Nah. It’s heading for the owners to vote him out and a protracted legal battle.

 

Harris will pull his bid. Bezos will either not bid or only bid between 5 - 5.5 billion. Dan will pout and say the team is off the market until he gets a solid bid for the amount he wants. Nfl owners will vote him out and the legal battle plays out.

 

This is the way this ends because it’s Dan Snyder.

yup, called this **** 200 pages ago.  You all have wasted a lot of time, hot air and virtual paper on this crap.

[Hooper]

Snyder being Snyder is going to end badly for him.

 

If Harris pulls bid there's a scenario where he ends up getting the team for less.

 

Because Dan will have no bidders.

 

And a ton of debt and a pissed off group of owners.

 

Dan will have to go crawling back.

 

Bezos... not happening IMO. He's waiting for Seattle.

I can see why people would think this because...its Snyder. I just don't see it getting to the point of the owners voting him out. Dan has way too much to lose if he lets it get to that point.

Harris should also send one vat of vanilla ice cream to Snyder's office every hour on the hour until he sells. He could throw in some expired peanuts from Braniff Airlines while he's at it. If that doesn't work, Harris should have spoiled milk poured on Snyder's carpet.

Losing has never stopped Dan before it's in his DNA. Hoping it goes down this way.

No one knows how to lose a negotiation and blow leverage like Dan.

 

The only thing that works to his advantage on that front is he's established himself as the combination of being stupid, petty and self-destructive that it could psych some in a negotation that hey maybe Dan would do something that crazy and on rare occasions that may work in his favor but it usually blows up on him i gather.

Still seeing people who think the hold up is Snyder. Yes, he is on board here and is the NFL's tool but the primary issue is that the NFL doesn't want the team sold at a discount. A good amount of the power players here know that while Dan almost certainly doesn't have any dirt, there is dirt to be had. Remember, the fraud Dan has been accused of would take assistance of some of those power players. Selling at a perceived discount right now in the face of WWE selling at a premium is not a good signal to future potential buyers. You also have the situation in Phoenix while not yet a major cloud near what's going on in DC, it fits the pattern of the NFL bullying owners (being bullied is not imply you are innocent as bullies are often bullied for instance) going on in the NFL since the late 80s. Gambling is a big reason to expect growing future cash flows but bad books and accusations of fixing (especially by people you may not really control) not things conducive to good relations with the gaming industry. Selling at a discount would signal questionable bookkeeping. It is also just bad when your neighbor has to sell below what you believe is market.

Would be pretty funny to see Magic Johnson in our draft war room on draft night...high fiving everyone after our pick. 

I know you’re joking, but even if it happened today the new ownership group wouldn’t officially own the team until after  the approval at the next owner’s meeting, then the actual transaction happening—so we’ll have to wait on that! 

[Skinsinparadise]

From those covering this, I don't get the vibe that the NFL is concerned about the team selling at a discount.  Most covering this have said from what they gathered it will be an overpay.  Question is how much an overpay.  Of course the NFL would love the biggest overpay as possible.  But some suspect if this drags on the NFL will ultimately put pressure on Dan to move this forward, they want Dan gone.

Well good to see this thread is back to the full-on tailspin phase

 

[Skinsinparadise]

 

 

The Washington Commanders bidding process has been impacted by something outside owner Dan Snyder’s control: the Federal Reserve.

The cost of borrowing has gone up as the Fed attempts to tamp inflation with rate hikes — and the increased cost of borrowing has become an added barrier for those interested in the Commanders, two sources told Front Office Sports. 

“It’s a very big deal,” one banker familiar with the process told FOS. “A lot of rich people are saying, ‘I don’t have that kind of cash, and I don’t want to move my assets out of where I have them.’ It’s not like billionaires keep piles of cash around.”

 

[SoCalSkins]

Bezos is less impacted by financing than the groups cobbling their pennies together. 
 

Interest rates will be a big part of the new stadium calculations as well including PSL financing.

I wish we could just do like the pope where there's just a signal at the top of ES that I can just go there, see white smoke or not, and know if it's happy time or the same quarter century we've had.

I think voting him out is the nuclear option that the NFL doesn't want to do. There will be more intense persuasion before that happens.

When that sexy, sleek, modern, wealthy, man's man Jeff Bezos swipes the team away from the grubby, bony, poverty-stricken fingers of Josh Harris and his despondent entourage of lower-middle class billionaires, look to the west and you shall see a climbing pillar of fire, smoking into the heavens for all to see. It will be Jeff Bezos, flying his magnificent metal steed triumphantly to the moon and beyond, proclaiming that SoCalSkins and his righteous brotherhood foretold the prophecies with accuracy and decorum. You need no better symbol than that.

I see no problem with any of these these things.

Maybe he will even put Dan's face on that..."rocketship" as he sends it to the moon.

I've wasted nothing, as I've committed to following my son's team until the evil,  diminutive despot sells. I'm done with Snyder et al and will resume my fandom once the franchise changes hands. I will, however, peruse these forums; I will miss you all terribly if I don't check in to the organized chaos every once in awhile. 😁

you wouldn’t commit to follow your son’s team if Dan didn’t own the team?  I guess we’ve finally found the one positive of Dan’s ownership.

I wouldn't tarnish it with such an eyesore. I want to see the face of Mr. Clean, Mean, Trillionaire Team Buying Machine both inside and outside the rocket ship.

Brings up the “mystery bidder“ again. Not sure I’m buying it. It smells like another Snyder leak to try to make it look like there is more demand than there is.

But SoCal said Bezos meeting with JayZ meant something, that he would never waste his time if a bid wasn’t in the works, does that mean some of the stuff we think we know could be wrong?!
