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.

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

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

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
 

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.

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team
 

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:
