Supposedly privately funded..
#1
Anyone wanna bet just how much public money will be poured into this? It ain't gonna be 100% private regardless of how many times they say it.. Nice pretty concept, but the Rams, once the Bengals of the west are suddenly on the cusp of greatness? It's certainly no accident that the two teams in the SB are located on the east coast and the west coast and I HIGHLY doubt it has anything to do with coaching genius, but instead billions upon billions of dollars pumped into locking out every team NOT located on one of the coasts.. I know, I know.. I'm such a negative Nancy these days.. Let's just say I don't quite trust the motivations behind this and leave it at that.  Nervous

I wouldn't say negative Nancy, I'd say tinfoil hat guy.

These numbers are from two years ago, but it gives you some insight into just how big of a money pot the NFL is working with.

If it was Kansas City vs New Orleans the Superbowl would be just as huge this year as any other year. The NFL doesn't need big markets to sell.

Jessie Bates left the Bengals and that makes me sad!
