Mark Cuban anyone?

[SIGCHI222]

Without being morbid or calling for someone's death, who would you guys want as a new owner?  Felix Sabates, according to what is published, is only worth $200 million, so he may not have enough to buy the team when the times comes around.  Plus, his commercials with Rivera may indicate he is not as sharp as he once was when he was younger when it comes to making sound decisions.

 

Bruton Smith...I'll just stop here.

 

My vote is Mark Cuban.  He is worth $2.7 billion, knows how to win (he does have a Championship trophy), will probably hold weekly press conferences whether we want them or not, stay awake at the games and I have no doubt he would tell Roger G where to stick it when necessary.  He is relatively young and I hear he hates Harris Teeter.

 

Like winning the NFCS, somebody will HAVE to buy this team eventually.  Might as well be the polar opposite of Mr. Richardson.

JR isn't selling until he's dead. But if you suggest that you're an awful person to think that an elderly man might die soon.

You can only own an NFL team in the same city that you own your NBA team. Which is why Cuban will never be an NFL owner.

this isnt on JR. Jr has given Gettleman free range to whip this team into a contender before he dies.  Which is why he did not dispute or over rule the steve smith cut.  JR is not penny pinching.  If he could buy the top players in the league, he would but we have this thing called a salary cap that has and is still screwing this team.  The only way to get out of debt is to make sacrifices.  This season was sacrificed in order to fix the salary situation for years to come.

JR signs checks. That's all any owner does. In the past JR's decisions (hiring Hurney, gutting rosters, etc) were responsible for failures but you cannot put this on him. After he fired Hurney, he hired consultants (Beane & Co) who were extremely qualified & did the work to find him a new GM. JR hired the guy that the pros told him was most qualified & he has given Dave full control of the roster, & he's spending the money. He's paying a crapload of dead money to guys that aren't here anymore on top of the salary.

JR is actually doing his part these days. He's financially commited, given full control to the GM, & stays the F out of the way. That's all any owner can do.

If he had done this 15 years ago we probably wouldn't be in this mess, but that's moot. He's doing his part now. People crying for a new owner & wishing he would die better be careful what they ask for. There's no guarantee the next owner will miraculously be this great leader & CEO. It's more likely we end up with a clueless stiff.

I would pay money to see Mark Cuban go at Goodell the way he does the NBA commish.

 

Priceless it would be.

Are you serious?

MJ is a failure running a team in a sport he actually knows, he'd be a dumpster fire trying to run a football team.

[Kakarot]

Not a fan of Cuban, but I will admit he's a good owner. Wish there was someone in the carolinas like him.

[Khaki Lackey]

Yeah sure. Where do I vote?

[SIGCHI222]

jtnc is correct.  I looked it up.  http://www.theofficialreview.com/nfl-cross-ownership-rules/

 

Who knew?

I was half joking but I'd be fine with him. He wouldn't try to run a football team. He'd let the people with football knowledge run it. The main thing is he would be a player's owner, not one who preaches the league motto. You think Jordan ever would've let Hardy be put on the exempt list?

[TNPanther]

I like Cuban. I would kill to see him buy the team.
