My father-in-law insists that he remembers Mike Brown (Bengals owner) many years ago complaining when they made the playoffs because of the extra expenses the Bengals incurred when they made it to the post season. I don't believe that making the playoffs has an economic downside. Surely the teams that are still playing after the regular season are generating some extra profits, aren't they?

DEFINETELY MAN ......when a playoff team is in the playoffs everyone buys a ticket, it's sold out, pople hop on a bandwagon and buy all the merchandise of a team, it's allmost triple in the number of viewers that want to see the elite playing the elite. the playoff system is amazing win or go home, not eight teams but six teams- for the nfls elite only. The superbowl is the biggiest form of revenue for products, publicity, relations, media. The money forming ideoliges are endlesssssssss........thats why it's americas number one championship to watch.................................................why have like 500 bowl games when you can have 1 SUPER-bowl game.

Regular season TV revenues are equally split between ALL teams, so nothing extra there for playoff teams. About the only thing extra I see are the added gate, parking, and concession revenues if you have a home playoff game. But then you have to add in the extra pay the players get for playoff games. I've never heard of the league paying playoff teams a higher share of the TV revenues but that would definitely make sense.

The Bengals only made the playoffs with him last year in 05. I think your father in law is wrong about the years back. Brown has only been owner since 91 and in the 90s the Bengals usually had pretty bad records. They only had a winning record in 05 with Mike Brown.

I'm sure the extra home game ticket sales, and tv time make up for expenses.
But, some players may have earned extra money for being in the playoffs, due to their contracts.
Mike Brown is just a tightwad, who got lucky with decent players in the draft.

The whole NFL is about money. It is a business. If they didn't make money in the playoffs there would be no wild card teams in the playoffs just division winners.
Looks like you win.

elegance is interior the attention of the beholder, even with the shown fact that i might say a extra angular jaw has traditionally been considered as extra manly/sexy. My bf has a advantageous vast bone shape, it fairly is a contributing ingredient to him being the main good-looking guy in the international.
