If you invested a $1000 and only made $20 a year would you be happy?

in this economy? Ecstatic.

Keep believing the owners figures. I don't think you guys realize how much these "companies" play with the books to make them look how they want them to appear.

Also, even if it were the case that the owners didn't make too much or lost a little it doesn't matter. These guys throw away money like it grows on trees. From the monies paid to rookies in bonuses to overpaying free agents to overspending on facilities. They run their business like a 5 year old runs a lemonade stand and now they want to cry poverty? Get real.

Matthew Stafford 40 million guaranteed, lol. Jamarcus Russell. 100 million for albert haynesworth. Panthers just gave one guy, Peppers 17 million to play one season. And you want me to feel sorry for you. Want to try and convince me that you're so close to break even with these mindless, careless investments. The owners can go jump off a fucking bridge.

If you would find that level of profit acceptable, Grave, then YOU'RE the gullible one and I have plenty of sweet financial deals for you. :P

Let's face it. Two percent is a terrible return on investment given the overall risk the owners shoulder (I wouldn't play for that even in a low-limit poker game!). You're focusing strictly on the raw numbers and ignoring the RISK, which is substantial. I believe it's a case of veiled class envy, which is rampant in our country these days. It's convenient, but intellectually facile, to blame the rich for all the problems this country is undergoing.

Please provide evidence that they're cooking the books or stop making these rabid allegations.

Who says it's two percent? Because they said so? Minimal playing with financial statements can change that 2% to 20% and vice versa. My evidence lies in the fact that they don't even want to show each other the books. Let them run their business better. They already have special anti-trust laws. Every time you hear them talk it's always about "improve our team" "whatever it takes" but now when it's time to go to the bargaining table they cry poverty.

Hey, these franchises are selling for a BILLION dollars. If it wasn't profitable, they wouldn't be selling at that price. If they cant run a profitable business, there are people willing to buy it from them for plenty of money. Plus the fact they don't want to show the books and their ridiculous spending habits. Put two and two together.

Please provide evidence that they're not cooking the books :physassult:

I think I get what Grave is getting at when he says ecstatic in this economy. A friend of mine is a dang good stock investor. His goal is to beat the S&P 500 every year, which he manages to do. That means if it drops 20% in one year and he "only" lost 17%, he had a pretty good year and he's actually content. Which of course also means that when it raises 30% and he makes 33%, he's having a pretty good year and he's stoked.

Or another example...

Let's say you are running Ford Motor Company. Your two other American competitors go bankrupt and have to borrow money from the government. You don't take a penny because you manage your cash better than the other two combined, and you sell better cars. So, this year in this crappy economy you don't make a profit. However, you stay in business and position yourself to make a mint once this stupid recession ends.

Is that what you meant, Grave?

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL
Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.
Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.
beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?
beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked
Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.
packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?
beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why
Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.
beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."
Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme
Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.
beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them
beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them
buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal
Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block
Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline
beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)
Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon
packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2
