NFL Teams Don't Need to Win to Get Rich
Published 5/15/2007 by Ryan Wilson at FanHouse
... : According to 2005 statistics, the Washington Redskins have 175,000 names on their list and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have 115,000 names. That's the largest waiting list in the NFL ... by 60,000 ... which is roughly the size of Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. That is phenomenal. It also points to the dichotomy some NFL owners face: yeah, winning is great and all, but the bottom line is ... well, the bottom line. Teams can make money without winning a bunch of football games and the Redskins are an example of that. That's not to say they're not trying to win, just that winning doesn't preclude them from getting filthy rich. Which explains why the 'Skins keep Vinny Cerrato around -- he's harmless and always available to play racquetball with the boss. Thanks to Hogs Haven for the pointer.
