NFL Random Thought of the Day

NFL issues comment on news of potential Commanders sale
Posted by Mike Florio on November 2, 2022, 1:07 PM EDT

On Wednesday morning, the Commanders announced that they have hired a firm to assist with the potential sale of the team. Early Wednesday afternoon, the NFL issued a comment on the situation.

“Any potential transaction would have to be presented to the NFL Finance Committee for review and require an affirmative vote by three quarters of the full membership (24 of 32 teams),” Chief NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said.
The league also apparently hopes to address proactively any speculation that Snyder has been nudged toward selling the team, based on the Mary Jo White investigation.

“Mary Jo White is continuing her review,” McCarthy said. “We have no update on a timeline.”

Last week, Commanders outside counsel John Brownlee said during an interview with #PFTPM that White has not yet interviewed Snyder.

Given the potential price of the team and the multi-billionaires who may be trying to buy it, there will likely be no issue for the finance committee. And the key word is “finance”; again, the only requirement to owning an NFL team is having the cash. No other questions are asked, such as whether the person will be good for the franchise, the fans, the league, or the game.
Money talks. And if we’re talking about someone who can pay $5 billion, that’s all that needs to be said.

What about all the skeletons he has on the other owners? Is this an attempt to get him to shut up by seeing that he gets a huge offer?

This is why I hope the McNair's sell the team.

They're not truly serious about putting the best product on the field as possible. Never have been. They've been serious about making money though. Maybe things will eventually change with the stadium 1/2 full at best.
 
Report: Pressure from other owners forced Daniel Snyder’s hand
Posted by Mike Florio on November 3, 2022, 10:52 PM EDT


Plenty of theories have emerged in the aftermath of Wednesday’s stunning announcement by the Commanders that ownership is looking for a buyer. A new report ties the decision to one very simple dynamic.
Dan Snyder’s peers are telling him it’s time to go, and he’s apparently listening.

According to Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal, multiple owners “have confronted” Snyder privately in recent weeks regarding the question of whether he should cash out and move on. Even more, per the report, have told Commissioner Roger Goodell “that something must give.”

Wednesday’s news came from the “growing consensus” that it’s time.

It’s surprising that Snyder is willing to listen. He had seemed to be determined to refuse to sell, and to embrace the reality that a protracted legal fight would be required to get him to go away. Obviously, something has registered for him in recent days.

There has been speculation that Snyder has a broader strategy in mind, that perhaps he put the team on the market to reduce the pressure that has continuously been mounting for months. The flaw in this thinking is that Wednesday’s move prompted widespread jubilation from Commanders fans regarding the possibility that the franchise will be saved by the prospect of new management.

At this point, it will be incredibly difficult for Snyder to retreat to an all-caps-never refusal to sell. While nothing stops him from changing his mind, it would spark an even stronger outcry from those who have had a chance to envision a not-too-distant future that entails someone/anyone other than Snyder in control of what once was, and what should be, one of the NFL’s flagship franchises.

And so it appears that Snyder’s original investment of $750 million in 1999 will result in $5 billion or more, allowing him to fade into oblivion and enjoy the remainder of his days without being the target of so much animosity, derision, and flat-out hatred.

Thus, while it won’t be over until the paperwork has been signed and the money has been wired, it seems to be moving in that direction. Which is absolutely the right outcome — for everyone except those owners who enjoyed competing for championships without the Commanders ever being a factor.

I know a few people. Believe what you may. I don't post stuff like that often. I'm almost certain you can search the innanet and back what I'm saying. 2nd,4th,and take on salary for Cooks. Honestly, Dallas should've kept Cooper and his 20m vs paying Cooks 18m. Now Cooks in his feelings, liking trade tweets,cryptic tweets and he's supposed to be the cultural leader. Carsterio is puching Lovie out there to deal with the backlash like he did Culley and the Watson ordeal. Still dysfunction in the building.
 
Saints WR Michael Thomas is scheduled to undergo surgery repair of a 2nd toe dislocation he sustained in week 3 (believe it or not, the 2nd toe is the most commonly dislocated toe, though you might think it would be the big toe).He has tried unsuccessfully to rehab the injury. The surgery usually requires at least 3 months to return to play...........his season is over.

