John Elway reportedly missed out on chance to make close to $1 billion on Broncos sale

According to the Action Network’s Darren Rovell, Elway was once offered a minority ownership stake in the Broncos while he was still playing.

Here is an excerpt from Rovell’s story: “In September 1998, then Broncos owner Pat Bowlen offered Elway, who had just led the Broncos to their first Super Bowl title, a 10 percent piece of the team for the money that they had owed him ($21 million). Bowlen sweetened the deal by offering another 10 percent of the team for $15 million. ...

“At the $4.5 billion valuation, John Elway’s 20 percent stake that he could have gotten for $36 million would have been worth $900 million today, a 1,330 percent return, factoring for inflation. He also gave up the rights of first refusal to buy the rest of the team.”

It’s actually a bit more than that because 20% of $4.65 billion is $930 million.

Despite passing on the ownership stake, Elway made $45.4 million in his playing career, became general manager of the Broncos and they won Super Bowl 50. Elway also sold his car dealerships in 1997 for $82.5 million in stock.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter said approval of the Broncos deal should take between 60 and 90 days, and “no issues are expected.” That means the new owners should take over in time for the 2022 NFL season.

Ouch :smh:
 
I see Watson getting cut if more of these women come forward. They are going to have to somehow come up with sort of settlement. Baker might be right back at QB.

Commish is going to suspend him for the season. Too many civil cases ongoing to have him actively playing at such a high level position in the NFL.

Watson just made some horrible life decisions.

Sadly he could've settled this shit after the grand jury declined to pursue charges, but he wanted to fight to prove his innocence :hmm: and now this shit has snowballed out of control. :hithead:
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :angry: :curse: :hithead:






NBC Has Decided To Replace Drew Brees On Sunday Night Football With...Jason Garrett?

NY Post- Former Cowboys coach Jason Garrett will replace Drew Brees on NBC’s NFL pregame show, “Football Night in America,” The Post has learned. Garrett could still also succeed Brees as NBC’s Notre Dame game analyst, but a final decision has not been made there, according to sources.
Garrett has been calling USFL games for NBC this spring with Jac Collinsworth. Collinsworth, a Notre Dame graduate and the son of Cris Collinsworth, is a candidate for the play-by-play position.

What, and I cannot stress the next part of this sentence enough, the FUCK is this? TV networks have been throwing around money all willy nilly like the Rams when it comes to hiring announcers yet somehow NBC has been waiting all day to hire the guy that haunted two of the biggest NFL franchises for years and has been a clapping punchline for the other 30 fanbases for Sunday Night. Bezos is going after Marshawn Lynch for TNF. ESPN already has the Manning brothers for MNF. But the Peacock is trying to land a boring dude that did this at his last job.





Sunday Night Football is already stressful enough chasing my bets from the afternoon and needing my fantasy players to outperform projections by 10 points all as a John Williams score plays in the background. But having to listen to a guy that ran an offense from the 1990s in the 2020s and ruined two years of my sweet Daniel is the last thing I should have to deal with, no matter how great it was to see him fuck the Cowboys up year after year. So I guess fuck you Drew Brees for being so meh at your job that NBC would rather hear the takes of a blah coach over those of a Hall of Fame QB.

Guess we'll be hearing a lot of clapping instead of actual commentary
