...with the Falcons!!! Here it is from a LOCAL source on "The REAL Feed":
 
Former RB Martin meets with Falcons owner
Falcons | ajc.com (07.09.2007 11:22)
On Wednesday night in a secluded booth at the Palm in Buckhead, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank was spotted having dinner with former New York Jets player Curtis Martin. Since the NFL's fourth all-time leading rusher announced his retirement this summer, it's highly unlikely that Martin, 34, ...
 
Could the embarrassment with the Vick situation be causing Blank to consider selling the team???

Martin's got entrepeneur's blood...  From "The REAL Feed":
 
Happily retired Curtis Martin dashing toward NFL ownership
New York Daily News: Sports - Football (11.11.2007 05:37)
Curtis Martin was only 26 when the Leon Hess estate announced in 1999 that it was selling the Jets. Even then, he knew he wanted to be an NFL owner, a dream he didn't reveal until the day he retired.

It would be bad news for what ever team he buys. The cheapest team to buy in the NFL if they were availible, would be the Vikings. (658 million dollars) Curtis Martin in his highest paid season collected 3.5 million including his signing bonus. If we multiply that times the years he played(11) it gives us a generous 38.5 million. Lets say he, through shrewed investments, doubles his money. Something that would not be easy in this economy, would give him 77 million to invest. That means that he's going to need to come up with a minimum of 581 mil in investors. Something the NFL would never approve. What happens is that the expenses rise and the investors dont pour in anymore than they have to. As long as the stadiums is full and the TV revs are shared, people are buying gear, the investors are making money. Its all good to the investors. For Martin to make the diffewrence he says he wants to make he would need to sit in the majority spot. Thats not going to happen at 77 million. There is a pro sports team that is based on ownership groups with multiple investors. They are the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Curtis Martin is going to need to show some serious scratch if he wants to do this. I dont think he's got it. I think he's got about the same chance of majority NFL ownership as I have in owning the GridIron. How bout it Steg? I have a dream too, ya know!
