"With Washington commander's owner Dan Snyder. Snyder parted ways with his minority owners two years ago, it was over a $55 million loan that they didn't know about. That's according to a new report from ESPN that says that loan is now the focus of a federal financial misconduct investigation into the commanders and its owner. When three billionaires who owned 40% of the then Washington football team franchise sold their shares in 2020, it wasn't an amicable parting. ESPN reports not only did the minority stakeholders not know about a $55 million loan that Dan Snyder took out with NFL general manager Roger Goodell's blessing, but that when they asked the NFL to investigate financial misconduct, they were pushed into mediation to sell their shares in the team. That disputed loan is now the focus of the investigation, according to ESPN sources, who say a grand jury has subpoenaed documents detailing the loan. The Washington Post reports should Snyder sell the team, he's asked Goodell and other NFL owners to shield him from legal and financial liability. Should any information from the league's workplace investigation leak. Meghan cloherty WTO news. Snyder and the team have denied he asked for protection from the NFL.

Snyder meddled in sexual misconduct investigation of Commanders, report says
"A House report says the NFL's Washington commander's created a toxic work culture for more than two decades, ignoring and downplaying sexual misconduct. Some former female employees were asked at a hearing in February, the number of times they were sexually harassed by men at the top levels of the organization. Over a hundred, too many to count. I worked there for a year and a half, so mathematically, that would be roughly 515 times. The report from the oversight and reform committee says commanders owner Dan Snyder was involved in the behavior. Congress stepped in after the NFL did not release a written report of an independent review of the team's workplace culture. The House report says Snyder interfered with the independent investigation and the house committee's investigation by intimidating witnesses and conducted his own investigation that cast him as the victim.

"Metro center, 39° in Frederick. It's one 40 on Thursday, D.C.'s attorney general Carl racing announced he is suing the Washington commander's owner, Dan Snyder. The National Football League and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. The consumer protection suit alleges they all colluded to mislead D.C. residents about an investigation into the team's toxic workplace culture. With this lawsuit, we're standing up for D.C. residents who were repeatedly lied to and deceived. They have a right to know the truth about the companies. They support with their hard earned dollars, the commanders, mister Snyder, the National Football League, and Roger Goodell deprive them of this right. Reporter John doman was at racing's news conference, and he joined Sean and Hillary with more. Well, if you've been following the commanders and all their different scandals over the years closely, you didn't really learn much about that, but what you did learn about was how broad the city's consumer protection law apparently is because that's what's being used in this case. It is a civil action, but basically the idea is that any time a company misstates the truth, lies to you about something or it just isn't forthright and straight up, they can find you for that. That's worth a monetary infraction up to $5000 per infraction, and basically that's what the city is going for in this case. Where there are any indications from Racine's announcement that maybe more legal action could be coming. Well, there's a whole situation involving the team's finances and things that may or may not have been reported second books that kind of thing. He did sort of hint that more on that could be coming in the future. He also did lobby, the attorneys general in Virginia and Maryland to maybe do a little bit more with their investigations into the team and anything that may have happened in Virginia or Maryland. But I think most of what's alleged has happened in Virginia. There are a lot of people who left the team who weren't very happy about circumstances, their John. Have we heard from any of them? Yes, two of them were actually there, Megan Ember and Melanie coburn. They were there. They were very hopeful that this was sort of bring the justice that a lot of the team employees who have made release the report, their hashtag, they're hoping that this will help sort of bring that about. Make no mistake. The Beth Wilkinson investigation and report that was pretty much summarized in a very brief press release and that I think a lot of people were expecting more out of one of the goals here is to make a lot more of what she found in her investigation very public and bring that out into the open right now. All right, John, the team itself. Yes, there was a statement attributed to the owners Dan and Tanya Snyder that says they want to see the truth come out as well. They look forward to sorting out fact and fiction as they put it. They don't necessarily agree with a lot of the inferences being made by the city, but they said that they welcomed this opportunity here. John doman.

"Hour, the growing list of possible buyers for the Washington commanders. We've learned Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos may be interested. News outlets report a source close to Bezos as saying he's looking into buying the team and that he might bring on music mogul Jay-Z as an investor. The sources say both men are interested, but it's not clear if they would make a joint bid or maybe separate ones. Just yesterday was commander's owner Dan Snyder and his wife Tanya announcing the hiring of Bank of America to handle any potential sale. Daniel Kaplan is senior NFL writer for the athletic, he was with us a little earlier on WTO to talk about whether interested buyers are jumping the gun. We don't know for sure that he is selling the team. He talked about options just a few weeks ago. I was told he was looking for a minority partner. But at the NFL owners meeting last week, Jim merci, Indianapolis Colts owner made some very forceful comments that he thought Snyder should be ousted. Other owners have similar sentiments. I don't know if it's enough to push him out, but clearly sentiment has been moving against startup for some time. Bezos and Jay-Z have both been pegged as possible NFL owners in years past. Earlier today, in fact earlier it was last night that we were first reporting this part, Bloomberg reported that media mogul Byron Allen is also planning to make a bid. So if it does turn out to be Byron Allen or Jay-Z, they would become the first black majority owner of an NFL team.

