FedEx CEO Smith not interested in buying the Rams
Quote:
David Williams of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports FedEx founder and CEO Frederick W. Smith is not interested in buying a majority share of the NFL's St. Louis Rams, a source close to Smith said Tuesday.
The St. Louis Business Journal reported on its Web site Friday that Smith -- a former leader of Memphis' NFL expansion effort and 10 percent owner of the Washington Redskins -- was on "the short list of people whose names are circulating as potential bidders."
However, the report appeared to be based more on Smith's natural fit as a majority team owner -- his wealth, ties to the NFL and passion for football -- than on any evidence of him showing interest in the Rams.
FedEx spokesman Jesse Bunn declined comment Friday and again Tuesday on the St. Louis Business Journal report.
