Mikey currently working on a new stadium. But the only city in the Valley that picked up the phone is Peoria. And STA won’t be nearly as nice with the lease this time around.
This makes total sense. We’ll be just like the CMC Panthers - one player (Love) surrounded by scrubs losing every year before trading him to a competent franchise for fifty cents on the dollar where he’ll elevate his game. Thats probably why Lynch was smirking.
Went around and knocked on doors for heaven’s sake so that the loser Bidwill family could get their stadium. The least they can do is put Mac’s name on that building somewhere.
I kinda don’t blame Monti. 48yo and nobody else wanted him to be GM. So might as well do the dumb dance and kiss up the owner by doing what he wants. Extend seven-figure earning window by 4-5 years to ~10 years and guarantee you and the kids live comfortably forever. The math works on that...
This is unheard of in basically any sport. Nobody gets a second cycle if the first is a total trainwreck. This is especially the case in the NFL which more than any sport is built for parity and quick turnarounds.
But Monti knows the rules to this particular game. The whole league does...
