What am I bid for the World Champions? Going once, going twice... Let's start a fund! I'm sure that if we all pool our loose change we can make a reasonable offer. (Reminds me of when Lorne Michaels/Saturday Night Live offered the Beatles $3,000 to reunite on their show...) https://www.nfl.com/news...
