Rubin was the one who had Combs and Curry in his group, yes? If so good I'm glad they're out. Navarro and Tepper were both better options than him in my eyes too. Will have to research the new names some more.

Now lets hope the bidding weeds out Sebates

Don't know if that was ever official but word was he was trying to get them on board.

This could get interesting.  This will be a billionaire dick measuring contest and JR is about to get paid.

Goodnight is old as dirt too.  If he was 20 years younger I wouldn't mind him.

I'm pretty sure Sabates has already been "weeded".

Well he was my biggest concern but realistically he never ever stood a chance and I'm pretty sure it was "reported" (loosely) several weeks ago that he was already out.

Damn...good point. Didn't realize that he was 75.

I don't think he was ever actually "in".

Reading between the lines, it sounds like his bid hinged on him securing a "heavy hitter" as majority owner and nobody signed on.

This is totally a “boys with toys” ego purchase and anyone expecting it to make economic sense has droppd out.

damn jim goodnight would be great.  he's an NC man through and through and SAS is considered one of the best companies in the world to work for

I’ve got a homeboy I went to school with who’s an engineer for them now. He loves it. I tried hard as hell to get on, and even had an interview. Just wasn’t in the cards.

That’s what I was getting at. Let’s hope it stayed that way

My guess is he'll try to jump on Navarro's coattails.

Wouldn't bet on it working, but hey...

He is middle aged for NFL owners.

Doesn't make economic sense?

I don't know about that, JR is about to make a killing off his "toy".

Richardson paid $206 million in 1993 for the rights to start the team
