Standig: “Including Harris, 12 partners and “others” were mentioned. According to a person close to Harris who was not authorized to speak publicly, the final tally is expected to fall “comfortably” below the 17 partners referenced in some reports.”https://t.co/ZY40yFtjXh

The Josh Harris statement included names of some of the group’s partners including Andy Snyder. He is the CEO of Cambridge Information Group. Believe this adds another local to the incoming group.

Doors open up quick when Snyder is (on his way) out. Let the Commanders’ new stadium competition begin. https://t.co/8IEpyLXCT4

The first thing Harris needs to do once he gets his affairs in order is HIRE A GENERAL MANAGER (hopefully a young, innovative up-and-commer from a successful franchise), and give him the power to run the football side of the franchise.

I’m just gonna be honest. This is some dumb ass shit right here. Fans have wanted Dan gone for years , he finally is. So let it go and move on for the teams sake. Those choosing to continue shit like this are just being very immature!!! pic.twitter.com/uy6i5qEFRH

Sure, sex is great, but have you tried your childhood team being sold after a megalomaniac presided over decades of sexual abuse, financial malfeasance, treating fans like shit, and losing so much the team all time record dropped below .500? #commanders #HTTC #HTTR pic.twitter.com/1YIieDJ1YA

Hard to overstate how well received the news of the sale of the Commanders will be in the DC area.
List of priorities for the new owner in no particular order:
Build at RFK site.
Ditch Commanders name and look.
Go back to Burgundy and Gold – Call it Football Club – whatever.…— Scott Van Pelt (@notthefakeSVP) May 12, 2023
The uniforms are just fine and it’s still burgundy and gold..some of y’all seriously gotta stop living in the past

There is nothing “fine” about this…(just one example)
This is a color gradient that blends a transition of burgundy into white and it creates an optical illusion that makes it appear cherry red to pinkish. It’s pathetic and weird… courtesy of Tanya Snyder. https://t.co/qle5NFDF2w pic.twitter.com/jg7APBK8qj

In recent years, older fans of other teams, coaches, etc come to Fed Ex & can’t believe the lack of support they see in stands
Next year, the younger fans, players, etc are gonna be shocked by the energy & support in the stadium because they’ve never seen it here…I hope pic.twitter.com/redf2tHGbk

My response to those that say Snyder’s departure from the #Commanders does not make them a better football team is that………
It actually does

Yesterday was crazy with the Snyder to Harris sale.
Never got a chance to post our interviews from Rookie Mini Camp.
I chopped it up with @Commanders offensive lineman @B_Daniels71.
He said having his own locker “is for rent and you can’t buy a locker.”
Love that attitude! pic.twitter.com/tZ2ZAtN0or

Mentioned this on a recent pod, but expect to see Juan Castillo, a longtime OL coach, with the OL more this year. Run-game coordinator title may be coming.
Travelle Wharton will be official OL coach. Todd Storm likely candidate to replace Castillo as TE coach. pic.twitter.com/4olIGtv2Rz

Per source, I’m told after stalled trade conversations, the Minnesota #Vikings have informed RB Dalvin Cook that he will be released following the June 1st designation. This move will save the Vikings $9M in cap space. #SKOL pic.twitter.com/WIm64P3ytJ
