This very well could derail the hopes of reviving the CFL in Ottawa-Gatineau, though let's not be too hasty.
Golden Gate Capital Corp. has withdrawn from the bid process to become the owner of the revived team, since one of the bid leaders, Ernest Anderson, has sudden health problems.
That is the group that involves Ottawa 67's owner Jeff Hunt, whom the local media has depicted as the one and only guy who could win over an understandably skeptical general public that's still rubbing salve on the burn marks left by Bernie and Lonnie Glieberman, among others.
The Ottawa Sun's Chris Stevenson has a blog post up... apparently Hunt is willing to be part of another ownership group, which would have to be the one fronted by Bill (Dad of Jesse) Palmer that involves some Florida investors. Never met Jeff Hunt, but he sure looks smart enough to know better than to get involved with beer baron Frank D'Angelo, who seems determined to be a pest throughout this whole process.
