Jon Bon Jovi has been in confidential negotiations with Falcons owner Arthur Blank in which the rock star would purchase 15 percent of the NFL franchise for $150 million, according to league sources. Blank acknowledged the talks but downplayed them as "discussions that are unlikely" to produce a partnership with Bon Jovi. He would not elaborate, except to add that he did not think it was newsworthy at this stage. Bon Jovi was owner of the Philadelphia Soul, an Arena League team for five years from 2004-2009.
