Mark:

Why don’t they just buy up those tickets?

Because the Glazers are in business to sell tickets, not give them away.

How many grocery stores give away $50 gift certificates just to get people to buy bread?

I read somewhere that as owners the Glazers can buy tickets at $4.00 a piece in order to lift the blackouts. When games are falling short of the total needed by about 7000 to 8000. Why don’t they just buy up those tickets? It seems to me it would make more sense as far as marketing the team. So that’s what 7000 X 4 = $28,000. That’s it. That’s all they would have to spend. Hell it must cost more than that for 1 billboard.

I wish Obama all the best luck in the World. I pray that he leads us in the right direction to prosperity. I prayed for the same thing 4 years ago when he won.

My biggest fear is just what happens when we run out of OPM, other people’s money. Who pays then? We are just about there. Nevertheless, I still hope he can pull it off and do great things, but I won’t hold my breath.

Nothing would make me happier than if Obama could prove me wrong with everything I know about business and financial management, and convert me to a Democrat. The problem is when you look at everything our Founding Fathers wrote when they created this Nation, 99% of it is the polar opposite of Progressive Idealism.

I apologize to any here that I may have offended over the past politically. I hope and pray you guys are right and I am wrong and that everything works out for the best. And please don’t try to take our guns with this UN Arms Treaty. We are the most heavily armed Nation of People in the world.

Maybe if we could get the Islamic Radicals to start smoking weed, we could have a Big Chill. Let’s Smokem Peace Pipe.

Go World Peace!!!

I can’t believe the right wing extremists here are blaming Obama for this! Then you wonder why Romney lost the election. Face it, this state simply BLOWS. We still don’t even know who won Florida! That Obama’s fault too, I suppose?

@bkny.

You are so correct. Where did the great spine of this county go to that my grandpa gave his life for on Normandy beach in 1944. A real American and hero. Go big red 1.

I see a bunch of Whiney mitts on here.

Americans Buc fans & Joe himself discreetly blaming the president for poor attendance. What else?

Did he drink the last of your milk in the fridge?

This site has a cesspool of excuses from both sides of the aisle.

It’s a guilty pleasure to read these comments.

Thanks Bucs fans.

You guys in Hillsborough county voted for Obama, expect the blackouts to continue until 2016. Real national unemployment rate is 14.1%. Not 7.9%. More people are struggling now than ever. Bad economy….means empty seats in the stadium. Welfare checks, 47 million on food stamps and more government dependency is not the recipe for economic growth in this country.

Sorry if i’m getting too political but the election outcome devastated me on Tuesday. The wrong man won. Obama’s philosophy: keep spending money. What happens when we need more? Just keep printing more and more.

Luckily, my Bucs are playing on Sunday so maybe the depression will go away if they win Doug Martin = beast.

@Phil
I do not agree…when there is billions more in $$$ to be made there is always a way. Every business man would agree 100%. Its in discussion at the moment. Its all about the BENJAMINS! This will be for DTV subscribers only but market pressures will change that in time as long as comcast and Vz PAY just like you saw with NFL network and red-zone.

DTV is already offering a deal a-la-cart to PAC-12 for college (the pac-12 rejected it…doh!) and I suspect by next season you will be able to purchase an team package for fav college team.

Quote from DTV on college a-la-cart:

“We just proposed a new solution where we could offer (the Pac-12 Networks) as a stand-alone channel before this Saturday’s games for anyone who might wish to subscribe to it and also proposed another where customers could buy future games on an on-demand basis until we get this worked out.

“Pac 12 rejected both without any consideration, demanding nothing less than a significant price and the express condition that all of our DIRECTV customers pay for this channel whether they are interested or not.”
