Rod Wood: Detroit Lions ownership has been approached about buying team

On Monday, sportscaster Eli Zaret ruffled some feathers by saying a second hand source of his said that Detroit Lions owner has met with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos about the potential sale of the team.

That claim upset quite a few people, especially a local blog which will not be mentioned by name as they said there was nothing to that “rumor.”

Well, on Tuesday, Lions team president Rod Wood spoke to media and he said the Lions have been approached about interest in buying the team but there have not been serious discussions.

So, though it does not sound like the Lions will be selling anytime soon, maybe there was a little something to Zaret’s claim after all as somebody is interested in buying.
