The NFL reportedly asked Katy Perry, Rihanna and Coldplay, their top choices to play the 2015 Super Bowl Halftime Show, if they would be willing to pay the league in order to secure one of the biggest gigs in the world, according to The Wall Street Journal.
 
When reaching out to artists, league representatives asked some acts if they would exchange a headlining slot for a portion of their post-Super Bowl tour earnings, or make another type of financial contribution to the NFL. Sources told the Journal that the suggestion, perhaps unsurprisingly, "got a chilly reception from the candidates' representatives."
 
While the NFL doesn't typically pay artists who perform during the Super Bowl Halftime Show, they do tend to cover travel and production expenses, which can be upwards of a million dollars. Considering the Halftime Show has only grown more popular in recent years — this year's performance with Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers drew 115.3 million viewers, compared to the 112.2 million who watched the game — it makes sense they'd want a piece of the pie.
 

 

Criticize Goodell if you like but at least he is consistent!

How The National Football League Can Reach $25 Billion In Annual Revenues
 
This year revenues for the National Football League will be somewhere just north of $9 billion, which means the league remains the most lucrative in the world.
 
But NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, wants more. Much more.
 
He has stated that he wants to reach $25 billion in annual revenues for the league by the year 2027. It’s an incredibly ambitious goal, especially for a league that many in the media believe is in decline. (It’s not. See this story.) But it is also a very achievable one when considering what the league has in store for the future.

I know I speak for myself and a lot of Huddlers when I say we fuging love the nfl. I can't get enough of my Panthers. Even during the 2-14 season a few years back  I watched every game (hell I even bought tickets to two games that year - the only two we won 9ers and Cardinals lol) .

 

.....but the NFL is a perfect product that is about to start going downhill (and I think they know it)

 

The number one enemy for the NFL is player health. no one is going to want to play football when you find out it literally kills you, or gives you early onset dementia, or any other numerous horrible brain malfunctions

 

hence the "lets make as much money as we can now" attitude

 

the greed omg the greed. pushing the draft back two weeks, scheduling games in London, trying to extend the season, having a special thursday night game available on only one channel: THE NFL NETWORK, and now this.....

 

I know this in itself isn't a huge, but it's getting to the point of blatant, in your face- we're making money off everything associated NFL

 

 

I have never really cared what the Panther's midfield logo is, but now I do. I don't like the NFL that much anymore, but I love the Panthers. 

 

The NFL needs to realize that less is more, but unfortunately I think they know just how limited the shelf-life of this product is.

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      He has been a starter most of his career.  Why does anyone thing he would willing come here to be our 3rd TE?

      I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.

      Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.
