Yeah, though the numbers were way lower until like the 90's. in 1990, TV revenue combined was about $900m a year ($28m per team minus whatever chunk the league itself keeps for running crap) Now, ESPN pays $1.1b per year just for MNF, totals are increasing to around $10b a year in the current contracts ($312m per team)

The problem in the NFL is cash paid out has to be 90% of the salary cap over a 5 year period, so unless there's something crazy I don't know about, you might as well *try* to win, because you're not saving much off the biggest expense. Maybe not try very hard, but like, hey draft a QB #1 and get whomever Mel Kiper says it the best weapon for him try.

It's not about making money. Of course, the family owned franchises are a different story.

MLB has no salary floor which means you get cheap poo poo owners like the Bob Nutting (Pirates) pretending to be poor and saying they can't afford to compete. At the rate this is going however, it's going to change. They are more than likely headed to a strike because the owners aren't even pretending to try anymore and the CBA is almost up

He's a failson that only cares enough about the Texans to ensure it keeps money rolling in that he can then use in charity fundraisers to keep his place in Houston high society.

Licht was the defacto GM from 2009-2011 for the Pats, and you might remember those as pretty good drafts
