Trump offered $1 billion — all cash, no contingencies, immediate closing. He’d have the check in one hour...Now the Donald is a little miffed that it went out for bid again.

But here is the deal. This is the NFL! It's not a condominium or a golf course that Trump is buying!

When you make that kind of brash, in-your-face offer -- "I'll buy it NOW, right now, this very afternoon, here's my cash, take it or leave it, I have a plane to catch!" -- then one thing is certain, the NFL are gonna turn their noses up at it. EVERY time. That's NOT how they do business. This is the NFL, it's not a poker game, or answering a newspaper classified ad to buy a boat.

Contrary to what many outsiders might think, cash is NOT king with these people. Clout is king. Acting like you belong in their league, is king. Knowing how to act, is king.This is the top 1% of the top 1% we are talking about. Money in and of itself does not impress them!

Contrast Trump with how the Pegulas are acting. They are all class, every step of the way. They are low-key, professional, they are quietly putting their ducks in a row and making their case.

It's like the Bensons -- they were able to secure the Pelicans largely because Benson DIDN'T act like a cigar-chomping, in-your-face used car salesman -- like the way he used to act years ago.... No, he got the Pelicans because he and his family and their organization were cool and logical and professional about it, and during the process they acted like they knew what the heck they were doing.

It's like the old touchdown adage -- "act like you've been there before." Trump getting red in the face and throwing down a suitcase of money on the table and saying take it or leave it, is stupid, and is not going to impress the NFL ownership, AT ALL. I think for that reason alone, it's highly unlikely he gets it.
