Larry Ellison, chief executive of Oracle, told stockholders that he looked into purchasing the Golden State Warriors from current owner Chris Cohan.

"I did actually look at buying the Warriors," Ellison said, "and they're also not for sale."

The Warriors would neither confirm nor deny Ellison had approached them.

Ellison is now making a bid to purchase a team of the NFL.  He spoke with the current owners of the San Francisco 49ers, but they are not for sale either.
