Heading to HORNET town


Porkchop Express

Recommended Posts

I was at a Christmas luncheon with a Spartanburg businessman who told me he and his partners had decided not to purchase their playoff tickets. "Nobody wanted to go, and we wanted to save the money." I told him that he would be in danger of losing his PSLs, and he acted shocked ... like it was the first time he'd ever heard of that. Then, he acknowledged that someone else "managed" the PSL account for the group ... I told him he needed to get with that person immediately. It already was past the due date to pay for them. I wonder whether they've gotten the letter.

Yes Sir,.........that's a wonderful group of fans right there.

If some PSL owners are going to use the economy as an excuse, what makes them think that they will be any better off in the fall (when it comes to buy season tickets) than they are now.

There is no inherent right for fans to own a PSL. The contract governs the terms of the relationship.

Actually, that time's going to come in the spring ... around tax time!

If you can't honor your contract, there are others who will take that PSL AND honor it! "I don't think I'll go to the playoff game this year...guess I'll save the money." Give me a break!! If you're no more of a fan than that, go to the doctor and see if they can surgically give you a pair!:rant:

    • Agents have been out-negotiating GMs for years. That's why they had to implement the rookie wage scale. Top drafted rookies were basically starting to walk into the NFL as some of the highest paid guys in the league. Take it up in the next CBA. In the meantime, it is what it is. Agents hold the upper hand in these rookie negotiations and they know it. The teams already have a significant unrecoverable investment spent on these draftees in the value of the pick that they spent. Given the rookie wage scale there's not much to negotiate other than guarantees and offset language and once again the agents are kicking the GMs' asses again.
    • Except it's not about the money, it's precedent and teams not wanting to go down that path.  Once you guarantee all the 2nd rounders, then the 3rd rounders will want it, and so on.  If they keep viewing it as say, "well it's only X amount of money" then it's a slippery slope that doesn't end. Then you get Free Agents saying, "well if you're fully guaranteeing the contract of an unproven 57th pick of the draft, you clearly should be fully guaranteeing mine as your big FA signing this offseason" The NFL doesn't work with fully guaranteed contracts under it's current cap model.  If you want to give them out to the true elite of the elite players at impact positions like QB and Edge, then so be it, but there needs to be a line in the sand or it will get real messy.
    • I really don't think it's that debatable. New England had some argument but our roster was far worse, IMO.
