When you’re rich and need to make a big decision, you do a four-day darkness retreat. When you’re filthy rich and need to make a big decision, you hire someone else to make the decision for you. https://t.co/KjD0yI7F55

Rick Snider’s Washington says right on cue, here comes Jeff Bezos to bid on the Washington Commanders. Gimme two minutes. pic.twitter.com/EOxRVyUHa2

— Rick Snider’s Washington (@Snide_Remarks) February 24, 2023

From our story: It remains unclear whether Jeff Bezos will bid on the Commanders. But his association with Allen & Company represents a concrete sign that he is conducting thorough due diligence on his prospective bid.

How about this Jason Wright qoute (via @michaelpRTD on the show just now). Feels like a huge thing for team prez to say.

“I think Eric, just like the rest of us, sees the transition as one that’s good for the organization. On the other side of it, there’s nothing but upside.”

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) February 23, 2023

That was a major quote from Jason Wright. The first public comments, distancing, and the framing of a Snyder-less future as good for the organization.

Put that on a T-shirt.

Me – “Ron, why was Eric Bieniemy the right fit for you?”@RiverboatRonHC – “it really is about family. You just really see him wanting to get to know people and get involved with people other than just day to day practice.”

In the grand scheme press conferences mean nothing, but I think there’s a clear effort to raise Bieniemy’s profile. And good for him because he deserves it. Comes across as a strong communicator and a leader.

— Marshall (@EstCommand) February 23, 2023

We know that offseason press conferences guarantee nothing for Sept.-Dec., but #EricBieniemy came off as smart & high-energy. Gave very good answers, including regarding having not gotten an NFL head-coaching job. Pumped that he’s here & excited to see what he does. #Commanders

There were a lot of current Commanders players in attendance for the Eric Bieniemy press conference.

Terry McLaurin was one of those players.

He said, “the offensive coordinator sets the tone for the offense. I’m really excited to get to know him first.”

I think the fact that he’s not assuming the victim identity is pissing a lot of people off who wish he would.

#Commanders OC Eric Bieniemy takes the high road when asked about LeSean McCoy’s comments: “He’s a future Hall of Fame runner. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. That’s life, You got good, you got bad. It doesn’t impact me in any way. The one thing you learn in this… https://t.co/AqEbh9hqfV

There should be no questions on how great of a man/coach Coach Bienemy is. His leadership has a direct impact on the player/person i am today! 10+ years learning under one of the greatest coaches of all time.. and i cannot wait for him to continue to prove doubters wrong! https://t.co/hyCo3Bly9E

The Rams won Super Bowl LVI, then spent 2022 spiraling down into a hellish confluence of circumstance and self-destruction.

So did their head coach, Sean McVay.

This is the inside story of their fall, and the climb out – into an uncertain future:https://t.co/edYO1zPdyZ

I wonder how many times in NFL history a former HC returns to the same team in an assistant position. https://t.co/Sdsb7bDoXr

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) February 23, 2023

Remember when I made a whole video about how the Saturday hire would piss off Colts assistants who would want the HC exposure that they otherwise would not get?

Remember when I got repeatedly told “no Brett, Irsay knows what he’s doing! This will be fine!”

Well…here we are. https://t.co/S5qW0sX0Th
