It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Sorry but I am with the NFL on this issue.I don't want more reviews and longer games.So whatever excuse they give on this issue I will accept.Even with replays how many calls are still debatable.For instance everyone says Dez was stretching for the goal line ,and had possession but personally I thought he was just going down.
I digress, but why are topics about the Patriots' head coach off topic on a Patriots discussion board?
Schefter is one of the best. Do you never make a mistake at work?He didnt buy into that deflate gate garbage. I mean how do we even know PFT is right?Adam Schefter is going to end up getting sued one of these days...how many false reports do you get before you get fired. What a @#$% joke, he should work for the Boston media if he is going to have this much of a blatant agenda
So the NFL made north of $9 billion last year alone. Then you have the owners and their net worth (est. as of 11/1/14):
1. Paul Allen – Seattle Seahawks $15.8B
2. Stan Kroenke – St. Louis Rams $5.3B
3. Stephen Ross – Miami Dolphins $4.8B
4. Terrance Pegula – Buffalo Bills $4.6B
5. Glazer Family – Tampa Bay Buccaneers $4.5B
6. Shahid Khan – Jacksonville Jaguars $3.8B
7. Robert “Woody” Johnson – New York Jets $3.5B
8. Jerry Jones – Dallas Cowboys $3B
9. Robert Kraft – New England Patriots $2.9B
10. Joan Tisch – New York Giants $2.9B
11. Stephen Bisciotti – Baltimore Ravens $2.1B
12. Bob McNair – Houston Texans $2B
13. Arthur Blank – Atlanta Falcons $1.7B
14. Jim Irsay – Indianapolis Colts $1.6B
15. Jimmy Haslam – Cleveland Browns $1.5B
16. Ford Family – Detroit Lions $1.4B
17. Tom Benson – New Orleans Saints $1.3B
18. Zygi Wilf – Minnesota Vikings $1.3B
19. Virginia Halas McCaskey – Chicago Bears $1.2B
20. Jeffrey Lurie – Philadelphia Eagles $1.2B
21. Daniel Snyder – Washington Redskins $1.2B
22. Jed York – San Francisco 49ers $1.2B
23. Jerry Richardson – Carolina Panthers $1.1B
24. Estate of Bud Adams – Tennessee Titans $1.1B
25. Pat Bowlen – Denver Broncos $1B
26. Alex Spanos – San Diego Chargers $1B
27. Mike Brown – Cincinnati Bengals $925M
28. Dan Rooney – Pittsburgh Steelers $500M
29. Carol & Mark Davis – Oakland Raiders $500M

Left off the list are the Chiefs because it is unknown how much Clark Hunt controls of the family's $5 B, Bill Bidwell whose net worth is unknown but estimated at just shy of $1 B, and the Packers who are owned by the fans.
So if my math is correct... between the league and owners they are worth some where around $83.5 BILLION DOLLARS in 2014!!! (This doesn't take into account the Hunt family and assuming $900 M for Bidwell and a conservative $9 B for the NFL).
It has been reported that Goodell wants the league to earn $25 B annually, this is something that I am sure the owners are salivating at and extra expenses (like the cameras) would cut into this greed. Corporate greed will kill the game.

So no problem with the NFL killing the game with practically more commercial breaks than football in the sake of money, but adding a few extra camera's is going overboard?

DET is losing money. MIA is a pathetic investment.
Let us presume that 4% is an acceptable amount of operating revenue for a business. On that measure, lots of teams are NOT doing well at all. Probably half are NOT good business investments at the present time.
================
That being said, Belichick is correct. It is absurd for owners to argue that the cost of cameras is a key concern. BTW, I think the issue is that the NFL wants the refs to take responsibility for their calls. If there were cameras, the refs would rule for the home team, and reverse only when obvious. The owners prefer the current situation (wrongly I think).

League could address the possibility of blatant homer calls in their evaluation of ref's performance. Look at the # and of course the circumstances of reversals and retire those refs who consistently exceed the baseline by a statistically significant amount.

I agree that it is not the money, it's something else.
And by what measure is the NFL "killing the game"?
attendance? TV audience? profit? popularity of the NFL compared to the other sports?
How much posters like to whine?
