ingot.

But the fact that he listens is not bad. We end up landing Morris Almond and a few other minor moves that were made, where it was a position intelligently advocated by a respected poster here and there, and it made me wonder if in fact the team did listen some. Sadly you can't crowdsource the entire GM job. Just make suggestions here and there.

But occasionally its got to be nice to hear a voice speak on behalf of the team, maybe turn the tide of public opinion or at least give room for a sunnier outlook. Nice to have a millie on board every now and again.

It would be really cool if Ted posted a photo holding a sign saying "yes I'm Zaelle"

Greatest owner ever

Yes, doc, it's nice to have you around. But hmmmm, now I'm wondering if --


Millie = doc = Ted?

Doc! Fire EGg! That can't be too hard to spin, can it? "...to spend more time with his family," should do it. Anyone who thinks he's a good GM will believe anything.

Has anyone ever seen Doc and Milllieeiee posting at the same time?

#itisdoc

Please Ted....errrr, I mean doc. Fire Ernie and you can have Miller's moderator slot.