"We're following this hour and we bring you more about what was just mentioned on CBS News, new developments tonight regarding the future of Dan Snyder with the Washington commanders. Indianapolis Colts owner Jim irsay has taken the harshest stance yet against Snyder, speaking with reporters at today's NFL owners meeting or say says he believes there is merit to removing Snyder as the owner. I think it's something that has to be given serious consideration. Says he thinks that there could potentially be 24 votes to remove Snyder. It's the magic number of owners who would have to agree to kick an owner out of the NFL entirely. The owners were meeting in New York tonight with Tanya Snyder, Dan Snyder's wife representing the commander's organization also team president Jason Wright. We've got a live update on the way with a sportswriter who was there today at the NFL meeting, coming up in just 6 minutes, so stay with us. Meantime, lawyers representing more than 40 former Washington commanders employees are threatening to sue the NFL. This comes after reports that their clients participation in an investigation into allegations of a toxic work environment may have been used against them by the team and Dan Snyder, D.C. attorney's Lisa banks and Debra cats claim after participating in the report done by Beth Wilkinson, many of their clients faced harassment retaliation and even public disparagement. This after they were promised their identities would not be disclosed if they took part. The letter to the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell comes after an ESPN article claimed that lawyers for the commanders use the report to come up with an enemy's list. If true banks and cats call the acts morally reprehensible, the two are asking for a meeting with Goodell and also for the report to be released and they claim the main reason they were told it wasn't was to protect the identity of witnesses. In response to all this, a commander spokesperson says neither the team or Dan Snyder was ever advised by the NFL, Wilkinson or anyone else about the progress of the investigation or who had been interviewed in connection with it, either during the investigation or afterwards. Also Snyder in a letter to other team owners says the ESPN report contains false and malicious statements and that ESPN ignored the team's efforts to correct falsehoods. He also says the allegations that he hired lawyers and private investigators to look into other team owners and Goodell is patently false and intended to erode the trust in goodwill between owners something he wrote he takes quite seriously. Mike Murillo WTO news. WTO has reached out to the NFL for comment, but we believe they're quite busy at the moment. New this evening an update to a story we first brought you about a night ago, fairfax county police have arrested a suspect in the rape of a woman in her hotel room in Vienna, Virginia. Police say he entered the woman's unlocked hotel room and physically and sexually assaulted her. A man who knew the victim chased the suspect and said that suspect pointed a gun at him. Surveillance cameras at the hotel on Westwood center drive and at the eastern market metro station captured images of the man, fairfax county police wrote on Twitter tonight they've have a suspect in custody, though there's no other information about him yet.

There is no plan to vote next week on whether Dan Snyder should remain the Washington commander's owner. That's according to three people with knowledge of the agenda of the upcoming NFL owners meeting in New York. Snyder's ownership of the team became a hotter topic yesterday following an ESPN report that detailed his alleged efforts to influence other owners and the league office in order to maintain control of the team. Snyder attorney John brownlee says, his firm is looking into possible legal action against ESPN because of that report. I served as a prosecutor for a long time. And at its highest levels. And people come to prosecutors probably like they come to reporters with a lot of information. Sometime it kind of crazy information.

That's the focus of a new report from ESPN. Tisha Thompson helped break the story and joined us earlier on WTO with details about what exactly they found. We talked to more than 30 sources, owners, league office sources, teams horses who have told us that cider tells people that he has enough information to blow up and that's a quote blow up other NFL owners and commissioner Roger Goodell. Snyder faces multiple investigations and has reportedly told associates he will not lose the team without a fight. ESPN reports Snyder told an associate, the NFL is a mafia all the owners hate each other, but a longtime team owner denied this saying instead, all the owners hate damn. ESPN says it's been told by many owners and top league execs they'd like to see Snyder removed as commander's owner. Well, Dan Snyder is responding tonight through one of his lawyers. Attorney for Dan Snyder and the commander's John brownlee. I don't know where this comes from. These are a bunch of anonymous sources of who knows what their motivation is.

I'll just start with the names that you just heard there Justin, what does it mean to you to be in that great company at the wide receiver position? Oh, it's a blessing, honestly. To be in company with those type of names, hall of Famers at that. So I guess you can say I'm doing a pretty good job so far. Yeah, I mean, I think you're doing all right, okay? You guys, you guys have started the season four in one. What has Kevin O'Connell and staff brought to your team? They brought a lot. Just the connection with KO, him being a player's coach, just connecting with us ever since he got here. It's been a great working with him and the rest of the staff. And I feel like it's just a fresh air, you know? Just with the new staff and the new players coming in and we feel confident about this team this year. Yeah, it's obviously working out really well for you in this entire team. We love to see it. All right, so we know about all your talent on the field, right? And that's important. But we did see on your Instagram that it only took you ten minutes to catch your first fish. There you are right now with the fish. So listen, I've been fishing before and there's a reason why they call it fishing and not catching. What's the key to the immediate catch there? I have no idea, honestly. I guess I guess it was just the beginning of luck, me being out there for the first time. And catching the fish and like ten minutes. So I guess it's the beginning. I couldn't tell you how to have good technique or anything. So don't ask me. Did the catch any more after that? Because that's probably the real key. No, I gotta keep that. We gonna keep that on the safe side. All right, we're one and done on the fish. Okay, so we have to talk about the Gritty because I think you do the best Gritty I've ever seen. And you probably hear that from everybody, but a lot of people try to be like you, okay? So what do you think the Gritty has become as it's associated with you, but just kind of like taking off in general as people try to be like you. Yeah, it's crazy. Well, first of all, it's just crazy how far the Gritty has come. From, you know, me just doing it at LSU was teammates just being funny and goofy to now it being one of the best celebrations today. So for all of the kids around the world doing the Gritty and putting their own little mix to it, I love it. I love seeing the different videos and different people just trying to hit it all around the world. All right, so you talk about the kids doing the Gritty. We got a couple people on NFL live who like to do the Gritty too. We're going to have you rate the Gritty. So this is what we call grating the Gritty with Justin Jefferson, the best grittier that there is. We're going to start with Adam Schefter here, Justin. Just check out this Gritty and I want a real time. One to ten scale. How's he doing? It's like, I give it a one. Oh. Burn for Justine. Hey, Justin, he also suffered a knee injury from this. I believe it was like an MCL tear. So that's why it was bad. That's why it was so bad. It's literally adding insult to injury or maybe vice versa. All right, now Dan Arlovski, okay? Watch this one and rate this Gritty on a scale of one to ten. I'll give it, I'll give it a 5. Oh. He got the motion down pad where he just got to get the footwork down. So I'll give it a 5. Okay, that's a very generous of you giving it a 5. I feel like he's hopping too much, right? Like he needs it. He didn't even be like a little smoother, maybe. I don't know. I act like I could do it. I can't. So don't ask me to do it. I tried one time as well. I needed to see that one. We need to see that one for sure. Some things would probably have to happen for me to get to the point of doing a pretty good there. Thanks so much Justin Jefferson for joining us here on NFL live. We appreciate you and good luck this week. Appreciate you. I feel great. I feel great. A 5 from the legend himself. I'm in. I'm in. You know what they say in life, Dan. You get what you deserve. I deserve the one. Yeah, yours is bad. But you're an effort. No one's a good question. Do they give me a 5? I'm gonna take that right there, chef Dee. Chef, you see. That's pretty good. Yeah. You know what? I think he demonstrated some good rhythm there. You know what's funny, chef, he said, you got to get the footwork right. I've literally heard that from my coaches since I was like 8 years old. When you're a badass. I'll take that, man. Appreciate you, Justin. Thank you. And the funniest part I thought Dan would be insulted by the 5 and Dan's like, well, man, oh, let me pat myself down. The best part is you pot stirring going, well, this, I don't know, he's kind of lacking a little bit he's too chopper. I've never done it.

