1. Al used to do that in L.A.

wanna kill your fan base? never broadcast the games

4. That's NFL policy

If you don't sell out 72 hours(They allow leeway if it's close) before the game it is blacked out locally usually up to 75 miles. I experienced this for years as a Cardinals fan. As far as I know Jacksonville is blacked out all season which explains why the GM mentioned publicly about drafting Tebow to increase ticket sales.

2. 45 years ago,Al was a revolutionary.

But history shows that revolutionaries have
a limited effective time in power and things
would be better if they handed off control to
someone else.
Al doesn't like to admit that he has made a
mistake, especially with draft choices.

5. Roon, the Eagles used to do that from time to time, but the present owner

understands that this pisses many fand off, so if there is a shortfall, he buys them up. They have regularly been selling out the stadium for some time now.
