Why would he do that if he had no interest at all? Genuine interest. Maybe dipped his toe in the water to see what’s what. Maybe getting set up and cleared to dive right in on the Seattle sale. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got enough money to finance everything all by himself, thought that's no garantee he will ever do it. Still, reading your many posts and other articles about Rales and Harris as me more than fine with both and would even say that they do have an edge, for me at least, over Bezos. So congrats! You converted me to it, even if I'm not gonna complain if it's Bezos lol, not trying to convert anyone. . Just expressing what I am learning and think as this goes along. Harris was a slow burn for me. @kingdaddy made a lot of good posts about him owning the 76ers. Then as i started digesting other narratives about him, especially from Philly reporters and Banner who used to be the GM of the Eagles and knew him -- I started liking the idea more. But it was Rales that took me over the top. I like most of what I've heard about Harris, there is some I didn't like. But on the aggregate I dug the idea of him as an owner. But with Rales his profile is through the roof perfect at least as far as what I want which is class-competence.

He would not waste his time if he was not interested. The moment he hired Allen and Company and signed the NDA with BofA this was over. We don’t really know if he’s wasted any real tangible time do we ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spjunkies Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Let's not forget that the Bezos group is playing catch up with the other groups who were involved from the beginning if he was granted access in late February, as reported. So the new firm are likely doing their due diligence before making/not making an actual offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen and Company brought in Walton right at the very end of the Broncos process as well. If he has interest he has the right firm engaged on his behalf. We should know shortly either way hopefully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he had some specific interest in this team. But that was prior to many scandals, that the new owners will have to deal with as soon as the sale is official. But once again, the fact that he can outbid everyone and overpay for this team doesn't mean it's a guarantee he'll do it. I would even say that the fact he hired a company to look after it means he's kinda cautious about it. Otherwise, if he really wanted it, he could have just bid at 8 billion the day after bids were open and that would have been game over a long time ago. But he didn't. So he's obviously interested but not at whatever price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he actually wanted the team he would not have hired the firm that processed the last two NFL sales for the Broncos and Panthers and who also happen to process the sale of the Washington Post to Bezos? Instead he would have personally called Dan and said here is 8 billion? Dude this is nonsensical rambling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two sales have gone to the two wealthiest owners in the NFL. Walton and Tepper. Price of entry is hitting the $20B net worth level at these prices.
