Dan Snyder is a forgotten man, in another land, and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving asshole. The shield was behind Mike Tirico getting cock-blocked from the original Thursday Night Football in favor of "Over The Hill Al," and what happens IF the league needs network TV more than the other way around?
