WILL LIBERTY BID FOR THE AVALANCHE, NUGGETS AND PEPSI CENTER?

My husband gets credit for the following thoughts:

With Liberty Media headquartered in Colorado, and with divesting itself of its interest in Fox Sports, doesn't it make sense that Liberty Media will make a bid for the Avalanche (hockey), the Nuggets (basketball) and the Pepsi Center (new state-of-the-art arena being built in Denver)?

Ascent Sports (the current owner of the Avalanche, the Nuggets and the Pepsi Center)is rumored to want to sell. Will Liberty Media be the buyer? If it is the buyer I owe my husband dinner.
