Dont Taze Me Bro Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 6 minutes ago, slinky said: The NFL really wants to expand into Canada and get a team in Toronto. If Apostolosusopsokdoplsodos buys the team they will relocate to Toronto and change the name from Commanders to Mounties. And we'll get an expansion team with Bezos as owner. I don't think that will happen at all. At least not any time soon. Goodell floated the idea of a entire division (4 teams) in Europe just last October. The Bills played a home game each season in Canada for a while, but that got scrapped. Expansion focus is on Europe now, not sure how an extra division would work.

FootballZombie Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 OK, so Captain Canada is prob one of the mystery bidders and not some late to the party newcomer. Just now, jjpomeroy said: Not saying Bezos as a minority partner. But if Apostopoulos would need partners.

From what he believes, Dan discovered that there was no path out of his issues -- boxed in. Dan Snyder is such a ****ing idiot he managed to fumble the bag of owning an NFL franchise. It's a truly impressive display of incompetence. Canton-worthy stuff right there. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) Harris and Fertitta have made bids, people with knowledge of the sales process have said. Commanders owner Daniel Snyder has blocked Bezos, who owns The Washington Post, from moving forward in the bidding process, a person familiar with the process said recently, because of his displeasure with The Post’s coverage of him and the team. Harris’s investment group includes Potomac, Md., billionaire and philanthropist Mitchell Rales and former NBA great Earvin “Magic” Johnson as investors. Leading bidders have been attempting to strike a deal with Snyder on a sale in advance of the NFL’s annual league meeting that begins Sunday in Phoenix, according to four people familiar with the sales process. But some of those people said they remain skeptical an agreement on a sale will be reached by then.

I’m sure he would post the name if he had confirmation. He’s not posting anything without multiple sources and lets Shefter put out the scoops. If I had to guess I would predict it’s the Clearlake Capital guys. Eghbali and Feliciano. They tried to buy the minority stake from Schar and Smith and they also bid on the Broncos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoVaSkins21 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I wonder what life would be like if the Snyders weren't A-holes and were willing to sell to Bezos? This thing would be probably be on a faster track to sale by now 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Keim's been hanging out on an island for weeks about there are two names that have no been disclosed, he said he didn't know who they were either yet. Grant Paulsen mentioned in a podcast the other day he heard also about 2 unknown buyers. I posted here at the time weeks back, Keim saying Harris touted the facility and Fretitta either did or was poised to tour the facility shortly -- and there were two others who have been below the radar and people don't know their name. So we got two different reports that Fretita recently is the underdog to get this. WP had one of those reports. Maybe it was them on both, I don't recall. Also, if I recall it was the NY Post guy who said he heard that Fretiita's offer had an expiration date. So between all of that and him being poised to tour the facility and then never did. I think its pretty obvious that there is a good chance he's not winning this bid. 9 minutes ago, SoCalSkins said: I’m sure he would post the name if he had confirmation.

I don't think he'd give you the name, he suggested at least weeks back he didn't know the names, but sometimes he will reveal some small tidbut, like we should know soon, or not sure how serious or something like that would be more his style Edited March 22, 2023 by Skinsinparadise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does that corroborate the stream of information from someone moving from outside of a sale (where information is easier to leak) to inside a sale (where NDAs make that a no go) the timetables match up beautifully. Well, the WP is back in play today, saying Snyder is still blocking Bezos.

RVAskins Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 For all we know, someone could come completely out of left field and buy the team. I don't have confidence that Dan Snyder won't screw up the sale like he screws up everything he touches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anselmheifer Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I’m surprised the NFL would let him block Bezos. He’s hurting the value of every other team if he doesn’t sell to the top bidder. And keeping out an owner that would bring even more clout and attention to the NFL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
