And I completely agree this whole bag/most-skilled talk drives me absolutely crazy.

Shaq is “less skilled” than like 90% of league history but it doesn’t matter when you’re a 7’1 350lb athletic freak. Effectiveness > skill 100% of the time. It’s like people forget it’s professional athletes and not random dudes at the local park/gym. Sometimes when you’re in the 1% of the bigger/faster/stronger that’s all that matters. A freak among the freaks.

Apparently the Wizards (and Caps) owner is talking to the governor of MD about arena plans

I see this as nothing more than leverage because ain’t no way in Hell is Ted going to move both teams to Baltimore when the majority of both fan bases resides in the DC Area.

Moore better off fighting to get the Commanders to stay in Md because the threat of them going back to DC is more legit now than it was a few years ago with Snyder gone.

That's old news now after he signed that deal with DC. They aren't moving anywhere.

Arod always seemed fake to me. Could see why people hate working with him.

Second time, he reneged on a sale. Straight seller's remorse. He essentially said to the Athletic that the team is good now, so he doesn't anyone else getting the credit for that.

The team is going to take a step back anyway. They are a 2nd apron team and have a ton of money locked up in the front court.
