ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) – Former NBA stars Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady are amongst a group the NFL is considering purchasing non-controlling minority interest in the Buffalo Billsa person with knowledge of the league’s finance committee agenda told The Associated Press on Monday.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the league didn’t provide an agenda for Tuesday’s committee meeting. The committee can even consider Ares Management’s offer to buy a 10% stake in the Miami Dolphins, the person said.

Sports Business Journal first reported that the commission was considering potential buyers.

Tom Brady was also on the agenda, the person said, in an expected sequel after the seven-time Super Bowl champion acquired a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders last month.

The Bills declined to comment on potential investors, saying in a statement that the process is ongoing and requires approval from the NFL.

Carter, McGrady and MLS player Jozy Altidore have joined Gridiron Capital managing partner Tom Burger in a consortium in search of to buy a 10.6% stake in the Bills, the person said. Gridiron Capital’s share could be roughly 1.4%.

As part of the deal, one other group, Arctos Partners, would buy a 10% stake in the Bills, leaving owners Terry and Kim Pegula to maintain a controlling stake in the team of greater than 79%.

Carter, 47, and McGrady, 45, are cousins, each were inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and spent two years as teammates with the Toronto Raptors. The two attended a Bills home game in September and toured the construction site where the Bills’ latest stadium is being built, across the street from the team’s current home. The stadium’s opening is scheduled for June 2026.

In April, the Pegulas family, which also owns the NHL’s Buffalo Sabers, announced it was exploring the possibility of selling a minority stake in the Bills.

The sale was seen as a way for the Pegulas to money in on the franchise’s growing value. The last valuation of the notes according to Forbes magazine was $4.2 billion. The Pegulas purchased the team in 2014 for a then-NFL record $1.4 billion from the estate of Hall of Fame owner and team founder Ralph Wilson.

Cost of bills the cost of the latest stadium increased to over $2.1 billionwith Pegulas on the hook for $1.25 billion, including an estimated $560 million in overruns.

Bills president Pete Guelli told the AP last week that the minority sale of the team was not tied to construction costs.

Is something brewing between Jennifer Lopez and Celine Dion?

Fans actually think so after a video of Lopez seemingly ogling the five-time Grammy Award-winning Canadian singer.

In the clip, the two ladies are dressed in dazzling gowns and taking photos, with Lebanese dressmaker Elie Saab standing between them. On the opposite side of the outspoken JLo were actress Halle Berry and singer Camilla Cabello, who ended up standing next to Dion, presumably to even out the number of women standing on either side of Saab.

However, while taking the photo, fans noticed that Lopez kept seeking to the side, in the direction where Dion was standing. It’s not 100% clear if the “Pretty” actress was actually Dion or something, and the video pans thus far to the right at some points that Dion is even cut out of it. But in the moments where she is visible, she doesn’t take a look at JLo.

Fans reacted to Lopez’s strange behavior in the clip. One person commented under the video: “Look at J.Lo looking at Celine Dion… baby, there’s no comparison, Celine is Queen, come to your senses!!!”

“So uncertain. Celine didn’t even look her way,” one other commenter noted.

“J.Lo can’t take her eyes off Celine,” a third person wrote, while one other replied, “Because she’s jealous of her and that’s the point.”

Another fan simply asked, “Is there a conflict between them?”

All the ladies arrived in Saudi Arabia as guests of Saab’s November 13 runway show titled “1001 Seasons of Elie Saab”, which commemorated the forty fifth anniversary of his legacy. At one point all the women who had posed for the photo got here on stage and the performers were Dion, Lopez and Cabello.

Berry, on the other hand, was there to honor Saab by showing off the same dress he made for her when she won the 2002 Academy Award for Best Leading Actress. That night, Berry made history as the first black woman to win the title and, to this present day, is the only black woman to win the title.

Wearing a gold sequined floor-length gown, Dion graced the event by singing two of her songs: “The Power of Love” and “I’m Alive.”

For her performance, Lopez ditched her dark green halter dress in favor of a silver, sparkly suit. She performed a nearly eight-minute medley, starting with “I Will Survive” after which moving on to her own songs “Waiting for Tonight,” “On the Floor” and “Let’s Get Loud.”

“Fresh & Fit” podcast host Myron “Fit” Gaines has sparked recent levels of shock and demands for his controversial show to be canceled.

Since November 16, offended clips of a black guest named Nia McKenzie being racially abused and attacked by show animators have been circulating, sparking massive backlash online.

Gaines and co-host Walter “Fresh” Weekes have hosted the show since 2020. Their discussions were characterised by the open use of racial slurs and misogynistic views, especially those regarding black women.

At one point, pandering to a volatile audience segment earned them the support of 1.49 million YouTube subscribers, but their success was quickly thwarted by criticism of their content.

Last 12 months, “Fresh and Fit” was suspended from the YouTube Partner Program for frightening outbreaks of violence between guests and hosts, resulting in the demonetization of its videos on the platform. They have since broadcast their show without opposition or censorship on Castle Club, an independent hosting site that requires a subscription.

The episode, which features singer McKenzie and three other women – two of whom aren’t black – was promoted on the web site as “fighting the black n-garilla.” In Gaines’ tweet promoting the clip of the melee, he described it as “Ratchet 304 acting like Ratchet 304 for over 2 hours, picking fights with everyone in the studio including other guests… A fistfight broke out.”

The four-minute video shows him and McKenzie arguing after the talk about whether Black people might be racist and her reasons for voting for Vice President Kamala Harris.

Throughout the heated episode, McKenzie verbally responded, often in her own defense, against comments portraying her as an offended black woman after she was accused of racist treatment of non-black guests. Tempers peaked when Gaines kicked McKenzie off the show, saying, “Get out of here, you fat bitch.”

Show host and casting coordinator Aaron Pogson quickly stepped between them as their argument continued. Weekes followed them, recording the complete experience on his phone.

The other three women remained within the studio. – You silly nigger. “Get out of here, bitch,” Gaines said, dragging McKenzie to the elevator. At several points he even warned, “This is Florida. Don’t give up,” mentioning a state law that permits legally armed residents to shoot at a perceived threat.

Oh look, blax does blax things. What’s recent? https://t.co/Nq7WpULyXq

When the young lady expressed her intention to sue the show, McKenzie was reduced to being called a “stupid bitch” and was repeatedly told she was ugly and fat. After entering the elevator, she threw her purse towards Gaines and was immediately beaten by two women, one in all whom grabbed her by the pinnacle and punched her repeatedly.

The problematic host eventually interrupted the scene as McKenzie began collecting her things from the ground. At one point, Gaines may be heard shouting for somebody to “grab her purse,” though it’s unclear why.

“How can we cancel it for good??? Can we all report him as a collective… to remove him from all platforms” – bored viewer he tweeted.

Someone else he wrote“She fried his a– and he got emotional. Then, when he began calling her every offensive name he could, including hard r’s, and began shaking, he modified his mind to “chill out.” This guy is a joke.

When the viral clips went viral on November 17, McKenzie he tweeted“Okay, so we’ll talk about this shit tomorrow. I don’t know if I have a seat available or what, but I have to get up for class in the morning, everyone. Thank you for your love to everyone who supports me. I pray you have a VERY productive rest of the year!!!”

Other than using “blax” within the video to generate views and engagement, “Fit & Fresh” has not released an official statement.
