Comcast has made a $66 billion offer for Disney.

Comcast also released a letter sent to Eisner indicating that Eisner had personally rejected Roberts' offer to enter into discussions about a merger earlier in the week.

The letter from Roberts called it "unfortunate" that Eisner was not willing to enter into discussions. "Given this, the only way for us to proceed is to make a public proposal directly to you and your board," the letter stated.

Under the merger, Comcast said it would issue 0.78 of a share of its stock for each Disney share, and Disney shareholders would retain 42 percent of the combined company.

Bid 04/26/2004 07:06 PM

Then everyone looked at and realized that the deal made no sense, and everyone stopped talking about it. Realizing that it's clearly not going anywhere, and it's pretty much meaningless altogether, Comcast is considering withdrawing the bid altogether, which may be seen as an apologetic form of saying "um, okay, we admit, it wasn't the smartest idea in the first place..."
