Jonboy Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Luke, AKA @Mercalius, joins @Jonboy, and @Jamalisms for Episode 115 of the Two Tone Crew. The guys are knee-deep in a GM discussion when news breaks about a possible direction the Titans could be headed for GM. They talk about the pending Head Coach search and discuss some new theories on why the NFL and Titans are at odds. http://traffic.libsyn.com/twotonecrew/Episode_115.output.mp3 http://twotonecrew.libsyn.com/rssStitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-two-tone-crewVoicemail:(615) 900-0282Mailbag: [email protected]Facebook:http://www.facebook.com/titansreportTwitter:Titans Report- @titansreport Jonboy- @RetroRaconteur Jamal- @Jamalisms iTunes:https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-two-tone-crew/id485247545?mt=2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Concerning the money. The only thing that totally makes sense to me regarding the issues the league has with the Titans is they don't consider the Adams family wealthy enough to run an NFL team. Obviously they get league shared revenue that can generate enough to run operations for the most part. But in this day you need a lot of available liquid cash. I assume Bud's company was split 3 ways just like the team so assuming the company has tanked with falling oil prices the Adams family might not be making much money(in terms of super rich people). Maybe the team makes them more money than the biz? When Tommy took over he was focused on the stadium and concessions, he was dead set on getting paying customers to the games. They are doing fan focus groups and dead set on PSLs(owners get to keep this money!) Then add in the fact the last few years the Titans are the last team to sign their top pick. The significance here #1 picks have guaranteed contracts. Mariota's contract is guaranteed at right under 25 mill. Although the team doesn't have to pay him that right away they do have to put it in a fund all at once. The Dolphins owner, Ross had to bank 60 mill in a fund for Suh. I believe money is a reason the top picks have been strung along the last few years, not off set language. In three or four years when the Titans have to sign Mariota it could be a monstrous deal with a ton of guaranteed money. Can the current owner structure fund that? There is a difference in using the shared revenue to pay weekly expenses and having the cold hard available cash to operate an NFL team. I believe the latter is possibly a real problem for the Titans owners. We have "Melvin" for an owner! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the 3 split is at the parent company level and it filters down to all the subsidiaries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
