    There was rumblings I think this summer as well that Steve Ballmer who owns the clippers, Charlie Ergen a local in Colorado who owns Dish, and Larry Ellison who owns Oracle Corp also could have solo controlling owner interest. All 3 are very rich as well.

    His net worth is about on par with Eli's though, so I really just don't have faith in a ownership group with such a high sale cost, while it would be great and the fans would love it, that's a insane price tag. There is talk that the Bowlen's who want the team could buy out those who wanted the sale, but even then in conjunction with the Manning's and Elway I still don't see that happening.

    In the grand scheme of things, Elway and Manning look a like very small players.

    Exactly I just don't see those dots connecting at all. Its not to say they couldn't have a small stake at some point, but it wont be big enough to really be noticeable IMO based off that price tag, I think even local media is piping that dream up with out actually thinking about numbers.....

    Ergen would piss me off. That guy is a scumbag. Thinks he can flex people out with his deep pockets.
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    If were being honest that's pretty much most billionaires.

    I hope not! I'm afraid if Bezo purchased the Broncos.... he would remove Pat Bowlen statue and insert the new statue of Bezos. F**k that!

    He's still Executive Chairman, and only relinquished his role as CEO. He still owns by far the most stock at Amazon.

    Fun to speculate big names like Bezos and Jay-Z for potential Broncos suitors if team hits market but no developments other than ROFR case later this month that team initiated. Ownership update at end of year. #9sports

    The Blood of the City is going to have the biggest rave ever when the Broncos are sold. Free drugs for everyone.
    "We saw it…. the hussars let loose their horses. God, what power! They ran through the smoke and the sound was like that of a thousand blacksmiths beating with a thousand hammers

    They rush on to the Swedes! They crash into the Swedish riters…. Overwhelm them! They crash into the second regiment - Overwhelmed! Resistance collapses, dissolves, they move forward as easily as if they were parading on a grand boulevard

    Amazon is focused on getting Sunday Ticket away from DTV, I would have a hard time believing Bezos is going for ownership

    Why not? Our last owner was always front and center in TV rights and broadcasting contracts.