Never a dull moment in Washington, and that was a quick encapsulation of what happened this week. Adam, can you add any more context to how all this played out? Well, Ron Rivera felt bad about it and obviously wanted to explain to Carson Wentz what he meant by his comments, which he felt were taken out of context. He was just talking about how other quarter quarterbacks have had more time to establish themselves on other teams. And so the commanders week began by losing their fourth straight game on Sunday to Tennessee on Monday, Ron Rivera makes their remarks, then he has to meet with Carson Wentz today is the report from ESPN about Dan Snyder and the franchise. And tonight, they close out their week in Chicago on the road in a short week against the Chicago Bears in Thursday Night Football. crazy weather at Chicago right now, by the way. Dan, does anyone, does anyone feel a little bit bad for Carson Weinstein? It's weird that everybody just jumps on the first opportunity that he can to kind of like that. So, okay, I want to ask you a question. I do feel a little bit better. I'll be totally honest. As a human being, you feel a little bit bad. Everyone takes time. All the time. So do you see this having an effect on whence, especially with the context of what he's dealt with lately? Yeah, I do, because he's got a track record of, or at least you hear that he has a track record of that. You go back to the Super Bowl and Nick Foles and how Nick Foles winning that Super Bowl impacted his relationship in Philadelphia. And then they're drafting of Jalen hurts and, you know, kind of, you know, Marcus and Mina kinda brought my attention to it as like he's a roller coaster ride. You know, sometimes he's his highs are as good as anybody's and then the lows and it seems like a lot of times the lows are him trying to kind of prove himself so much to other people and you kind of get concerned that tonight is the perfect storm, so to speak that coming off of this conversation of this comment by Ron Rivera is he going to go out tonight on Thursday Night Football only game on and try to go prove that his coach is wrong. I mean, not paying attention, but like whatever you do tonight is not going to change that coaches perception of you as a player. You know, so you've got to try to compartmentalize it. Yeah, listen, man, y'all know me. I'm the last to feel mad for somebody, especially when they made a $100 million, but I do as well, bro, because here's the thing too. And I think I will carry some thought in that. And I think people need to as well because when it comes to Carson Wentz name, we have this overall arching conversation about his failure alone.

"Miss practice often. The fact that he missed yesterday was concerting, but it now looks like the colts were holding them out in an effort to get him right as right as possible for Sunday. And how about this? Cowboys quarterback, dak Prescott, upgraded today to limit it at practice, which is interesting and we'll see whether or not that gets improved or upgraded again on Friday. Cowboy's not ready to rule him out of Sunday Night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles just yet if he can't play obviously Cooper rush would be the start of the plan had been for Cooper rush to start on Sunday Night dak to come back maybe next week against the Detroit lines and one other injury note, no practice today for saints wide receivers Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry as well as cornerback Marshawn Lattimore. Goodness. That's something to keep an eye on. You should have seen the sparkle in Marcus spears eyes as you're talking about dak, potentially being emotion. He's trying not to show too much. Let's do that to me. Don't do that to me. I can't help it. Okay, our cowboys reporter Edward joins us now and Ed, you caught up with cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones this afternoon. What did he tell you? Yes, Stephen Jones spoke to a few reporters before practice today about the team's expectations for when dak Prescott does return from that fractured right thumb. The front office anticipates significantly better offensive productivity to combine with a defense that's clearly established itself as one of the most dominant in the league. Jones referred to Prescott as a franchise quarterback and while he praised Cooper rush for doing what he said was a hell of a job and protecting the ball, the cowboys aspired to score more points upon returning a starting quarterback they described as one of the best players in the entire game. They're scoring average of 18.6 points per game is identical to that of the Carolina Panthers and they just fired their head coach. Mike McCarthy's team led the NFL in scoring last season with Prescott starting at quarterback for all but one game, even McCarthy has described this as a defense first team in justifiably so. The cowboys have led have held each of their first 5 opponents under 20 points for the first time in 50 years. Micah Parsons believes that sustainable, but clearly the cowboys would rather not depend entirely on historic defensive feats to be successful, especially when they're paying a quarterback $40 million a year. Yeah, we'll see if that $40 million quarterback ends up playing this week, either way, we'll see him back soon, sounds like thanks to Edward or for joining us here. And Ed talking about that vaunted defense. We've heard plenty this season about how good Dallas pass rush is, but here is a scatter chart, guys. We love these on NFL live. No, it's not Dan. To really help visualize how much better they are than the rest of the league. Okay, look at this. On this chart, the further to the right a team is the higher their pass rush win rate is, the higher on the chart a team is, the higher their defensive pressure percentages. Look at the cowboys. They're all the way up there in that top right corner by themselves because they are the best at both. And yes, that is music to swag. Ears, you see those big nods there. It's 'cause yeah, he loves scatter charts or splatter charts, whatever you want to call him, Dan. But anyway, what does that mean to introduce me to those? I know. What does that Dallas defensive front Dan mean for Jalen hurts this week though? They got to go ride Adam. What's that Robert Frost? The best way is through. You have to go right at that. It was the road not traveled anymore. You got to go right at this Dallas defensive front. You did that touchscreen the other day when it came to going inside out right at Micah Parsons. He's the best pass rusher in football. He's a very good defensive player, but they've got to go right at him. You know, it'd be interesting. We haven't talked about it much this week, guys. Jalen's legs. You know, not only in the scramble plays, but also in the designed run place. And in Dallas has not seen a run game that utilizes the quarterback legs really since Arizona, I think like week 16 or week 17 last year when Kyler Murray ran for 50, guys, Daniel Jones, two weeks ago, ran for 80 on them. And not all of that was designed. So, you know, we've talked about this matchup in search detail, but really the strength of Jalen's game. We haven't really touched on it. And I think as long as their philosophy, Philadelphia is we are going to run right at you and really use Jalen's legs. Sometimes creating, but also designed, that could be a very good success rate for their offense. Yeah, Daniel Jones ran for 80 and saquon Barkley in that game averaged 5.8 yards per carry as great as this Dallas pass Russia, and they are truly great as illustrated by that excellent scatterplot. They have somewhat of a weakness when it comes to stopping the run and that of course is where Philadelphia is so strong. Look, this clash between the Dallas defensive line and the Philadelphia offensive line. Like, if you like trench warfare, this is the game for you. But I would contend that the threat of that Philadelphia run game when you know they're gonna lean on it very hard to mitigate pressure and avoid third downs, presents a unique challenge for Dallas. Dallas says they want to be the best defense in the NFL. I think it's between them and San Francisco to me, this is the ultimate test. Not only can you get after the quarterback, but can you stop the run when you know they're going to run the football? I'm going to have to see before I decide who's really the best defense yet. It might be the best battle in the trenches that we see all year. And the good thing is it's not just this week that we see it. But Marcus, let's make you talk about the eagles, okay? For a minute. Is this the week we see Cooper rush's lack of experience finally show up on the field? Potentially, boogie. Right now, the eagles are 25th against the run, but I think it has a lot to do, obviously, the lion's game earlier this season. And then also they played from ahead a lot so teams are probably trying to just ground it out and not have that offense with the ball in their hands, but the pressure is going to be a whole Cooper rush. I don't think this is one of those games where Dallas at the line of scrimmage is going to be able to just line down and run. And when you get to the past, look at this. Like this is the eagles defense on the back end with slaying Bradbury. Those guys are man couple of corners, but they also take the ball away. Total QBR for quarterbacks. They lead the league. Yours for average, they lead the league, defensively. And the completion percentage you see it there. So look, we've had a honeymoon. All right? We've talked about how much. They've been, they've been able to be because of the run game. I talked about how comfortable you are playing quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys offensively. A lot of that lens itself to how they've been able to run the ball. And the defense playing so well. This may be the first time where Cooper rush actually has to make the rose to win a game. Or to come from behind. So I'm interested to see if this game plays out that way if we still have this love affair going on with Cooper rush at the end of this game. Check this out, 'cause I think the cowboys can't win unless galloping CD lamp play great Marcus. If I was a quarterback and I ran up to the line of scrimmage and I spiked the ball, I clocked the ball on that individual play the passer rating is 39.6. Quarterbacks throwing to Darius slay and James bradberry the starting corners for the eagles this year have a passer rating of 38 fold. Oh man, all right, that's interesting. That's a good way to put it in the context. Also, we did Robert Frost's dirty earlier, okay? So we both kind of had the quote wrong. The quote is the best way out is always through. Yeah, I was basically close. Don't do that to her. Like, bob frost. Well, that's the latter part of the quote. Anyway, all right. You know what's coming next? That's too smart for us. It's time for the dance back. Let's go, Dan, the horses

