[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 541252"] 1. You can have all the money in the world but the salary cap prevents you from spending it. 2. Prior to the new CBA, the model was unsustainable for 2/3 of the clubs. That the NFL was a wonderful business to be in prior to the new CBA was a widespread misconception. There's a reason the owners earned major concessions in the new CBA. The business model works for most teams now; it works for all who can sell out. 3. The Packers are among the most likely to sell out regardless of the team they field. The statement, "the Packers can’t afford to miss on free agents the way Snyder did, they have to be more careful," is not supported by history. 4. If there is any cushion to be had, it is in the size of the market. But that's the market, not the net worth of the owner. 5. Paul Allen owned the Seattle SuperSonics. Where are they now? That's a rhetorical question. Bottomless wealth does not immunize the fan base from the owner getting bored with his toy or grow tired of a losing investment. Even with his new stadium, if Ziggy gets bored or dissatisfied with the return on his investment, it could be hello LA or hello London. 6. If the Dallas Cowboys franchise required a cash infusion Jerry Jones would have to take out yet another loan, if he could get one, or sell a chunk of the team. Such a circumstance would imply a large decline in the popular appeal of NFL football rendering his stadium, where half the franchise value resides, a white elephant. If the league fell under economic duress, the Cowboys would be one of the first to fall, barring entry of a cash-investor willing to lose money. 7. Rich guys hate losing money even on their hobby businesses. [/QUOTE]
