That is easily one of my favorite times of the year when the weather starts getting cooler, and I start breaking out my sweatshirts. The talk of another promising Minnesota Vikings season and whether they will find themselves playing in the Super Bowl - hey one can only dream, right? Well, imagine this, taking a road trip just 218 miles away and watching a Professional National Football team play, right here in North Dakota!

Time goes by so fast, you blink an eye and pre-season football games have already begun, as a matter of fact, our sister station SuperTalk 1270 AM KLXX is carrying the Denver Broncos games, or should I say one day very soon it could be the Williston Broncos! Check out what just recently happened - According to cbsnews.com "The record $4.65 billion sale of the Denver Broncos to Walmart heir Rob Walton and his daughter and son-in-law was unanimously approved Tuesday by NFL owners, the expected final step in the transfer from the family of the late Pat Bowlen"

Let's try and piece together this puzzle - her name is Melanie Lowman-Walton, and she is the wife of Samuel Robson "Rob" Walton - looking up Melanie's information even further Wikipedia says she was born in Williston, North Dakota. This wasn't merely a "let's get together some pocket change and buy a football team" - her hubby has now become the wealthiest owner in the league - "...With an estimated worth of $60 billion..." cbsnews.com reported. Who knows, anything can happen nowadays, I like the sound of it, the Williston Broncos!
