In other words, this better be the right mix of players to keep that Super Bowl window open for a couple of seasons.Second, coupled with the stadium issue, wouldn't a cash flow needy team without a clear vision of a stadium being built, be likely to grab the cash a place like LA that will be willing to throw a ton of money at the owners; the same one that will be breaking ground on a state of the art stadium. Build a very competitive team, if the state / city isn't going to fork over enough to build a stadium with increased non-shared revenue, then pull up the stakes and move this competitive team off to a new city that should embrace it. I hope none of that happens, I truly don't but that is the first thing that popped to mind when I read the article.</blockquote>
