[Saba Sports News] Magic Johnson expressed his dissatisfaction with his recent investment during Thursday night’s game, as the Commanders suffered a heavy defeat to the Bears. The basketball legend, who played a pivotal role in assisting Josh Harris in acquiring the Washington Football Team for $6 billion earlier in the summer, wasted no time in sharing his disappointment after the Commanders’ 40-20 loss. Johnson’s remarks underscored his desire for improved performance from the team moving forward.
In a straightforward manner, he stated, “Tonight the Commanders played with no intensity or fire.” The Commanders appeared lackluster during the first half of the game, allowing Chicago’s Justin Fields and D.J. Moore to dominate. Although they made a partial comeback in the second half, the Commanders still ended up losing by a 20-point margin, a fact that visibly frustrated Magic Johnson.
Reflecting on the first half’s shortcomings, Johnson commented, “We didn’t compete in the first half and fell behind 27-3 by halftime. It proved to be an insurmountable deficit, leading to our 40-20 loss.” Despite the disappointing result, Magic had some lighter moments during the night, sharing laughs with Amazon’s “Thursday Night Football” crew and autographing merchandise for superfan Ryan Fitzpatrick during the pregame show.
Looking ahead, the Commanders will face Minnesota on October 15, with hopes that the fun and success will extend throughout the entire evening, possibly with the help of Sam Howell.
