JSSkinz Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 This seems so ridiculous, a billion dollar company is being run into the ground but the owner is ok with it because he needs a friend? If this is true then I have to believe Dan is on his way out and no longer cares, basically, he's in "F it" mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I'm still hoping that Fred Smith comes in and saves the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means that a new stadium there wouldn't be ready until the 2025 season at the earliest. And considering the FedEx lease doesn't expire until 2027...….we very well might be there until then. . The lead time on a project like this is massive. DC hasn't even gotten the necessary lease extension from the feds yet. Then, there'll have to be DC legislation and bureaucratic stuff, then probably years of dealing with the inevitable NIMBY lawsuits. Then at least three years for construction. There isn't a snowball's chance "RFK2" is ready by 2027, if ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he can make millions upon millions of dollars look for him to stay. He is the problem but weeding Allen out helps. Hoping that happens.

There isn't a snowball's chance "RFK2" is ready by 2027, if ever. Yeah its a three step process, maybe 4. A. Securing the land. B. Securing the financing. C. Building the stadium. It could have a 4th component (the WP article actually hinted on it which is Congress wants to see more public support) which would be mobilizing public support -- that takes time, I've seen that process play out in South Florida. I did some work on the mobilizing public support part. They haven't achieved any of these components yet. It really has a feel of Bruce selling Dan we are close on the stadium as they head straight towards the iceberg. Like I said Dan trusting his buddy Bruce on this to the bitter end might though end up his undoing. Is he really going to just ride it out at Fedex for ever? Or build another stadium right next door (like the Giants did with the Meadowlands) at his own expense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with Burgold as far as not minding FedEx as much as many, but they really need to try and get back into the city. Its been about four years now since they released those renderings of the moat palace and led us to believe that we were just around the corner with a new facility. I really think at this point they will be in Landover until the lease expires, and somehow work out something in DC in the interim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just slap some duct tape on it and send him out, screw the med staff. I'm pretty sure Trent Williams would disagree on here. Still I believe it went more like: Dan: "What di the doc say?" Haskins: "Told me I should sit for the game and have MRI tomorrow". Dan: "Listen to the Doc son." Still, anyway, I want Dan to stay far, far away, even further than the galaxy where Star Wars takes place, of the football field, and leave it to football people. If he didn't trust Callahan for this, then see answer of the 1st quote. 2 minutes ago, Xameil said: Ok...you're reaching here...he was just advising him to listen to the medical staff... Not much.

The doctor said not to play the rest of the game, haskins wanted to go back in, Snyder was agreeing with the doctor. And i think the doctor is a pretty good person to trust 🤷🏻♂️ Overruling would be if he said “Dwayne, don’t listen to her, you’ll be fine, go back out there”.

TK Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Here's the thing. IF Dan doesn't get rid of him, they're going to start losing players in FA. Trent's not the only one that wants out with Bruce here. Scherff won't resign if Bruce is here either. So you can almost bet that Bruce will pull the ol "Kurt/ 2 year double tag" on him.
