THE BIGGER PICTURE
Altidore became a limited partner of the Buffalo Bills earlier this year, joining a consortium of minority owners that purchased approximately 20 percent of the franchise at a reported $5.8 billion valuation. His involvement signals the Bills' interest in expanding their reach as Altidore bridges two sports worlds that have traditionally maintained separate fan bases.
