Can Rush Limbaugh get in on that deal, or is he too political?

Even with their combined money, I’m pretty sure they’ll be a couple billion short.

They’re also stupid if they think they’ll make a lot of money the next few years.

I hope they buy the new Black Panthers because they will run it into the ground, destroy football and lose all their money.

I hope nobody of good virtue puts a dime into this. Let all the leftists go bankrupt together.

Don’t hold stock in any company that doesn’t cancel its season tickets to a P Diddy/Colon Kaepernik franchise.

When Shad Khan bought the Jags the cost was $760 million. I seriously doubt these people have that kind of $$. Or am I out in left field?

Why do regional accents follow regional geography except for millions who constitute the bulk of the 13.9 million?
