Makes a lot of sense given the economy, payroll and owner style. - Will Hunting Apr 20, 08:45 3

  - Yeah, he seemed to know 140m isn't sustainable for them but he didn't care in the short-term if he could brighten Detroit's day last year/this. - Will Hunting Apr 20, 08:52 1

I see two teams (one just under $0 and one way under), but yeah. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 20, 08:44 1
