I,for one, refuse to believe Ellis has spent his time as CEO perfecting origami. Instead, he has been schmoozing with very wealth business types and making a list of those who are like minded and would be candidates to be mentored in the purchase of the Denver Broncos. The NFL can force the sale of the team if the situation negatively impacts the NFL. And, like was mentioned earlier, Ellis and Goodell are pretty tight, so any action by the NFL would be leaked to Ellis and he can initiate his good old boy team to be Jim Dandy to the Rescue, know in advance what it will take to make the purchase and, of course, Ellis would be retained in a capacity commiserate with his talents. Maybe not a bad deal if the buyers are Colorado based and intend on keeping the Broncos here and have have the same mindset as Pat Bowlen; build a winning franchise.
