Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
Does anyone really believe he's going to turn his nose up to $6 or $6.5 BILLION even if that offer is from Bezos?
Stop. This is all posturing. |

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
Also, if Bezos is out, all the other bidders know they won't have to bid as high to get anywhere close to what Bezos would bid.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
I don't understand why more people don't understand this. This very forum is full of Chicken Littles grabbing every little headline and going OH MY GOD HE'S NOT GOING TO SELL WE'RE STUCK WITH SNYDER FOREVER OMG.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
Completely agree. It seems so unlikely that he's not going to sell at this point. Of course, he will make it a miserable experience for all involved, most particularly us.

I think we all understand that it is more than likely posturing, but I also think we all know that Snyder isn't a rational human being, and anything goes with this petty little man. I believe the sale is moving forward. Most signs are pointing there. The Bezos thing could be true...could be completely false. We'll know soon enough. |

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
I sort of think that they decided to sell when Tanya got booed at one the games or events. Seems like the timing fits. Can you imagine the backlash if after dangling the prospect of a sale Dan then backs out. Mob would burn Fedex to the ground, which lets face it wouldn't be a bad outcome. Still think he is selling though, other things have been put in motion. House sale, move to London etc.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
Quote:
- he has no cash flow to support his lavish lifestyle - so he took a $55M loan without his partners' consent, which is against the by-laws - he committed bank fraud by representing to the bank that he had that consent and secured the $55M loan - the information alleged that Dan has been inappropriately taking money from the team, a claim to which the minority owners all waived their rights to when they sold their stake. But the other NFL owners won't take kindly to this either. You can make the shield look bad but if you start doing untrustworthy things with money they'll look at you as a risk. - With the information coming to light, the other owners all know how cash-poor Snyder is, which means they know he has no shot of securing a stadium, which they all want because of the revenue boost and valuation boost it represents for the whole league. Ergo, Snyder becomes even more useless to the other owners when it comes to contributing to the future bottom line of the NFL. So even if Snyder didn't have to sell because he can't meet his debt payments, the other owners will force him out because he's a liability and useless with respect to growing the business. Has nothing to do with how Tanya is received, Dan only cares about money. He has none, he's in a billion worth of debt, and he has no prospects to help the NFL advance itself. He's both useless and a problem. He's good as gone.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
Seems like a rather clumsy way to drive up the price. Not surprised. Dan has to know it’s over.

I get that fans are shell shocked at this point, but you can't get caught up in every headline.

This is interesting, gotta wonder how many more skeletons might lie undiscovered in Danny's closet if he wants immunity from any liability haha.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
It feels like every time there is a new report regarding Snyder, the more bad he looks.. It's kinda unbelievable how NFL owners are allowing those stuff to happen.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
“Never wrestle with a pig because you'll both get dirty and the pig likes it." - George Bernard Shaw
The NFL owners have been playing the game Snyder's way for too long. They should simply inform him through back channels that he'd better get the sale done and take his money to the bank prior to the upcoming owners meeting or he will be voted out in that meeting. I feel that the owners already have all the damning evidence against him they need from the first report to crush him if they want to do so. I think the NFL may have suppressed that report in order to give Snyder a chance to get out the easy way and spare the remaining owners any more problems.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
Fun fact about Bezos. It was my idea first to open a bookstore, then sell everything to the entire planet and finally put Captain Kirk in space but he stole it from me.
