Absurd overpay, I would say the NFL is looking at maybe another 20-30 years at best until the league is looking at certain death. Entertainment options are far superior to the NFL and the trend is only going to continue. Millennials are not interested in or watching live sports, the baby boomers (1/3 of US pop) will die out, the advertising money is drying up along with the TV deals (ESPN/CNNSI already dying/dead). Kids are being held out of football and losing interest across the board in sports. Parents both have to work to support a family in the US and are sadly taking the lazier option. They are left with the choice of shelling out money and running their kids everywhere or simply tossing them the ipad/xbox/netflix remote for basically nothing and eliminating all that hassle. The NFL is already losing massive ratings and that is only going to continue. Oddly a few ass pats might end up being the best thing Richardson ever did from a business perspective as he got out with a huge win on his investment.