"Eagles against the cowboys and dinner Alaska will tell you exactly what Jalen hurts needs to do to have success against the dominant Dallas defense. Also, chiefs bills where we have live reports from both teams, Marcus spears is going to tell you if the bill's defense needs to do anything different on Sunday. And then how about Justin Jefferson? He joins the show. He's on a short list with a couple Hall of Famers just three years into his career. He also rates the Gritty. So we got a few people on this show who have tried to do it. It hasn't been great. And he's going to tell you how he feels about him. Yeah, I am. That's Dan or lossy, you got Marcus spears and Mina chimes here of course. Guys, we've begin with a developing story out of Washington, 30 plus sources have told ESPN that commanders owner Dan Snyder had been digging up, quote, dirt on other NFL owners and commissioner Roger Goodell. Tisha Thompson, one of the co authors on the story has more details on the report. In interviews with more than 30 people, including team owners in high ranking league executives. ESPN has learned Snyder has told associates he's used private investigators and other sources to gather enough secrets to blow up several NFL owners and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Snyder thinks he has enough on all of them a former senior commander's executive told ESPN. He thinks he's got stuff on roger. The NFL is a mafia Snyder recently told another associate all the owners hate each other. That's not true, a veteran owner told ESPN all the owners hate Dan. Sources said they've been told Snyder instructed his law firm to hire private investigations on Goodell, and at least 6 owners, including Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Historically one of Snyder's closest allies. Jones recently told confidants that he might not be able to protect Snyder, any longer. Jerry Jones declined to comment on the story, the commander spokesperson, also denied that Snyder hired private investigators to track other owners and commissioner Roger Goodell. For more, let's bring in one of the co authors on the piece, Seth wickersham, so glad to have you here Seth. And that was a very quick look at your vast reporting. So what else can you add? I think that this thing is just beginning. And I think it's not just that Dan has told people that he is collected dirt via private eyes. I know that he denied it and his law firm, which is usually how they go through with these things, said that they're unaware of anybody who's been tracking the commissioner or other owners. And that might be true. But it doesn't change the fact that Dan has told this to people whether he's bluffing whether it's just a scare tactic, it hasn't gone over well. There's a lot of owners who are angry at him, and we're angry at him before all of this. And I think going into next Tuesday's meeting, I don't think that anything's going to happen with Dan. I don't think some decision is going to be made. But I do think there's a chance for a conversation on him, which really hasn't happened in those meetings. Why is Jerry Jones such an important element in all of this? Well, you can argue who's the most powerful owner. In fact, there's an executive in our story who says that the most powerful owner of the NFL is Dan. Because nobody will act on him. But Jerry is the most influential owner. And when he changes on something on an issue, he usually ends up getting his way. He's upset about this. We reached out to his spokesman asking if Dan had reached out to him since we had come to Dan with some of our reporting and what it had showed. And the spokesman declined comment. That doesn't happen very often with Jerry Jones. And if you look at the pictures, they obviously were talking on the field and the commander of social media made a big deal with the fact that he was on the field talking to Jerry before they played two weeks ago. Jerry doesn't look that happy in that picture. In fact, he's not really smiling. Yeah, I mean, and a lot of times he is, right? That's a good observation. Okay, if the owners wanted to make a move to get Snyder out, what would that look like? Well, there's the easy way, which is three quarters of them in 24 owners would just vote him out. And they can do that at any time. However, it's unclear if there's the appetite to do that. And they've actually talked about different ways to address this. One of the hidden issues with Dan is that he has no prospects for a new stadium in February looked like he had so much leverage between Maryland and Virginia, all these powerful politicians lined up. There's nothing going on with that stadium right now. And the owners are thinking about ways to use that against him. This is revealing about that the ownership circle, but they care more about some of the business issues that Dan has caused the league in costing his fellow owners money than a lot of the cultural issues in the bad press. And I do think that they are looking at ways if they can't vote him out to figure out a way to transfer ownership permanently to Tanya. And they're quick to remind. Remember when Donald Sterling was forced out of the NBA for her racist comments years ago, it wasn't because Adam silver in the owners voted him out. It was actually because of his wife who moved him off of the family trust. And if there's a way for them to transfer ownership to Tanya Snyder, who they really prefer working with and have a lot of respect for, I think they'll do that. Yeah, Tanya Snyder, as you alluded to, is Dan Snyder's wife. All of this reporting in the full story is available on ESPN dot com. Very interesting. You hear some of the hard truths of the business side of the NFL here amongst many other things. Thanks so much to Seth wickersham for joining us here. NFL league meeting set to take place next week as we get Adam Schefter in here and you heard Seth referring to that Adam, do we expect this to be on the agenda when the owners get together? Well, Seth touched on a number of points and no, Laura, it is not expected to be on the agenda. It doesn't mean it couldn't come up for discussion amongst owners, but it's not something that they're planning to discuss going into that meeting, which will be a brief one day meeting. Now, that doesn't prove them from talking about it. And there are people who believe that Roger Goodell would not be the one that would take Dan Snyder's team away from him and would have to come from the votes of 24 owners. But as Seth and Dave and Ada and tisha Thompson laid out in this particular piece, the support of Jerry Jones certainly seems to be waning for Dan Snyder. And if the support from him is not there, it leads to a whole host of questions about what his future with the team may be. Adam, here's a reminder of just some of the recent events for the Washington franchise under Dan Snyder. In August of 2020, reports surfaced that 42 women faced harassment in the workplace in sexual harassment claims were made against Snyder. In December that same year reports surfaced at Washington had reached a $1.6 million settlement back in 2009 with a former employee who had accused sexual misconduct against Snyder. Then last summer, Washington was fined $10 million by the NFL for workplace culture and his wife Tanya Snyder was named the team's co CEO. Then, today's report dropped. Let's bring Mina chimes, Marcus fierce dean orlowski back in here. Mina, how does today's report fit in with all the other allegations surrounding Snyder? You know, it affirms something that I think many of us suspected, which is one of the reasons why Daniel Snyder is still an NFL owner, despite the fact that the criticisms and controversy section of his Wikipedia page is longer than the career section, is the fear of mutually assured destruction, which shouldn't be surprising, by the way, because when the government looked into Washington's culture, they found that Snyder used the similar tactics to silence and intimidate witnesses, but it doesn't make it less stunning. And I will say this, Laura, it's easy to read stories like this and hear about the reasons behind the owners in action and feel desensitized or that any of this is futile because nothing will ever happen. But I would really caution against that because the most important thing here more so than how the owners view Snyder is the fact that he was accused of enabling sexual misconduct and actually committing sexual assault himself and in my view has yet to face meaningful consequences. That is the most important thing. And it is something that the NFL can still address. When they looked into Snyder and Washington's toxic workplace cultured last time and put out this report, didn't put out the report that will consider reported was essentially covered up. Now there's a second investigation conducted by Mary Jo white and this one must come out because while we can not compel the owners to push out Snyder, all of this makes that very clear, we can call for more transparency than there's been. And we can fight off complacency, which is, of course, the

