Howard Eskin from WIP in Philly gave the Junkies a LOT of reasons why Philly fans don’t like Josh Harris, two of them being absentee ownership and profit over people. He has been in DC quite a bit over the last two months, but it is still true that he owns three teams in DC, Philly, and New Jersey – and all three are rivals to the teams in the same league in those other cities.
The Junks know Howard is always going to troll the DC fanbase whenever he’s on, but so far, Harris has made all the right moves with the Commanders, so maybe it’s a ‘your mileage may very situation.’ But right now, the Junks ain’t feeling Howard’s thoughts.
“They’re trying to make things better, and if Howard’s main complaint is that hey raise ticket prices? All owners do that,” Cakes said in the next segment. “If the Commanders start winning and there’s a better product on the field, I’m sure they’ll raise prices.”
“He’s a businessman, that’s what they do, but you grade Josh Harris on who he puts in place to make decisions and how well the team does,” Bish replied. “You can’t grade him after one week or even two months, you have to judge him in five years.”
EB and Drab were chatting about Eskin in the bathroom, and Bickel even said ‘he’s a showman,’ but Drab apparently went on a restroom rant about how Harris’ hometown rep is a sham because he tried to buy the Broncos?
“Of course he did – you try to buy any NFL team that comes on the market!” EB said. “That doesn’t mean he wasn’t born and raised a ‘Skins fan, or went to high school here! Virtually every kid his age was a ‘Skins fan.
I truly believe it’s different; he’d want the Broncos to be successful if he bought them, sure, but this is different.”
Take a listen as the Junks debate Harris’ loyalty and how much his hometown affects it!
