Several semi-newsworthy stories/tweets/press conferences happened yesterday in the ongoing saga that is Dan Snyder selling the Washington Commanders. It has been quiet since the New York Post put out a speculative story about Jeff Bezos possibly selling the Washington Post to help persuade Dan Snyder, who reportedly doesn’t want to do business him, to sell him the team. The Post has been a thorn in Snyder’s side for years, but has been reporting on the toxic workplace Snyder oversaw during his more than two decades of team ownership. Jeff Bezos’s name started off yesterday’s little wave of Dan Snyder/Washington Commanders sale news. Charles Gasparino, who lists Fox Business Network and the New York Post in his bio, claims that his NFL sources say the Commanders sale will take place sometime between this Sunday’s Super Bowl, and the NFL owners meetings that will take place March 26-29 in Phoenix, AZ. He also said that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will bid after initial bids are in Nick Whiteside T-Shirt, and notes that Bezos is, by far, the wealthiest of the potential bidders who have been linked to this sale.I don’t know Charles Gasparino, but a brief stroll through his twitter page tells me that there isn’t a mom/mom’s basement joke that he won’t make when he is questioned. Everything he posted in his SCOOP is information that has previously been reported of speculated on by journalists who cover the NFL on a regular basis. Saying that Bezos will wait until the initial bids are in doesn’t mean much because the first round of bids took place around Christmas time last year. It was widely expected that if a sale takes place, it wouldn’t happen until after the Super Bowl, which the NFL likes to keep the spotlight on for the two weeks after the conference championship games.
