In all likelihood - you're probably right. But with his profile and popularity, I bet he could put together some good deals that would be competitive with the $700,000 vet minimum. The amount he could receive off the field just a guess though, and a random, medium-to-low confidence one at that! Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Tracy Jordan Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I know that all 32 owners split the revenue from the national TV contracts, but how much or little do local TV ratings factor into that? If a team like the Rams have low attendance numbers (granted, ticket sales only make up a sliver of the NFL's revenue pie) and their TV ratings are garbage while playing in a market like Los Angeles, wouldn't this hurt the league's bottom-line in some significant way somewhere down the road? I mean if you have two teams in L.A. that can't draw fans to the games AND people don't care enough to watch them on TV, what good is a team's value if nobody in that market cares? I read somewhere that the Rams averaged higher ratings in St. Louis than in L.A. last season. I find that hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy Jordan Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Quote NFL's ratings woes continued in Week 2, and Wall Street is taking notice, given there are fewer excuses for falling viewership than there were a year ago when Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were distracting TV-watching Americans. While NFL games remain some of the most-watched content on television, ratings slid 12 percent in the NFL's opening weekend, with many blaming Hurricane Irma. But without dramatic weather, the second weekend was off 15 percent year-over-year. This comes after an 8 percent ratings slump last season. Guggenheim Securities analyst Michael Morris said he had been optimistic heading into the new season because audiences would appreciate some changes, including fewer commercial breaks and allowing players to creatively celebrate touchdowns. Now, though, he says, "early results do not support this optimism." Jefferies analyst John Janedis figures CBS, ESPN, Fox and NBC will generate about $2.5 billion in NFL advertising revenue this season, but a 10 percent shortfall could translate to a $200 million cut in earnings. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/nfl-tv-ratings-slide-worries-wall-street-1041187 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week, Banks wrote a piece about how quickly things have gone south for Dean Spanos and his team in LA and during the interview he went ever further. Banks even suggested the NFL is quietly talking about forcing the team back to San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzyman314 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 There'd be more dignity in moving to a new city than crawling back to San Diego. Then again, I don't think Dean Spanos would know the meaning of the word "dignity" if you gave him a dictionary and highlighted the word.

Rockstar Matt Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The only way San Diego would take the Chargers back would be if Dean Spanos, well really the whole Spanos family, wasn't involved with the team anymore. The NFL would have to force Spanos to sell the team. And I wouldn't blame them one bit for that condition.

Tracy Jordan Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The NFL needs to cut the TNF schedule in half and go back to scheduling all the games starting in November like they did pre-2012. Let CBS and NBC split 10 games and call it a day. Not even a 41-39 final score is enough to make me care about a Thursday night Rams-49ers game.
