Contracts are made to be broken.

so who's going to take out the Ford Family so Illitch can buy the Lions ?

...with "take-out" being the operative word in that sentence. While I am not prone to violence, a public beheading and impaling of the Wililam Clay Ford family is warranted since Detroiters have been suffering at their hands since 1963. :rant: Not that I am angry mind you.

NFL's cross-ownership rules prevent Illitch from owning the Lions.

edit: strike that, just read that the cross-ownership rules were relaxed to let them have teams in their NFL market, or a market without a team, just not in a competing market.

I was gonna say, didn't the Hizinga's own the Dolphins as well as other Professional teams.

Huizenga owned both the Dolphins and the Marlins
