NFL OWNERS MEETING - MAR 24,2015- THE SOURCES TAKE..

  First off, what a off season, and the NFL has done a great job keeping the NFL IN THE forefront...

Now the big changes or updates from the meeting..

1) NFL at least for one season.. the out dated Blackout rule lifted for 2015 season.. Hooray,, but hold on for a minute,, Chargers fans and others can watch their teams at home,, Now.. for charger fans,, you guys recall. that the chargers did sell out all their games last year,, but it was like a road game for the chargers. alot of fans are selling their ticket to opposing fans,, Why? Money of course,, if you can make a profit selling to out of towners.. why not? I'm not knocking the fans,, but in a way I am. too,, because you should support your team.. but the way the spanos family has treated the fans lately,, past 14 years.. its getting old.. well anyways,, it might be embarrassing to watch the chargers struggle playing at the Q , when half the stadium is full of the other teams fans.. just a sad and sobering thought.. we may see next year?

2) Plans to have a 9pt play,, Yes.. Make the touch down count as 7 instead of 6 , and of course adding in the 2 pt play options... Its a possibility , because the NFL wants higher scores to make the game exciting,, 

3) The extra point attempt . PAT - points after touchdown.. - place the ball at the 15 yd line to make it  less of a automatic attempt.. Perhaps creating more of a decision to go for the two point try??

4) Penalties for the deflate gate , noise gate? First of all,, does it matter now? I mean the patriots did or didn't do it.. They won the big game.. so any penalties ,,money wise$$ or draft picks.. it really doesn't matter.. The Pats won.. and that's that,, as for the falcons,, importing noise into their stadium.. it didn't work.. they were still losers,,, so why bother? Just my thoughts.. if a team gets caught doing something,, why wait? Penalize as soon as possible.. for example.. in real life,, if you commit a crime,, they don't wait to impose punishments,, or decide later what the penalties are? If you speed, your issued a ticket and you then pay a fine or attend speed court and defend ones actions,, In the NFL.. its more like,, commit crimes,, and we will decide what the fines and penalties are.. Not so democratic, its more,, the NFL way and no other way,, No wonder players are so disenchanted with the NFL.. 
FOR EXAMPLE.. THE HARDY DEAL TO THE COWBOYS.. he not only beat his lady , but threatened to kill her? Go figure, yet he's back in the league, while Peterson is getting so much attention about SPANKING  his kid. whatever your view point.. ?He didn't ever say I'm going to kill you,, or at least we DONT think so,, ?!?so. like I said so many times. NFL is really the no figure league.. In consistent rulings, guidelines, and penalties is why the NFL.. is more like the WWE in wrestling,,, Attention grabbing , self centered , money making billionaires that dictate whats morally right and whats good for their own interest,, Yes, THE NFL is racist,, they only see green backs,, $$$ anything else doesn't matter? But as fans,, we are suckers to this exciting game.. but that's the truth .. sad ,pathetic truth..

5) Free agency rules? I mean finally we are seeing trade happening in the NFL.. and great for the players,, Why stick to a team if they aren't loyal to to you.. For me players have the right who to play for and when and how long,,Why not? The owners ,, pick and choose when and how much they pay or not pay their players? Its seems one sided ,, when the NFL can dictate a person's life.. The players work hard all their life, only to be used and abused by teams.. and told,, you suck ,, go away, For me.. It should be open,, if a player .. is done with a team after 3- 4 years,, and still has a couple years,, have that option to make a move.I know that might sound like a business sound decision.but it gives the player a chance to look for a better fit,, I see too many players stuck on a team that doesn't fit.. But the NFL.. is such a one sided organization, its gonna be a fight.. But its something you see happening,, with the most trades ,,this off season, ever.. 

lastly, the chargers situation ? The owners are listening to the plans of the chargers. raiders and rams..

Rumor mill- The chargers are moving,. and the name changed ,,like the browns moving to Baltimore and becoming the ravens,, and winning a Superbowl.. or the Houston oilers moving to Tennessee and becoming the titans.. has anyone ever thought about that? I mean,, We all know LA is a raider and ram town.. but if they have new name,, would la embrace it.. I mean the LA , Orange county, Riverside encompasses  10 million people.. Now.. the NFL.. wants teams to sell PSL'S
what is that? Personal seating License- its exorbitant fee a season ticket holder must pay just to buy tickets.. anywhere from 10,000 - 40,000 Were paid by the St Louis and Minnesota fans,, That's how they financed their teams stadium deals..Now .. do the chargers have enough fans.. in their small base of 2 million plus,,, to purchase enough?? ok,, here's  the math.

