Something tells me our resident UNC fans might have some fun with this story...

From the article...

Davis also has faced multiple civil lawsuits in the past. For example, Davis and former Duke teammate Christian Laettner were once sued by former NBA great Scottie Pippen for failing to repay a loan in connection with an effort to buy the Memphis Grizzlies.

“I have made business mistakes,” Davis said. “But in terms of character integrity, what I can say is that, unlike most, I didn’t file bankruptcy.”

The aforementioned "business mistakes" have apparently involved taking out loans and not paying them back.

There's also this, in response to suggestions that his backing money was coming from sources in Saudi Arabia...

Ummm...Wow 😬

Slightly off topic:

With the rate the value of these teams are increasing I am truly surprised Bezos or Mr tesla didnt just plunk down 10 Bill or whatever just to have that in their portfolio. Not like they need the money but there are only 32ish owners in the league and only a handful sole owners of a nfl franchise.  Even if they dont care about football its still an exclusive club and its an incredible investment

The NFL reportedly badly wants Bezos in the club. Speculation is that the Seattle Seahawks will be up for sale sometime soon and he'll probably go there.

Tepper will likely be sliding down the "richest owners" list a little.

Valuation will get to the point that no one can afford to buy. What does it matter (outside of yearly revenue)  if the team is worth 40 billion dollars?  How many candidates or even groups will be able to afford to purchase.

If it got to that point, you're probably talking groups rather than individuals.

I suppose potentially corporations but I don't know how the NFL would feel about that.

its at the point now where groups are forming to be able to afford a team.   Only a handful of people in the world that can simply pay cash, as tepper did, for a team outright.

 

If bezos or musk want in they could simply double any offer and pay in cash which I find strange that they dont.

Maybe but the skins are for sale now and he has obvious ties to the dc area.  I think a talking head I heard say at one point the washington franchise value was the most valuable in all of sports

Snyder reportedly blocked him from bidding on the Commanders.

Granted the circumstances are odd, but apparently he still had that right.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)

      I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
