Dan must hate himself. If he was ever an actual fan of this team you would think that after 20+ years of running it into the ground, he would find some way to put it into capable hands.

He's such a small and petty person....[/quote]

He's an evil piece of shit. When he dies, the world will become a bit better place. He's an evil, evil, fucking scumbag.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
 

[quote=jamf;1338510]Dan is running out of time as an NFL. If he decides to keep the team, he will force the NFL to kick him out.

Hopefully this ends soon.[/quote]

Unless he’s got some dirt on the other owners.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
 

I can't believe Dan would tell Bezos no. There were lots of posters on here though that said Dan was really that petty.

I guess it's over now until / if the NFL votes Dan out. I wonder how much of a serious possibility that really is. Seeing Dan's past ability at escaping any punishment or discipline, I'd say he is probably sticking around.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
 

Most of this is speculation, people jumping to conclusions based on limited information and flawed logic. Maybe he will sell , maybe he wont. Nothing we can do about it one way or the other.

He isn’t going anywhere. Not anytime soon. Maybe in 20 years when he is sick of it all.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
 

Let's not overreact. Anything is possible. Hopefully Dan sells the team peacefully instead of the NFL owners forcing his hand.

That entire article had no source or anything, it just said Dan has prevented Bezos from bidding. We shall see.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
 

Josh Kosman from the NY Post reported it...didn't cite the source who probably didn't want to be mentioned. Not uncommon.

[I]"Bezos, who’s worth more than $100 billion, was prevented by Snyder from entering the private auction though the Amazon founder wanted to participate, sources said."

"A source closely watching the sale told Kosman of Snyder, He’s an ass and he may not want to give it up.”[/I]

Lol. If Bezos offers 500 milion more than everybody else and an all-cash deal Snyder might rethink his position.

Just feel like there's a lot of people freaking out here that option A might be out of the race before he even gets in.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
 

No way does Dan sell to Bezos. Way too much bad blood there.

I can’t find one other article supporting that notion

We all Dan isn’t going to go quietly

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
 

You guys know how you can’t believe anything you hear in the weeks before the draft? Well take that and multiply it by 100 for this. They’re all in a high stakes game of poker, Snyder needs people to think he won’t sell if his price isn’t met; he’s trying to extract the best offer.

If Dan wants a bigger offer from Harris or whoever, he needs them to believe Bezos is out and won’t just swoop in and steal it.

So don’t look at information you hear as true or false, look at it as something someone purposely wanted you, or others, to know. If something comes from the Post and it’s about Bezos, then that’s something Bezos wanted to become public.

Information coming from the NY Post has long felt to me like it’s been leaked by the Snyder camp.

The one piece that makes me come close to believing that Snyder won’t sell to Bezos is The Athletic piece where Standig is the one writing about what a source told him. But it’s still quite likely an intentional leak.

The fact that this inconsistent messaging is coming out from all corners of the media is only proof to me that the sale process is getting close to the end. There’s a lot of money in the pot and everyone is forming their final posture, starting to bluff, and going for misdirection before showing their cards.

100% agree. There is a lot of bluffing, and smoke and mirrors. That's how Snyder has always worked, and he's doing it here too. I agree that the stakes involved make it inevitable, but Snyder has long been a pro at this part of the business world. I think the forces that are pushing hard for Snyder to sell make his hand seem very weak to potential buyers, and his only recourse to get the final price he wants is to say he will walk away from the deal or from Bezos. I don't believe it, and I doubt the bidders do either. Sadly, I do believe Dan is petty enough to make the threat credible.

LOL, that was just one qoute I extracted. Not freaking out, just posting news I ran across and thinking out loud about how petty this little man must be...I don't believe he was ever a fan of this team. Not with how the last 20+ years has gone.

Anyway, there's plenty of reporting on this. Smoke & mirrors? Maybe...

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
 

it's possible that's all circular though, one person said one thing about the Bezos ban (unnamed source) and everyone else is basically aggregating it until it becomes its own echo-chamber.

also possible it's true.

[B]Commanders’ sale playing out ‘how many feared’ it would[/B]

[url]https://www.yahoo.com/sports/commanders-sale-playing-many-feared-105749210.html[/url]


Snyder’s beef with Bezos exists because Bezos owns The Washington Post. Snyder blames the Washington Post for many of his troubles. In actuality, the Washington Post, behind excellent reporting, exposed the toxic workplace that existed under Snyder’s watch for two decades.

Shortly after the New York Post’s report Saturday, Ben Standig of The Athletic confirmed that Snyder is barred from bidding on the Commanders. But, in Standig’s report, he said the potential sale had been “ramped up.”

What does that mean? Does it mean Snyder could sell to Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils owner Josh Harris for less than the $6 billion he reportedly wants?

It’s Dan Snyder, so that remains a mystery.

Here’s another quote from Standig’s story that Washington fans know all too well:

“This is playing out exactly how many feared,” said one sports lawyer of the scenario that Snyder would create an unrealistic price threshold, keep out the wealthiest bidder, and not sell the team.

Could Snyder say his price tag wasn’t met after freezing out the highest potential bidder and keep the Commanders?

Idk though, until we get concrete proof that Dan is digging in and refusing to sell the team because he doesn't like any of the bids I'm not sweating it.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
 

I don't think Dan is capable of making a proactive move in any sense. Everything he does is reactionary. If he decides to dig in it is because he heard it on the news that is what he is doing. If the narrative was the bids were the most ever for a North American team he would have sold so he could be number 1 in something. The dude is incapable of making a thought.

I am being flippant for the most part. But he is reactive not proactive. He would make a lousy chess player.

It just feels like something he would actually do. Money usually wins in the end, but we'll see. Snyder's a little different...

If Dan keeps the team 90% of the fanbase will leave

I firmly believe Dan will sell a majority stake. You don’t jump these hoops without that decision already made.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
 

If Dan doesn't sell it be equal to me waking up at age 10 on Xmas morning hoping for a NES and all I get is a stack of crossword puzzle books from Santa.

He's selling.

Like I said, if he does I'm out FUCK DAN

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
 

Does anyone really believe he's going to turn his nose up to $6 or $6.5 BILLION even if that offer is from Bezos?

Stop.

This is all posturing.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
 

Seems like a rather clumsy way to drive up the price. Not surprised. Dan has to know it’s over.

Also, if Bezos is out, all the other bidders know they won't have to bid as high to get anywhere close to what Bezos would bid.

Completely agree. It seems so unlikely that he's not going to sell at this point. Of course, he will make it a miserable experience for all involved, most particularly us.

HaHa...I haven't actually seen anyone go that far...mostly just discussion and posting links to relevant reporting...same thing this very forum does for all news related to this team.

I think we all understand that it is more than likely posturing, but I also think we all know that Snyder isn't a rational human being, and anything goes with this petty little man.

I believe the sale is moving forward. Most signs are pointing there. The Bezos thing could be true...could be completely false. We'll know soon enough.
