John Legere's tweets make the Sprint deal look almost impossible to happen

The purported Sprint - T-Mobile merger acquisition could be a big one for the US wireless industry, but for now, it's mostly an unlikely one. Although the nation's third largest carrier is as serious about getting ahold of the disruptive Un-carrier as a high-school graduate is about landing his prom date, meeting banks to finance a formal bid and trying to persuade the FCC that such a move will benefit the problematic industry, the deal looks risky. Not only is the FCC skeptical that forging a strong third contender from Sprint and T-Mobile's combined forces is what the industry needs to break out of Verizon and AT&T's duopoly, but John Legere, the magenta-colored carrier's prolific CEO, doesn't seem very excited at the prospect of becoming Sprint's new chief either.
