Lmao. Good point on Brandon. It's pretty easy to be successful in business when you start every year $244 million in the black. And when you think about it, his job is to sell football to Americans and Canadians. The only thing easier is selling crack to addicts.

Salary cap is $167 million. Even if the cap money comes out of the $244 million, he's $77 million in the black with his biggest expense already paid.

It’s not too early to get really worried about the next time the NFL and the players union are due back at the bargaining table, as the end of the collective bargaining agreement after the 2020 season approaches.

It feels like a lot closer than three years away, actually. That's because the problems staring both sides in the face are staring them down right now, and they are serious. Shutting-down-the-sport serious. For both sides.

Problems like a couple of major advertisers … uh, well … pulling out.

Problems like upfront ad sales for the upcoming season, especially from traditional sponsors like auto and movie companies, being … uh, well … the softest in nearly a decade, since the big recession, according to a recent report

Problems like regular-season ratings dipping over much of last season, and the anxiety over whether that was just an exception or not.

And problems like players loudly objecting, for the second straight year, to how much less their stars (and others) are getting paid compared to those in the NBA.
There already were a stack of issues the union is ready to bring to the table that have gone on throughout the current labor deal: player discipline, concussions, the drug policy, Thursday night games.

But above and beyond those, these deals are about splitting the money. That’s what keeps bringing these sports to a screeching halt every several years; from 1998 to 2011, the NFL, NBA and NHL had a combined five lockouts. That’s the owners’ big stick, and clearly they haven’t been afraid to swing it.
The NFL players haven't wielded their own big stick since the 1987 strike, the year of the scab games. The next time things got fractious enough for a season to be threatened, the owners flexed their muscles.
This time, both sides have ample reason to flex theirs.

Income inequality is sooooo unfair.

..."Nobody should be surprised by the amount of money the NFL and its teams are bringing in -- especially with added revenue of relocation fees. But it is noteworthy because it comes at a time when NFL players are becoming increasingly vocal about the state of their contracts. As NBA players have landed monster contracts this summer, NFL players have used social media to point out the disparity in contracts. They want more money.

One example: James Harden just signed a new contract with the Houston Rockets that's worth a reported $228 million. Meanwhile, Derek Carr just signed a new contract with the Oakland Raiders that's worth a reported $125 million. Harden is a better player relative to his peers than Carr, but he's not $100 million better. "

The salary cap is not equal to the actual fiscal year expenses booked as player salary line item. Real money spent could be more, or less. Also if you dig a little deeper into the links you can see additional numbers from Green Bay's books that indicates at least that team has approximately $210mil in expenses over and above player salaries.

These huge TV deals may be reduced a bit. The Networks are going far too deep into the red bidding for them. If the NFL continues to believe there is no ceiling to the supposed increased asking price, they are in for a major wakeup call.

The Networks aren't coming even close to getting the advertising $ back during the regular season and the single exception (SB game) cannot garner that much back.

Point being? His job is still to sell football to people who are predisposed to loving football with a $244 million head start.
