    I read on a board that someone suggested that Trump might buy us. Can't remember where.

    I saw a video showing thousand and thousand of Blazer fans cheering and tailgating because Trump was going to buy the team.

    While I saw it widely reported on 9-11, there is no evidence that it actually happened.

    Well Uncle Paul isn't going to live forever and his sister seems like a real piece of shit so why not?

    As for Merritt, it seems like he's done a pretty good job building a brand with the Timbers and understands sports management, so I assume some of those qualities would translate to owning an NBA team.

    Either way, must be a slow news day at the Gory Onion.

    I also heard that rumor. I think it deserves its own thread.

    Paulson owns a soccer team, which means he doesn't have any experience owning a professional sports team.

    So he'll/he'd probably be a little bit like Mark Cuban was when he bought the Mavericks?
