Sure, that's fine, but I would think that the benefit of having South Beach would give us a little more bargaining leverage than that. So Goodell and the NFL are dangling a Super Bowl as bait in exchange for being the first sacrifical lamb of the globilization of the league, well, what if we refuse? Where else are they gonna take the Super Bowl, freezing cold Indianapolis? Disease-ridden Detroit? How about middle-of-nowhere Jacksonville again? I dunno, just seems to me that, one way or another, the NFL wouldn't be able to ignore Miami as a SB destination for too long anyway.
I say, so what, better this season than one where we expect to contend.
I saw it the exact opposite way. We won all of 6 games last season, so I don't think we're in any position to put ourselves at any kind of competitive disadvantage.
