Ding, Dong The Witch Is Dead – Dan Snyder To Sell Commanders

June 22, 2025April 15, 2023 by Mark Solway

The reign of terror… is finally coming to an end.

Dan Snyder and the Washington Commanders have reached an agreement in principle, to sell the franchise to Josh Harris and his group for $6 billion. The mark sets a new record for the most expensive sale in NFL history. It surpasses last year’s record of $4.65 billion set by the Walton-Penner group when they purchased the Denver Broncos.

Snyder bought the team in 1999 for $800 million.

Snyder and his wife, Tanya, a co-owner of the team, formally began a search for a buyer in November last year, when they hired Bank of America to seek offers for all or a portion of the Commanders.

Snyder Blocking Bezos From Bidding On The Commanders

Ever wondered what a spoiled billionaire kicking at the air like a young child would look like? Dan Snyder is doing it right now. Proverbially at least. Apparently Snyder is blocking Amazon founder Jeff Bezos from buying the Washington Commanders.

It is the adult rich-guy equivalent of, “I’m taking my football and going home.”

It’s petty with a capital “P”.

The Bank of America were hired by Snyder to help with the sale of the team, and they have told Bezos that he will not be allowed to submit a bid.

The reason for the block?

This week, Jeff Bezos reportedly hired the investment firm of Allen & Company to help him place a bid on the Washington Commanders. That is the same investment firm that helped the Walton-Penner group purchase the Denver Broncos last year, for $4.65 billion. They also helped David Tepper buy the Carolina Panthers in 2018.

The NFL would love for Bezos to be the one that buys Dan Snyder’s Commanders. He already has a significant connection with the league, with Amazon being the exclusive broadcaster for Thursday Night Football. Amazon made waves becoming the first streaming-only option in league history.

Commanders Add ‘Withholding Ticket Revenue’ To Scandals

June 22, 2025April 5, 2022 by Mark Solway

The hardest part of following the Washington Commanders’ scandals, has become tracking them all. That says something in itself. The latest allegation is that Washington did not share home ticket sales with opposing teams. Is it true?

A report from A.J. Perez of Front Office Sports alleged that, “the Commanders did not pass along the required 40% share of ticket sales to visiting teams.”

According to the report, at least one person gave information to Congressional investigators in the House Oversight Committee. The Committee has been examining the finances of the team and owner, as well as the hostile workplace allegations.

Since the article was released, there have been some legal back-and-forths from both sides of the equation.

The Commanders released the following statement:

The NFL has enlisted Mary Jo White to conduct an investigation into the latest sexual misconduct allegations against Dan Snyder, that arose from the recent House Oversight Committee roundtable. Her findings will be made public at the conclusion of the investigation. Commissioner Roger Goodell will then determine if the league will take any further action.

White is currently with the Debevoise & Plimpton law firm. She was also the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and a former chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

April 9, 2021 by Mark Solway

COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on the bottom line of sports organizations globally.

NFL teams enjoyed a reported average of a 7% increase in overall team value last year. So where did Dan Snyder’s Football Team rank financially amongst the other NFL franchises?

Expect a very potent Redskins offense in 2014

April 11, 2014April 9, 2014 by Allan Wright

Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins offense, had a very tough 2013 season. RGIII was coming off knee surgery last off-season, which really hindered his development. He didn’t have the off-season workouts that most quarterbacks and receivers have. He had to spend all of last off-season rehabbing his surgically repaired right knee.

So what can we expect from Robert Griffin III in 2014? I personally expect a healthy and rejuvenated RGIII that will be the comeback player of the year next season. He now has an off-season to develop his game and to start finding a rhythm with his receivers. New Redskins head coach Jay Gruden, who worked with Andy Dalton in Cincinnati, can definitely help RGIII become a much better quarterback.

What’s Next in Washington

June 22, 2025December 9, 2013 by Roger Stumbaugh

The last five games the Washington Redskins have played have been some of the most difficult to watch football that I can remember seeing in recent history. After each game I am left thinking, well, it can’t get worse than that. However that debacle that the team displayed yesterday was disgusting, embarrassing, and just plain shameful. Shame on the players, shame on Mike Shanahan, shame on the Redskins’ organization.
