Can't see that making his suspension (provided he doesn't end up in jail) any longer than it was already going to be.  Sean Penn is jealous.

Man this guy is really destroying his future. With the trajectory he was on his earning power was probably 60-70 million at minimum. With the suspension and other obligations, he will not be net positive this year. Maybe he can get Clark to just give him cash instead of the ring. I would imagine teams all over are using him as an example in their rookie meetings. “ don’t be a dumbass like Rashee Rice “

Edited for accuracy.

 

There's always a handful of fans who think culture is stupid, and to be a winning team you just need to get the best players available regardless of what they are like off the field.  The high road has fewer rings, but gimme culture.

 

I'm fortunate my son is smart enough to see someone like Tyreek Hill getting in trouble for beating up pregnant chicks, followed by NFL accolades that motivate him to stage a TD selfie flip, and not think that's who he wants to be when he grows up.

 

Shitbags are shitbags, regardless of stats.

NFL Poised to Allow Teams to Sell 30% of Franchise to Private Equity

 

 

Groups of private equity investors may soon be allowed to buy as much as 30% of National Football League franchises.

 

Proposals under discussion would let buyout firms individually acquire as much 10% of a team, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because the deliberations are confidential.

 

A special NFL committee is meeting to examine the league’s ownership rules. Talks are ongoing and the percentages may change, some of the people said. A spokesperson for the NFL declined to comment.

 

The owners will present their findings in Nashville over three days starting May 20, during the second of four annual league meetings. In March, the committee updated owners on its findings but delayedputting forward the matter for a vote.

 

The committee is led by Chair Clark Hunt, who owns the Kansas City Chiefs. The other members are team owners Arthur Blank (Atlanta Falcons); Jimmy Haslam (Cleveland Browns); Greg Penner (Denver Broncos); and Robert Kraft (New England Patriots). The group has been discussing the league’s ownership rules since September, when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell created the panel.

  It can only help to raise values as there are no doubt 1,000's of wannabe NFL owners who could never swallow the whole pie of 100 percent ownership.  The current guard has an appetite for money which is in part satisfied with such an arrangement.  The country club notion of exclusiveness be darned.

Any coincidence that the two heaviest drinking fanbases in the AFC are the Pats* and Jets?

I'd say that's more due to localized pricing than drinking habits.

 

The funniest number on that chart is the NE* merchandise sales.  No one is buying merch in NE because they haven't drafted a player in years worth buying a jersey.  Everyone is still wearing Brady and Gronk jerseys.

Yes, but they're either paying more for the same amount of alcohol, or paying the same for more alcohol.  Either of which makes them dedicated drinkers.

Calling BS on this one.  That might be all that a Bills fan spends IN Rich (or wtf they want to call it this week), but there's no way with 6-10 hours of tailgating pregame that that is all that is getting spent on booze.  

 

Merchandise is probably low too, what with inflation hitting the folding table market and all.