40,000 psl's  x 10,000 fee = 400,000,000  

20,000 psl's x 40,000 = 800,000,000 

and thats  then add the tickets that will be 100.00 to 1,000 a ticket!! more $$ . 

Plus the luxury suites the Cowboys and 49ers have.. more money. Its just simple fact.. NFL doesn't care about tailgating,, theres no money in that.. They want corporate big wigs that can play those numbers.. 

I heard on the NFL network.. San Diego is a destination city, in other words,, a city full of out of towners and no loyalty. People come and go and stay and leave because of military influence,. or just plain economics. price of housing , lack of jobs,, and just  plain old a expensive city to live in.. Its tough to live in a city,,, where you pay the highest sales tax, property tax, housing rental costs,, etc.. too many expenses for tax payers to approve a venue that many of the residents never will use or want to use.. Its tough for me to give my had earned money ,, for a billionaire , millionaire's,, who has tortured and threatened the fans by saying we are taking the team to LA etc.. after 14 years,, I'm sure most fans,, are getting tired,, of this,, !??!Its hard to have date if your partner doesn't talk to you or what? The city council is trying. but the chargers are nit  picking every move.. It just makes you think they are already set on moving... They say if you say and think it.. its already a done deal.. All the actions the chargers are doing speaks louder than what they are saying,, which isn't much these days.. Rivers made a bold move.. and perhaps it will work. ??But based on the chargers they have no loyalty,, they let Brees, go, merriman go, vincent jackson, sproles, cromartie,, LT..etc,, Rivers is no different.. So.. My take,. enjoy the chargers next season.. Because it may the swansong to a 50 year plus love affair,, the Lord of no Rings,, but exciting football never the less.. I hope I'm wrong, but the economics and the actions I see .. just let me think.. The move is inevitable.. Who is to blame.. ? Chargers . the city council , the fans? Maybe all is to blame.. ?! But one thing is for sure.. The charger fans are passionate . it just the NFL loves $$ green backs.. and its just not feasible in a beautiful but flawed city.. " The desitination city as one NFL insider called it" 

Bottom line... The NFL is doing a great job, of keeping their product in the spot light.. and for the chargers .. The Rivers deal is really mind bogging,, Its no wonder rivers ,, has stated one more year. He must know the team is already making plans,,  It seems the chargers ,, are set on getting a new stadium the way they want it.. and like I mentioned,, The chargers could move and change their names,,  I know .. its not possible.. But do you think the Baltimore colt fans thought they would move to Indy? Or the loyal Cleveland browns move to Baltimore and win a Superbowl as the ravens,, the list continues,, the houston oilers to the Tennessee Titans.. .. it happens,, so charger fans need a reality check.. if you were a owner,, wouldn't you want to make the most for investment,, it just makes business sense,, ? Bought the team for millions .. sell it for billions...$$$ 
The San Diego Charger fans,, its really up to you,, are you willing to shell out 10,000 for a PSL.. ? DO THE FANS BASE HAVE ENOUGH DEEP POCKETS to finance this kind of financial plan.. its clear. The tax payers will not go it,,, Alot of San diegans ..  don't care about a arena that is used for what 20- 30 times a year counting Chargers and SDSU AZTECS home games, San Diego bowl games.. High school football chairmanships. concerts? off roading events,,, Its a hard sell.. In a city that needs a bigger airport and safer border and military bases, lets not forget the roads and highways and infrastructure around the city and county..  But the City council,, will try to do in one or 2 years that the previous city council has not done in 14 years. 

Next year will be interesting,, and the fate of the Chargers , could very well be on the Charger fans that are willing to buy PSL'S/.. or are the chargers already.. set on going to LA and make a whole new identity.. LA KNIGHTS.. LA ROCKERS .. LA WARRIORS.. ,, ??

Just something to think about .. THE NFL is King,, and who ever rules , makes and breaks the rules.. for charger fans. they let the confused, misguided city council.. waste 14 years of research , money on nothing but talk, plans with no substance. all talk no action.. leads to the chargers making a move that makes More $$ sense then staying in  sleepy , military ,retiree town that is content with the beaches and parks, and museum's,,, that tourists enjoy and the residents are happy with.. Well have a great day !!
