Submitted by Andrew Slevison on Thu, 01/06/2011 - 00:22

A recent report had owner of NFL’s New York Jets, Woody Johnson, and New York Giants owners, John Mara and Steve Tisch, set to buy a controlling stake in Italian Serie A outfit AS Roma.

Italian paper Il Manifesto said that three owners of New York NFL teams had put in a bid to buy the capital club, who are currently sitting fifth on the Italian league table.
