Congratulations, Colts

thinkaboutit knows more than Dave Gettleman 

 

Every politician in Congress knows more than you about every bill they vote on than you, so I guess they're always right.

 

Wow, your logic borders on the "r" word. 

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

you know the best way you could show your displeasure with the product jerry richardson puts on the field is to not consume it right

 

why do you watch the panthers?  you know you're putting money in his pocket when you do that, right?

[ThinkAboutIt]

way to not answer the question

 

if you believe the panthers just deserve to lose so long as richardson is the owner, why are you mad?  why do you care enough to post 2000 times on a panthers website?

 

edit: maybe the better question is why are you upset that they're not making the moves you think they should be making to be a better team and win?  i mean, the panthers don't deserve it, remember?

 

I answered the point of your post. Your question is irrelevant. Only your overall point mattered.

Oh boy....

 

Guess he didn't see the Saints having to cut multiple players and trade off Breesus's favorite target today.

That, too, was just a myth. Their GM just wants to lose.

I don't buy tickets or pay for cable, so I'm not really putting any money anywhere. I subscribe to GameRewind, but I can watch any game dating back five years, and the NFL is getting all of that.

yeah sure

 

your ass will be planted in front of the TV for the draft, the panthers first preseason game, and every snap of every game this year watching the team that "deserves to lose" owned by an evil jerkoff and stuffing his wallet.  makes sense to me.

Your interpretation of it is the myth. If the Saints didn't suck last season, they wouldn't have blown it up.

Watching TV doesn't "stuff Richardson's wallet."

Right. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the ridiculous over the cap figure they have.

The conspiracy theory is always so much more fun.

what does cable have to do with it?  most panthers games are going to be on network TV and the NFL gives every team a cut of TV money:

if you're saying you stream them then that makes no sense either because you're still going out of your way to watch and get emotionally invested in something that you think deserves to lose.

 

i don't understand man, i'm sorry

Absolutely ridiculous OP. Colts are spending to spend. Hell, they might even make a run next year but adding two guys that are one (maybe two years) from retirement and not near the players they once were doesn't make the Colts the poster child for how to surround your "franchise QB" with talent. We're building a team here, hell, we're actually building an organization with a true philosophy that is to develop our guys select All-Pros in the draft and keep them on our team. Last offseason and this offseason are hopefully the last time we HAVE to bargain shop, but that doesn't mean we won't. It's smart. Save money when you can. Why spend $10 on cheese when the $2 Kraft singles get the job done? We're functioning in a thoughtful way, finally and its a good thing. Relax. We haven't spent ANY real money and our division is crumbling around us spending and dealing players away because they signed ridiculous contracts.

money that's not going into richardson's pocket everyone:
 

Each NFL team will get a 20 percent increase in national television money this year compared with 2013 — up $27 million — as a result of the new TV contracts that commence next month, according to sources who have seen the internal figures. Over the following two seasons, the increases will total an additional $23 million per club, at a minimum.

That means by 2016, each NFL team will bring in at least $181 million from national TV alone — more than enough by itself for teams to cover their salary cap expenses.

 

 

In 2013, each NFL club received $131 million in national TV money, which includes revenue from the league’s three network partners (CBS, NBC and Fox) as well as ESPN and DirecTV, the sources said. The increases set for the coming three seasons reflect current amounts owed by DirecTV but not any potential increases from a renegotiated deal that is in the works but not yet completed.
