Achieving A Professional Football Team In Red Zone By Mike Lupica

If you owned a professional football team and someone offered you 250 million dollars for a partnership in the position, would you accept it? I am reading Red Zone by Mike Lupica and I finished it (340 pages). The book is about a man named Jack Molloy. Jack inherits half an NFL football team from his dad. When taking a break from the team and letting his brothers manage things around the association, he receives a call from his brother saying he sold his half of the team to famous businessman Dick Miles.