"This is your fault. No, I'm just kidding. Okay. I have it up now. I have my personal, you work off of my personal Gmail drive, and then I write off of my work Gmail drive. Oh, really? Sometimes. It depends on what depends on what's going down. Okay. All right. Well, why don't you, I can't remember what we did. I think Peter was the last one who took the quiz. You want to take the odds I'll take the evens? I'll take the odds. Okay. Go ahead. All right, Albert. Question number one, the category is in celebration of Rob Gronkowski's retirement. How many Gronkowski's played at least one snap in the NFL, this is not sanctioned by Gary, but I'm gonna offer you .25 bonus points if you can name the Gronkowski brothers who played in the NFL. I believe the number is three. And it's Dan and Chris also played in the league and then the youngest I believe is Gordy. He didn't, I don't think he made it to the NFL, but he played at Kansas state and the oldest was the oldest was a baseball player. Incorrect. Is it four? The answer is four. You forgot about Glenn Gronkowski. Yeah, no. He's the youngest one. That's the one who played the Kansas state, right? Yep. Glen. He made it to the league. He did, he played. Boy, I just had his pro football. Fullback for the bills. How many games did you play? And he was on the New England practice squad. You won a Super Bowl. Did he really? Yes. He played. I knew Dan and Chris did, but I didn't know the youngest one did. He played 8 offensive snaps for the bills in 2016. And that's like his entire career was. I think he can remember all 8 snaps. Okay. I saw him play in high school. I'm disappointed in myself. He's like, well, he went to high school and buffalo. Because rob was the only one that didn't go to hire. He went to his last year, high school was like in Pittsburgh or something. Yep. Yeah. Yeah, Glenn stayed up there in western New York. West Seneca maybe? I want to be misremembering Amherst with Seneca, williamsville, williamsville north. He wasn't a baldwinsville B and that's all that matters. Damn it, I'm disappointed in myself. That should have been a layout for one. Next one is geography. You, Albert breer, famously, or infamously. Spurred Bill Belichick's onto Cincinnati catch phrase, and I think 2014, right? Yeah, it was when they won their first Super Bowl in ten years, made me look like a real genius. They've got blown out by the chiefs. I actually think so he got blown up by the chiefs. And I was asking if they had done enough to build a champion around Tom Brady with him getting older. I don't think that they lost another game that year. They wound up winning three of the next 5 super bowls and playing for the next 5. So apparently they had done enough to build around Tom Brady. Yeah. But that was the year of the famous on to Cincinnati. Press conference, my question to you is what NFL city is closest to Cincinnati. Indianapolis. That is correct. It's an hour and a half. Yeah? Most people would have said Cleveland. Crown jewel. But I went to school in Columbus, so I have like an idea of geography. Plus I always do that drive during training camp. Okay, all right. Very good. All right, question number three music in the arts Albert, which band has more RIAA certified platinum records, the band Boston or the mighty mighty boss tones. What's the. RIAA what? Certified platinum, which one has more platinum albums. Platinum albums, okay. I'm gonna say the mighty mighty bosstones. Oh. That is incorrect. The mighty mighty boss tones had one. My guess is for knock on wood, right? 'cause I thought like I thought Boston was kind of like a one hit one. No, Boston had some hits. Boston's catalog was fairly deep. Gary and I got into a fight about last week's numbers. So we were doing two hits. I feel like my Boston's were around for longer than Boston. That's why I said they were around forever, but they just had the one breakthrough hit. The impression that I get that album. And then Boston just sort of, yeah, Boston was big and like the 70s. The debate last week, Albert, and you will find this as laughable as I do because we're about the same age. Connor was trying to claim that the offspring was a two hit wonder. Oh, and I was like, there were three hits on smash. No, they were around for a lot longer than that. Was that like that was like already around 2000 maybe, right? It was come out and play was like mid 90s. I want to say like 94, 95, I think. Maybe that far back. I think so. Boston was more than a feeling. It was Amanda. It was smoking, rock and roll band. I mean, they were yeah, I mean, that was the height of arena rock. As Conor and I both know after reading their Wikipedia page. 5 minutes ago. I always remember the cover of the greatest hits record that was like a UFO landing on. What was the album was jock rock? That's what it was called, right? The albums that you could buy, like they had the commercials on TV, right? Yes. That's what it was, yeah. Different two different things. All right, that's what I call music volume one to three. Boston was definitely on now one. It was a big now, and then at the underlying said that's what I call music on it. The one that came out in 76. Question number four, this is fashion is the category. Pat patriot, the iconic logo who formerly appeared on the Patriots helmets. What color is his hat? Brown. Red. Is it Rhett? Red Albert. It's a try. But it's red. Is it red? Yeah. So I just clinched the worst floor, I think, right? It depends what kind of bonus point Connor just goes rogue with the bonus points. We'll see. I'll give you a chance. I haven't in my head is brown. No. It's all red, white, and blue. And I thought the thing that would trip you up is the current one, the Elvis logo, is blue on the hats blue. Yeah. That was the curve ball. Okay, question number 5, Moneyball category. Again, chance to earn some bonus points here. Albert Ohio State has 6 alums attempting more than 300 passes in the NFL named the only one that has more touchdowns than interceptions in his entire career. Mike Tom Zach. Kent Graham. Tom's at times. Tom Zach is a good guest. Tom Zach. Holds all the times that's got probably the most yards, right? Huh? Is that leads in everything cumulatively, but he.

