CLINTON, Md. (AP) -Dan Snyder says his Washington Redskins have ``let everyone down.''

In a rare, in-season interview with reporters, Snyder said at a charity event that the team is embarrassed by its 2-5 start and hopes to turn things around soon.

Snyder has been the subject of much ire from some fans. Signs critical of the owner have been confiscated at recent home games as part of the team's new crackdown on all signs and banners at the stadium.

Snyder was asked about the sign ban but did not address the issue. Regarding the fans, he said: ``We've let everyone down, including ourselves, and we know that and we're just apologetic.''
