Quote from: kingm56 on May 15, 2024, 01:34:21 PMI hear you, Tim, but the data simply doesn't support your sentiments; 6 of the top 10 most valuable franchise have stunk for 3 or more years...5 of the 6 have stunk for more than a decade; The Bill, Lions and Bengals are #30, 31 and 32. It's fairly clear winning has absolutely nothing to do with profitability. Concerning the PSL, the Giants could care less who buys thier tickets. The NFL ticket exchange ensures they get a cut of ticket sales from all third party vendors. So, while some fans elected to forgo thier PSL(s), other fans have stepped in to purchase them, if solely for the purpose of reselling thier tickets via said exchange to make a profit.Sorry, still don't buy that this flyer without Jones will generate more revenue, since you say that's the bottom line, than it would with him.
More to the point, the Giants marketing department does not care about throwing players a bone or winning games; their job is to sell tickets. It really is that simple, my friend. I believe some fans conflate the entertainment side of the business with football operations; they're two separate things...
#2 Pats
#4 Giants
#5 Bears
