but the NFL had no use for that horrible, terrible man Rush....no they wouldn’t let Rush buy into a team because all the rest of the owners are of high character and morals.
I think deliberate tanking is a lot more prevalent than people might imagine in the NFL. It may not be throwing of individual games, but a lack of a commitment to win.
I live in Jacksonville; the Jaguars have become a laughingstock of a team since Shad Kahn bought the team 10 years ago, yet I read he purchased the team for 700 million and it was recently valued at 4.8 billion. That is a helluva ROI for a team that is a bottom dweller. The amount of money the NFL makes is crazy and many owners simply don’t really care if the team wins or not.
I don’t think the Jaguars are throwing individual games, but they have no talent and when they do manage to draft a quality player when they out play their original contract and are due a huge raise, they get traded leaving the team to constantly rebuild.
