He will ride off into the sunset on his yacht with billions just like every other billionaire con artist does in the end.

[quote=Chief X_Phackter;1338738]Can you imagine having the privilege to own one of the greatest sports organizations of all time, and then completely squandering that opportunity, and failing to the extent that he has? It's nothing short of amazing.[/quote]

He's failing that task successfully, considering what he paid for the team and what he's gonna sell it for.

The most despised owner in the NFL, fucked everything up you possibly can, and he's still gonna make billions on his investment. Congrats to him, now get the fuck out.

Don Van Atta from ESPN posed a theory in Andrew Brandt's podcast about how/why the NFL has protected Snyder. He calls Jerry Jones the shadow commissioner of the league and believes it has been Jones all along that has basically forced the league to protect Snyder, who he has seen from day one as his protege.

You gotta give it to Jerry for basically keeping his rival team under terrible ownership for all these years.

Thank freaking goodness the Cowboys haven't won shit for almost as long as we haven't. Jones/Snyder = Finkle/Einhorn.

Report on PFT about the NFLPA poll from yesterday, the Arizona Cardinals charge their players for food in the facility.

First thing that came to mind when I read that was what Dans response would be, something like " wait , you mean we can charge them for that? Why did nobody tell me. Can we charge them for pads too?"

And then Dan will pay himself $500K a year for being the team's food provider.

When the news goes silent like this it says to me something's happening. There's a reason everyone has stopped leaking information to the press.

It's possible they're hot and heavy in negotiations at this point on the price, or it's possible discussions among the owners are hot and heavy with respect to handling Snyder's ridiculous requests, either by acquiescing or by refusing and forcing his ass out.

No telling what's going on but I'm sure something is happening because right now it's eerily silent.

DC billionaire Mitchell Rales is partnering with Josh Harris in their attempt to buy the Washington Commanders, per league source. Rales is the co-founder of the Danaher Corporation, DC’s largest company.

Neither are billionaires, but give me Daymond John and Robert Herjavec if we had 2 Shark Tank owners.

Was just about to post the news about Mitchell Ralls and Josh Harris joining forces.

Great reporting by MTK.

It has also been reported that Snyder has been in contacted with the other NFL owners and his comment was that "there are several bidders that the league will LOVE, and the sale price is looking good".

We might be just days or a week from hearing that this is finally a done deal!!!

Just a hunch but I like this idea better than Bezos. I like my billionaires to be as low key as a billionaire can be. Of course nobody's perfect and literally anybody's better than Dan Snyder, but the idea of rooting for a team owned by one of the most hated man on earth didn't exactly thrill me to be honest.

If Snyder taking a several millions $ discount out of pettiness ends up giving us quieter owners, that'd be the Snyderest way to unintentionally give us a make amend gift on his way out.

I think they'd be my preference of the 2 options. But also, either option is 100× better than Shithead. So I won't be anything less than jacked the fuck up no matter what way it goes. Just get the sale completed.

I want a Stan Kroenke clone. Maybe this Rales/Harris group will be just that.

[I]Kroenke has earned the moniker "Silent Stan" for his reclusive approach to media appearances, only speaking when he absolutely has to.[/I]

Stan Kroenke of Kroenke Sports & Entertainment*(KSE) owns five professional sport franchises: Colorado Mammoth, LA Rams, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Rapids, three of which have recently won their League Championship and/ or multiple Division totles over the last couple years.

Definitely worth keeping in mind the owner is not supposed to be a star, the quarterback is.

The owners just need to hire leadership and work on the business. If we get a guy that does that, we’ve won.

This.
Looking from across the pond it even feels weird at times that we know the name of the owner. Around here apart from a few iconic characters you hardly know who's owning the teams you root for.
