I get the thought, who knows, hope he's wrong I understood the point being made here but Dans willingness to sell is pretty much moot at this point. The owners want him gone…and they’re saturated with cause to vote him out. I was at the Vikings game right after the news came out. You could feel an atmosphere of hope at the stadium. The team goin on this run immediately after news of Dan selling is poetic justice. we’re on the verge of being a perennial contender. A team that was built from the ground up via the draft in spite of Dans best meddling efforts. This off-season is going to be special when we can finally move forward. ….and Danny boy will have to sit and watch us eat as a franchise. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zim489 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 even if he changes his mind I doubt a single jurisdiction does a stadium deal with him. 12 minutes ago, Stone Cold said: This off-season is going to be special when we can finally move forward. In terms of the actual football product theres very little they can do to move the needle. QB fix looks extremely unlikely. The hope is that they can finally get a real organizational structure that follows the traditional hierarchy that produces results instead of the one year game plans that the Head Coaches in charge do .

Yeah I get all that. And true transition will take time. Thing is, I dont underestimate the energy suck that little man is on our performance. And with him gone, id be willing to bet on a significant increase in attendance as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringMetheHeadofBruceAllen Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I'm sure the last thing the league and the other owners want to see is this team go on a run and make the playoffs, because that keeps the scandal on national TV for another week or so during the playoffs. I also don't think it changes the fact that they want him out ASABSTC (as soon as Bezos signs the check). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the thought, who knows, hope he's wrong I get the thought too, however I don't think it matters. He retained BofA Securities which means he's serious. I have to think he was pushed to this, he didn't just wake up and come to this conclusion. There is a reason, which we might never know, why he decided to sell the team. It could be Rodger is sitting on something MJW found out, and the quid-pro-quo is "sell the team, I'll bury this." It could be that he can't get a new stadium, and therefor the other owner told him to sell on his own before they forced him out. It could be other things. I don't know. But when I saw he had retained a very reputable IBank, the end seems in sight. You don't just do that on a whim. There are a lot of protections in the agreements to make sure owners don't do that on a whim. It wastes the IBanks time and money, and they don't like that. And they get half of Congress elected, so the rules are in their favor. I think the decision to sell is almost reversable. I mean, anything CAN happen. But it would be extraordinarily rare for a sale not to come through at this point. 21 minutes ago, Bifflog said: They also have really, really good BBQ.... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyst Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I do fear us winning and maybe making the playoffs will have Snyder-boy thinking “we are so close and I want to see this through”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommanderInTheRye Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Scratch one billionaire off the prospective buyer's list. Is Ballmer claiming he's suddenly not interested in buying ANY NFL team (after years of rampant speculation that he was a top future ownership candidate) because he never wanted to own a team OR is he saying this because he lost the bidding war for the Commanders and wants to save face? .

88Comrade2000 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Dan is selling because the nfl either has the dirt on him or the votes to remove him. He can’t back out. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 It's probably a big pile of dirt. If it was just the league wanting to vote him out he'd start a war. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or the intimidation display by Bezos thru the W.Post a couple of weeks ago took hold. The one where everyone else was essentially told to give up and not waste their time.

Maybe that guy that claimed one of Dan's closest friends told him the deal was all but done was actually telling the truth. If so, we should be getting a Schefter, or similar high profile reporter, breaking news leak in the next few days. Hee, hee, I'm getting downright giddy! .
