Bezos could probably have a team tomorrow if he wanted one. Is there anything other than pure speculation to indicate that he does?

Where there's smoke, there's fire in my mind. I get the feeling he's interested in owning a team, but in the right situation. This would be a win/win for the NFL....but Snyder is too petty

[profusion]

Eh, could be. I'm always suspicious of those anonymously sourced stories. My guess is that the NFL wants Bezos more than he wants them.

 

It's all fantasy anyway. The NFL isn't going to force Dan to sell.

Technically, 2016 was above .500 at 8-7-1, but of course no playoffs due to the late-season collapse.  And for some strange reason I think we are somehow going to make it this year, which would be the second straight season of playoffs with a losing record.....although it also wouldn't surprise me if we get everyone all geeked up by beating the Eagles, and then somehow lose to the Giants.

21% winning season rate.

 

If this were baseball the batting average would still stink. 

[TD_washingtonredskins]

It really is amazing that his best team was the team he inherited in 1999. That team exploded in the fall and then gelled down the stretch. It really lost that Bucs game based on a collection of fluky plays. If you replayed that second half 10 times, I think the Skins win that game 7 or 8 times. 

 

I really couldn't have been more wrong about what the franchise needed when Snyder came in. I thought the "outsider" was a good thing. A shot in the arm. I thought the organization needed someone to come in and hold employees accountable and shake things up. But man, I just wish JKC handed the team down to his sons like any other arrogant, eccentric tycoon did.

I think you will be disappointed when Philly crushes us.

JKC HATED nepotism.  He was never giving his team to his son.

Yeah, clearly. In hindsight, I just wish he was more like the Hunts, Rooneys, and Maras...that's all.

mod edit gratuitous political comment (and he knows better)---added to previous violations and other issues = perma-ban....adios, posse

[NickyJ]

There is enough dirt with this team to post about without needing to bring in dirt from politics.

members should report such posts, do not just complain about them in the thread or you also risk getting flagged

 

and a reminder to all:  never quote a rule violating post or you may get the penalty as the original offender (see rule 6)

[Cooleyfan1993]

Saw something last night that said another article on Snyder is coming out this week. Wednesday or Thursday is my guess. Wonder what that will be about?

[Ball Security]

Keep seeing the references to Bezos and have this wild thought: Mackenzie Scott buys they team, and in her philanthropic ways, creates a Packers-like ownership situation.  Daydreaming, of course, but that would be cool as hell.

There is still plenty to watch with Snyder's discretions. The congressional oversight committee is interviewing people, that I know. What will they be able to accomplish? Who knows. But one thing I do know, as long as things are happening and people are still investigating, there's still a chance, slim as it may be.

All Dan and the nfl has to do is delay and run out clock to when there’s a change and the investigators are no longer calling the shots. So; they will stonewall until that happens.

Can this team get anything ****ing right?

The answer is no.  No it cannot.

[CobraCommander]

That’s clearly a towel and not a flag. 

[Barry.Randolphe]

Whoever is dropping these reports needs to spread them out so the most damaging one hits right after the Superbowl and can dominate the news cycle for weeks

I'm Confused

 

[Cooleyfan1993]

Someone on twitter stated that the crooked number and lettering is a printing issue. And i agree. That’s not the teams fault, and i doubt it would even be a catchable mistake right away. That’s not something to bash the team or Jason wright for. 

[Captain Wiggles]

I have two of the ST towels from 2007. The printing on those is also crooked. 🤷‍♂️

[RFK Lives]

I have two of those towels as well.  I thought the material felt cheap but they have held up well over time.  I only thought it felt cheap compared to say a terrible towel a friend has I found that it had a little more weight to it.  

While askew printing may not be the team's fault, you think they or the printer would have a QA process that would submit a prototype for approval.
