I will just agree to disagree and let it go.

Would you say it is $80? So if they are running up 65,000 fans in there, they are making about 5 million per game, 50 mil a year. If attendance were to be down a 20%, it would only mean 10 mil a year less in ticket revenues.

TV money is I believe well more than 200 million per team, so losing some of your ticket sales isn't quite as big a deal as people think.

Look at the Chargers, they are about to have a blackout and ther owner doesn't really care at all.

If you get blackouts you lose your T.V. deal $$$ in the process.

Thats cool man and its nothing to be taken personal. We both want the same thing just different directions of getting there. I'm not overly patient anymore. My 21yrs of being a fan is starting to take its toll the older I get.

I really wish TD would get rid of some of the LAZY players we have on our team, some of these guys just dont care as long as they are making bank and can buy diamond for their iphone.

I'm 23 I can afford to be a little more patient. Big Grin

I know the history of our club and the losing tradition we have, but I've also lived through some pretty exciting times the past decade. Not to say the lows weren't there either.

AHA!!! LOL! Well there you go man. You were 2yrs old when I started getting disappointed week after week. By the time I was 23 I was all (This is the year) or (we are building for the future)
I hope your 21yrs later story is better than mine. I'v seen TD before. He was the GM for the Colts back in the day.

EDIT: Not literally the GM...you get what I'm saying.

Who and what did you have in mind? Not even going to try to address your posts after this, I'll end up with like 6 quotes.

That is certainly one reason, but I believe play calling is the other reason. That being said, I still would like to have another Receiver.

I think it's financial. I think the Falcons are close to that line between profitibility and losing money, and they want to make sure they stay on the right side of that line.

If a ProBowl WR in TJ for only $850,000 for one year would break this team, then we have more problems than just losing on Sunday.
