Just read up a bit on Smith and his wife (former playmate of the year, Hope "I won't even try and spell her former name"). Sounds pretty interesting. He went from being a chemical engineer to being worth $6 billion or so. Sounds like he's been a pretty savvy investor and when he founded a private equity company, he made some really smart investments.
He and his wife have four kids. He funded college for those Boka Haram girls that were kidnapped years ago, and has done a fair amount of other notable charity things.
Sounds like an interesting guy, and based on his investing track record, and the fact this would be a sizable investment for him (vs. someone like Bezos, a Walton, etc.), he would likely be a more active owner, but also one that is hopefully smart enough to hire the right professionals and then let them run the football side of things.
Dudes wife is smokin hot!

I really would like it to be smith. Bezos obviously has money but after all the scrutiny on the way he treats his current Amazon employees I don't think that I'd be excited about him as an owner. And the guy just comes off as a total douchebag anyways. The way he ignored William shatner's emotion after getting off the space flight and tried to turn it into a publicity stunt really bothered me.
Broncos sale facing another legal challenge
https://www.9news.com/article/sports...8-23f4d2380f76ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Weeks before the Denver Broncos got their grove back by trading for quarterback Russell Wilson, the team received notice of more legal issues ahead of an impending sale.
In January, a Denver District Court judge ruled that the right of first refusal agreement between owner Pat Bowlen and former owner Edgar Kaiser was "no longer valid or enforceable in any respect." Kaiser's heirs appealed that ruling to the Colorado Court of Appeals on Feb. 25.
The trust that now runs the Broncos challenged the contention by Kaiser's heirs that the right of first refusal in the original agreement between Kaiser in Bowlen in 1984 was still valid. There was a one week trial in September, ahead of the January ruling that sided with the Broncos trust.
The appeals process will take time and could overlap, if not delay the sale of the Broncos.
That blows.
What do the Kaiser’s still have to do with the Broncos? I read the article, but that agreement should of died with both of them.
