if the taterskins had a good gm...or any gm...they would be the gold standard...the continously spend money at unseen levels and never have to pay a price for it...snyders fiscal policy is great...its his player personel policy that is fatally flawed

I actually was thinking the same thing.  If he was paying big money to players who actually deserved it then the taterskins would be scary for a long long time.  But since Danny Boy is a moron without a clue, his team will continue to be a laughingstock.

for anyone interested sal pal is gonna be on wip shortly to discuss his contention that the reason the eagles are so cheap and always so far under the cap is that they have a ton of stadium debt and need money

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

They should have totally stayed at the Vet.

sal pal

-ask any owner or agent and they will tell you the birds are in serious debt

-borried a lot of money for the linc

-he talked to another owner who would like a new stadium and asked him if hed use the lurie model and the guy was like no way to much debt

-third in the league in revenue behind cowboys and skins

-one of the ways they generate a lot of revenue is that they will absolutely not overpay for any player

-says the that the eagles manage their debt as much as they manage the salary cap with their deals...specifically these extensions to young players theyve been giving out lately

-rhetorically asking where the tens of millions of dollars that they are under the cap goes (the answer: to their bottom line)

-whole heartedly believes that they want to win but they also want to manage their debt just as much

haha he said matt mccoy didnt even get a combine invite....should have never been drafted...should not be in the nfl

again i ask as matarano just did...how could everyone on earth know this except the eagles

[Quasimoto]

I have 54 cents in my back pocket I can donate to the stadium debt if Lurie really needs it.

[NGM]

I'm not saying any of this is true or untrue but Sal Pal always seems to have some sort of shot he wants to take at the Eagles FO and the fans. 

[ice grillin you]

i know what youre saying but he said all this is common knowledge amongst owners and agents thruout the league...

talking about the debt situation.....the mccoy stuff was of course his opinion

[Susquehanna Birder]

Who is Lurie indebted with? The state?

[ice grillin you]

he didnt say specifically but im guessing with the banks...the amount of money he spent out of his own pocket for the stadium im guessing was loaned to him

[Feva]

Lurie and Co are running this team just as if it were a private business.  The desire is there to improve but not if it's going to affect their ability to get out of debt.  From a business stand point, it makes sense.  From a fan stand point, I don't give a shtein.  Get some farging players. 

[NGM]

Isn't that what naming rights are for?

How the hell could he still be in that much debt?

[ice grillin you]

he came into the league with money of course but not dan snyder or jerry jones money...for a pro sports owner he wasnt that wealthy



The desire is there to improve but not if it's going to affect their ability to get out of debt.  From a business stand point, it makes sense.  From a fan stand point, I don't give a shtein.  Get some farging players. 

the key question is whether this is a conflict of interest...can you have a desire to manage debt AND have a desire to win

[Sgt PSN]

If I remember correctly, about half of the stadium was funded with tax dollars while the rest was split between naming rights and Lurie. 

I still don't understand now, just as I didn't understand then, why Lurie didn't model the naming rights after the Cleveland Browns who sold naming rights to different companies for the gates.  So instead of entering the stadium through Gate A you would enter through the ABC Company gate.  Obviously, its not going to sell for the same price as the naming rights to the entire stadium but when you've got a half dozen gates and you can sell the naming rights to each one to a different company you still stand to make a ton of cash......possibly more when you combine them all than selling the stadium name to one single company.
