There were rumors of this a few weeks ago. I am not really shocked. They are arguably at their peak value as a franchise right now.

Paul Allen and his family had a good run. Roughly thirty years of ownership produced two Super Bowl titles, two other Super Bowl appearances and a number of other winning seasons. They gave the franchise their greatest period of success since they joined the league.
Dude's name is Paul Allen. That's too good, how am I just learning this.

Hmm, the new owner is pretty good, but let's see a clip of Paul Allen's Seahawks.

Oh he died 8 years ago. It's the dude who co-founded Microsoft. Neat The more you know

Indiana Bears seems to be happening. From the Governor of Indiana, Mike Braun:

And a statement from the Bears:

Holy shit!!!

Chicago fans are gonna be flipping their shit
 
The corruption of Chiraq politics in being able to piss off businesses will never cease to amaze me.
It's a win-win for the Bears:
-The stadium site in Indiana is a full 10 miles closer to the current stadium than Arlington Heights was
-No bullshit chicanery from the state of Illinois as the state government does its level best to soak the team in order to throw ever more money into the corruption pit that is Chiraq.

Indiana doesn't have a money pit with the voting power to demand state gibs to worry about.
 
Which potential buyer not only has the shekels to buy the team, but also wants to buy the team because they genuinely WANT to win Super Bowls?

If they get an owner who is anything like the owners of the Bengals, Browns, Cardinals, Dolphins, Jets, Titans, Raiders, and I dare say the Cowboys, they will be perpetually effed.

Chicago fans are gonna be flipping their sh*t
Does that include the large Mexican’t, El SalvaPoor, GuateMalaria, HondurAss, and NicaraGuano populations currently squatting in Sh*tcago?

You have several very different kinds of owners described in that list:
  • Bengals, Cardinals, and Titans are all owned by people who inherited the team, run it on the cheap, and are generally content with their cut of the NFL's profit sharing while blustering on about legacy. No impetus besides personal ambition (lol) for them to invest in their team to win Super Bowls, and, for some of them, not really the cash on hand to do it either.
  • Browns, Dolphins, and Jets were all purchased by personally successful businessmen who think their skills translate into other fields, to the ruination of their team. Jerry Jones and the Cowboys might be the terminal version of this, since he doesn't even hide behind rumors of meddling in team affairs, he's openly the GM. All of these men desperately want a Super Bowl, but keep stepping on their own dick before getting there.
  • Raiders are a weird edge case. Mark Davis was very much part of the former group, but the deal he cut with Vegas to get the Raiders there and build Allegiant stadium means his cash flow problems are solved, he gets a cut of non-football revenue from a venue that prints money. And he has invested, dude's paying 3 old coaches of his still. I think he's still figuring out how to hire good football people and that's why Brady's bought in as the new face of ownership/someone to tell him he's making a fool's mistake.
 
Well, another unspoken benefit would be that it makes it safer to get to the games for those coming in from elsewhere to not have to go to Chicago
You, uh...you don't know Hammond, do you? Gary used to be a dangerous shithole and kinda still is after dark, but it's mostly a ghost town now. Hammond is what Gary used to be. Not as bad as it was 30 years ago, but let's just say I wouldn't want to walk to the train station from that stadium location after a night game.

Soldier Field is in a decent location. Hammond is where the niggers who can't afford to live on the South Side move to.

Mike Brown cares alot about winning. Probably more than most owners but he's too stuck in his boomer ways to change anything. He idolizes his dad and still thinks of football likes it's the 50s or 60s instead of current year + 10. He's not cheap because he's rolling in cash, he's cheap because it's how his dad was and that's how he thinks his team should operate. The man refused to get an air conditioner for decades because he didn't have one growing up. He was one of the last teams to sell their stadiums naming rights because he wanted to honor his father’s legacy. He only relented when he knew he had to sell the naming rights to remain competitive. That's not how a cheap owner would act, it's how an out of touch boomer acts.

Nobody agrees with how he runs the team, but everyone who has interacted with him agrees that he loves football and really wants to win. His way of winning is just outdated. It's ironic because his dad was and huge innovator.

I also think the NFL needs owners like Mike Brown. I don't like that a bunch of billionaires are buying teams for an investment and do not care one bit about the game itself. Most owners rubber stamp the crap Jerry jones and Goodell push onto the league because line must go up even if it hurts the game. If you ever look at who votes for what, Mike Brown is always voting no on everything. Even if I don't agree I still think it's funny that he'll always be against Goodell and Jones.

Good got him to stand against hacks like current Jerry and ex-New York Jets intern Goodell

There's being cheap to follow your dad's example, and there's being cheap to the degree you're the one guy the league regularly had to talk about salary floor compliance instead of salary cap compliance.
He's doing that less these days because his daughter's more involved, Joe Burrow fell into his lap, and he was willing to put a brand's name on his stadium to keep that kid in town, but still. Art Rooney II cares about winning while being a little thrifty. He gets hit for it in the team report cards. But Rooney gets hit for it, Brown gets downright shellacked. The degree of difference matters.

That’s true, but they all consistently sabotage their teams to the point that they not only don’t win, they CAN’T win.

Mark Davis is indeed a strange case, but how long has he been running the Raiders’ sh*t show? He’s clearly been making bad choices in terms of coaches and personnel for many years. He hired 74 year old Pete Carrol to be the HC despite the fact the game had obviously passed him by in his last handful of seasons in Seattle.

Thunderdoming refers to a humorous or exaggerated term that can have several meanings:
  • It can describe a sexual act where two women are involved while two men reach over the top of them, creating a dome shape, often associated with heavy drinking or drug use.


  • In a more lighthearted context, it can refer to a facetious or humorous situation, as seen in gaming discussions or social media.


  • Additionally, it can be used in a slang context to describe a shiny forehead or a specific sexual move.

    Overall, the term is often used in a playful or exaggerated manner across different contexts.

It’s unfortunate that JJ Watt was stuck playing for some bad teams in Houston. Imagine the numbers he could have put up if he played on a consistent playoff contender..