Yeah, he's done. He had a great 3 year run, but his age,injuries,and attitude, he's washed.

It's hard to judge what is opinion or fact from your statements. You often state opinion as facts so...

Difference is Caserio inherited the Derrick situation.

Caserio caused the Cooks situation.
 
New video shows Alvin Kamara attacking man in Las Vegas
Posted by Mike Florio on November 5, 2022, 12:56 PM EDT


Saints running back Alvin Kamara faces criminal prosecution, civil liability, and a league-imposed suspension arising from an incident on Pro Bowl weekend in Las Vegas. TMZ.com has obtained new video that purports to show Kamara attacking the victim.

A man whom TMZ.com identifies as Kamara can be seen throwing multiple punches at someone who ends up on the ground.

Others join in the attack, kicking and stomping the person.

TMZ.com reports that “sources” claim the alleged victim became violent before the attack shown on the video.

Last month, Darnell Greene sued Kamara for the injuries that Greene allegedly suffered. Felony assault charges also are pending against Kamara. A hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday, November 9.

Under the Personal Conduct Policy, Kamara remains subject to a six-game baseline suspension. The league most likely will take no action until the criminal case has resolved.

Kamara has not been placed on paid leave by the NFL. There’s no reason to believe the league will alter its position. On Monday night, the Saints host the Ravens.

All I'm stating is stand up, don't duck down. Yeah, he inherited the Watson situation, but he was pushing culley out there for answers. Now he's doing the same with Lovie and Cooks. Look, ever player should know they can be traded, there is no loyalty. By the same token, I don't believe in those fake contracts that the players have to be loyal too. Before they entertain the idea of trading a player, they should have a baseline with teams and trade the guy. I mean a 2nd rd pick is a pretty high pick, but it seems as though Carsterio isn't into improving the team. Think about this, Claypool, a big,fast, outside wr was traded for a 2nd rd pick. He's on a rookie contract also. Why not trade a 2nd for him, adding a outside weapon to the team, then trade Cooks and get your 2nd back? Doesn't that make sense to improve the team. I mean Hockenson was traded for a 2nd round pick and has 2 years left on his deal.

You can find fault with every HC/GM for stuff they did and didn't do... but if you're so right why aren't you in the NFL? You know people so it's not like you don't have the connections

I dont believe either one of the HC's were Caserio's choice.

We look at contracts differently. There's a signed contract do the work you agreed to do in the contract. At least that's what contract laws look like out here in the real world.

Agreed he botched the Cooks deal. Of course Cooks didn't help facilitate a deal with his actions. Hey Cooks, eat some of your per game bonus if you really want to be traded that bad. Otherwise shut up.

The real world and sports/entertainment deals aren't in the same galaxy, you know this. NFL contracts are the worse in all sports. Those contracts mean nothing. If they did, guys wouldn't get cut or holdout. Again, I didn't understand why they extended him anyway. He was on the books for like 13m and expiring.

Crazy as it might seem it actually does. With a badly needed new stadium and the right gm/hc combo that's a franchise, with its history and fanbase, that can go ahead and effin print money.. wouldn't be long before $7B looks like a steal..

Yep, the value of NFL franchises getting ridiculous. In one year the Texans went from a value of $3.7B with an operating income of $-20M to $4.7B with an operating income of $211.5M per Forbes
 
I thought the Waltons bought the Broncos earlier this year for like 4.65 M and if true would we expect the Washington franchise to bring more than the Denver team ?
Of course Snyder is fortunate to have a potential buyer who's even wealthier than the entire Walton family.
 
On film, Josh Allen's throwing elbow was torqued backward while he was attempting to throw. The mechanism is very concerning of a torn ulnar collateral of the elbow. Throwing a football is entirely different than pitching a baseball, so, while baseball pitchers with an UCL tear may notice a decrease in their speed and accuracy, football quarterbacks may not have any problems. But the injury should still be rested and rehabbed. He did manage to throw an incomplete long pass following that play, but that isolated play does not rule out future problems. Swelling will not have been at its max until 48 hours.

According to Forbes, Washington is the 6th highest valued team at $5.6B and Denver at $4.65B
