Sounds like speculation, guys on twitter trying to build a reputation of having sources so they get followers. Little doubt it is happening now, just relax and enjoy.

Can't we just wait until it's official?

Twitter is such a retarded place. I can take it for about 3 minutes and have to leave for 2 weeks.

This thread is a premature ejaculation. We're having a meeting:

Re: Josh Harris = New Owner!?
 

This is probably a good time to remind that:

1. Anyone can now buy a blue check on Twitter

2. Like JP said, someone like Adam Schefter or some high profile reporter will likely be the person to break the news once the team sale is done.

Re: Josh Harris = New Owner!?
 

Other owners need to approve before a sale can be completed, owners meeting this coming weekend, that is most likely when it will be announced

Re: Josh Harris = New Owner!?
 

Why are we stupid? Everyone knows the adage 'you can't believe everything that you read' and yet here we are believing something has credence because some guy on Twitter bought a blue check mark.

Put some weight in the source's credibility, for god's sake. If you don't know who is posting the information, then you should be assuming it's wrong until it's corroborated by somebody who you do know.

If you see Schefter, Rapoport, Jeremy Fowler, JP Finlay, John Keim, Ben Standig, or somebody like that confirming it then you can believe it. And if this unknown person on Twitter is right enough times and corroborated by other credible sources, then you can start lending some credence. Until then assume it's bullshit.

Jesus Christ guys, critical thinking much?

i just noticed the blue check mark, what does that even mean in the twittervers

Re: Josh Harris = New Owner!?
 

[quote=mredskins;1339809]i just noticed the blue check mark, what does that even mean in the twittervers[/quote]

Prior to the Musk Twitter takeover, blue check marks indicated that the account was a verified public personality account (i.e. celebrities, journalists, politicians, etc., etc.). However, nowadays, any yahoo can pay to have a blue check on their Twitter account.

I know that that sale of the team has been covered by the financial media. But, from the sports side, this type of breaking news will only come from the likes of Schefter, Rappaport, Fowler; or local reporters like Keim, JP, Standig, or Nicki Jhabvala.

Regardless of whom it is I can't see the other Owners turning it down, I mean anything has got to be better.

While you are basically correct, I think after 20+ years of torture and the feeling until recently that he would never sell, we may want to be a little more understanding of the desperation of some to get it over with. Although, something tells me that your response is also reflecting the emotional rollercoaster the fan base is on.

In my case I just get irritated at stupidity and I've long been dismayed at the sheer number of people in our society who get duped by fake news. This is not a phenomenon limited to sports; Trump espouses the lie that there was a conspiracy to steal the election, it gets amplified by 'news' websites like Breitbart, Info Wars, and even Fox News. And yet people believe it - despite there being no court cases in which the case isn't eventually thrown out - enough believe it to show up in numbers on January 6th threatening the peaceful transfer of power in our nation.

Our society's disturbing inability to think critically about what is real and what is fake is scary and it shows what can be done in a society without a free press. If that can happen here, imagine what is happening in Moscow and Pyongyang.

Bringing it back to football, I'd rather not see the lack of critical thought here on this site. This is supposed to be Commanders discussion for the knowledgeable fan. We should all be able to tell a credible report when we see it.

Bingo.

Re: Josh Harris = New Owner!?
 

Another way to think of it; how many people on the internet would you be willing to give a sum of money to? If they asked you for it, what thought process would you go through, what questions would you ask? Maybe thoughts might come to mind like, what are you going to do with the money, how do I know you'll spend it the way you say you will, is this possibly a scam, etc.

When money gets involved all of a sudden more people begin to think about their actions. Think that critically about what you read. Why be any less thoughtful with your trust in the words of others than you are with your money in the hands of others?

The price of losing actual money is way higher than the price/cost of falling for something that doesn't cost you anything. I'd rather get shit here than lose 1 dollar outside of here.

Without going back through the entire thread, i don't believe anyone stated with fact Josh was the new owner; it was all speculation and even the title has a question mark in it

Though I agree with your highlighted statement I am not sure that is occurring here in this thread.

I would relate the the information/ speculation in this thread to the gleeful daydreaming of a first grader about what he may get from "Santa" this coming Xmas.

Well said.

Re: Josh Harris = New Owner!?
 

Here is some related news to the Harris bid: [url]https://www.hogshaven.com/2023/3/20/23648965/washington-commanders-sale-news-magic-johnson-joins-josh-harris-group-contracts-have-delayed-payouts[/url]

Magic Johnson joins bid. Also Commanders push off payout date for signing bonuses for two months to 5/12. Typically this is done 15-30 days of transaction date.

I think a lot of the problems stem from people believe who/what they want, as long as it fits their desires, instead of using critical thinking to get to the truth.

This is totally thinking outside of the box but I wonder if the Lamar situation is held up by the Commanders sale

I don't think LJ is the right move but if you wanted to excited a fan base and get asses in seats your first year of ownership that be a big fucking splash.

if you spend on LJ you have to have the notion he has a high probability of injury, thus you need guys that can step in (JB and SH)

LJ has never had a offense at least from a WR prospective as ours it be very interesting to see.

Add LJ, continue shoring up the O line, new owner and our current D; that is a pretty exciting team.

With the stink of Snyder gone and a legit QB in LJ man, FedEx would be rocking week 1

I don't buy the idea of the Ravens letting him get away to come to DC though

they won't pay him Watson money (rightfully so)

I like Howell but he isn't Lamar, that dude is a FREAK athlete that has never had a true WR group to work with.

I am open to both options. I want to kick the tires on Howell, however if Lamar ends up being signed well then giddy up!
