Rams for sale, or not

If no news is good news, what is very little news equal to?

We learned earlier this week that Rams ownership is seriously considering the offers of three ownership groups for the team. We know one of those is Dave Checketts' group, and that group is committed to keeping the team in St. Louis. We don't know the other two groups at all, or their commitment to keeping the team here. We don't know if 60% (the Rosenbloom's share) is going to be sold or if the whole team is going to be sold. (The bids are apparently in the $700-800 million range, expressed as total franchise value). A decision might be made by April. Or not. The fourth option is the Rosenblooms holding on to the team, which they are considering. We don't know who the front-runners are to buy the team. We don't know what Stan Kroenke's going to do. Rumor is he's going to sit tight on his 40%.

It's a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing so far, like that one dude said once.

Here's Jim Thomas' original article. Good info though little to draw a conclusion from.
