Rams owners Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez have entered into a signed agreement to sell the team to Shahid Khan, multiple NFL sources told the Post-Dispatch late Wednesday night.

Khan has lived in the Champaign-Urbana area for more than 40 years and is married with two adult children. Khan is a graduate of the School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Illinois.

Does this mean Chicago is going to have a football team again?
Are any of his offspring jihadis?
New team name: The Chicago Ramadans
Team soon to be renamed the St Louis Ram Dass.
The Rams????? A football team????
Well I would certainly rather have a Muslim owning an American sports team than Rush Limbaugh. /NOT
Based on the name I'd say he's most likely a Sikh and not a Muslim.
First action... tell the cheerleaders to NEVER yell “Go team go! You KHAN do it!”
Cheerleaders in burkas? Somehow I think it would be difficult to find 72 virgin cheerleaders.
I think Mr Khan is Indian (India) not Native American Indian
Tell me about it. Can you imagine cheerleaders in burkhas? Calling timeout for prayer?
Some are claiming he was born in Pakistan. Looking for freepers and their awesome investigative skills to dig deeper, mainly to expose Roger Goodall as the fraud he is.
Stop it. You’re being rational.
Khan is a surname that can go either way, but generally is Sikh. However, he is a native of Pakistan (a nearly exclusively Muslim country), and his first name is Islamic (Arabic for “martyr”). My money is on him being Muslim.
Oops...sorry...my bad.
Looks a tad like Hanks neighbor Khan from “King of the Hill”.
The first name means martyr in Arabic.
It's the site of the University of Illinois which is surrounded by rich downstate farmland and dotted with little cow towns as far as the eye can see.
Pardon my paranoia.....but for some reason I smell the fine hand and influence of Obama/Rahm in this deal.
