This just kills me:
They've been dropping hints for years as younger, absurdly wealthy owners began assuming power and the old guard died off. We can read between the lines. We know the NFL could do without poor little Buffalo and its economic problems while a potential gold mine in Los Angeles sits empty.
Hey, we get it.
Sports aren't really sports to the people that control them. Games are played under the guise of competition, but they're a means of stuffing pockets of people who don't need the money. There's so much dough involved in sports these days that the average person can't possibly keep up. No matter how confusing revenue sharing, television contracts and collective bargaining agreements have become, you can take this to the bank: The next owner who provides an accurate account of his profits will be the first. Every time an owner claims he's losing money, I'm convinced he's actually making less
