All those small towns that pack 80-100k fans every Saturday don't want to hear it, and most other areas of the country that would love to have a NFL team to go see!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17525411555797614762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021348172235346593.post-31819611392346175002013-12-19T16:45:34.923-05:002013-12-19T16:45:34.923-05:00Locally, we do not have to worry about TB Bucs bla...Locally, we do not have to worry about TB Bucs blackouts for 2014 and 2015, because the naming rights deal with Raymond James expires in 2015. The reason the Glazers took care to make sure there were no blackouts this year, (it cost them next to nothing, as there were only 2 games where they had to buy tickets - Arizona Cardinals and Atlanta Falcons - cost of less than $400,000) - is because the TB Bucs were the clear cut Blackout Champions for 2010, 2012, 2013, and it was very visible to all. When they go three seasons in a row without blackouts - 2013, 2014, and 2015, nobody will remember that and they will be able to negotiate a lucrative naming rights deal with whoever.scott myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02612909222047091812noreply@blogger.com
