I do not believe the NFL wants Tom Brady back on the stage.. I believe the commish is hoping to never give Brady and Co another damn thing on that stage... I truly believe that the officials in the NE KC match tried to give an honest accounting, while trying not to directly impact the outcome..
Unlike the Saints game and their officials.... who were all clearly asleep at one point that we all know of.
And regarding the Rams.. Aren't the Rams in the process of building what will be the newest, most luxurious Stadium in the world?? Hmmmm .. wonder what kinda deals were struck behind closed doors to move the team from St Louis to LA.. and to get the approval to build a stadium thats going cost almost 5 times what "Jerry Land" (Cowboys New Stadium) cost upon completion ($1.2BIL).
Update March 2018: NFL owners will vote to increase the debt limit for the Los Angeles Rams' new stadium, which is now expected to cost about $4.963 billion, ESPN's Seth Wickersham reports, citing internal league documents. It was initially expected that the new stadium in Inglewood was projected to cost about $2.6 billion.. Can you say "Big Dig"..
Again... wonder what kinda deals were done behind closed doors.. Follow the money trail.
Let's look at the Patriots shall we ....
Gillette Stadium .. Construction began March 24, 2000 and was completed and opened for business May 11, 2002..
The cost to build "Brady Land".. a meager $325MIL. with the entire amount being privately funded.. HMM privately funded..
Wonder what the reward is for an ownership group that generate's the funds privately to build a new stadium, not taking taxpayer dollars or requiring league backed loans from banks..etc etc??? A team super bowl appearance in 2001 perhaps ????
Does anyone know the current most expensive stadium built (completed) in the NFL ???
Mercedes Benz Stadium, home the Atlanta Falcons.. coming in at $1.6BIL.. Doors opened Aug 2017..
When did the Falcons play NE in the Super Bowl ..??? Feb 2017.
Where's 2018 Super Bowl being played .. Mercedes Benz Stadium, Atlanta.. Who owns Mercedes Benz Stadium?? The State of Georgia..
Wonder what kinda of deal you make with the owners of the team and with the State of Georgia to pull this one off.. ???
Back to the officiating.. Is there an agenda or do you believe its just coincidence that all the teams that are having the fancy new stadiums built .. Are making super bowls appearances around the time of construction/completion.. and/or the NFL rewards said franchise with the Super Bowl itself for building the new stadium.???
I think not.. Follow the money.
So.... If i am following the money, my vote/pick is for the Rams.
