After almost a week of cryptic teasing on social media by Washington D.C. area reporters, the Washington Post’s “bombshell” story on Daniel Snyder’s franchise has dropped.

“Exclusive: Fifteen women who worked for Redskins allege sexual harassment by former scouts and members of owner Daniel Snyder’s inner circle,” the Washington Post tweeted out at 5:30 p.m. E.T. on Thursday night.

After almost a week of cryptic teasing on social media by Washington D.C. area reporters, the Washington Post’s “bombshell” story on Daniel Snyder’s franchise has dropped.

“Exclusive: Fifteen women who worked for Redskins allege sexual harassment by former scouts and members of owner Daniel Snyder’s inner circle,” the Washington Post tweeted out at 5:30 p.m. E.T. on Thursday night.

In total, 15 former Redskins employees have alleged sexual harassment during their time with the NFC East franchise.

One woman, Emily Applegate, spoke on the record, while the other 14 women requested anonymity “citing a fear of litigation.”

The 15 women allege sexual harassment by members of Snyder’s inner circle. The Washington Redskins owner reportedly declined to comment to The Post.

“Team owner Daniel Snyder declined several requests for an interview. Over the past week, as The Post presented detailed allegations and findings to the club, three team employees accused of improper behavior abruptly departed, including Larry Michael, the club’s longtime radio voice, and Alex Santos, the team’s director of pro personnel,” the Washington Post reports.

I guess the management of the Washington Foreskins took their name too seriously. Are they LIBs/DIMs...if so, all is forgiven.

It’s appearing as though my initial prediction of the new franchise name being the “Washington Weiners” was rather prophetic.

That’s it?

Yawn. Similar complaints about members of Jerry Jones’ entourage from ex-Dallas cheerleaders have been on tape for years.

I imagine there’s a LOT of dirt on Jerry Jones out there.

So this is how they were blackmailed into changing their name; but they got double-crossed after the name change was announced.

WHAT..this isn’t a BOMBSHELL. This is daily every day occurance in every NFL franchise. I thought it was going to be BIG. Ha. They fooled us. About the bang the size of a ladyfinger.

'Larry Michael, the club’s longtime radio voice'

Who pushed Frank Herzog out the door before he was ready to go. (And he was quite plain about it.) Why was Michael given the center seat in the radio broadcast? A Snyder acolyte. That loudmouthed, Ted Baxter wannbe, ass-kissing bastard. Herzog had more professionalism, talent, and class in his little toe - on a Monday morning - with a hangover - than that ankle-nipping, obnoxious lapdog Michael had on his best day. I'm glad to see this team imploding, top to bottom.
