In DC, J.P. Finlay noted ESPN Radio 980 DC Redskins analyst Sam Huff's workload will be “cut back” this season and Huff is “not happy about it.” At the Redskins annual welcome lunch last Friday, Huff “spoke candidly about his demotion” and said that he “doesn’t understand why his work is being reduced.” He also said that he “questioned if his honest critiques no longer play well on the radio.” Huff even gestured toward Redskins and station Owner Dan Snyder, “who sat just a few seats down from Huff on the dais.” While Huff made comments to the crowd, Snyder “noticeably did not look" at him (WASHINGTONIAN.com, 8/27).
