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.

Hot Take Football Fire

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.

Prediction Life Medium

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.

Opinion Football Mild

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.

Opinion Football Mild Subjective

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.
