Leonsis comes to terms to buy the Wizards!!

[RedskinsDave]

Talk about great timing. The team hits an all time low with the fiasco with Blatche and follows it up by telling us the best owner in town will own the Wizards too.

This is such good news for the DC area...

Ted is just the man to bring some respectability to this team.

Yes!!!

Leonsis is probably my favorite owner of all time for any local sports franchise.

Abe was a good and generous man but very private, and the "Squire" quotable.
Leonsis is the whole package.

Now, if we can just talk Ted into buying a certain local football franchise...

Now, if we can just talk Ted into buying a certain local football franchise...

if he buys the skins or ravens,he'll have to sell the hockey team and the wizards.
550 mill and the arena is very low is'nt it?

Over JKC too?

Over JKC too?

I like JKC for hiring Beathard who hired Gibbs and bringing us all the SB wins. But I would rather have dinner and hang out with a guy like Leonsis.

JKC was an odd bird. I knew a guy who used to be the comptroller for the Redskins during JKC's tenure. Early in his employment with the 'Skins he was sitting in his office talking to another staffer when JKC walked in, paused for a silent moment and said..

"Well.... aren't you going to STAND UP?"

Great owner, odd bird. Even with SB's, I give the nod to Leonsis.
