I don’t like the soccer involvement much, from my football team’s owner. Dividing attention, resources, all of that stuff. 

The concert, as it affects the football playing surface? fug that I don’t care if you can raise Beatles, Michael Jackson and Sinatra from the dead for one last show... keep it off the grass field. 

He doesn't give a fug about soccer and is completely hands off with Charlotte FC. That's probably why they're actually winning games lol.

So why does he have it? He doesn’t need money. Just sayin.

I’m mostly about the concerts and grass field stuff.

I will say that bringing in an outside soccer team and treating them so much better than you treat your own people.... sucked. Putting concerts over your players, sucks. Dick move.

Diversifying the portfolio. He doesn't need more money but he certainly wants it.

Every venture by TPE is a money making venture. Every decision he's made makes sense when looking at the profit motive. Putting in grass for one soccer game was what he had to do to have the stadium host a game in a high profile international tournament, which earned him more money. It all comes down to green. 

And to be clear, this is not me being an advocate for his decisions. Just diagnosing the cause.

He has to get the GM right. Hiring Morgan was a mistake and is Fitterer v2. For what ever reason he gets caught up in Nostalgia hires.  Reich and Morgan would be great stories since they are former players but not the right people for the job. I do like Canales much better than previous coaches but the roster management has been a disaster. On a 2-15 team not  finding one starter in the draft is unacceptable.

Exactly. Priorities.

      Week 12: Other NFL Games

      Plus he was in the era in which Safety, LBs, and CBs could de-cleat WRs/TEs on crossing routes. He was beyond tough too. Plus those numbers his 4.66 40 time etc....... GameDay with 15 LBs of pads/clothes/tape, he was the fastest guy on the field. In fact I never recall at any point Rice being ran down or "hawked" from behind by any player. He was a gamer and clutch, just like lex Lugar the total package.

      Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE.

      He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....
