How often do you write to Ted Leonsis?
I'm curious if you guys write to him a lot, a little, in between? We have to get through to management somehow and break this curse upon us.

Ted could care less about the state of this team.
The Caps make him enough money.

Ted responds a lot to my emails and by his comments I think he knows what needs to be done. There's just only so much you can do during the course of a season and frankly they did make a coaching change and do a big deal at the deadline.

Does anyone reference this board or ask him to check it out?

Re: How often do you write to Ted Leonsis?
I emailed him a couple of times this season. My emails are short and to the point. I don't want to waste his time with a long rant. He responded once.
Maybe 6 weeks ago i said it was probably time to cut McGee loose and that Seraphin would probably be a better player. He didn't respond to that one. I sent him a positive email about Booker that he did respond to.
I think he does care about the team but i would guess he gets a little tired of answering emails.

Don't kid yourself. The Wizards are a sleeping giant in this town and if they're playing into May/June he'll be making a lot more bread.
I hope CCJ keeps emailing him about Joerger.

Re: How often do you write to Ted Leonsis?
I was on the radio last night with Consor a little after someone
called about the coaching position and I forgot to bring up
Joerger. Too many other callers talk about re-treads like
McMillan D'Antoni etc.
We need the next Thibs. Joerger could be that guy.

Before the restraining order, I wrote every day.

Re: How often do you write to Ted Leonsis?
I write him once every couple of months with a short thought and he's responded (with an even shorter thought) each time.
Like "Is Blatche an alcoholic?"
Answer: No. (plus some other stuff that's private)

I doesn't matter what I think. This team consistently does the opposite. I do not foresee Joerger being the next coach.
I don't really feel the same enthusiasm about the Wizards after Grunfeld was allowed to make a major deal at the deadline.
I don't see the point of emailing Ted any more.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

Unless....you think "Anyone but Joerger."
Imagine the power you possess, knowing that whatever you think, they do the opposite. You could be like the Wizards psychic GM.
Try it on a small move, like "whatever the Wizards do, they should not waste a roster space on a D-League big to spell Nene and Booker and use up some hard fouls."

Sometimes I think Ted cares more about Snagfilms than his sports teams
