I wish I could say that's unbelievable but it's actually extremely believable. And utterly fuging absurd.

Oops, I was wrong. 

Owners have to write off the purchase price of their teams over the course of 15 years rather than 10.

We simply must do more to end the suffering of billionaires!

No one should want Bezos to be an NFL owner.  There is enough monopolization in the US as is.  He already had the rights this past season to feature Thursday night games.  I imagine if he got a spot of ownership, he would desire to lock up more of the NFL inside his clutches.  The self declared king of the NFL.

Do you not know the amount of companies this man own?  Of course this conversation would get into the Tinderbox area, so I won't derail the thread.  That said, if he gets his hands on an NFL team, you better believe he will try to lockdown the NFL market hand over fist.  Get ready to watch Panthers games on Amazon every other Sunday.

Correct me if I'm wrong but won't this make Ron the only coach to have gone through an owner selling the team and finishing with a new owner, Twice now?? This is wild man. 

I said before hes the one person that could write one hell of a book. just a few- NFL player, 85 bears, draft into spot where he wasnt need while he was a college stud, paid dues up coach ranks, great DC, turn down 9 times for HC, 9.7 years at Charlotte, SB 50, brother cancer, Keep pounding, military, always gave goat Bill the toughest games, dave fired within 2 weeks of TC and herniay back......, fired and gos to the circus show that is wft, the name of NFL, another odd owner and he had to answer questions as the face of each team, etc etc

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
