He's the front runner no doubt. Wish he was younger than 77. He can bid the highest depends on how bad he wants it. If its not him its because of 22 agenda imo. I want a fancy new crib if he does buy it.
I am sure the NFL will want a solid and secure succession plan to approve him. Sounds like his son-in-law Greg Penner and daughter Carrie would possibly be that succession plan.
Even though Kroenke isn’t the technical owner of the Avs and Nuggets(his wife is but we all know it’s him) those franchises are in great shape as he’s very hands off so hopefully Mr. Walton is the same way,
You mean the Kroenkes whose team just won the Super Bowl? The one whose team is playing for the Stanley Cup? The same one who owns the Nuggets who are in perhaps their best run of their franchise history?
It isn't just the dispute with Comcast, but the overall lack of distribution of games as you can't get them on any streaming service, dish Comcast etc.... It is very hard to get Avs games in the regular season if you live in CO and that pisses me off. It isn't as big of a deal with the Broncos as their content will always be nationally televised.
What will be interesting to see is what role Penner plays. Walton is 77 and Penner is really the long term owner. I have no idea what his sports knowledge might be.
Agree but, maybe Sakic is reason for Avs success more so vs KSE. I'm thrilled having the richest owner in NFL. I do wonder if this opens door to a new Broncos/Nuggets/Avs complexes in the next 3-5 years. Where would you want them around Elitches or DIA where would it be best for the fans location wise?
I bet Walton had an idea who bidders were and how much they could max bid and he came to 4.65 B Round of bidding was weird I kind of expected it like live stock bidding process. Or did trust say to bidders what number was and others passed.
Yeah - having Walton's number known gives all the other bidders a target. Which means Walton still have reserves to kick in at the last minute.
