VaK9Trainer Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I read something interesting today that might take Bezo's out of the bidding, if he was actually going to bid in the first place. Apparently he lost something like 57 Billion Dollars because the bottom dropped out of the Amazon stock. That's a LOT of $$$ even for someone with Bezos' wealth. Perhaps he may be a little reluctant to pull the trigger knowing that a stadium still needs to be built along with a lot of renovations to the current facilities. But then again, What do I know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop the fake news. SCS said it’s a 🔐 lock. Team is Bezos’s. Heck team maybe already sold and they are just waiting to pop the news. SCS is the last and only word. He’s in tune to Dan and Jeff. Heck, he probably brokering the deal himself. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwards Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 27 minutes ago, Wildbunny said: @Redwards you may want to edit your post, it's going against the rules and the profanity filter I believe I believe that yes, this team for many "interested" was not looking that great. Harris isn't meeting 6 Billion, and Bezos seems to be cold about it too. So Dan is not gonna make as much money as he first hoped to. Dan will never cease to amaze me. Each time I'm expecting him to fail big time about everything he does. And he always ends up doing it even worse than envisioned. Done. Yikes. I actually was wondering about that. Thanks for the heads-up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 I say the sale is announced at the last possible moment. So, May 21. Maybe the nfl should just buy the team from Dan and then sell it themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah Sheehan was one who strongly opposed changing the name. But outside of that I don't recall him being passionate about anything except not liking Red Wolves, saying he doesn't care overll about the branding, and now saying he wants a rebrand but without a specific name that he's pushing. @Skinsinparadise Sheehan reiterated all of this again in his podcast today (April 7).

But it was the 80’s, so maybe I can be forgiven for that mortal sin. Don’t hate on Red. It’s a great color. "I like Hawaiian Punch..." Boy that brings back memories. Most of you are too young to remember this but before everything went to plastic they used to sell big 46 oz steel cans of HP. On a hot day I could drink a whole can in one sitting. Like drinking pure sugar. Most likely it was a big factor in why I'm now a type 2 diabetic. 4 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd listen to that podcast. That was the most optimistic about Bezos buying the team. That dude from punk.com who wrote the article about Bezos that was posted here last week -- was a bit wishy washy when he was on Finlay's show, but with Standig he bet that Bezos ends up with the team. He wasn't reporting that, he didn't hear that, but it was his gut knowing Bezos some. Edited April 8, 2023 by Skinsinparadise 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballZombie Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) Like a large dog during an unguarded thanksgiving dinner, Rebranding is on the table baby! There are only so many plays in the "pump up the fans" playbook. It would be madness for new ownership not to be considering a full rebrand as one of the cards up their sleeves. I still don't think its inevitable or anything, but the pressure from the fanbase will swell once we have a singular target and the idea will have to at least be strongly considered. I'd also suspect that some of the potential owners have already given it some thought. Edited April 8, 2023 by FootballZombie 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
