I just googled it. I didnt even realize... The USA meaning of a billion is a thousand million, or one followed by nine noughts (1,000,000,000). Google lists Jim Irsay's Net Worth at 3 billion... So I guess the offer is possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoolMagnet Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Puts things in perspective. Tonight, my next-door neighbor was telling me they are selling their beach properties. She also said they sold a building and property they were previously leasing to a salvation army-type 2nd hand (donation driven) store. For $5.5 million. I thought "nice, I think i'll buy the island next to Johnny Depp." In Irsay's case, I'd say "nice, i think i'll buy the country next to...." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Businesses get bought and sold for similar amount all the time. The person probably does have 3.2 billion in cash that is true but that is not a requirement nor is that how these transactions happen.

DougDew Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 No matter who the owner is, I'd expect the Colts to stay in INdy. Where else would they go? There aren't that many other cities that the NFL can go to, at least in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Antonio has been looking for a team, they were really trying to get the Raiders before they decided to go to Las Vegas, and already have the Alamodome, although I’m sure it’s quite outdated to today’s standards, definitely no Lucas Oil Stadium. Doubt that would ever happen, though. I might be moving down there in the next few years so a guy can dream right, LOL! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodall has been wanting to have a team in a different country too. I don't like that idea unless it is Toronto. There are over 600 billionaires in the USA alone. If I was a billionaire, I would be making offers to buy NFL teams too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clem-Dog Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 If sold, why would the Colts move away from Indy? Indy is actually one of the NFL's 10 largest cities with a population larger than Boston, Cincy, Cleveland, Detroit, Nashville, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Baltimore, KC and on and on. This is not 1984 anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
