Can you secure the land in short order technically from the federal government. You bet. But will they? That's an unknown. Bruce and crew couldn't get it done. Jason and crew couldn't do it either. But from what I gather it would be chased hard and fast if there is enough consensus among the local politicians. Looks like they have some momentum now. And I gather this ownership group is much more politically connected than the prior one. The one good thing that its mired in federal as opposed to state government is the state legislatures have compressed timelines where you got to hit those short windows aside from special sessions. The federal government store on the other hnad is open most of the year. I was listening to the DC councilman who is really pushing this hard and it didn't seem to feel it would be too hard to get the land from the federal government if they push it. But will see. It came off a bit too optimistic for me. Edited May 19, 2023 by Skinsinparadise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re talking about a multi-billion dollar transaction happening between dozens of billionaires. There’s nothing simple about it and not doing strict, deep due diligence is not a precedent you can set just on the honor system lol. It’s super serious business and there’s nothing unusual about it taking a couple months. That’s still really fast as far as large corporate transactions go! My company is valued in the tens of millions of dollars and purchased another similar-sized company...each had just 1-2 owners. So we are talking about an exponentially simpler transaction that took place. And that still took a few months of due diligence. I can't imagine the level of difficulty that billions of dollars and vetting 15-20 different owners would entail. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is more risk associated with the smaller transaction in this example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVAskins Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I was fooling around with Google Bard at work. Bard is Google's experimental AI. I asked it "who owns the Washington Commanders." Keep in mind I did this on May 19th. It came back with the following reply. Does Bard know something we don't know? The Washington Commanders are currently owned by a group led by Josh Harris. The group also includes David Blitzer, Robert F. Smith, Mark Ein, and Ted Leonsis. The sale of the team was finalized on May 24, 2023, for a record $6.05 billion. The previous owner of the Washington Commanders was Daniel Snyder. He owned the team from 1999 to 2023. Snyder was forced to sell the team after being investigated by the NFL for a number of allegations, including sexual harassment and financial impropriety.

Skinsinparadise Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Brian Davis in his 2nd junkies interview was asked if this is about suing if he doesn't get the team and he goes he never sued anyone ever and of course not. Apparently, he was lying. Yep Russell remembered too, that actual subject was broached in the interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVAskins Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Brian Davis saw this entire thing as a way to make money. Make an outrageous offer and then sue when it's rejected. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 PFT:Brian Davis’s company sues over failed Commanders bid Just nuisance lawsuit but it would be our luck, if this delayed the sale to Harris.

Urban Echo seeks a court order forcing the sale of the team to the company. ..........Now that should be very easy to verify shouldn’t it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

profusion Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 From the PFT article: Quote There has been at least one report raising the question of whether Davis’s financial backing traces to Saudi Arabia. Asked that question on 106.7 The Fan, Davis said, “My money comes from white people . . . who are Jewish, Italian, and Sicilian.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
