I was listening to WDAE in Tampa today on my way home, and "The Animal" was interviewing some guy who is a regular from Pro Football News, or something like that. Anyway, the discussion was about the owners' meetings last week, and the Pro Football News guy related stories that were filtering out of the meetings.
Apparently, Mike Brown was rambling on about the richer owners helping out the poorer ones, when Daniel Snyder said he would be willing to share revenue with any owner who needed help, but that Brown has a deal for the stadium in Cincinnati for one dollar per year, and he wouldn't help Brown regardless because Brown refused to market his team. Then he cited Jerry Jones telling Brown that he would give Brown $5,000,000 for his rights to the Cincy stadium, and double his money in ten minutes.
I don't have a link to the conversation, but there were other stories about Brown, including Brown's pitch to the other owners that they were concentrating too much on income, and not enough on the game. Apparently upper deck season tickets in Cincy go for $10 per game. Another story was Brown has 3 people in his marketing staff, and New England has 40.
I thought it was pretty funny until "The Animal" started to visualize the kind of trouble that could happen in two years when Tags and Upshaw both retire, as each party can void the agreement in 2008 or 2009, and this whole thing would start over.
