Yeah. This sealed my Sunday Ticket decision. My family already knows not to buy me Cardinals apparel. And I won’t travel to go to a game. I have no interest in giving Bidwill one dollar of support.
Are we risking league intervention with this level of tanking?

A nightmare. And imagine the heads that will role is the sales department because they will be blamed. Bidwill is going to be the only owner who loses money when he changes the uniforms at the fans request. Failson indeed.

I’m sure Monti has a very good VP of Sales in mind to recommend. This is how the toxic New England model gets installed.

Perhaps. However, the Bidwill family has owned the Cardinals for a long, long, long, long time. I think they perhaps like the historical aspect of it. But yes, the money may eventually become a bigger temptation.

Well, the Cards were often a laughingstock for over 90% of their long existence. That certainly didn't bother them over many decades.

No danger of tanking sanctions unless someone in authority says they’re tanking.

Yet the entire universe knows it. Cool, no sanctions. Our new regiment has shown they know how to follow the rules.

It's the NBA, but the Dallas Mavericks were fined $750,000 for sitting players in order to improve their chances of keeping their first round pick which was traded. They accomplished keeping the 10th draft pick in the 2023 draft.
Tim MacMahon, ESPN Staff Writer Apr 14, 2023, 01:18 PM ET:
The league determined that the Mavericks "violated the NBA's player resting policy and demonstrated through actions and public statements the organization's desire to lose the game in order to improve the chances of keeping its first-round pick" in this draft, according to a news release from the NBA.
"The Dallas Mavericks' decision to restrict key players from fully participating in an elimination game last Friday against Chicago undermined the integrity of our sport," Joe Dumars, NBA executive vice president/head of basketball operations, said in a statement from the league office. "The Mavericks' actions failed our fans and our league."

I'm sure the coaches and players will attempt to win games obviously. Even, the 0-16 Lions played hard each week and came close to winning a few despite a horrific roster.
As long as they play Kyler when he is cleared to go, there will be 0% chance league intervention for tanking

Yeah, the Lions seemed to be really trying to win.

They're now on the level of 'You won a free vacation' and find themselves labeled spam on NOMOROBO

Didn't the Jaguars offer some free beers one season they were especially horrid?
I guess just treat it like a comedy event. Enjoy a few drinks and laugh.

Hard time zzz ton soooo pissed on release nuk
When Colangelo "owned" the team he actually personally owned only 18-20% of the team but was the managing partner.
How much does Michael actually own as the Cardinals' managing partner (sibling)?

Ticket master has regular season tickets for as little as 30 bucks on the resale market.
That is bonkers.
If McCain hadn't forced the NFL to dump their blackout rules the Cards home games would probably hardly be on local TV this year.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
I'd be more inclined to send money to a Nigerian prince than get Cards season tickets right now.

i dont think they are tanking, as in "Stephen Ross of the Dolphins offering his HC money to lose games down the stretch" like tanking.
(and BTW: the NFL never suggested he sell the team for that nor did they even punish them for it -- so we might as well let go of that delusional fantasy).
i think that like many, many new executives taking charge of a business that isn't doing well -- step one for Monti is to tear it down to the studs.
this is a Detroit Lions style rebuild of two seasons ago -- complete with rehabilitating a once promising QB who seemed to have lost his way

It's a good question, but I don't have the answer. Maybe it's listed somewhere.
