I know him a little. I hang out with his daughter and her crew and her friends of friends. I was not invited to her wedding, but my friends were. I have had some cigar time with Jer though in the past few months.
Anyway, at this point, all he cares about is winning. He just has no idea how to do it… other than hiring a GM, and he’d rather feature himself in a gay porn vids than have the embarrassment of hiring a GM. Jerry knows what the team is worth but he has no idea what’s it’s fucking EBITDA is. He doesn’t care about selling tickets or parking or beers or merch. He may be a cartoon, but he’s not Mr Burns. He doesn’t care to be any richer, the argument is silly.
But speaking of silly, he is very much trying to luck into a Super Bowl win because he’s seen others do it. I say luck, because he knows he’s old and can’t entirely rebuild the roster. So he has to do it, more or less, with the same group of characters. He sees the Giants and Ravens and others as teams that caught the right groove with a veteran coach & QB combo and got a Super Bowl win. Thats his remaining mission.
But like I said. He has no idea how to do that. He’s been playing roster whack-a-mole for decades.
Some of my take is me projecting or trying to read between the lines. But in limited football conversation I’ve been a part of, money had absolutely nothing to do with it. He’s trying to win with his current core, and I think that it won’t work. But I hope I’m wrong.
