If I’m a new owner (I’m not… or am I? Hmmm.) I’m coming in and doing one thing: observing. I’m not rocking the boat. I’m not demanding anything. I’m bringing Rivera in and telling him this: ”Coach, I want to thank you for holding this ship together when it was taking on water. You did an absolutely phenomenal job and it has not gone unnoticed. You have an extremely solid reputation and everything that I hear and see supports that. I want you to know that I am here. I am going to let you do your thing. Let me know what you need. I also want you to know that I am going to be transparent. As a new owner, everything in this organization is under evaluation. I won’t make any promises beyond this year but I can promise that you and your staff have my full support this year and we’ll see where this year takes us. Thank you again for everything.” You forgot “we are also waving the Prime membership fee for you and your family this year” 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoVaSkins21 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 This story breaks and owners meetings are just around the corner. Just like what most on this board thought would happen. Here's hoping it comes to fruition. 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dude worth 6 billion and who owns 2 major sports franchises can’t close the deal on an NFL team. It’s kinda fantastic.

That’s not being a dick, that’s being a good business person. He isn’t buying a charity organization, he’s buying a for-profit business. My guess is he will find the vast majority of it himself but he will get different types of benefits from the municipalities. The biggest being infrastructure and transportation improvements to wherever the stadium is. Note: that’s also what Cooke wanted from DC 30 years ago, and they wouldn’t give him, coming off of 3 SBs, 4 SB appearances, and 5 NFC championship game appearances in 12 years. DC is going to be a problem for anybody. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANONYMOUS SOURCE. Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 No idea about Bezos as an owner , kind of a wildcard but he isn’t Dan so hard to top that in itself. I foresee his first orders of business to be canning anyone who drives a Tesla , then changing field sponsorship to Blue origin and changing the stadium renderings to resemble a more Phallic shape , and possibly putting a two sizes too big cowboy hat on Tuddy. ….😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon prime had the All or Nothing NFL series. It ended with Covid and got replaced with hard knocks in season on HBO Max. Ron did a season while at Carolina. Unless All or Nothing comes back I don’t think Bezos wants to give content to HBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ran out of funding so we had to stop going to the games. Like, he will make it EASIER to get there. Because he's not Snyder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
