I think they'd be my preference of the 2 options. But also, either option is 100× better than Shithead. So I won't be anything less than jacked the fuck up no matter what way it goes. Just get the sale completed.

I want a Stan Kroenke clone. Maybe this Rales/Harris group will be just that.

Kroenke has earned the moniker "Silent Stan" for his reclusive approach to media appearances, only speaking when he absolutely has to.

Stan Kroenke of Kroenke Sports & Entertainment*(KSE) owns five professional sport franchises: Colorado Mammoth, LA Rams, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Rapids, three of which have recently won their League Championship and/ or multiple Division totles over the last couple years.

Definitely worth keeping in mind the owner is not supposed to be a star, the quarterback is.

The owners just need to hire leadership and work on the business. If we get a guy that does that, we’ve won.

This.
Looking from across the pond it even feels weird at times that we know the name of the owner. Around here apart from a few iconic characters you hardly know who's owning the teams you root for.

At your age I heard it is more 8:45

Given the financial state of the team, I'm rooting for Bezos to buy the team. I feel like he can just write a check to deal with some immediate problems.

I do like what Josh Harris has done with the 76ers though.

I just can't believe that this is actually happening. Hopefully it'll bring some of the fans back. I still feel kinda lukewarm to the team but that's just me...

I think a lot of fans feel the same way. I'm just glad that it seems like it's going to happen, and I would be REALLY happy if the new owner did a "re-brand" after this season. I feel like as long as I hear "commanders"...it's always going to be a reminder of Snyder. Maybe the Rales/Harris guys having lived in DC are familiar with what Snyder has done to the franchise and would realize the fans would want a new name and look that leaned more to the past...but maybe that's a small percentage of us.

Well I'd say owner actually is more important than any player. Great owners teams win consistently, shitty owners teams lose consistently.

I agree. Whoever buys the team should rebrand. There were a lot of options suggested by the fans. Sentinels & Redwolves/Wolves were my favorites.

Let's hope the timeline is narrowing and this deal gets done in the next 2 weeks. I believe it's possible, maybe even probable, and that is amazing to me. My bet is on Bezos at this point, but I would be happy with either Bezos or the dual team of Rales/Harris. I see the Rales/Harris news as one last effort by Snyder to ratchet up the sales price, more than an actual new entry into it. That is just his MO.

Whatever the outcome, I think we won't know for a few years if the grass will be greener, or just less of a shitty brown color.

The adrenaline shot lukewarm or completely AWOL fans will get after hearing the announcement the sale is being completed:
