The chargers sell out every game.

Tampa on the other hand

Tampa sells over 2x more tickets. Looks like LAC has 117% capacity but a purchase rate of 38% so basically tons of freebies from businesses I’m guessing.

But then again the LAC thing is completely one off and Spanos is a moron etc but phew is that franchise spiraling -outside of the football field

One Road. Two Friends. One Ass.
One of the deep dive articles into the Chargers move went into how the other owners figured Spanos would figure something out with San Diego and never take the LA deal since being the 2nd tier team in LA would just be a drawn out humiliation. Hohoho they were wrong he really wanted that cheap rent.

On the bright side when the Chargers"s" new stadium opens they can just sell the same # of tickets as the old one and there will be few enough fans they'll be able to practice social distancing.

The Raiders should have moved to LA, the Chargers to Vegas, and the Rams to nowwhere.

I don't mind the Rams going back to LA since that was their home anyway.

LA actively didn't want the Chargers. Vegas wanted a team no matter who it was. And a lot more San Diegans would have followed the Vegas Chargers because it wasn't Los Angeles

Pats are going to be bad cause they have no QB, an old offense and no money.

Bill is going to show the rest of the league how you really tank.

Bill saw which way the Coronavirus winds were blowing in January and structured his roster to be in cap crunch this year, a year that won’t be played, and then to have a 100 mil free the next year. 5th dimensional chess.

They're built to tank but yeah I think Belichick will lead them to a better record than people expect, even with no quarterback.

Doesn't mean I think they'll be good of course, just less bad than they should be.

If the season is canceled, do contracts accrue one year or do they get postponed a year?

I would guarantee the owners would demand they be postponed a year.

Also a number of players would lose a ton of money on incentives / milestones.

Doctor Teeth posted:

The texans tried that against the chiefs in that shutout playoff loss. They had JJ Watt come in on offense. It uh...didn't work. Eric Berry made the stop i think.

Part of the problem was they made it extremely obvious to literally everyone by having JJ at RB and Wilfork at FB

Lined them up in an offset I then had JJ try to score through the A gap and it was just a huge pileup of bodies with no hole whatsoever

MLB just struck a deal in which contracts accrue for a year but the players get paid ~$170M total if the season never gets played, but the mlb players union actually has teeth.

Well, not a calendar year. A season, you know, an NFL year. So, from August to December, with select few getting an additional month.

I'm watching the 2009 Cowboys Giants SNF game tonight, the first home game for Dallas in their new stadium. Can't believe that was 11 years ago.

Somebody find that picture of Eli's autograph on the stadium. :romo:
