Title: Ross looking to sell? Post by: Landshark on August 25, 2012, 11:23:08 am Breaking news on NFL Network. Stephen Ross is looking to sell the majority ownership of the team. I guess the idiot finally realizes what he got himself into.

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. It might be new owner who see's $$$$$$$$ in LA! Nothing surprises me anymore Title: Re: Ross looking to sell? Post by: EKnight on August 25, 2012, 12:46:47 pm Can you link this? I can't find anything online at all backing the story up. -EK
Title: Re: Ross looking to sell? Post by: MikeO on August 25, 2012, 12:53:20 pm I have been looking online for it as well and I don't see anything. I just turned on NFL Network and am watching the scroll. So, if it pops up there I will verify.
Title: Re: Ross looking to sell? Post by: EKnight on August 25, 2012, 12:57:05 pm Thanks. Not doubting you, just wonder what the heck is going on! -EK

Title: Re: Ross looking to sell? Post by: Landshark on August 25, 2012, 01:06:22 pm Just saw it scrolling as I was drinking my morning coffee. I'm curious to know if this has any teeth
Title: Re: Ross looking to sell? Post by: MikeO on August 25, 2012, 01:09:42 pm Just saw it scrolling as I was drinking my morning coffee. I'm curious to know if thus has any teeth I don't doubt you but I have had on NFL Network for 15 min and nothing. I checked 4 other "more active" Dolphins fan message boards than this one, nothing. I did see one guy tweet the same thing you did though. So unless you two have magic TV sets, I am thinking something went across that scroll...lol Title: Re: Ross looking to sell?

Post by: tubba marxxx on August 25, 2012, 01:28:35 pm Miami has about 1.5 million "likes" n facebook. maybe if we all chip in $10, we can do what Green Bay does
Title: Re: Ross looking to sell? Post by: MikeO on August 25, 2012, 01:30:03 pm Can't the owner of the HEAT Arison just buy the Fins? I am no HEAT fan, but at least the guy has a clue how to run a professional sports team.
Title: Re: Ross looking to sell? Post by: tubba marxxx on August 25, 2012, 01:34:35 pm and before someone chimes in on how Marino should buy the Dolphins..his estimated net value, as of 2011, is only $35 million. I say only because you need need to be a billionaire to own a team

I say only because you need need to be a billionaire to own a team He has enough to lead a group if he lined up the right investors. But that is very time consuming and takes months if not a couple years to do. Jim Kelly has been trying to buy the Bills from old man Ralph Wilson for years and he put together a group. Wilson just won't sell. That is Jim Kelly, I am sure Marino could find enough big money investors and throw something together. But its unlikely. Title: Re: Ross looking to sell?

Got a link?Title: Re: Ross looking to sell? Post by: MikeO on August 26, 2012, 03:23:50 am From talking to a couple people today i guess it did go across the bottom of the NFL Network this morning on their scroll two times. Then never again. Either they took it down ASAP once they figured out they got bad information. Or somehow someone was just messing around with their scroll having fun and put it up there.
Either way as of now it seems to be a BS story Title: Re: Ross looking to sell?

Post by: Dave Gray on August 26, 2012, 02:35:29 pm Interesting.
I want to leave this thread up. It does have a question in the title, plus everyone in the thread was honest and we got to the bottom of it. It's not like anyone came in here making false claims. I think it's still a story, however, being that it did make it across the NFL network scroll. I wonder if there's anything to this -- just a rumor? Nothing more??? Title: Re: Ross looking to sell?

I put the question mark because I didn't know if the story had teeth or not. I know what I saw, but not everything that scrolls across NFL Network's ticker actually takes place. I know threads with news stories that aren't true are usually locked or deleted, so I was just trying to go by the rules. Title: Re: Ross looking to sell?

There was another time last year where a story (I think a Jets story) scrolled at the bottom for like an hour or two before it got removed for being false. I vaguly remember that. |
