Set the Barn on Fire, get rid of the Rats.

You're forgetting a large part of the 'business' portion of the sport. If Pacman Jones is suspended for the entire year, the Titans lose a TON of money. Even if a portion of his pay is suspended with him, the Titans have already spent way too much money on him to let him sit for a year for disciplinary reasons.

A good league business guy would be able to tell you what it costs for a top 10 pick to be suspended for a year.

Rule of thumb for a typical American company is that it costs about $20,000 for an employee to "not work out" soon after a hire. That's obviously an approximate, but you bring him in, interview him, train him, pay him, and then he just either quits or gets fired, and you can expect that much off of your bottom line.

Pacman is paid so much more than a typical American employee, that I can guess that it's costing the Titans' owner millions of dollars, inluding the cost of a lost draft pick, signing and training his replacement, ect.

Yes it's a business about winning, but it's also an investment business. Bud Adams can only pi$$ away so many dollars on this loser before he's outta there.

 

So, did you start that post out by trying to sound offensive and abraisive and then change your mind right before you clicked "submit reply?"

I don't get why you'd be mad at me at this point, but the renege was equally confusing.

 

I bet now you wish you'd have set the barn on fire and gotten rid of the rats! Pacman is out for the year, and you know what that means:
Twice the booze,
Twice the dope,
Twice the strippers,
and Twice Arrested!

His brown little thug booty is going to have a bullseye on it before too long, because that boy's headed to PRISON! Maybe then he'll realize the value of deep secondary coverage!
