That’s the Queen that sits on the throne at Buckingham Palace and not the deceased rock star who continues to rock NFL stadiums during time outs.
Well the answer is ………both have two birthdays.
Every year it seems Mr Snyder manages to have his own little private party with NFL studs when the free agency period commences.

Washington Redskins Offseason needs
Parity – the utopia of NFL executives, where every team in the NFL finishes 8-8 and the entire playoff structure is decided by a series of nail biting coin tosses (no doubt by someone from the US military).