"Which by the way, I don't care who you are. If I'm in a conference room and I'm staring at just slowly decaying pizza and nobody's touching it like I'm the fire started there. I'm getting that pizza. Was it like 5 boxes like sitting in the middle of the conference table or was it just one pizza? Do we know? Good old Adam in his lap. There was like a limited if there was a limited supply of pizza that could change the dynamic, you know? Yeah. There's like 5 boxes stacked there. You might feel it more at liberty to go get a good piece, you know? You could argue that the Wall Street journalist had two of the best Goodell stories of the last decade. There was the fake Roger Goodell Twitter account or there was the Roger Goodell adjacent Twitter account and then there was and then there was the Roger Goodell pizza. So it was during ray rice. What's the fake account? It was his wife that was running it right now. This is wife. Yeah. Right. Was that was the flight gate related? I believe, right? The deflategate thing was, yes. If a mistaken. Yeah. And then the pizza thing was during ray rice and yeah, I mean, more importantly than anything, nobody had the pizza. It's kind of sad. They huddled in the night in an effort to figure out ways to prove the commissioner wasn't covering something up. They ordered pizza but nobody ate it because they waited for Goodell to eat first. But Roger Goodell did not eat the pizza. That's a fantastic anecdote. I'm kind of jealous. I know. I know you work your whole career to get something like that, you know? Honestly. Gonna be a standard question in every interview. Who ate the pizza? Well, roger Geller has been such a good heat shield for the league. Over the years. And Wednesday, I guess was one of those cases. He was in front of the House oversight committee in Washington D.C.. He did it via Zoom, but man, this thing went off the rails so quickly, and look, you can, we can get into some of the wackiness and a little bit, certainly if you want to somehow feel even worse about our federal government at this point. This is pretty good viewing. But the big takeaway I want to get to here is Daniel Snyder obviously had been invited to testify and declined. Now, according to Carolyn maloney, the U.S. rep from New York's 12th district. Daniel Snyder will now be subpoenaed for a deposition next week as this continues to drag out all the awful behavior that has been alleged that went on in the commander's turn office and all the allegations that Daniel Snyder participated and knew about all of this. But I guess my question now is it seems like we've been hurtling toward this end point, but then the end point keeps on sort of hurtling back with it, is there any chance that Daniel Snyder is pushed out in the way that Jerry Richardson was because it feels like everything continues. I don't know what's the metaphor I'm looking for here. It's like we're piling stuff up and it's like, oh, once again hit the ceiling and then you look up and they're like, oh wait, there is no ceiling. Like it's just gonna continue to pile up right to infinity. I don't know what the analogy is, but I thought it was I thought like I honestly thought it was notable going back to the Super Bowl that roger actually explained the process for voting and owner out. Because Rogers so careful about what he says, especially when it concerns, let's call him his 31 bosses, right? You know, the packers obviously not applying to that. That I can't imagine he actually would go through the process for voting and owner out. The way he voluntarily did in LA a few days before the Super Bowl without getting sign off from some of the other owners. Now, my understanding is they haven't come close to the idea of actually sitting down and having a vote. Because I don't think any other owner wants to set that precedent. I don't think, I mean, these guys all have dirt under their fingernails. They don't want other people digging through their trash. I don't think that they want to go through the process of voting one of their own out. But that doesn't mean they're above trying to pressure him and try to raise the temperature in the room to the point where Daniel Snyder would feel the amount of shame it would take to sell a team. And that obviously that threshold is a lot higher in this case than it is than it was in the case of Jerry Richardson. What Jerry Richardson did was horrible too. You can say this for him. A lot of people think that they forced him out. They didn't. The story ran an SI and he left on his own volition and did it be, I mean, for a lot of the reasons a lot of the reason I'm pointing out here, he didn't have a succession plan, so that was part of it. Obviously the value of the franchise was at an all time high. But I think part of it too was like, it's just time for me to walk away. I don't think Snyder's ever going to feel. I don't know if senator will ever feel that level of shame. But I wonder how high the temperature is going to get turned up on him because I do think other owners want him out and want him out without having to vote him out. And so it'll be interesting to see how stuff leaks out over the coming months if he comes out of this and still has the team. Where maybe other owners find creative ways to turn the temperature up to try to force them to sell. Gary, do you want me to do you want me to fix your metaphor? Yeah, please. I think I nailed it, right? So what's going on here is sort of like my dishwasher in college or my sink in college, right? And you know, it's like the first time in your life that you live with roommates. And someone isn't doing your dishes for you. And they start to pile up and you're just like, well, I mean, we can't physically use the sink. Somebody is going to have to wash these dishes. And no, it just, you figure out ways to shove more stuff into the sink. And then it just keeps getting higher and higher until one day we just say, let's just throw away all the dishes. No. Do you know the breaking of Connor, you're at the breaking point is? It turns into like a Jenga tower, right? Like when you don't want to be the one who puts the dish on top. There's knocks a bunch of others off and now all of a sudden they're broken dishes everywhere. So that's the breaking point. It's like the Jenga tower. You know what I mean? For us it was, I'll never forget this. So it was it was this mass of disgusting like a half a semester's worth of dishes and we picked up a roommate halfway through the process when another one left and they were just like Campbell's soup cans in there as well so there's the residue from the soup that was leaving sort of a sort of a smell. And then the breaking point was someone just came over one day and this is the most random thing ever. Someone came over to our college house and made us like a full.

