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.

Some people don't like the idea of playing in the north or in major cities. Let's see, sunny south florida or cold and hectic new york city/new jersey?

I'm betting that his choice came down to who he thought had a better shot at a SB than anything else.  Jags or Giants?  Hmmm, I'm going to say the Jags for now.

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.

do you really need to explain having at least 8 tax free games a year v at most three?

The Jags are the AFC team right now. Smallest market in the NFL, yes?

On a 10 million dollar contract compared to N.Y. it's a difference of $400,000 in tax for 8 home games.

Then everything else is cheaper too if you chose to live there.

Not to mention that Jacksonville players get 2 more tax free games by virtue of playing a road game in Texas and Tennessee each year. And this isn't the case every year of course, but they have road games in Miami and Dallas, meaning that Norwell's first season he gets 3/4 of his game checks state tax free. That makes a huge difference.

plus Norwell will have many more chances to show off his beach bod in Florida
