" You think they are going to strip the Mara family? "

The "woke" NFL would like to be rid of co-owner Steve Tisch, however. I trace the fall of the Giants to the arrival of the Tischs fresh off their destruction of the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS).

Media markets, particularly the tri-state enclave - which now has more soccer fans than American football fanatics - are absolutely agnostic. They just want watchable entertainment while placing their bets across the Hudson River in Hoboken and Jersey City. The Giants and the Jets are no longer eye candy. Besides, no one receives television signals via rabbit ears any longer. The former media markets matter not anymore. Stream, baby, stream!

Stripped doesn't mean they are taking it without paying you.

The Carolina Panthers went for $2.5B.

Two teams in the biggest media market in the country? It's not happening but still fun to discuss - there is no chance it's less than $8B and I would say much closer to $10B.

You think they are going to strip the Mara family, who is a founding family of the league, that's pretty funny stuff. And the Jets, Woody Johnson, yep. He's definitely going to stand by and let his ownership get stripped as well. No issues there.

" You mean other than the fact that it would cost close to $10 Billion to do it, and the current owner's don't want to sell? "

Check the fine-print in the NFL franchisee agreement. Ownership can in fact be stripped for cause, e.g., gross incompetence.

The NFL ain't what it used to be pre-Covid-19, pre-BLM, and pre-Kaepernick. Nor is New York what it used to be pre-Cuomo and pre Bill de Blasio. That $10 billion you cite without source is closer to Trump's net worth than it is to the going rate for a pair of bottom-dwelling NFL franchises sharing the same bare-bones stadium.

The NFL is broken. The NFL's NCAA feeder-system is broken as well.

NJ resident here. Both teams have been horrible for the past few years. I don't think too many people would care if they were bought out. When they played each other last year, people referred to the game as the "Basement Bowl" or the "Toilet Bowl," because both teams were so terrible. I'm actually a Ravens fan anyway!

There should be a negative consequence for being worst - not the reward of the prime pick in the draft.

The Giants have won four Super Bowls and been to five. You are crazy! NFL championships are before my time but they are a storied franchise and you are clueless. Please tell us what franchises are always good? Even the Steelers, cowboys, 49ers, Packers, Etc have gone through rough patches.

You have got to be kidding. They have a huge fan base and you should get out more because there are tons of fans.

I’m not one of them!