NFL Bans Dwight Schar From Future Ownership Interest in Any NFL Team
"Minority owners coming in at some point, but he is the he is the sole owner after buying back the minority shares from Dwight Schar, Fred Smith and Bob Rothman. And what was a very contentious uh, I think And this is that I don't know if it's been publicly put out like this, But I think it was a takeover attempt by the minority owners who were looking for a greater evaluation on on their sale of their minority piece, and all of this negativity started to pop up. In the Washington Post started to pop up and and social media. These accusations were thrown out there, all of which, incidentally, Dan Snyder has claimed responsibility for even though he was not directly implicated in any of those things. Um, And the news today is twofold. One that Daniel Snyder is it was fined $10 million. At least the Washington football team was fined $10 million. The clarity on that is that $10 million will go to charities, which which Tania, his wife and Dan will choose. So it's a $10 million fine, but it'll all go to an important cause. The other thing. That I think is not insignificant in this is that Dang Dwight Schar, who was one of those minority owners, and a lot of people believed was involved in the smear campaign on on Daniel Snyder has been banned for life. From the NFL. So, uh, while we while we want to vilified, um some of the things that went on inside the Washington organization, the the campaign It was put out to embarrass and try to force. Mr Snyder to Snell also came to light and again, I'll read it, I'll say it again. Dwight Schar, who was a minority owner, has been banned for life from the National Football League.

"The whole thing this stories the memories the the traditions you know and it wasn't just in the games that he coached against maryland which were to a year if not three a year if not for a year for thirty five years or thirty something years. It was the duke carolina games. Nc state fans. Virginia fans maryland fans wake forest fans. We all watch those do carolina games. We all watched duke play kentucky. You know in the tournament there but it benefited the rest of the league. That duke was such a brand. And i think that there was an appreciation of jealousy. Yes but there was an appreciation for it. But i the first thing that i wanted to say is him retiring. It's a personal thing for a lot of us because we there's been an intimate connection to duke for any acc school player coacher fan. He's been part of your your sports watching and fandom life a big part of it. The second thing that came to mind yesterday was the reaction to him. And the reaction was similar to roy williams and the reaction will be somewhat similar to jim. Boeheim which i guess is the next one. And it's the changing of an era. But it reminds me of the conversation that you and i have had before and i've had many times on the air by myself or with somebody else. The whole argument about college college athletes should be paid. And i've said many times that. I don't think that they should be first of all most schools can't afford it so you're going to separate the haves from the have nots in college. Sports won't look the same ever again. If you actually start to pay an. And i'm not talking about what they're about to start earning their name and likeness and all of that. I'm talking about the people that really believed that they should be paid like salaries What yesterday reminded me of is what. I've always felt very strongly about that college. Sports are not about the players. The players come and go sometimes very quickly college. Sports are about the coaches college. Sports are about the venues the traditions the schools the colors but more than anything else you know especially in the case of like duke. It's about mike szumowski in the players that come to play for him should be paying him for the marketing platform. That they're getting now that fish sarcastically. I don't think they should be paying him. And i think that room board tuition and everything else. They get plus. The marketing platform is massive gino. How many of these players tommy. If they didn't go to these big time college football or college basketball programs and they didn't play in the acc or the big ten or the sec. How many of those contracts year one would be the same value. How many doors. Smith hockey player yet if they weren't on their known because they play in these college sports which are very popular in this country in basketball and football. Mike chefs. Ski is the one that people have paid to see year in and year out. Over the years there's the occasional zion williamson and zion. Really was a player that that brought eyeballs to the sport a couple of years ago but the the players. You can't even remember. Most of the one in dunce that go through duke and carolina and kentucky and kansas and all these places. That's not what that's not what people are paying for when they consumed college sports. It's it's it's about the traditions. The venues the coaches so much more than it is about the players that that's my opinion anyway and then the third right the third and last thought i had was that a lot of people you know john shire is going to be you know. He's the coach in waiting Shire played for duke There was great. You know videos going around of of a lot of the big games. Shire had against maryland in various places. I'm sure every. Acc school had some had some shire you know highlights because shire was a good player. He was but there was a came. The who's a game. One night at xfinity center where maryland went in jordan williams had a dunk over john. Shire on a fast break where the place was bedlam and that video was going around forever but What i was to say is is that i think a lot of people for whatever reason for many years have thought you know places little smaller places like duke in georgetown. Like once coach thompson left. Georgetown would never be the same again. And for the most part it's true. I mean cry. Gastric certainly couldn't you know. Replicate what he had in. That duke was never duke before shoshefsky which isn't true. They they do. Had many winning eras before szumowski got there. What's funny i met. Bill foster. The guy who was the coach took them to an annual championship. Game title game against kentucky right. He was running a basketball camp. Up in the poconos and seventy seven and i was working for the weekly pocono mountaineer and went up there and did a story about it. He was very gracious. Very nice guy for a goofy college kid or conferral a weekly newspaper so yeah bill fawcett that was gene banks team gene banks. Kenny denard. mike. James yes. Yeah yeah they lost a jack givens in kentucky in the in the title game givens went for forty one. i think it was Pity no kevin. Greedy was on an team. Kevin greedy was on the team that played wooden 's last game and law all ucla in the final. I think i'm right about that. But i started thinking about you. Know you never wanna be the guy to replace the legend. You know there's always that thought right. The guy that replaced lombardi fill bankston right. The guy that fit that replaced john wooden was gene bartow who actually took ucla to a final four and then got fired after two years because he couldn't win the national championship. And then it was that guy cunningham that followed in then it was larry brown and larry brown ended up getting them to the title. Game as well Richie pettibone following. Joe gibbs talking about joe gibbs and that it just usually doesn't necessarily work out now rick pitino following like joe b hall or whatever. It was i mean. There have been instances where it's worked out. I think duke even without coach k. Is going to continue to have the chance to you know. Elevate themselves to duke again. And i think that because while k. was so important i mentioned some of the other things that are important to venue cameron. Indoor is a shrine in college basketball it s it s it recruits almost as much as coach k. Recruits you know. Being in the acc in basketball is a big deal..

