You Have $500 Million
 

What professional franchise would you buy ??? Any sport....


I must be sick, but I'd take the Royals... They will be up and coming in the next year or two...

Dallas Mavericks. Phoenix Suns, a close second.

I'd buy the Texas Rangers.

Any one who doesn't pick the Chiefs isn't a true fan.

I would buy the Los Angeles Lakers.

500 million wouldnt buy you any NFL franchise so i would go with the Royals and have money left over to buy the Magic or some NHL to bring to Sprint Center.

The Yankees. So I could run them into the ground and watch all of New York suffer.

$500 million? Rules out the Yankees

I disagree. I'd rather be a FAN of the Chiefs than own them.

Every Arena League team.

I would say the Chiefs, but according to Forbes, they would cost me $700 million, and I'd probably want to keep an extra few million for a rainy day, so that doesn't seem like a possibility.
I could, however, buy the Red Sox, so I'll go with them. Great fans and a competitive division.

500 mil won't buy the Chiefs, and leave you with any operating money.

I think I'd buy an Arena League team.

The Red Sox are less than $500 mil? I'll take that.

Screw that.......If 500 Million landed in my lap, I would buy a shit load of man toys, but take a professional franchise. Hell, I would have to build an extra storage area to hold all the boats, cars, ATV's and other fun crap I would "invest" in. ;)

I'd throw $400M into controlling interest of the Chiefs and take on enough silent partners to make up the balance. Al Davis

Most of you just don't want it enough.

Could buy the Expos and move them to Vegas... MLB owns them right now...

No they got sold to a DC group, MLB has no control over them anymore.

Hell I can buy the Rangers and have 150 million left over!!! That's enough to woo Carrie Underwood into my waiting arms.

But not enough to keep her there.

Bullshit.

Well that blow's !!

I'm assuming that Carrie Underwood has money of her own, so I highly doubt you could woo her into your waiting arms, cause you got nuthin' else.

She doesn't have 150 million...not even close. :)

I read somewhere that Bill Gates could buy every major league Baseball, Basketball and Football team and have money left.

And you could throw in Carrie Underwood also !!!

I'm guessing she has enough to live without it, as long as it comes with you.

I would buy the Raiders so that I could then change them to the "A** Spelunkers"

Remember, we're talking about a woman here.

Gochiefs mother used to tie a pork chop around his neck so the dog would play with him.

And she used to tie a brontosaurus flank around yours.

Stop all the food talk !!! I'm getting hungry again !!!

True, but more importantly, we're talking about you here.

I'd buy the Boston Red Sox....and then move them to New York.

****ing Red Sox fans can suck my balls!

I'd buy a $500 million dollar car.

And I'd pull you over.

I would buy Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, and that herpes encrusted RB/QB from Atlanta and move them all to Antartica with absolutely zero media contact. I might buy Brett Favre if there was enough left over.

Inventive.

Yeah right, I'd have wings put on my car and I would fly away!

I'd buy the Cubs or the Chiefs. I'd only want to own a team that I love.

While my love for the Chiefs is mush greater than my feelings for the Cubs, I'd have to say I'd buy the Cubs. 160 gaves vs 16, Chicago vs KC.

Plus no matted how bad either team is, I'm pretty sure I'd fill the stadiums.

I'ld buy the Suns
and then I'ld buy the winning team of the Lingerie Bowl

hell I'ld buy all the teams and run it against the arena league

Lakers no doubt.

He is now so rich they cannot even accurately estimate how rich. I have read anywhere from 25 to 40 billion dollars as his personal fortune. So much it is not really comprehensible to me.

Id buy the Texas Rangers and finally make them contenders.

I would buy a KingAir 350 or a LearJet and head to the South Pacific and search for Emila Airhart..(spelling?)

I would post on the Chiefsplanet when I found her and only when I found her.

One year of Chiefs salary. Sign the players that need signed to one year contracts. Win the damn SuperBowl!!!!

I'd buy the broncos, sign as many cheap players I could. Spend little money on anything and bring in big profits.

That way, I make money while the broncos lose.

First i'd spend whatever it took to get to do two chicks at once, then id go from there based on whatevers left over.

Anybody want to take up a collection to help him out?

I'd buy the Broncos and run that franchise into the ground. if not that, I would buy Pride Fighting Championship

See post 46.

apples and oranges. you're talking about sustaining a crappy franchise, I'm talking about destroying it in an irrecovable fashion.

I'd buy the UFC and return it to a watchable MMA franchise.

is it not worth watching ATM? the latest card looked good on paper.

i'd buy the royals from the evil david glass, and return them to glory...
...and then do two chicks at once.

I wouldn't buy any franchise for $500 million because there isn't a franchise worth owning for that.

tj, love your avitar. that was the motto for my friends and i for the turkeyday game at arrowhead. stolen right from ATHF like the picture.

start a non-profit organization to help the less fortunate

The Kansas City Royals?

ROFL
It may not make much money, the the royals are not non-profit

SPChief, I would also fly back to the states and make sure you were personally flown to each and every Chiefs game home and away for the rest of your life.

So please lead the charge on the donations, so I can fulfill a life long dream of retiring in the south pacific.

I would buy as much land around Mile High as I could, then I would build gravel/dirt parking lots and charge $50.00/event for parking. I would buy anything within a 3 mile radius of Donkland. Eithier I would make a ton of money(enough to buy a franchise) or destroy the Donks franchise! :evil:

I'd start an expansion NFL team in NW Arkansas, immediately hire Houson Nuttless as HC, just so he couldn't coach the Hogs anymore...

I would buy the Montgomery Biscuits and pocket the rest.

I'd buy the girls gone wild island.

PhilFree:arrow:

continued thoughts, this organization would then give it all away to help normal people right here in america.

buy extra chiefs tickets for one game and then give them all away randomly.

go to the store and foot the food bill for everyone that comes in for the next hour.

reward acts of kindness seen around town. Someone picks up some trash, and reward them with $50. See someone help a stranger with car problems, buy them both a new car, or give them a few thousand dollars, something to that effect.

the greater the acts of kindness the greater the reward. Soon people would be treating each other better just in hopes that me or my workers would be near by to reward them, soon the world could actually be a little, very little I agree, but better none the less.

take a van full of cheeseburgers/sandwiches from a few mom and pop resturaunts (NOT a big chain) and hand them out to random people, preferably the less fortunate, but anyone that wants one.


the only requirement is humanity.
