lieu of talking about the offense of the quarterback.
We're talking about the report that Jeff Bezos has hired
an investment Bank
to
help him decide whether or not to buy the Commander's, which
seems unnecessary. When you got 120 billion, why do you need to
pay someone to tell you whether or not you should buy this team
and guess what? It's going to be expensive to buy the team
and also the value is still going to keep going. Yup. These
aren't bad Investments. The question is, do you have
the money to make the Investments? These are always good
Investments.
So, I don't know why he's doing this.
Unless you just doesn't want to be bothered with the details
which is one of the Privileges of being Filthy Rich miles. But
it feels like the first step toward Jeff Bezos making his
play to buy the Commander's which I would say every
commanders fan
wants to have happen.
I would think so. I mean you would have the richest owner in
what I do love sports right?
I mean This guy is somebody who, you know, pardon
the phrase, butt wipes his ass with seven billion dollars if that's
what
tanzanite or one
for the team, right. And you know, they're reporting those
that there weren't any that it seemed excessive well, I mean,
you could do it with less than 7, he probably could, but he
wouldn't really feel it when you're with 120 billion.
I mean how much are you really going to feel this 7? But oh
look at that. It's a little prick on
my elbow, huh? I guess.
Well like that's one thing that didn't.
Ins to me. But it's
I mean, if Dan Snyder
wants seven billion dollars, you might not get it from
anybody other than Jeff Bezos, right? I mean, the first
initial bids, there are also six point. Three billion was
the top one. So
we'll see what happens. But, I mean, if you're a Commander's fan
and you have this guy, who's got all the money in the world
basically and wanting to buy your team boy, that's a great.
Great thing.
Well and
we've seen the reports already and I don't know that I can do
it on this table, Dana Snyder. I don't want to sell to. Yeah,
he's
right. He owns the Washington Post and they break bad things
about me, so I don't want his money, right? Snyder has
an investment bank, that's helping him and they get paid based
upon
the value that the sale generates. So
hey,
that's that's
a No-No. If he's the one who's offering. Seven. He's getting
the team because nobody else is offering
seven and there's been this concern, all along that Bezos
is going to scare away all the other buyers and he probably
will because no one's going to want to get into an auction
with Bezos because Bezos is
going to win. Josh Harris is one of the
potential buyers
of the commanders. He was in it for the Broncos and we reported
he would have paid five billion for the Broncos but he didn't
offer five billion because if he'd Offered five billion,
the Walmart Moguls
would have offered 51. So then he goes in 52, they offer 53.
So he bowed out because one of these days we want to buy
a team and he doesn't want to drive up. The price is gonna
have to pay in the future because that becomes
the floor for the next team. So
he's not going to get into a bidding war with Bezos.
Bezos is going to get the team for whatever he wants and if
sevens and number seven is a number and you know what? It's
going to be worth 10 within the next five years. Anyway, so
just pay the seven
move on now. Easy to say because it's not our money. One
thing I've learned about really rich people is there as cheap
as really poor people
because they don't like giving money away. They don't like
wasting money and it becomes part of a chess match. If I can
get this for Less by pointing to this this this and that's
why the investment banking firm. Is there to
look at the books and identify liabilities and come up for
reasons why this number isn't justifiable, that's part of
the game. That's part of why you get your satisfaction when
you're really rich. I was able to buy something for less than
I should have
had to pay for it.
So when one for me like big freaking deal at the end of
the day but but sometimes that's what motivates folks who have
really nothing better to do.
Well yeah, the absolutely and you know I guess
maybe one day one of us will know what that's like. But
the other part of this mean, like you said that the value of
the Washington commanders is only going to go up and that's
especially because they're going to be able to build a new
stadium
and if you have somebody like a Jeff Bezos in place as opposed
to Dan Schneider The areas that are going to
open up for you, the Avenues that are going to open up for
you to build that new stadium and land for you to build that
new stadium that's going to also open up for you. So
there's a lot that will come for the new owner of
the Washington commanders, whoever that is but I mean especially
if it's Jeff
Bezos that that opens up a lot of doors.
That's something that someone in the know, told me at
the very outset it is if Schneider cells to anyone that person
will have the keys thrown to him or her. To the RFK site
and new stadium there and off you go. The problem is part of
the purchases
FedEx Field.
Which is the worst field in all of football. Maybe the worst
Stadium facility in all of professional sports haven't
been to enough to really compare. But I've been there
worst Press Box. At least
it feels like it's been there. A hundred years and it's been
there.
How long?
15 20. It's not a very old stating maybe maybe 20 25
years, I don't know the years go by
very, very quickly,
the older you get, you will learn that quickly enough miles, but
it hasn't been there nearly as long
as it feels like it's been there and that's part of what
you buy and what are you gonna do? What you gonna put their
you just going to tear it down. It's going to be an open tract
of land that maybe you'll you'll sell to the Walmart
crowd and put a Walmart there at some point.
