X Perspective

Feeds treat a franchise recap as already sold.

The Colts remain under family control with Carlie Irsay-Gordon as principal owner. [1] Sports Business Journal filed the long game without a named buyer. [1] Monday has no sale in fetched copy. A private-equity weighing is not a closing. Print a weighing. Do not print a sold franchise.

The NFL still waits on Wednesday night. That opener is not this desk. Leave a named sale to the edition that owns a named sale. A family hold is not a transaction. Print a weighing. Print not a buyer.

Print a weighing. Monday is not a Colts sale. Irsay-Gordon shaping a club is not a buyer. Print a weighing as Monday's named franchise hold. A 10 percent rumor is still not a closing. Print a family hold as still not a sale. A 10 percent rumor without a named buyer is conversation, not commerce. Monday hears the conversation.

Buyers emerge by announcement. Monday has announcements about everything except a sale.

Heard conversations continue; Monday hears. Hearing is the update. Buyers announce.

Ten percent without a name is still a rumor. Commerce waits on a buyer. The Irsay family hold is still a hold.

Carlie Irsay-Gordon remains the Colts' principal owner, and Sports Business Journal named no buyer. A 10 percent slice without a name is conversation, not commerce. Labor Day sold no franchise. Private-equity weighing is not a closing.
Labor Day sold no franchise. Carlie remains principal owner. A nameless 10 percent slice is conversation.

Labor Day sold no franchise. Carlie remains principal owner. Monday sold no franchise.

Labor Day sold no franchise. Carlie remains principal owner. Monday sold no franchise.
