He would bring the potential for more money than any other owner in the league

Not gonna lie. Kinda want Bezos at this point, but would be perfectly fine with Harris.

Seeing Ishbia trade for Durant the other day made me think he would have been a very aggressive owner for the Skins. Not sure if that would have been a good thing or a bad thing.

The talk of owners not wanting to compete with a guy as rich as Bezos is most likely false.
No one has to compete with anyone else's money. That's why they have a Cap. It keeps Jerry Jones from buying everything.

There are reports from Boston that John Henry and the Fenway Group have made an offer over $6.5B. No one knows for sure how much money Henry has, but he supposedly controls more than $600B of other people's money in hedge funds.

That's not true. There is no salary cap for coaches. There is no salary cap for stadiums and practice facilities. No cap for GM's, executives, and medical staffs.

No. But intelligent men who have made a fortune know how to budget.

The richest of the rich don't overspend for anything. The cap is a means to keep player spending in check.

Name an owner who overpays everyone on his team staff payroll.

Snyder has overpaid at almost every turn. He took a really good franchise and has pretty close to ruined it.

Supposedly the sale is not going well. Harris and the mystery bidder are having a hard time reaching 6B without co-investors.

Supposedly bidders don't think the Skins are worth 6B when you add in the cost of having to fund a stadium.

Synder may use this as an excuse to hold on to the team. Other owners are hoping Bezos comes in and saves the day.

Some guy who's really plugged in said this on Sheehan's show. Name escapes me.

Again, we all need to become Bezos fans quickly. I am not sure why people are resisting this.

The choice to me is Bezos or Snyder...take your pick. I have made up my mind but respect the opinions of others.

Yeah, I've come around on Bezos as well. Bezos was never an issue for me. I don't want Jay Z playing GM with his Roc Nation athletes. Bezos is a game changer.

I am not sure we have another choice to be honest? If it is about money, which I would assume it is with Snyder, Bezos is the only answer.

This was always my concern. Snyder wants the money period.

Is there something you aren't telling us skinsdad?

Did you win the lottery and submitting a bid?

Are you the mystery bidder?

"Look" I'd appreciate if you wouldn't talk to me like I'm a child. Second, just passing info.

There is absolutely NO WAY Snyder cannot sell now.

I will admit, Jay Z sitting front row at a Lakers game with a Commanders hoodie on doesn't hurt.
