I know they can...but one expects that billion dollar business deals have some sort of written contract...
Well, I think the NFL must be clear by now that any move to San Diego would have to be with no spanos.
Why doesn't the League due to the Chuggers shortfalls, change relocation fee to $400 million for Kroenke and $800 million for Deano?
Care to explain how the owners of the teams will lose more than $650 million over time when they are recording profits every year? Your hopes dont add up to failure.
I would GUESS it could be undone, if the owners all voted for it and a majority passed it. They have the gold and make the rules in the NFL. Is it likely that they would? Not in my opinion.Does anyone know (actually know...not just a silly joke)
if the relocation fee can be undone or partially undone
if Chargers "undo" their move, within a particular window of time?
And with Rivers' 15/14 TD to INT ratio, (in an age that Mitch McConnell could have a passer rating of 92.7)
PR should agree to take his salary peso for dollar... (assuming, of course, the no-brainer move to Mexico)
I am saying the move to L.A. will cost the NFL that much money over time. NFL ratings in both L.A. and San Diego are down and will continue to be down if the Spanoses remain in L.A.
He's not saying they're not making money but they're not making as much as they could be if the chargers weren't there. Ratings have dropped in LA since they moved there. (LA used to show the best games of the week and got higher ratings).
It's logical for the Chargers to move back sans Spanos. League would win-win on that one.
I'd edit that, FIRST priority is to get dean spanos out of the NFL period. Dumbass owners and Goodell caved to the guy.....what, he's loyal???? YGBSM. Loyal to WHAT? HIS POCKETBOOK, and that's it.
This too make little to no sense either.
The fact they caved to Deano really makes me question their intelligence. The NFL, thanks to Pete Rozelle’s visionary strategy to tie the league to network television, is the main reason these idiot owners continue to make gobs of money. Ol’ Pete put in a near bulletproof system, but even Rome fell. Despite Pete’s best laid out plans the owners keep finding ways to shoot themselves in their collective feet.
So if you are in an exclusive group of billionaires, which is over shadowed by a few Jonese, Krafts, and Kronkes... You have to do some massaging to keep the majority from feeling like the big, loud guys are everything.
All you say is true but if Deano wanted to move why did they force Kroenke to carry his useless ass? He was (and is) free to make his move. Nothing was stopping him from moving forward with Carson, approval votes or not.
He did not force it.
Exactly my point. The NFL was STUPID to acquiesce anything to Deano. Being a “good soldier” (whatever the hell that means, I see nothing that supports this theory) is no reason to give him a consolation prize. Yes, Dean would’ve actually had to work to get to Carson, and he was free to do so. We all know he isn’t capable, I would presume the NFL knew that too. Well, they reap what they sow. They are stuck with Dean in LA. Fuck them all. That’s why I enjoy watching them burn to the ground.
Apparently Jerry Richardson was leading a group of owner who were in support of spanos....had him convinced he had enough votes to win out at Houston. That's why deano looked white as a sheet when he found out otherwise. Jerrah and Kroenke and probably Kraft and others who carried much more weight put an end to any hope deano had of getting his Carson deal with Davis, because Jerrah stood to make a hell of a lot more in the Kroenke deal and he knew Kroenke could afford to build the next greatest stadium. Money talks, BS walks. And yeah Jerrah felt he needed to do something to placate spanos for the ass kicking he handed him so thusly the first option. Stupid. Really stupid. Amazing when you figure the cities of SD, STL and OAK were just pawns in a high stakes game of chess between all the billionaires and ended up getting totally screwed and they completely disregarded the history and roots of the NFL/AFL and the loyal longtime fans who supported those teams for year, especially SD. This is why I'm so soured on ever having a team again in SD. Hell, we'll probably be used for the next 20 years just the way LA was, as leverage for teams wanting new stadiums in other cities.
Nobody cares about Kroenke's team either. He should have kept the team in St. Louis, a city the NFL has effed over twice for no reason.
Because he's a talker. And he can't afford to build a garage. And he never wanted to give up equity in team for Stadium deals.
Exactly! If the owners were the business geniuses they like to think they are, they would have told Deano to get fucked and make his own deal himself. He’d still be in San Diego playing at the Q. They (the owners) created this mess by rewarding the “good soldier” Deano.
