Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team

If I'm the new owner of this mess I am doing everything I can to get the fans back and get them excited again. Finances are for the accountants and Ron is here for at least the next year.

So yes, taking that shitty name and throwing it in the toilet would be on the table. Sadly, it probably won't happen.

Finances are part of the reason this team has sucked. Snyder has been gutting this team for money, and you see that affecting a lot of things. I'd rather that be the focus of the new owner, as opposed to tinkering with something that is irrelevant and largely being driven by delusional fans that think we're bringing the old name back.

Nothing is going to change in terms of coaches and front office this year, but that should be another priority as the season progresses.

Finally, the NFL wants this team to have a new stadium, so there will be pressure from the league and other owners to make that a priority.

Blah blah... they just signed Payne to 90 million and Allen to a huge contract. They bought Wentz in for 30 million. They're paying a 3rd WR a ton. Resigned McLaurin. Dan using the team as his piggy bank sure hasn't stopped them from paying guys.

Dan doesn't care what happens this offseason, since any major contracts won't come out of his pockets.

For every big signing they've done, there have probably been dozens of Andrew Norwell type cheap signings because Dan didn't want to spend a lot of money.

Snyder picked the name. It's a lock that the name is changing.

I'll take this bet if the term is within the first 2 seasons of the new ownership group taking the reins.

Ok what time frame a year, two?

Edit: Nevermind see you already bet. Don't want it to get too expensive for any party involved.

We can do the same time period, 2 years. I don't mind losing $100 for good cause(s). I won't bet anyone else tho.

I like the new helmets, that has made it much easier for me personally to accept Commanders. I don't love it, but I'm indifferent to it now, which is a massive improvement over where I started with this name.

Just don't see the name being changed what, 3 times, in 4 years? Don't even think the NFL would allow it. Also, Snyder will only have owned the team 1 year with that name, so I think the new owner(s) can still stamp it with his/their own track record.

I think I could stomach Commanders if they just went back to our old uniforms. Bring back the mustard pants please!!!! That is probably the only thing Bruce did right!

Re: Rumors circulating about Jeff Bezos buying the team

I don't see another name change happening. A new owner is going to have bigger fish to fry, mainly a new stadium. Rebranding once isn't ideal let alone twice within a short time frame.
