While I am sure not every city/state had to find a way to get an NFL team, i'm not open to the belief that we were the only one who's path was an alternate path, especially after that precedent was set... or maybe that was a play from a previous precedent.

Business deals are generally like ice bergs, and the bigger the deal the more ice under the surface.

In many ways the NFL reminds me of West World.

I am glad it worked lol.
