I knew the feeling.
I got all squirmy watching Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder fielding questions about the poor start of the team he owns.
He reminded me of one of those mimes performing that Man in a Box act. He would have rather been sitting on the right front coil of an electric range than have to defend himself.
But to his credit, there was apology without blame. It's a good thing he wore that Teflon suit to the Redskins Charitable Foundation function he attended. Good move ... nothing was allowed to stick. Check a montage of quotes (queue the NFL Films music for background ... On the frozen tundra ...):
"I feel bad for the fans ... I'm understanding ... We just feel terrible ... We're disappointed and embarrassed ... It hurts. I mean it really hurts ... We are really trying very, very hard ... We've let everyone down -- including ourselves.
