Obviously I don't have any way of knowing right now what's true or not.

But fwiw, I do know what's being said.

One somewhat reasonable explanation for the tease all week and nothing until Thursday or Friday is there are probably lawyers involved.

Plus to add to the drama the Redskins play-by-play guy up and quit Wednesday.



There's another wrinkle with all this in that the Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, who could easily buy the Redskins. The same way your or I would impulse purchase a candy bar at the checkout of the grocery store. Sadly though, Bezos buying the Redskins would take him out of the running to get the Chargers back home to San Diego.

Has Bezos ever shown interest in buying a team or in SD? Why would he split LA and devalue the team?

Sounds like Snyder is going to get voted out. This upcoming news must be really damning to have such a coordinated lid on it.
Considering where the team plays, could other folks that work in that town be involved?

Not a good time to be a Skins fan.

A man can dream.

The last 15 years have been misery.

Again I have no way of knowing how much of this is true or not. But it is what's being said right now.

Harrison Weinhold@RadioHarrison
This will be a story about how the front office for the past 10 years has hidden and protected men in the building against sexual assault and harassment allegations and legal action. Look at recent firings and retirings if you need specific names, but they'll be out soon

Front office and team personnel fucking media members in exchange for scoops and leaks. Protecting leadership, coaches, players from getting in trouble with their wives, etc and then using that information for blackmail, leaks and to keep people obedient (Gruden, Allen, McLovin).

it's a massive boys club + mafia-style organization where the loyal are protected and act with impunity while a gaggle of media reporters are all heavily aware and involved in all the above information - but say nothing because access is gold in a major sports media market.

We can trace this back to the catfish no one looked into because they were all feeding "her" scoops (JLC), RG3's dick pics, the cheerleader scandal, all the way up to today when almost every real story broken by media is a leak made available through horse-trading.

It's the most toxic organization in sports for over a decade. To think that level of toxicity wasn't pervasive off the football field is naive. They trot out fan favorites as window dressing while talentless leaders keep jobs because it's too dangerous not to. That's over now.

Just a quick download of logic in how news stories are put together.

1. source A comes through with big nugget
2. reporter has to get corroborating evidence
3. reporter writes the story, gets a couple people to confirm - or (bruce Allen) leaks all his personal emails
4. go to the team a couple days before you publish, tell them what you know, get a reaction
5. team goes in full crisis management mode - FUCK CHANGE THE NAME. FUCK FIRE THOSE DUDES. FUCK FUCK
6. Story drops.
7. "yeah we fucked up, we're changing stuff now - see? the name?"

Let's all live in reality here. They're handling this no better than they handle a bad player signing or a bad leak. It's obvious CYA (cover your ass) stuff that won't work. This is sex scandal stuff and possible Rooney rule violations (again, only Bruce could know that). wake up

the team made multiple women sign NDA's and paid them off after he sexually harassed or assaulted them. This isn't news if you've been remotely paying attention to the team. Its the entire front office culture there and has been for over a decade.

I sure hope the impending scandal involving the Redskins does not involve McVay while he was there. Some allegations include sex and drug use all the way up to Gruden with an alarming organization-wide involvement/culture.

Would not be surprised at all if the league doesn't impose a forced sell by Snyder.

The delay on this story release could well be because of the NDAs. It's quite possible the Post has smoking gun proof but can't run the article because of them.

I'm not trying to white knight for McVay, but he seems too square to get involved with that sorts of stuff.
