Thelonebillsfan Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Oh and sorry I mis-spoke, the Raiders operational revenue was actually triple that of the highest Premier league team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way we could have done better is by saying that Notre Dame will join the SEC, Hawaii and Boise State will join the Big East or something, and then we have a 13 team playoff with 6 northern teams and 6 southern teams with Notre Dame automatically in an also instead of football it will just be a big Civil War reenactment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Patriots this decade were in every single AFCCG except one lmao. Ahhh the exception to the rule. Love to harp on that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding Joe Burrow to the Titans or Vikings would give another legitimate super bowl contender to the mix. Why would he go there when he can go somewhere else that's much better to live in during football season? Who's to say he won't just call up every major prospect and say "Hey, let's go to Vegas!!!"? How many people you think want to go to Buffalo and Cleveland and live there during the winter? You think people will be beating down those doors? Hell no the majority won't and if you say differently, you're kidding yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I'm misunderstanding the data, how is being third in having the most parity (according to their findings) of all the sports listed, "failing"??

If the NFL draft and salary cap were critical to parity, you would expect to see more parity in the NFL than in baseball, for example since there is no salary cap and the draft isn't nearly as important.

Dude this data will be skewed by something the Patroits are doing that no one has ever replicated prior and it's not like they're monumental differences between the two sports. They're fairly neck-and-neck EDIT: I just looked and it's really .1 damn point difference and you're acting like it's something substantial. Take out the exception to the rule (the Patriots run) and it's easily beating MLB lol. C'mon, you're better than this Edited May 8, 2020 by JTagg7754 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah b/c they have the cap space to do it. If the league were set up like anyone could go anywhere when entering the league, there'd be a lot more shady crap going on to minimize cap damage to get whoever they want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All existing members of the NFL would strike before letting rookies have that kind of free agency power because the rookies will get paid and veterans who don't show much after a year or two are getting cut. If you get rid of the salary cap, then it's college football and it'll be the same 5 teams every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would go there for a pretty simple reason: He will start on a good team and look good, which will then make him a lot of money. I’m sure he is willing to suck up a couple months of snow in exchange for a larger second contract. Heck, after early February at the latest, he can live somewhere nice for the most annoying parts of winter. Even if he teamed up with a bunch of other top prospects in Vegas, wouldn’t that be a good thing? Wouldn’t that increase parity? Guys are going to favor wherever they can start and play a lot, because it is in their best interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Kelly said "I will never, ever play in Buffalo" and literally went to another league to play... Until we offered him the most money any QB had ever made in history to come play. In which case he literally immediately came to play. Big name guys go to Buffalo and Cleveland literally every year, because again, these guys don't really "live" in the city for the most part.
