Bezos wanted to buy the Commanders but Dan Snyder wouldn’t sell to him for political reasons.

He’s now had his eyes on the Seahawks because they’re likely to be sold in the next few years.

NFL owners really want Bezos to own an NFL franchise.  Amazon is coming at the NFL hard with Thursday night Prime games and likely more to follow-suit.

Hopefully Jeff is seeing the current train-wreck that is Carolina along with today’s debacle(s) and throws Tepp a sweet “make 50% on your initial investment and get out of Dodge” type of deal.  

Best case scenario for all, IMO.

I think there are some issues with owning a company that broadcasts games while owning a team.

“Jeff Bezos didn't bid on the Washington Commanders, but that might not be the end of a possible NFL relationship.

According to Pro Football Talk's Peter King, the league is "lobbying Bezos quietly, but hard" to purchase a team. Furthermore, King seems a good opportunity arising with the Seattle Seahawks likely the next franchise on the market.”

I don’t doubt that the league wants him but there may be some flack from some owners about him having stakes on both sides of the fence.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t Bezos owning a team and being an exclusive broadcast partner a huge CoI?

I don’t know how he’d do it but this has been widely know for a while now.  Maybe Amazon gives up the Thursday night games, maybe they get sold to someone else, or maybe the NFL just puts some terms in an agreement (Panthers can only be on Thursday night once every two years, etc?)

If there was any doubt it could be done, I’d think it would’ve been brought up when he pursued the Commanders and now the Seahawks.  Just sayin’

Well Bezos has enough money to make people bend the rules or create loopholes

    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
    • What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
