Louis Riddick is very close with Andy/Veach so you know he is not just speaking off the cuff with those comments.

Apparently it's a running joke an NFL guy, Jason Cole, was on a show I heard driving home from work and he said "oh I've been there those facilities are hot garbage"

If I was this guy I'd worry more about the hot garbage he is shoveling down his gullet.

The wild thing about the NFLPA is how they do the annual piss and moan about artificial turf, but when we have the NFL combine and upcoming free agency, the teams that play on turf are never described as a place a player would not want to play for because their home field playing surface.

That’s just his opinion, though.

I’d bet the package of amenities and facilities does play a factor into many players’ decision making.

Bullshit ROFL

i hope the chiefs downgrade the practice facility locker room

the players shouldn't want to spend time in there - you have better things to do than powder your jockstrap

next thing you know they'll want recliners in the meeting rooms

You're telling me someone is turning down more money over a ****ing practice facility ��

They have no control where they are drafted and FA decisions are based on how much money they get....PERIOD. I've also never heard of a trade blocked over it either ROFL "home town discounts " and "caring about practice facilities " simply don't exist in any imactful way

Pasta Little Brioni 02-29-2024 01:08 PM

Hmm so maybe THAT is what happened with HUGH DOUGLAS

One of the most frustrating things we learned in hiring attorneys and managers (theoretically people who would be good big picture thinkers) was that the bottom line didn't matter much to most people.

They cared about salary.

Car, bonuses, annual profit distributions, gold plated healthcare - didn't matter. We were losing folks to higher salaries that actually offered less total compensation over a 12 month timeline.

So we stopped. Just said 'screw it - let them come to us after a couple years and ask for some of that stuff. If it's salary that gets them to yes, change the salary and make the rest of it worse...'

It ended up 1-2% cheaper for us to just pay higher salaries with lesser benefits. And in so doing, we had better success getting people hired. It just wasn't worth the headache to swim upstream anymore so we didn't.

The vast vast VAST majority of people make that choice on salary. The rest of it is something that may impact job satisfaction and retention later on down the road. But to get people in the door, it was salary that mattered and I don't suspect football players are much different.

People complain about Clark's spending, but the gameday experience at Arrowhead is much less than many places.

Leading the NFL in ticket costs is the Las Vegas Raiders, which has an average cost of $582 per ticket. Behind the Raiders are the Super Bowl 57 contestants: the Kansas City Chiefs at $578 and Philadelphia Eagles at $559. Here are the five highest ticket averages:

Las Vegas Raiders: $582
Kansas City Chiefs: $578
Philadelphia Eagles: $559
Dallas Cowboys: $545
New England Patriots: $534
