LOVERRO: The Allen-Snyder feud continues to take a toll on the franchise

It seems like every word of every sentence of every story that comes out of the House Oversight and Reform Committee’s investigation into the Washington Commanders paints a more troubling picture of Dan Snyder than before.

The owner’s partner in pettiness and mismanagement of an NFL franchise for 10 years was Bruce Allen, the team’s former general manager and president who, before he fell out of favor with the boss, absorbed much of the criticism directed at the franchise — Snyder’s beard, if you will.

Allen earned a lot of that criticism on his own, mind you, and he and Snyder together were the “Hardy Boys” of the NFL, bumbling through one misadventure after another.
