roguebeaver Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Knowing that just cruising around on his yacht, attending soccer games for the team(s) he is financially vested in, and the 16 games the falcons perform in annually, truly what motivates him towards producing a Lombardi! Bottom line he gets at a minimum about 240 million a year just by owning the team from the NFL, TV revenue, and other revenue that the team generates exclusively. So, a team like the Browns and the Falcons can muddle about forever and turn a profit while never winning a SB... This enterprise is founded on the ideology that if you’re an owner and in the club, you’ll never lose your ability to make some easy cash. So no wonder the remaining 12 of 32 teams floundering about in the NFL Are without a Lombardi. Money does not seem to be a driving factor in acquiring a Lombardi. Most likely it’s just a winners attitude of reaching the pinnacle of any endeavor and f being the best. My feeling is that the team and Arthur almost made it in SB 51 and the sting defeat killed the desire to be the best. Instead of accepting the challenge and learning, and to keep going in a manner that drives a successful attempt at a Lombardi, Arthur has succumbed to the realization that it’s just too tough, to much of a drain emotionally, and physically and fell back on the stand by, I’m here to make money only, and I can do that without doing anything at all! So, the upcoming CBA will put this on full display and the players themselves are no longer going to buy into the we are just supporting characters, but are indeed the stars! We want to get their share and say be danmed to the owners that care not, to win, but just make money while leading the fans into believing they are in it for the Lombardi, when they in reality just want the green! Arthur, I believe knows when to invest, when to let it ride, and when to cut bait. Currently with the Falcons, I feel he is in the let it ride mode, and has Rich to oversee the flow..., nothing more, nothing less! Make the green and all is well in Falconland.

Sorry if it’s too conflated for some folks. Bottom line, he is going to make money regardless, and the players want more money, and Arthur perhaps doesn’t care to make another vested go round for a Lombardi. Just make money only, that’s all.

dothan_birdman Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) While I can follow your logic, I think you’re overlooking a few key elements of human nature. First, he’s a Billionaire who made money by being aggressive, creative, and patient; Home Depot was not built in a day. That takes patience and commitment Two, he bought a NFL franchise. That takes more than money. That also requires some vanity. Jerry Jones is full of it and himself. Other owners aren’t as open about it but it’s clearly still there. This same man bought a giant Yacht. That’s a mindset of more than just “Good enough” Everything I can find about him says he’s patient but determined in business and believes in his own vision and he does not settle and his actions with the Falcons follows this as well His problem is his in willingness to adjust from his own vision He’s a billionaire. That has worked for him I may disagree with his vision or actions, but I think you’re way off base on thinking he doesn’t care about winning or wanting a SuperBowl title Edited January 17, 2020 by dothan_birdman Boise Falcon Fan and Sicairos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to foolish to believe that every team owner is not in it to win it all. No billionaire wants to take a back seat to anyone, especially to other billionaires. Also, what kind of wealthy person goes out and spends a massive amount of money for a team just so they can make some money in return. No, these guys are team owners because they love the game, the notoriety, and their place in the community and abroad. I'll guarantee you that none of these owners want the label of a perennial loser attached to anything they own or run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
