NFL approves takeover of Rams

Stan Kroenke already owns two Denver-based teams, the NBA's Nuggets and NHL's Colorado Avalanche.

The NFL has unanimously approved a proposal for Stan Kroenke to take over as majority owner of the St Louis Rams as long as he turns over control of his NBA and NHL teams to his son. Kroenke owns 40 per cent of the Rams and has exercised an option to buy the remaining 60 per cent of the team from the Rosenbloom family for a reported $750 million (Dh2.7 billion). Kroenke already owns two Denver-based teams, the NBA's Nuggets and NHL's Colorado Avalanche.

Meanwhile, the NFL fined Chad Ochocinco, the Cincinnati Bengals receiver, US$25,000 for the timing of his tweets. The league said that Ochocinco's messages appeared on his Twitter page during a prohibited time at the Bengals-Eagles pre-season game on Friday night. One of his tweets read, in part,"Man Im sick of getting hit like that. ... Tylenolplease".
