Thanks Ted. I've heard his name mentioned and if he keeps the team in Buffalo I'm all for it. You would think a net worth of a billion dollars would mean something, but when you are talking NFL franchises, multiple billions are apparently needed. Our greatest hope was that Mr. Buffalo Bill, Jim Kelly, was putting together a contingent to buy the Bills and secure their future in western NY. But his very sad battle with cancer has made that dream unlikely.
Ted, any room on da' Bears bandwagon... just in case I need a new team? I would never-ever support a team called the LA Bills or, God forbid, the Toronto Bills.
Never understood why a sport franchise would keep an unrelated and very insignificant surname when they move from that locale to another.
For example, the Minnesota "Lake-rs" move to LA where their source water is a 233 mile waterway. I guess the LA Aquaducts just doesn't work. Or the New Orleans Jazz move to Utah where Jazz is not the first type of music you hear on the radio in Provo, UT in the morning...maybe they should have gone with Utah (Mormon...maybe even Morewomen).
The Bills can only move to Billings, Montana where there still are Buffalo even though most are now Ted Turner's pets.
Ted Lerner, owner of the Washington Nationals and possibly the richest owner in MLB, made/makes his money in commercial real estate. Not necessarily strict finance, but maybe close?
Wesley Edens and Marc Lasry are two hedge fund guys who just bought the Milwaukee Bucks.

It matters. it is not OT. How much money Gundlach has in his funds we will never know because of the way fund ownership is reported in SAI. How many millions is he spending on the NFL team? If he is spending more on NFL team than in his funds, stands to reason where his real interest lies.
My only involvement with Gundlach is through RNDLX. And I will question that based on what he is doing.
