Looks like he could be part Asian or native American.

This article also mentions the 2 third rounders.

AI says he is "African American" :lol:
It must be due to his Musk lineage.
I didn't notice that at the bottom of Captains. He wouldn't be the first person that could "pass ". I thought it was interesting terms of an AI search. It was looking at stuff we would have a hard time finding. Terms of his being African American. I wonder what the criteria the NFL uses.

From Khosia's wiki, thought it kinda interesting...
In 2001, an article in the Red Herring titled “The No. 1 VC on the Planet: Vinod Khosla” stated Khosla created six new jobs for every day he lived in the US and helped create 40 companies producing $150b of market value during his first 24 years in the US which put him in the top one percentile of VC investors.
There's a ton of other possibilities out there other than Balmer and Bezos. Those are the only names anybody can come up with.
Exactly. Lots of Billionaires in the world these days. Don't have to deal with those two. I still can't believe Bezos divorced his wife, could have had almost any single woman and is now with a woman that look like a Tajuana street whore....
Thought you get a kick out of this in terms of picking partners
Wesley Edens, the co-founder of Fortress Investment Group and co-owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, answered a LinkedIn message from a China-born entrepreneur in 2022 that blossomed into a correspondence.

Changli “Sophia” Luo was a divorcée living in New York City who had founded One World Initiative Advocacy, a Manhattan-based nonprofit that said it worked to produce video interviews with economists and environmentalists.

Edens, a billionaire who had divorced his longtime wife the previous year, built a reputation for making counterintuitive financial bets. He successfully invested in subprime loans after the 2008-09 financial crisis, spent billions to build a private passenger railway in Florida and, in 2018, bought a majority stake in the then-struggling English soccer club Aston Villa.

Over messages, he told her how fun it was to own a sports team. And on their third get-together, Edens and Luo had sex at her apartment in June 2023, according to federal prosecutors.

The brief relationship spiraled into an alleged extortion plot.

Luo, 46, was indicted last year for allegedly trying to shake down Edens for more than $1 billion by threatening to publicize videos and photos of him having sex with her.

Her litany of threats continued for months, as Luo reached out to Edens’s family members, told him she would approach investors, and pledged to destroy him, prosecutors said.

She was charged with four counts, including blackmail and destruction of records, and has pleaded not guilty. Luo, who was released on a $500,000 bond and placed under home detention, is scheduled to go to trial later this year.

They must use the same Criteria that the WBC uses to decide if baseball players can play for certain countries. For Italy you have to have eaten Pizza before. For Mexico you have to have been to a B day party as a kid with a Pinata. For England you have to speak English. For Australia you have to have seen a Crocodile Dundee movie.

Obviously they want to get the highest price possible but since the money is going to charity wouldn't they just want to get fair market value vs having it drag out forever trying to find someone willing to over pay. Not like the charities are going to get pissed off they only got 3 billion instead of 3.5 billion or 1.3 billion instead of 1.5 billion.
