evilweasel posted:if you're an investor then it's precisely your money being pissed down the tubes I was referring to Polian and Ebersol, who afaik did not throw in a ton of money, and in turn it was probably real easy for them to be like "see tom, all you gotta do is dump in $250 million over the next 3 years and then hopefully, ideally, the NFLPA will finally want to partner and we can maybe potentially start making some of it back"

Doudon signed up to piss money away in hopes he'd see profitability.

They should've had enough to run for at least three seasons at a heavy loss. I realize it's hard to obtain that kind of dollars but this is what happens when you go off half-cocked. Investors who can't stick with it for even three quarters of a season and an enormous, pointless loss at the end of it all.

(the dolphins won it in 2000 and the colts in 1999 but that doesn't really count)

Speaking of the only AFCE team to ever challenge the Pats I still can’t believe Rex Ryan has a sexy tattoo of his wife wearing a Mark Sanchez jersey. That may be the single most funny and unbelievable piece of NFL news I’ve heard

I love how they have the obligatory all-black jersey even though they wear green and white. Real original there. I would need a clearer look at them to be sure, but they definitely look like a downgrade.
