And again just look what Stan has done. I would bet that most of the men in that family are pretty alpha. Nobody wants to show up at family gatherings knowing that the brother-in-law is winning super bowls and competing for championships and two other sports. If you're half-assing it with your franchise. I just don't see it as a bad thing. They obviously want to make money. But they also want to win

Stan is arguably the best owner in the NFL. Big baller. He, like many owners who succeed, realize that the best way to make money *is* by winning.

I'm solidly team Rob Walton.

Who are the other two?

Harris founded Apollo Global Management. He also owns the 76ers.

Todd Boehly is a badass investor himself and has a large share of Dodger ownership. He owns an eSports franchise Cloud9, and owns Draftkings.

Josh Harris - Investor, co-founded Apollo Management Group, one of the world's largest "alternative investment firms". Whatever that is.
Todd Boehly - businessman, investor, and philanthropist. He is the Co-founder, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and controlling member of Eldridge Industries, a holding company headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut. Also most likely next owner of Chelsea FC.

Ahh, I know Apollo. I'm in one of their credit strategies funds.

Report: Broncos' Ownership Auction Receives 5 Bids to Purchase Team
The sale of the Denver Broncos is moving into the next phase.

More information here - https://www.si.com/nfl/broncos/news/...ly-josh-harris

As the bidding war for the Denver Broncos heats up, the group led by Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Josh Harris has added significant star power to their charge by adding NBA legend Magic Johnson to their bid group.

Johnson, 62, would be a huge add. With a net worth of around $600 million, he could also be a significant stakeholder in the team if the Harris-led group ultimately submits the winning bid for the franchise.

Last month, three of the five finalists to purchase the team were announced. One of those, the group led by Todd Boehly recently won the bid to purchase Chelsea, a British soccer team, so that might narrow the bidding war to four moving forward. The Harris-led group will likely face its biggest competition against Walmart heir, Rob Walton.

The quest for a successor to the late Pat Bowlen as Broncos owner is clarified today.

The Broncos’ future ownership competition has been reduced to two finalists, and one of the prospective purchasers is spending Thursday at the team's headquarters.

According to multiple NFL and Denver sources, The Denver Gazette and The Gazette in Colorado Springs learned exclusively that the pair of front-running candidates to become the Broncos’ owners are Rob Walton, and family and minority partners, and a group headed by Josh Harris.

Harris, advisors and others toured the Broncos’ complex at Dove Valley Thursday and met with retiring CEO Joe Ellis and other top officials of the franchise.

Bout time this process is about to be almost over with. Hoping whoever is the guy is a good one man

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — A source tells 9NEWS that one of the remaining ownership candidates to buy the Denver Broncos is Byron Allen, the comedian, actor and media tycoon.

The source said Allen is backed by a handful of investors with deep pockets to help in his bid. Allen and his group are expected to visit the Broncos stadium and practice facility in the near future -- as at least two other known bidders, Josh Harris and Rob Walton, have already done in recent days.

A source familiar with the Broncos' ownership sale via auction told 9NEWS last week that 10 investment groups submitted first-round bids, after which the second-round field was narrowed to five. Another source told 9NEWS this week the number of ownership groups under consideration is fluid, and there could be more than five groups.

He’d be the richest owner in the league by a large margin and he has the capital to buy the team outright. No ridiculous ownership groups who care more about the status of being a part owner and less about the actual team itself. He’s the most likely to build the Broncos a new, state of the art Stadium like his brother in law did in LA. Wouldn’t it be nice for Denver to be considered as a potential Super Bowl location? He has the money to pay contracts for free agents and own player extensions without having to worry about having the $ for stuff like signing bonuses. It would be nice to have the richest owner in the league don’t you think? Walton isn’t some douchebag celebrity who just wants the Broncos as some status symbol. I honestly believe he would be good for the team and for Denver.
