That sure ain’t ownership level worth.

If google is correct then yes, that's not remotely close but with the Florio thing, maybe the owners will forget about that. Otherwise the rule seems to be that you need to be a serious billionaire.
A majority owner needs to have over a billion in liquid assets to put on the line just to start with, if I recall. He would just be part of a consortium.
That's how I understood it and why I immediately looked at his net worth, the tweet says majority owner which makes little sense unless the NFL is willing to bend the rules.
Buccs?
Wait what?
This is a > $4B deal. Easily the largest in American sports history (can’t speak for any soccer clubs or a random thing like something in the 19th century adjusted for inflation).
You need a ‘down payment’ of over a billion to show that you are fit to own the franchise in perpetuity. It’s big boy stuff.
Oh ok you’re talking in practicality, whereas it seemed like you were saying there was a genuine rule.
No, I’m talking about the NFL allowing you in the door. Nothing to do with practicality.
And it seems like it will be the KC chiefs in Munich and Pats in Frankfurt.

This story encapsulates what I think is by far the best story in the SB this year, the Burrow-Chase linkup. They have already won a college national title together and arguably had the best single season in college football history as a QB-WR duo, now they have a chance to do the same thing in the pros. I can't believe more people are hyping this up, I've never seen anything like it.

Where has that come from?
It’s surely not that simple, but you’re probably right.
Saints at Tottenham's stadium.
From sources in Germany... apparently KC have a partnership with Bayern Munich.
And Pats seem to be the other team that will play in Germany, cause that is their marketing focus. (Apparently Pats are the most popular NFL team in Germany.)
Against the Jags then?
Jags appear to be in the Wembley game per the release.
We don't gave the Jags on our schedule next season.
It's a home game so it would be of the Rams, Seahawks, Ravens, Bengals, Raiders or Vikings. Or one of the 3 divisional teams. Bucs and Falcons have played at Tottenham recently, so it probably wouldn't be them.
It’s controlling 30% of a franchise’s worth with a debt limit of $350M. With a valuation of over $4B the math(s) put that at around $1B to get your name in contention as the face of the franchise - and that is with help from other investors.
At least that’s my understanding; I’m no M&A lawyer.
This is right, it’s something I’ve become aware of only recently with everything going on in Denver but any majority owner needs to be able to personally put down 30% of the value.
It’s why Manning or Elway would only be the “face” of any consortium effort rather than actual owners in their own right. They’re nowhere near rich enough.
Ah, it’s the debt cap that I wasn’t aware of.
He was a talk show host in the 90s. I have no idea how he has amassed that much money (which is actually very little compared to other owners). Seems like he would need a few partners to go in with him at the very least.
It makes me think about A Rod and Marc Lore. The former makes the headlines while the other is the actual owner.
IRT purchasing the Broncos/NFL franchise, can ten people with $400M liquid form a consortium? Or is there a rule that one person must own 30%?
Seems like the top 5 of the draft this year isn't nearly as established as it was in previous seasons. Neal, Hutchinson, Thibodeaux, Ekwonu all in with a shout to be the #1 pick.
And the teams picking near the top are pretty much all “take the best guy available” too. So will be interesting to see how each of their draft boards play out.
There also seems to be more of a disconnect between the fantasy analytics guys and NFL people for offensive players than usual. That tightened somewhat after the Senior Bowl I suppose, Malik Willis probably being a lock to not get past Pittsburgh if not much earlier being an example.
Not that it matters, as I already know who I’m taking at 1.01
.I have the 1.01 in my other Dynasty league and desperately trying to trade out of it. Most RBs grade out horribly compared to the last few classes (Walker, Hall, Spiller) and I'm not sold on Burks yet, massively depends on which team drafts him.There also seems to be more of a disconnect between the fantasy analytics guys and NFL people for offensive players than usual.

I hope Kenny Pickett goes to Pittsburgh but not sure he will last that long, rumours now that the Panthers are interested in him at #6. Willis seems to have the highest potential but also a bit more of a guess at this point.
Jags should take Neal at the 1.01 imo, protect Lawrence and take it from there.
Rhule has one year to save his job, and has known Pickett for years after having him originally committed to playing for Rhule’s team in college. So they don’t pick up a vet QB, I think that pick is a good bet (despite his tiny hands
).The fun in the draft hinges on when that first QB goes and Burks’ 40 time for me. Aside from what Denver does at QB, of course.
With all the stories lately of professional athletes being horrible how about a good news story?
This should be fun
Did they? Burrow for sure, don't recall much about Chase (I'm sure he performed well but LSU had talent throughout that team with Burrow the diamond in the middle, I think)
Still, amazing story and hope they go on to win it all.
Well from a statistical point of view they may not have been the best as there were other WRs like Justin Jefferson on the team who is an absolute stud in his own right. But whenever Burrow needed a completion or a big play, Chase was always the man and always considered to be the best WR on the team despite being a year younger than Jefferson. Their success as a team too was astonishing.
Burrow, Chase, and Jefferson were the talent. Marshall, Moss, and CEH one level behind them. Joe Brady deserves a lot of credit for opening up the passing game that year, which is what allowed them to have the best passing game in power 5 history.
Just two days to go. This time in 2 days I might just be cracking open that first bottle of beer.
Chase posted a 84/1780/20 stat line and won the Biletnikoff. It’s not quite ‘07 Crabtree or ‘20 Smith so it’s not the best individual season for a WR, but if you wanted to say the best season from a trio (including JJets) in college ever you’d have a strong case.
Hype is building now we’re almost at the weekend. It’s also possibly the first time I am excited for the HT show.
All metrics point to the Rams. The only realistic counter-argument is: Joe Burrow.
Pennington/Moss was probably the best QB/WR tandem in NCAA history albeit against lesser opposition than other tandems at "bigger" schools.
Moss's two-year stint at Marshall produced insane numbers granted the first year was at the second level. Pennington took over in Moss's second year when Marshall moved up to the top division and threw 42 TDs - 26 to Moss.
