Former Duke basketball two-time national champion Brian Davis was certainly the most talked about person Wednesday, regarding him being a potential owner of the Washington Commanders.
Davis dialogued with The Sports Junkies (106.7 The Fan) for two segments Wednesday morning. Here are some of the responses from the Junkies and then also other sports personalities in the DMV.
“Whose intellectual property is worth $50 billion? Nobody I have ever heard of…The bottom line is does the guy have legitimate money? I know he is not a billionaire and the guy said he was a billionaire.” — Eric Bickel, 106.7 The Fan
“I am calling shenanigans on that. .. Wait until the headline at Pro Football Talk is ‘Brian Davis can’t wait to sink white people’s money’.” — John Cakes Auville, 106.7 The Fan
“Nobody believes he has the money. Nobody in this room believes he has the money.” — John-Paul Flaim, 106.7 The Fan
“He reminded me of a relative at either Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner; they are just talking in circles. At some point, you wish they would stop talking, but they just won’t. They keep going and going.“ — John Cakes Auville, 106.7 The Fan
“I don’t know if we learned a lot, but he said a lot…You know what you can’t run from or hide from if you are going to try to make a major business play? Your past… There is a reason we have never discussed this on our show. That is because we never did really think it was real.” — JP Finlay, 106.7 The Fan
“I don’t feel comfortable supporting what I just heard. Just because you change the name doesn’t mean your history is gone.” — Brian Mitchell, 106.7 The Fan
“Supposedly he is able to get billionaires to agree to give him billions of dollars for his intellectual property. Again, forgive my skepticism. Who gave you the money? That was the one question that never really came up…When it did come up in passing he said it came from white people, which was an odd phrase, I thought.” — Grant Paulsen, 106.7 The Fan
“This sounds like the most fraudulent bit of nonsense I can remember hearing about. I don’t have a nicer way of saying it than that. This does not sound realistic.” — Danny Roullier, 106.7 The Fan
“Are you really going to buy something from somebody or allow that somebody to buy something from you, where you don’t understand who it is and where it is coming from, in terms of the money in the deal? …I don’t know man, it didn’t sound real to me. None of this has sounded real at any point.“ — Kevin Sheehan, 980 The Team
“To be quite honest, and to be quite blunt, there wasn’t much that I could handle. I am not trying to be a jerk here. I’m not trying to be mean. If this morning was a true representation of what Brian Davis is trying to sell to the National Football League, Dan and Tanya Snyder and Bank of America Securities, there is no way anybody with half a peanut in their brain that could walk away saying, ‘Oh yes, that sounds good. That sounds real. That sounds legit.’ ” — Chris Russell, 980 The Team.
“More sleight of hand from Davis, it seems, and the proof of that kills his credibility even more…The idea that Brian Davis is doing all these things, and this could be a means to justify an end, falls through immediately. He’s mentioned this elaborate plan, but no one in PG County has seen it. You can’t just submit a bid to the NFL and say you’re going to do things if you don’t have the approval to do any of it.” — Craig Hoffman, 980 The Team
