I think Coach Lewis returns

But, if anyone is counting on the NFL to ride to the rescue (and, I'm not saying that you are saying that), then I have some bad news for you.  The money is in the tv contracts and merchandising.  As long as that river keeps flowing, the other 31 owners could give a shit how empty PBS is. As unfair as it is, they know that just makes us look like a bad fan base, and does not reflect on the league or their product.  


So, no owner is going to take Mike aside at the winter meetings and tell him to get his shit together, because they're making their bank and they just don't care.  

There's no one looking out for us except us, for what that's worth.

While the TV money is 250 mil and the salary cap is 190 million that leaves 60 million to cover all expenses , ticket revenue is a important part of the equation. 65000 times 8 times 80/ ticket is 40 million give or take. If maximizing profits is his goal he should still be catering to his fan base. This coming year if he only draws 30k/game then he loses 25 million on the season. You would think ole Ebenezer would spend that money on a highly regarded FA. But sadly he will resort to his modus operandi and wait until the draft is over and all the good FAs are signed before signing another scrub linebacker that no other team wants.
