Maybe they can do a Succession reboot with Ted Leonsis, Zach Leonsis, Grunfeld, Millie, and G Wiz.

It keeps getting worse for Terd.

Soon he’ll come crawling back to DC talking about how excited he is to keep the team in the city.

People say that Ted is a worse owner than Snyder, but Snyder did some heinous things, so I'm not going to put Ted in that same boat.

Ted's just really delusional and out of touch with what he thinks the value of his franchises are. He's not moving the Lakers, or the Bulls or Knicks. It's the 9 win Washington Wizards. Nobody wants that. It's truly embarrassing man. Just let your kid run the team and count your money somewhere.

That is a beautifully written takedown piece. High art. This is Royce Gracie dissecting superheavyweights with skill and finesse.

Loved that article. DC media, used to groveling to ownership (except for Snyder after he became to horrible to ignore!), finally letting this guy have it. Funniest part was where the article referred to Zach Leonsis as 'Son of Ted,' like that's his position title instead of the stupid made-up title they gave him.

Since this dumbass idea was announced, everyone collectively involved - DC politicians, VA politicians, neighborhood groups, media - told Leonsis and Youngkin to pound sand and it was great to watch. Hopefully it's dead now but I think Slimy Ted will still try to turd squirtle his way into VA one way or another.

I’ll definitely go to Turd Land to stay in the $750/night hotel and pay $70 to park under the Glenn Dome Mojo Dojo Casa.

It would be funny if Ted is left empty handed from both Virginia and DC and had to sell the team.

The move to VA scenario stinks more every time you hear more about it.
A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression

But a source with direct knowledge of the situation told The Baltimore Banner that Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and Leonsis discussed the idea of bringing the NBA and NHL teams to Maryland after Virginia lawmakers left out plans for a new Wizards and Capitals arena from the state budget this month.


Terd just flailing around now. He’s like one of those whirling dervishes just flailing around over and over hoping to get lucky, except not graceful at all, more like a drunk bull in a china shop, if any of those still exist in Chinatown.

His big ego is hurt now. Turd must be dreading the prospect of having to come back to Bowser cap in hand.... :lol:

Return to Washington Wizards
