RoyBatty is alive

Here is more to that story. Back in 1998, his final NFL season, team owner Pat Bowlen came to John with an offer. At the time, John was owed $21 million in deferred salary (à la Bobby Bonilla). Bowlen's offer was simple: #1: John could buy 10% of the team for $15 million. #2: John could have another 10% if he agreed to relinquish the $21 million deferred salary. In other words, for a combined $36 million (with only $15 million of cash coming out of his bank on day one), John Elway could have bought 20% of the Broncos. At that level, Bowlen was offering 20% of the Broncos at a $180 million overall team valuation. As if that offer wasn't generous enough, Pat gave John a 100% risk-free insurance policy. If after five years John wanted out, he could sell his stake back to Bowlen for his purchase price plus $5 million. So not only risk free, literally get paid $5 million if he changed his mind. And in case you are wondering if Elway could have afforded $15 million down in 1998, at that point he had earned $50 million in NFL salary, around $20 million from endorsements AND just one year earlier had sold his John Elway Autos franchise for $82.5 million. So $15 million for a risk-free opportunity to own 20% of an NFL team. What did John decide? He declined. And today that officially became an absolutely horrendous decision… As if that wasn't painful enough, there's more pain in this story for John Elway. Instead of buying 20% of the Broncos, John ended up taking that same down payment amount, $15 million, and invested it in what eventually proved to be a $150 million Ponzi scheme. Not only did John NOT make any return on the $15 million, he lost a bit more than half of his investment. So in essence, instead of taking $15 million and turning it into $900 million, John took $15 million and turned it into $7 million

Yes it was a good article. With these two new allegations, especially the detail of the last one, I think they have enough to warrant to sit another grand jury and leave him open for criminal charges. Knowing Harris county, I think they just want this to go away and would be highly reluctant to waste any more time and money on this.

Rusty Hardin is losing this battle badly. He would have been much better to just sfu Re the $5,000, Hardin brought that out trying to pain Watson as some good Samaritan, he said her spa needed the $ and Watson gave it to her THEN this more realistic and jury enticing tidbit came out about the $5,000.

A lot are, I dont know the percentage (obviously) but my guess is a lot were Instagram models (if that is the term) as I would bet he he picked who he thought was good looking. Some others were legit massage therapists, a lot of massage therapists networking and recommendations. Deshaun was active in the offseason, sounds like a sick obsession.

He drove about 40 miles to a suburb and i think he flew at at least one in and has had complaints now in several different states.

What do you mean the contracts "tolls"?

I was going to write the same thing but I assume the term "half" here was just an off the cuff wild ass guess.

No it doesnt have to be proven, these are all civil cases. But imagine if she did save some of his dna on her clothes',, go down in history with make Monica Lewinskys blue dress.

Actually I saw that quote , not to nitpick but since that is a misquote in the 24th lawsuit by Buzbee, Hardin didnt say they were "common" , he said some of your listeners may or may not have had happy endings after a massage. And no I am not defending Hardin at all,, it was a laughably bad comment from a wildly over priced/over publicized lawyer.

Amazing with Dabol et al at the Giants the ex bill comments. Jon Feliciano is great, their new HC,GM, Oline Coach are great, Matt Breida was underappreciated and former Bill QB says Daniels Jones is the hardest worker he has ever seen. SHOCKER!

Jessica Pegula had incredible success thus far at the French Open. She made it to the quarter finals where she lost to #1 tennis player but in the Womens Double, her and Coco Guaf are in the finals. This as far as Jessica has ever made in a major it and she is close to a top 10 in the world. There was a thread a few years ago about Jessica, boy would I love to have that revisited. So many gratuitous Jason Croom comments and many accused her of being a rich girl playing with her parents money on a lark.....a lot of class envy, misogyny and jealousy in the thread.

That tells me Dabol is not the OC guru many people have touted him as.

Fine by me. I didnt enjoy it at all. The good natured ribbing got old and stale, most comments weren't even close to funny. All I did learn is Brady either can't putt or cant read a green with a darn.

I am "oozing with jealousy and hate"? Actually I am trying to control my laughter. You might wan to calm down.

I was referencing the NIL which has been in place since June of last year so the impact on the last two titles games has been insignificant, certainly totally irrelevant for the one two years ago.. Understand? Yes, what other profound comments can I help you with? Saban's reaction/lashing out is exactly a reflection of what I wrote, he is dinosaur and he lost Alabama's incredible advantage in recruiting. And yes he might win some more titles in the future but he is going to have to adapt and get lucky, the days of Alabama dominating College football are ending.

Can't argue with that list...except maybe DeAndre Hopkins facing a suspension.

Just read his arrest history, I had no idea (assuming Wikipedia is somewhat legit). I would assert that alone might be enough for any team to not want him as HC.

I care what he has to say and he is no "clown". Every year the why isnt Bienemy HC comes up and this is certainly a very plausible response. It isnt the old NFL where the HC we a demigod.

Wash your hand, go to the bathroom.

For the amount of $ he has made, not ridiculously expensive or tacky. Beautiful. ''1,488 sq ft walk in closest, about the size of my first house.

Great to hear. If he actually serves out his 6 year contract I have to imagine that translates to at least 2 Super Bowl victories, Von Miller into the HOF and have him retire as a Bill. A lot to ask for, yes...unrealistic, no not at all. ROUSSEAU has all indications of having a breakout year especially getting bigger, a year experience and some V Miller mentorship.

Keep the faith Atlanta Boy and, imo, dont watch the news except for sports and weather. And Go Bills!!!

Actually not a bad idea considering what a joke it has become

No it doesnt change the tragedy but maybe, just maybe some drunk wil think before they drink to such excess away from where they are staying and as you allude to, I have to believe if makes the truck driver feel a lot better and now I cant believe anyone would try to sue him/her/
