Ed Bouchette roasts Gregg Rosenthal for Norwell comment

[Mr. Scot]

Panther fans may remember Rosenthal for the "lousy organization / lousy season" comments just prior to 2015.  You know, that year when we went 15-1 and made it to the Super Bowl.

Well, Rosenthal made a quip regarding Norwell in response to Giants reporter Jordan Raanan, and Steelers beat reporter Ed Bouchette answered...beautifully.

Weak. 

Not only weak but it doesn't sense....he was clearly talking about getting free agents. Florida teams have been racking up on them for years.

[electro's horse]

yeah gregg isn't wrong at all

that's absolutely a draw for athletes

[Moo Daeng]

Swing and miss for whoever that person is. Seems they were perceiving some sort of slight when the other was giving a very valid explanation.

Ed Bouchette must be related to Bobby with how stupid he is....wtf does that have to do with Free Agency....(using Boucher pronunciation whether it's right or wrong(fugin french))

He was/is that dumb to where he thought "competitive advantage" in that context meant on the field instead of in the market as was clearly stated and easy to understand for even the Huddle.

Non news

uh....

I don't see how the tax advantage is that big of a difference. They pay taxes in every state they play a game in.

Well I learned something today. Never knew that.

Also, that is not how taxes work for professional athletes.

You don't just pay taxes based on where your team is located, you pay taxes based on where your team plays each game.

So the Tampa Bay players have 8 games in Florida and 8 away games.  The games they play in Florida do not have any state income tax associated since FL does not have a state income tax. However, any game that is played in a state with an income tax subjects those earned dollars to that states income tax.

So tax does come into play, but depending on schedule its impact can vary.
