Derek Carr could get $25 million annually

2018 is going to be crazy for the Raiders. Carr and Mack alone will make up close to $50 million. Time to find out how good Reggie McKenzie really is. |

The man just willed an 8-8 at best team to the NFCCG a few months ago Don't care about Brady's rings with the best coach ever. Rodgers is the best QB in football. |

But why pay a guy 25 mil if he can't beat Alex Smith? After all, Smith could never beat an elite QB head to head in a game Last edited by Best22; 06-11-2017 at 12:42 PM.. |

#1. There are 32 owners that meet and decide how they want their collective business run. They have complete autonomy. They OWN this shit-show. They vote on who can purchase a franchise. It doesn't matter if someone can afford it..it's a very specific club. #2. Their business is 100% free of legal oversight. They are an entertainment entity by law....they can cheat, fix scores, do what ever without any legal repercussions. They hire their own officials and regulate them in house. They answer to no one... and have no real regulations. All they have to do is say "we're looking into it" after a game deciding call...then reprimand some part-time official for a few weeks. Goodell said he didn't want officiating to become computerized...that they, essentially, needed human error as it was part of the game. They are trying to hold on as long as possible before technology makes the rigging obsolete. It has been a success in Canada. They have already taken steps to make an officiating "command center" in NY where one place decides critical calls...but no one knows who is making them. It doesn't matter anyway as they are free from any real scrutiny. #3. They all share television revenue profits equally. Browns make as much as the Patriots. It's in Cleveland's owners best financial interest to have Brady in a SB. Name recognition and international brand building. The majority of the NFL's cash stream comes from the network contracts. They are essentially slaves to their ratings... #4. There has been a Vegas betting line on the NFL for as long as I've been alive. I realize most have a cognitive dissonance to this as it's always been a part of it...but...there is a Billion dollar industry built off point spreads. To act like it has little or no significance/influence is to ignore who exactly OWNS the NFL. They arent two separate entities. #5 They built their own network. They hire people to shape what narrative they want their consumers to repeat. It's total control. Vegas wants a team/stadium...hype them the previous off-season and have the refs make sure they are competitive. It's just business. If they are in a national spotlight game, make sure they win. If there is a controversial call..steer them away by introducing doubt. Make situations opaque..catch or not a catch. If it takes marking the ball short 3 times in a row..and denying a challenge..so be it. NFL owners just got a new stadium on the tax payers dime....wish I could fleece every citizen to pay for a warehouse to run my business in. Sweet deal...

In real world terms...your reply, associating me with a lithium patient, didn't work. It might have made you feel a fleeting and inflated sense of mental superiority...but when the shit-smoke clears...you really didn't offer a rebuttal that required an actual opinion or personal observation. Protecting idealism is a primitive function...welcome to the ape house. I'm sure you will find it's quite crowded... Last edited by BlackOp; 06-14-2017 at 01:19 AM.. |
