February 17, 2011) Maybe this is old news, but it feels new to me. In his blog this week, John Feinstein wrote that Tony Kornheiser has asked him not to bring up the topic of Daniel Snyder on his radio show. Here's Feinstein:

Tony Kornheiser has specifically asked me not to bring up Dan Snyder on his show. I feel queasy about this but Tony's my friend and it is his show. It isn't as if there aren't plenty of other forums for me to talk about Snyder and Snyder is one of those guys Tony simply isn't going to go after--not because he's paid by him but because he likes him.

Look, we all have blind spots. If you tell me something bad about Paul Goydos or Tom Watson or Gary Williams or Mike Krzyzewski or Mary Carillo or Joe Torre or Bobby Cox I'm not going to listen. Snyder is one of those guys for Tony. So is Mitch Albom, who we also disagree on. If I had a show and he wanted to come on and rip Watson's politics, I'd probably say, 'look, I'm sure I agree with you but the guy is my friend so let's not go there.' And he wouldn't go there. So, Tony and I don't talk about Snyder. We agree to disagree--vehemently.

Speaking of, in the week that news broke of Dan Snyder's lawsuit against CIty Paper, there was never a sustained discussion of the issue on Tony Kornheiser's radio show. A radio show that's largely devoted to the D.C. sports and media scene. That seemed odd.
