Dan Snyder thinks Dave McKenna needs to “grow up.”

That’s according to words the R******* owner used during a pair of interviews conducted with NBC4 and Fox 5/WTTG last night. Snyder talked about a wide variety of topics: moving the team back to D.C., his role in the team’s football operations, Albert Haynesworth’s legal troubles, and so forth. But, obviously, the big topic was Snyder’s suit against the City Paper and McKenna regarding the writer’s “The Cranky Redskins Fan’s Guide to Dan Snyder”, which has earned Snyder near–universal disdain.

Asked by NBC4’s Lindsay Czarniak about whether he had regrets about filing the lawsuit against the paper (which he has since expanded to name McKenna as a defendant), Snyder had the following to say:

“Sure, you always second-guess things like that, but you know, I hired [Redskins PR head Tony Wyllie] to do a job, and I respect him. I think he’s a really talented guy, and I think I’m in good hands, so I get over it, I move on. Life is not that focused. I think [McKenna] has an obsession, some sort of issue and needs to get over it and grow up.”

Of course, Snyder then said the following to Fox’s Dave Feldman during their sit-down:

“But then you have what I’ll call the tabloid journalists that made your profession look poor. If anything, the surprise to me about that lawsuit is you had legitimate journalists taking sides with the tabloid journalists. I thought that was a little chintzy.”

During the course of the two interviews, Snyder used the word “tabloid,” in reference to the City Paper or McKenna, several times — often with an air of paranoia. Some might be tempted to call it, oh, I don’t know, obsessive.
