Kroenke's Empire

"The St. Louis Rams might be No. 2. The St. Louis Business Journal is theorizing that you might exercise your right of first refusal to become majority owner of the Rams as the children of the late Georgia Frontiere try to sell their 60 percent stake.
As the Journal pointed out, the NFL is pretty much the place to be for big-time sports moguls, at least in the States. And you might feel a duty to St. Louis to step in if a buyer emerges who wants to move the club back to California, as has been rumored.
Unfortunately, the NFL has a cross-ownership ban that would require you to dump the Nuggets and Avalanche if you take over the Rams, which makes followers of the Nuggets a little nervous."

Fans of the Nuggets a little nervous? How about Avs fans? The last time there was owner upheaval we nearly lost Joe. Fortunately I don't think this is a real threat, but it did interest me. I had no idea there was a cross ownership deal in the NFL

I’ve been keeping an eye on this story for months. Kroenke’s true passion is basketball, but the NFL is king. Stan hasn’t tipped his hand one way or the other. He could also petition the NFL to waive the ban. If you are an Avs and/or Nuggets fan, this is definately something to follow. Fans may quibble with Kroenke, but things have been stable under his ownership.

I dunno, a Lightning-like fiasco in Denver could also be fun…

Fun, as in the old chinese saying,

“may you live in interesting times”, perhaps.

Jori, glad you’ve been keeping an eye on this. It was the first I’d heard of it, and only because I was really bored one day and decided to read the whole paper, and not just throw away the sports section until september or so. If there is anything else to be heard about it in the future, I’d love to see a link. I’ll post ’em up if I see them, but like I said seeing this one was kind of an accident.

Get rid of the loser point

08-09 Avs- can we decline the penalty?
