BUT, from just a couple months back:





So, BRT's 350 is still looking good.

A couple months back he was looking good. I had a better tan then too.
The higher likely kills the Charaiders.
So the league could be trying to out price the weaker players or dissuade anyone from moving at all. Even ESK has to feel that one.

I hope it's about 500-million with 300 going to an SD stadium and 200 going to an Oakland stadium.

Win-Win-Win

That would be ideal.

I wonder how important it is to the NFL that at least one city pony up some serious money to keep their team?

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Even if we assume Inglewood is a given (and i'm pretty much thinking it is), Does the NFL want Kroenke paying for SD and/or Oakland too? Do they want to let the cites off the hook, even a little bit? Maybe they find a semantic/accounting way to have Kroenke pay off Spanos without it appearing to be the case?

It was like that one guy at the Oakland town hall was asking, Can Mark Davis use his NFL TV money to help pay for a stadium? Grubman said the answer was yes.

But we all know, 1. Davis has other stuff to spend that money on, and 2. why would he when there are cities willing to pay up?

That's flat out fuckin extortion if he has to pay those puds a dime...

Just spitballing, because it's fun:

How about introducing the new, improved, bigger NFL G5 loan program . . .?

Stan pays the NFL, the NFL uses the funds to fund their new loan program, Spanos applies and receives a new G5 loan, Spanos pays it off with the league share of premium seating, etc.

wonder who would pay the charaiders relocation fees? goldman sachs? the tooth fairy?

[Hacksaw]

The puds are the Chargers and Raiders because they are ones who will get a chunk of that inflated fee. Quite a curve up from the 30 something million GF had to pay 20 years ago.
If that works for Stan, so be it, but this whole Carson thing and it's get money out of Kroenke result frosts me.

[BuiltRamTough]

It's extortion if the league says to Kroenke " if you don't help the Chargers/Raiders we won't approve your request to relocate".

But if the league steers the relocation fee to help the Chargers/Raiders that's a different story.
