Jeff Bezos is using the Washington Post's investigation to force a sale of the Redskins so he can buy the team

Jeff Bezos has wanted to buy the Redskins for the last, like, three years. Is this like a billion-style coup? So it's not billionaires versus billionaires. This is like mega billionaires versus billionaires.

While Snyder was eventually forced to sell, Bezos did not buy the team; they were sold to the Josh Harris group in 2023.

The next two weeks are make-or-break for the return of sports

I feel like this next week and a half, two weeks, is going to be make or break for the next six months to a year. We have baseball hopefully starting next Thursday, basketball bubbles going, scrimmages about to start, hockey, and then training camp. If these can go off without a hitch, I think we're back.

Major sports leagues successfully returned in late July and August 2020 (the 'Bubble' era) and completed their seasons.

The Washington Redskins should change their name to the Red Wolves

The Redskins are changing their name, hopefully, to the Red Wolves. Dan Snyder, if you're listening, the Red Wolves is the way to go for this.

The team initially became the Washington Football Team and eventually the Washington Commanders. 'Red Wolves' was rejected, reportedly due to trademark issues.

Mitch Trubisky's 75 rating in Madden 21 is insane

Mitch Trubisky's a 75 in the new Madden. Insane. He was 79 last year. Goddamn.

Rating a player in a video game is subjective, but given Trubisky's performance in the 2020 season (he was eventually benched for Nick Foles), 75 was arguably generous.

The 2026 World Cup final was boring and sucked.

It was boring ass soccer. It sucked. It made me thankful that the World Cup's over, that football's back. Now we can get back into real football, which I'm very, very thankful for. But that was actually, I think that was the best way to end the World Cup, because I'm totally fine with no more soccer now.

Fanatics Fest is a cynical place designed only to take money from fans.

It also seems like the most cynical place ever. Like, you can go to an autograph festival or a fan festival and you know that the guys are being paid to be there. And they're still like, happy to see, interact with you, all that shit. It just seems like every single thing about being at that place is just designed to take money from the people that are there.

Subjective critique of a corporate event.

Bryson DeChambeau is being targeted by selective rule enforcement.

I think that Bryson definitely did it and it's definitely against the rules. And he got caught for it and they enforced it against him because he's a bad boy. He's had some run-ins before. I don't think the R&A or whatever, I don't think they're particularly happy with Bryson right now.
