Thread: Broncos/Bowlen Trial Stayed

I wonder what it means. If they came to an agreement, does that mean the team is to be sold, or they'll agree to Britney taking over?

I'm sure news will leak out soon.

This means that for now lawsuit trial pitting Pat Bowlen’s two oldest daughters Beth Bowlen Wallace, Amie Klemmer against trustees Joe Ellis, Rich Slivka, Mary Kelly is off.
Lawyers on both sides and Ellis would not comment. #9sports

DENVER — A high stakes trial that could have determined the next Broncos owner has been vacated, according to multiple sources.

In December, an Arapahoe County judge set a July 12 date for the lawsuit Beth Bowlen Wallace and her sister, Amie Klemmer, filed against the three-person trust of President/CEO Joe Ellis, team counsel Rich Slivka and Denver attorney Mary Kelly regarding the mental capacity of late owner Pat Bowlen when amendments were made over the years. The trial was previously postponed.

Tuesday, it was vacated after a joint motion from both sides. In some instances, this means the parties could be pursuing a settlement. The team, a lawyer representing a beneficiary of the trust and Bowlen Wallace all had no comment when reached by Denver7.

After the July 12 court date was originally established, Bowlen Wallace issued a statement to Denver7 in December, suggesting the best path forward was to sell the team since her father would not have approved of the state of the franchise, and it appeared unlikely the Bowlen children would agree on a sibling to run the business. She called for a "smooth and timely transition."

The fans deserve stability.

I hate change. Just my nature. I prefer the familiar.

I'm willing to bet this means they've agreed to sell. No chance they would agree on which sibling gets to run the show so the point alternative is agree to sell or drag it out through the courts.

We shall see, but that's what I think is going on.

Beth Bowlen Wallace, the second-oldest of late Broncos owner Pat Bowlen’s seven children, called for a “smooth and timely transition” to new ownership on Wednesday.

In a lengthy statement sent to The Denver Post, Bowlen Wallace said her father “would never have accepted the team’s current state.”

The Broncos are 4-7 entering Sunday night’s game at 10-1 Kansas City and headed for a fifth consecutive year out of the playoffs and a fourth consecutive losing season.

Judging by the statement, It appears Bowlen Wallace is not only fine with selling the team to an outside buyer, but doing it quickly even as the trial pitting her and her sister, Amie Klemmer, against the Pat Bowlen Trustees (Broncos president/CEO Joe Ellis, team counsel Rich Slivka and local attorney Mary Kelly) is scheduled for July 2021.

I just want the ******* politician out of the picture but I would caution fans on being careful what they wish for.

We’ve been wishing for a Justin Fields forever only to end up with a steady diet of Case ******* Siemian. If the Broncos are sold to a scrub owner (like the ******* Monforts) you can take it to the bank that they’ll never win another SB.

I don't think we ever win another with what we have in place today, so...

I see the date on this, and whole-heartedly disagree with Ms. (or Mrs.) Bowlen. He literally set up the team’s current state. It’s her and her (half-?)sisters’ fault it didn’t progress better.

Time to start pooling money folks!

NTL? Pags? Please report.....
