Being an NFL team owner is often described as one of the country's most exclusive memberships.
Now, after seeing only three team sales this decade, a trio of clubs simultaneously find themselves potentially ready to change hands, underscoring that the bear market and credit crisis have done little to dampen the allure of owning one of the league's 32 teams. The possible sales also reflect the

Just over a week until the ‘action’ begins, if ever a friendly could be called that, and this morning the smoke and mirrors in the warped mind of a certain Madrileño President have been denied by the Club. It is probably just as well that the last Harry Potter book is out soon because if Ramon Calderon ever wrote his memoirs, they would be filed under the Fantasy section of your local bookshop and wipe the floor with Ms. Rowlings creation. I was surprised that the Arsenal issued a statement denying that a meeting ever took place between Mijatovic and Wenger because, well, did anyone believe that they had? OK, from a PR point of view, it might have nipped the rumours in the bud today and I guess stopped some idle hack linking that to the sale of Henry (incidentally reputedly because ‘physiological statistics’ indicated he was ‘past his prime’).
