Dan Snyder reaches agreement to sell Washington Commanders to Josh Harris for $6.05B

Nope. I want to see a report that it's officially signed. Can't be doing backflips until there is a bow on it. 

That being said, for as insufferable as the Snyder saga has been, circa 20 years actually seems like a lucky break. I honestly thought he'd have an iron fist grip on the franchise until he was six feet under which could have been another 30 plus years.

It’s honestly hard to put into words how much this means. It’s not just about him being an embarrassment or forcing bad personnel decisions or picking a god awful name. It’s not even just about him being an absolutely awful person.

There was just an overwhelming hopelessness attached to the team with him involved (seemingly) into perpetuity. Win a game? Who cares. Chasing a playoff spot? Who cares. Draft a QB, hire a new coach, bring a new GM? Who cares. None of it mattered, because it can’t matter when Dan Snyder is still there. It inevitably won’t matter. That’s the lesson that’s been pounded into our brains and hearts for a quarter century, every single one of us (except Ace, god love him). Whatever it is, it will fail. And somehow this time will be even more painful and embarrassing than the last failure.

There’s no guarantee that we’ll win with someone else. But for the first time in 25 years, there’s no longer a guarantee that we won’t win. Today we get to celebrate the feeling that maybe one day there will be something to celebrate again.

Congratulations to Dan Snyder, who had as many playoff wins during his era as he did name changes. 

Congratulations to Dan Snyder, he had the only team in his era to not win 11 regular season games in a season.

Congratulations to Dan Snyder, who managed to own a team that started 27 Quarterbacks in 23 years.

Congratulations to Dan Snyder on his zero Super Bowl appearances and zero NFC championship appearances. Quite an accomplishment for only two decades.
