1. Oh good, what could possibly go wrong.

2. Ok but come on the would be so worth it to see them struggle to both wanting to cut costs by cutting their top talent and replacing them with cheaper foreigners while also trying to contend with the fact that they need the teams to win.

3. and you thought the beer is expensive now…..

4. My guess is it’s to raise capital and would only result in minority ownership stakes, with no meaningful control over the teams or league.

5. my property taxes in Miami are up when Stephan Ross needed enhancements to the Joe Robbie Stadium (Hard Rock Stadium ) I might as well by back equity on that with some stake in his lousy team.

6. “I know a 53 man roster is the max a team can have, but the think of the extra profits we could have with only 50 men on our roster!?” Private equity ceo

7. Running out of things to destroy.

8. “We can eliminate 25% of worker cost by eliminating the quarterback position. I looked at the numbers and what if, and I’m just throwing this out, we had the runningbacks ALSO play QB? I mean, they’re already back there. “
