The Vikings were just approved for sale at $600 million.

$1 Billion? For the Saints? Talk about overpriced. Someone is wanting to get that team to Los Angeles bad.

What happened to the guy from Phoenix who was supposed to by the Vikings? I know I read there ere some concerns about his net worth but I never saw an article explaining the change to this Wylf guy.

Does it include the Superdome or something? I doubt there's a huge gap in value between NFL teams, regardless of performance, since revenues are fairly close.

He couldnt come up with the cash to be the majority owner. Fowler is still a member of the investment group. Ziggy, the new main guy, is loaded. He plans on building a stadium and then development the land around it.. Kinda like a Vikingsville. Should be interesting to watch.

this">This should explain the Viking situation. I even spelled the Dude's names wrong.

Los Angeles Saints, which would mean The Angels Saints...yea, talk about oxymoronic.

If that includes the stadium, then I'd think that's about right, pricewise.
