We all know the league owes a huge debt of gratitude to Jerry Jones and should kiss his ass at every opportunity.
He was the one a few years ago that started making separate deals a few years ago for companies who were competing with the official NFL sponsors before the league had to shut that down. Not sure how that went, but I think he won that one. He is also the one that wanted merchandise sold to go to the teams by the % of gear sold that relates to their team. I know he did not win that battle.

The Yankees payroll for the upcoming season will be around $220 million which is $170 million or more from teams at the bottom of the rung. More than half the teams in baseball have fans that go to the games only to see a major league game. They have no expectations of their teams winning. The bottom teams in that league have a 3 year window to win before their players start going elsewhere and they go south in the standings and they have to start all over again. The teams in the Central divisions have a little more shelf life because the economic divisions are not so great there, but they can't compete come playoff time. Since the league went to the 3 division scheme, only one team, the St Louis Cardinals from last year, went to the World Series. There have been more wild card teams go to the series than central division champions.

The good old days when EK owned the Royals are gone forever, and it is too bad. Baseball now really sucks, Beltran is the best example. He should be the posterboy for the NFL! He had his focus on the current process that he is going through since it was "dos Carlos." |

Greed is going to destroy this league. I'm a huge fan and I make decent money, but I'm seriously questioning whether I'll make an effort to get season tickets now that I live in KC.
I had them in Houston and it was a foregone conclusion that we'd get them when we moved here. Now, I'm unsure. |

Jones and Snyder don't have nearly enough votes to change the system and never will. Just cause the idiots overspend but don't the competence to build a winner while doing so, tough cookies! On the other hand the David Glasses of the world need to be cut out of revenue sharing if they're just pocketing money without trying to build a winner.

Phobia, I'm the same way... my wife and I have a great combined income, but I seriously doubt that I would buy season tickets if I lived in Denver.
Hell, I haven't bought a jersey in years... I have become a cheap bastard in regards to certain things. I love going to games, but $50+ per ticket is a bit much especially when it's so clear on a big screen. Plus, parking - beer - food... that shit gets crazy. Time spent getting to and from the stadium. I'd love to go to 2-3 games a year, but I doubt I could commit to 8. Heh - the wife and kids would likely prevent that, spending 8 full Sundays at a game. I admire those that do it though.

$ 3,000,000,000.00 / 32 teams = $ 93,750,000.00 Thats before the Chiefs pocket the additional revenue of parking, consessions and 2/3rd's of ticket revenue. I don't want to hear "We don't have any money" coming out of Arrowhead One Drive anytime soon.

I think you guys are getting a little too worked up about some of this.
Jones and Snyder have been crying about how unfair revenue sharing is for years. Most owners, including most "new" NFL owners, aren't looking to change the system because MOST owners recognize that the Green Bay Packers and other small market teams would be forced to move to survive. They don't want that to happen. They see and understand what is going on in MLB, and they aren't eager to follow that model. The Maras, who own the big-market Giants, the Krafts, who own the big-market Patriots, and the Luries, who own the big-market Iggles, aren't singing the same song as Jones and Snyder. In short, I wouldn't worry too much about the bitching that Jones/Snyder have been doing. |

Hopefully, the NFL and the owners realize how great they have it...
