I wouldn't doubt that's about right. Though isn't Moody's the bond rating entity that predicted an 8% return on pension funds over the previous decade?

You'll get your Red Zone, but unless DirecTV changes the contract with the NFL (again), there won't be individual games available on any phone service. And I know this from talking to DirecTV about my Sunday Ticket. Said they'd be able to make more money with A la Carte service than the combined. The person said that wouldn't be happening in the foreseeable future because of the NFL Contract.
Now, what I can see the NFL doing is entering into contracts with the different phone providers to have Sunday Ticket on your phone at an additional cost. Or a separate cost if you don't want it for your home. But it will be the full blown Sunday Ticket.
But how much new revenue would that produce. For me, I wouldn't pay the extra because I DVR the games at home and can just ignore the scores until I watch it.
The problem with the "projections" is that many of them are using 2005 and 2006 dollars as their starting point and ignoring the major economic downturn we've been through.
Come on, there are so many unique facets to GB that they can't really be compared to other franchises in terms of valuation. For one thing the franchise effectively can't be moved or sold, unlike every other franchise. One Shareholder can't own more than 200k shares of the 4.7M in existence. They are in a tiny market, limiting non-NFL merchandising income. Income is handled differently than for for profits. I don't know for sure but I suspect Green Bay could be the least valuable franchise in the NFL in many ways and therefore isn't enough of an analogue to the rest of the franchises for the owners to claim that seeing GB's books is equivalent to seeing all of the books.

Bank said the NFL could indeed see its media fees surpass $8 billion annually in a decade, but he warned that it is misleading to say that the figure would double what’s being paid currently because of escalators that are built into the league’s media contracts.

Nice of you to post that, Miguel. 8 billion by 2020. Not the 20 billion that Cmass was talking about.
This is a particularly nice quote:
In other words, if the situation isn't fixed, the owners won't get an adequate ROI for new Stadiums.. And there are 12 teams whose stadiums haven't been ungraded since before 1999.
Here is another key quote:
Now. I see some problems with the projections. First, they are assuming that a full season will be played this year. I'd be willing to bet that if games are missed, the league won't make those projections. And the league will be damaged both with fans and with their sponsors.
This is the simpleton way of looking at things. Everyone with even a modicum of sense knew that the owners were going to opt out of the CBA at the earliest possible moment. And they knew it before the ink was dry on the 2006 CBA.
As for the players being satisfied, that is hardly true. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had a laundry list of items ready to go for the new CBA talks.
Now, I find it funny that you continue to beat this drum blaming the owners, yet you have failed to provide one SHRED of evidence of an offer from the players to the owners other than "status quo".
As for people providing sound and legitimate arguments as to why the owners opted out, people have done that. You've ignored it. Just like you've ignored the questions asked of you.
