If NFL doesn't hammer Washington now, it raises specter of wider misconduct

Daniel Snyder's immunity from the NFL appears to know no bounds.

We'll find out soon enough how far it extends.

A letter from U.S. Congress to the Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday levies allegations of outrageous fraud committed by Snyder's Washington Commanders against ticket holders and fellow NFL franchises. It repeatedly references the term "juice," alleges the use of two sets of books and reads more like a scripted Tony Soprano scheme to bilk a New Jersey hardware store than the alleged realities of a multi-billion dollar business.

The stakes involved are also befitting of mid-level gangster lore.
