nuordr Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 The owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Manchester United has died today at the age of 85 with a net worth of approximately $4 billion. . I am curious if his sons will continue to run the day-to-day business or if they will sell the teams they own. I bet some U.K. fans are hoping they sell the team back to an England born owner. No matter what happens to the Bucs and United, I believe the man should be know for turning around a horrible NFL team and turning them into a Superbowl champion.

dfwabel Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I would rather be dead than be 85 and have to watch Lovie's mismanagement of timeouts and challenges too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 No matter what happens to the Bucs and United, I believe the man should be know for turning around a horrible NFL team and turning them into a Superbowl champion. Yeah, pretty much. I thought he ran the Bucs like a total dope for the last decade, but he finally brought the Bucs the ultimate prize, no matter if he backed into it or not (I don't think he did, but I can understand the argument). He made just enough good decisions to make the Bucs fun to watch for awhile, and that's enough for me.

DustDevil61 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Wellp, cue the Bucs to L.A. rumors..........If it makes you feel any better, there was a 1926 travelling team named the Los Angeles Buccaneers. What were we talking about again? Seriously, though, I don't see anything happening, if for no other reason the Raiders, Rams, and Chargers are miles in front for the LA sweepstakes. I also can't see Glazer's family selling the team so quickly. But I probably digress. http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 How did he get around the "can't own teams in different cities" rule... or was he the impetus for the rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Stan Kroenke owns the St. Louis Rams and Arsenal. I don't really think you could enforce this kind of stuff across continents.Now, Kroenke's family also owns the Denver Nuggets, but I'm pretty sure that the Nuggets are technically owned by one of Kroenke's sons or something to circumvent that rule you speak of.At the same rate, there's plenty I don't know about this stuff, so take everything I just said with plenty of grains of salt.

rams80 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 The exact rule states that NFL owners can't own major league teams in other NFL markets for fear of cross-promotion. So EPL teams are kosher by definition and will be until somebody sets up shop in London.

dfwabel Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 FWIWhttp://www.theofficialreview.com/nfl-cross-ownership-rules/In the 1950s, as other professional football leagues tried to gain a foothold, the NFL Commissioner first announced a policy against a team owner maintaining a controlling interest in a team of a competing league. Various League resolutions more formally banning cross-ownership were adopted in the late 1960s and 1970s. This development came in part as a response to the emergence of the North American Soccer League, whose main cheerleader was Lamar Hunt, owner of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs. Finally, in 1978, the NFL amended its Constitution and Bylaws to expressly prohibit a majority owner, or one of the owner’s close relatives, from having a controlling or substantial interest in another major team sport, defined to include baseball, basketball, hockey, and soccer. In the ugly antitrust battle that ensued between the NASL and the NFL, a federal appellate court struck down the NFL’s cross-ownership ban on the grounds that it adversely affected competition in the capital market for the purchase of sports franchises (see NASL v. NFL).In the aftermath of the 1980s antitrust litigation, the League operated as if the cross-ownership ban was still in effect, but authorized occasional exceptions (e.g., permitting Wayne Huizenga to own both the Miami Dolphins and Florida Marlins, and permitting Paul Allen to own both the Seattle Seahawks and Portland Trail Blazers). The League codified this approach in an amendment to its Constitution and Bylaws that allows cross-ownership in another major league sports team in two narrow circumstances: (1) if the two franchises are in the same city, or (2) if the other league’s franchise is in a neutral market, defined as one that doesn’t currently host an NFL team and is not deemed a potential NFL city. Enforcement of the rule has been flexible, giving new controlling owners of NFL teams time to divest conflicting interests, and to do so in creative ways — for instance St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke was allowed to satisfy the rule by transferring ownership interest in his Denver clubs (the NBA Nuggets and the NHL Avalanche) to his son Josh Kroenke. Push has never really come to shove, however, and it is unclear how the NFL would have applied its current cross-ownership ban if Kroenke had been the winning bidder for the L.A. Dodgers back in 2012 (the League considers the L.A. market to be a potential team location although there’s no NFL team there now).The NFL’s current cross-ownership rules arguably creates efficiencies that should save it from antitrust scrutiny. Prohibiting certain types of owner involvement in other leagues assures owners will focus their efforts on the NFL’s success. Cross-ownership creates special problems in leagues like the NFL where much of the revenue is shared among team owners. Conflicts of interest could arise over negotiations for national broadcast rights if owners had teams in different leagues in multiple cities. In this setting, the ban is necessary to block owners from freeriding on the investments of their fellow owners, for example, by using a league’s confidential information and business methods to assist a league in another professional sport. Thus, there’s little conceptual difference between the NFL’s cross-ownership ban and widely-endorsed joint venture non-competition agreements that are designed to secure members’ undivided loyalty. On the other hand, on balance it makes sense to allow owners to take advantage of economies of scale and operational synergies created through ownership of multiple franchises in the same city. To the extent the NFL plays a role in competition at the local level for sponsorship, ticket sales, luxury suite sales, etc., limiting cross-ownership to the same city or a neutral market defuses any risk that an NFL owner could abuse cross-ownership access to confidential competitive business information about another team’s local competitive efforts.

dfwabel Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I remember Glazer most because I met him at the Detroit Metro Airport on Thursday, October 5, 2005 when we were both transferring planes.I noticed who he was, and since I had time inbetween my DET-BOS flight, I did ask him if he needed help and I carried his rolling carry-on to his gate. He really was unassuming.I also remember that Thursday because I had two tickets to the 100th Texas/OU game over that weekend, but I had to interview in Boston on that Friday and Saturday, so I sold those tix to someone I don't talk to and was given tix a rainy BC game (where Mathias Kiwanuka was hurt) and I was delayed heading back home due to storms in Memphis.But I was able to get Rose Bowl tickets that year.
