....they're all greedy. It's always hilarious how people defend greedy millionaires to go at greedy billionaires.

They did lose 4 billion this year, so those full stadiums do make a difference.

Stadiums don’t even pay for the electric bill. No they don’t count my cowboy brother . Players don’t receive a dime of revenue from the stadiums. And the family very little if anything . And it comes from concerts more than football

And if you divide this by 32 stadiums it’s really nothing. I mean it’s huge for someone like yourself maybe but not to the big guys

By your logic thousadnaires are greedy also. If that's a word.....At least the players aren't charging their fans ransom money to enter their stadium. But point taken. IMO...Greed has many levels and the owners have crossed it.

I believe you have to take everyone as an individual I don’t think you can categorize any of this.

I would imagine concessions, parking, etc. ticket sales are just one piece of the pie when it comes to revenue from people physically going to the games.

Think about how much money a 70,000 person stadium makes just on selling food and beer.

That’s correct it makes just enough money to pay for the electricity. Taxes and other things. But not much goes into the owners pocket. It’s just part of the big game People don’t have any idea how many cases of beer you have to sell to keep a liquor store going. When you’re only making maybe $1.50 a case

But wouldn't that at least make more sense than bypassing greedy billionaires whom you defend against greedy millionaires?

I'm pretty sure 125m lost makes anyone's backside pucker.

I would think the profit margin on the $8 beers at a stadium is higher though no?

Though I suppose the overhead is higher also of course...

Most NFL players aren't high tale millionaires. One to three spots gets most of the huge take. But every owner are deep pocket billionaires. There is a difference. Most NFL players are broke and working some where else after an average 5 year career.

Yes, if a "thousadaire" was being offered 500k, but held out because he wants 700k instead. It gets worse when someone gets a guaranteed check of $30 million and they look and say "That's not enough, I want $40 million"

Definition of greed: intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food.

Nobody on the planet NEEDS an extra $10 million in their bank account when they already have $30 mil on the table. Nobody. You can live a life comfortably off that with good spending and set your children and grandchildren up nicely. I used the word correctly, you are excusing.

How are you running 3 tv's on one genie? Can they be programmed to different channels?

I meant to say I have 3 receivers . You can run 3 Genies to a receiver. And yes , each Genie has its own remote I can watch different programs with each one.

The average rate in the NFL for a player now is close to 900k. That's more than the average person makes in a lifetime.

But either way, we are discussing the millionaires here that hold out because they believe they are worth millions more. It is greed and there is no getting around this.

Further evidence that Dak's cap number will not stop this team from building around him.

And why you see so many players wanting shorter deals. Juju in his prime just signed a one year deal. Dak in his prime wanted a shorter deal. You used to never see that from really good players in their primes. They know the salary cap is going to keep going up as are the salaries. It is a gamble as this is a violent sport but I get it. This maximizes your earning potential. Don't lock into a longer contract paying less money.

You're ignoring market rate. By this logic a player should jump at every low ball offer made by owners who'd never ever try to take advantage of a player. Oh heaven's no.

Had DIRECT TV for years, done with them also. I even get a better picture without DIRECT TV

That's crazy if true, how's everything impressioned at the picture should be great because satellite has way more bandwidth than cable (as of right now to get true 4K cable satellite is the only way you can do it, not nearly enough bandwidth on internet and cable)

The Verizon FiOS one gigabyte Internet plus TV blows the picture away from DIRECT TV

I totally agree. I am most definitely take a football player over a prima donna football player. Give me a bunch of Jeff heat and I win a championship. I know people making league minimum. never have to work again so . Again you have to take everything on an individual situation

The majority know. Not many people make the big money anyways. And when you’re over 25 million who cares