We've we have three things to get today. In addition to what we were just talking about one. The wizards to coach k. And three The washington football team wrapping up. Ota's today there's some quotes coming out. And there's a forthy but the dc grace but we'll get that to at the end. Okay is do you have your night auction night plant. No no no. But the dc grace opener. Monday night seven but this was typically the time of year where you had the office. Yes it is but you know i mean covert is played havoc with. We're still hoping to do something in a fault okay Let's start with the wizards So i thought it was an embarrassing display last night It was about his music an exit As you'll see. I hate t to to take it to the extreme of calling it gutless. Because i do think that they gave some effort. I thought that they seemed You know the they were competing they. It was such a disappointment for me last night. And i don't know why care But i do. I wanted a first of all. I did wager on them last night. I took them plus seven. And i took them on the money line. I played both of them before. The embiid news bad feeling embiid was going to be out and i thought if embiid was out they were going to win the game and enforce game six. I really did. I just thought joel. Embiid is so great. He such a factor. We've seen what they look like without him on the floor and the wizard. You're better than the seventy sixers without him on the floor and i thought they would win. I was dead wrong They were so horrible on defense. That's not a surprise. They were so bad offensively especially in the half court That wasn't a surprise and they turn the ball over lot primarily with their two star players. And that's not so much of a surprise. But i'm telling you tommy the way. All of it was done with so painful. It was so painful to watch them. Defensively what in god's name is daniel gaffer doing guarding ben simmons at the top of the key. Ben simmons is a great player and tommy. You know what. He's a really unique player like the he is he very unique. He played center last night for the entire now. And he's a great defender and he can guard any position and he was playing center on offense with embiid out of the game. I mean the last time we saw point guard plays center. You do remember. I don't know but it was magic. Johnson game six nineteen eighty at the philadelphia spectrum. In fact in the same city. Different building i who would ben. Simmons can't shoot. I promise you. I could walk out into a gym today with ben simmons and crush him in a game of horse as long as it didn't include dunking crush him. He's a terrible shooter and yet he hit us hit shots last night he did and i i. I didn't tell you this because we had the show on tuesday. No i did tell you this. I think i did that. I thought he got into a rhythm at the end of the last game through the hack simmons strategy and i thought it might carry over. I still liked this strategy in the last game. But i thought i i saw him getting into a bit of a rhythm and getting more confidence. Why would daniel gaffer or anybody. Cover ben simmons at the top of the key to watch him just go right by him and dunk. Where make a play for someone else to dunk. That's there's a there's a lot of truth in what you what you just said. It really was. It was very disappointing. It was it was an it was an unanticipated performance. In every way you can imagine offensively and defensively. There was no discipline. They're a bad defensive team for lots of reasons that pointed out before first of all. I've never seen a team over the years you know especially the last five. Have more guys stand up playing defense like anybody. That's played any level of basketball. That was taught anything. You play. defense low you. Don't play standing up. You play defense more with your feet than any other part of your body. They played with every other part of their body before they play with their feet. They can't stay in front of anybody. it just it. It's embarrassment and then by the way they they They they stand up more than any other team. They have their two best players. That are disinterested at times distracted at times. How many times do you have to see What's his face Cork mas go back door against russ and it's oh shoot. I lost them again. Beal sometimes is arguing so much on one end of the cord that he's not even in frame as the seventy sixers scoring on the other end their undisciplined poorly coach. Defensively have bad ideas. That's not the big surprise. We knew that they have been a really good at times offensive team this year especially with pace primarily with pace when the game slows down. They're not very good half court team. In fact there are dreadful. Half court team. They lead the league in isos and last night philadelphia employed a strategy primarily for. I don't know. I call it seventy percent of the time. That bradley beal was in the game to double bradley beal and it was so effective. Now it's effective in part because washington doesn't have like a regular half court offense. It's all i so and so doesn't work against double teams. What works against a double team is to properly align the floor from spacing standpoint and there has to be a first pass after you invite the double team to the player who's defender went to double team the player i watched team honestly youth basketball coaches at district in. Pg county right down the street from mcnamara high school in a tournament on a long weekend. You would see fifty youth coaches in that building. Handle a trapping one player. Better than the wizards handled it last night. It was amateur hour bill trying to dribble through traps. And then you know dribbling into another defender where he was naturally based on this this stupid decision or the unstructured nature of what they were trying to do would invite a third defender into the mix..
