Actually kind of scary. Payroll has been great lately. A new owner could change that
Arthur blank
If he didn't get into it when AOL Time Warner sold, I'd have a hard time believing he would now well over a decade later.Quote:

Dudes getting older and wants to win a ring. Braves offer him a better opportunity at that than the Falcons anytime soon. He could just sell the Falcons and buy the Braves. Lol.Quote:

If you had the money, you'd be a fool not to buy a sports team. Especially one as popular as the Braves are in the South. Sports team values have more than tripled in the last 20-30 years. Some teams have sold as much as 10-15 times more than what they were bought for in the early-mid 90's. Plus you get to count any losses off on taxes.
Arthur Blank is a great owner who deserves something much better than a cursed Falcons franchise. I wish he bought the team 20 years ago.Quote:

He tried to buy them when that went down but they wanted the stock swap from Liberty so they sold to them.Quote:

Maybe Dan Cathy will buy them. We could take Sundays off and make sure all the black players have nice shiny shoes.
No way Blank is buying another major franchise at 81 years old.
