    Vincent Viola! A Brooklyn self made billionaire! He owns the Florida Panthers and was in the running to buy the Mets. Vinny is a brilliant businessman, sports savvy and a great guy! He’s worth 3.6 billion.

    This has as much to do with woody as it does to anyone of us. He has no connection to j&j

    The move should be to Yonkers. Many places close to 87 to develop and in a much cheaper market than Manhattan.

    Yeah, didn’t Gruden say the league wants to force Snyder out and have Bezos buy them? That obviously didn’t happen, but is it because Snyder blocked it, or does Bezos not want in?

    Has anyone actually heard or seen anything indicating Bezos wants a football team?

    And I don’t want to scare anybody, but if you remember when Woody bought the team, the other rumored interested name?…NY’s greatest claim to fame and possible new owner…James DOLAN!

    If Francesa said it then its not happening. But we can dream!

    I nominate Steve Cohen as others have mentioned. Can you imagine the Jets back in NY, playing in Shea (Citified) or close to it? That would charge the fan base big time.

    Like I said, we can dream.

    Well since Soxxx can't remember if he bought it 2015 or 2017, he likely forgot his access code to his crypto wallet. All those billions there but can't get to it.

    Francesa is a blowhard but when it comes to stuff like this he does have some connections. I remember when he was still at WFAN he had mentioned that he had heard rumors of the Islanders building a new arena near the Belmont racetrack. This was at a time when the Isles had left Nassau and were playing at Barclay's. All these years later look at where the Isles are. Who knows if/when it will happen but I wouldn't dismiss it completely. Also don't the Jets have an opt out in their lease where they can leave MetLife at some point.

    Set up ownership like the Packers.

    Give it... to the people!

    I’d vote for Larry David, that would be pretty, pretty, pretty good.

    More click bait, as bad or horrible as this organization is, its one of the most profitable, probably just another ploy to fet the fanbase excited.

    The worst thing about the NFL is that there is dead time between games. Filling up the week requires all kinds of opinions and unsorced stories. Never take anything to seriously except wins and loses on Sunday.

    Agree he's a weirdo and getting worse--but what he did to keep Tesla on track early was heroic--slept in the factory for weeks while managing production problems. There's no way we're SOJ with that dude owning.

    But he is a horrible C***

    His erm failed takeover of Twatter was embarrassing enough and his calling that rescuer guy a nonce was wrong on many levels.

    He is probably one of the only people worse than the talcum powder bums.
