ieatcrayonz Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 There are several increased TV exposure leading to increased exploitation of the marketplace (ie more $) that Gonzales is likely considering if this is a major drive for his ultimate decision: 1. The Toronto deal made by the Bills: One of the big deliverables for a well-regarded player is that he likely would become in Buffalo a face which we use as a wedge in the Bills attempts to exploit the Canadian marketplace. If Gonzales were to come to Buffalo, the Bills will almost certainly use him (and deliver him lots of dollars in the process) as a focal point for selling the product in Canada. The Tony Gonzales show on CBC (or some other Canadian network) would be a definite if this trade gets done. This would be the wedge to Gonzales getting deals to be the spokesmodel for auto dealers, pizza places and whatever he chooses in Toronto. 2. Steve Tasker demonstrates what can be done with the Buffalo market. It ain't national press but the money is still green. Could Gonzales make more going to NYC? Maybe and almost certainly, but this does not mean that by going to Buffalo he makes nothing and most important from the Tasker example does not mean that he writes off getting a national network gig. 3. Competition is key and there will be far more competition for endorsements in NYC with the Gints than in Buffalo. If Gonzales goes to NYC he is definitely below Eli Manning in sales and importance and actually behind even non-player Coughlin and a perhaps a host of other Gints who have exploited the marketplace. Gonzalez almost upon arrival is like the 20,000 fans who showed on a winter day at the Ralph for the Buffalo welcomes Bledose gig. He is the top choice for market opportunities with unproven youngsters like Whitner and Edwards being the primary other options. The Buffalo marketplace is smaller by far than NYC but is an open field for Gonzales and with modern electronics and travel reducing distances to near nothing it not only is a jumping off point (as shown by Tasker) to a national spot but is a starting point for trolling the unexploited Canadian dollar. 4. Being Latino is a natural for exploiting a multi-cultural marketplace like Toronto and an embrace of multi-culturalism which has been a centerpiece of the Canadian way going back to its decision to legally include a distinct culture in Quebec. The US is moving this way by force as the population demographics of this country will make the gringos a minority by mid century, but by choosing to primarily exploit the US marketplace Gonzales will choose to pick and choose his opportunities while the current prevailing culture fights to retain a primacy which it will ultimately lose demographically anyway. As far the Canadian market goes exploitation of it will simply involve the difficult task of riding the wave headed in his direction. 5. Nothing succeeds like success. If Gonzalez comes to Buffalo he MAY (and probably will) be part of a team which improves by making the playoffs for the first time. If he goes to the Gints this team at best (and probably won't) reach the same level as last year by winning the SB. It will be a great thing for Gonzales individually if the Jints win the SB. The plugging in of TG into the Shockey spot will be an important addition, but there is simply no way the result will improve with him in place. Brevity sweetie; brevity.

ieatcrayonz Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Does Adelphia own the NFL? Dude. Sarbanes and Oxley were people in congress who made up some BS rule about things having to be reported on time and accurately. It got Adelphia in trouble but it wasn't just about Adelphia. All businesses have to comply and that includes the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murra Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Dude. Sarbanes and Oxley were people in congress who made up some BS rule about things having to be reported on time and accurately.

I'll have you know that I know exactly what the Sarbanes and Oxley Act is, and it has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not the NFL wishes to report a trade on time.

BillsVet Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Dude. I wasn't taking a stab at you. I just have your original back. You went on and on about how TG was selfish and there was no way he would come to a small market. Then somebody comes on with some hearsay about something somebody else made up on a Yahoo message board and you appeared to change your mind. I was just telling you that the 15 pages worth of stuff you wrote proving TG is a glamour seeking moron were right. If you were wrong you would have kept it to a page or two. Peace out. Dude. Sarbanes and Oxley were people in congress who made up some BS rule about things having to be reported on time and accurately. It got Adelphia in trouble but it wasn't just about Adelphia. All businesses have to comply and that includes the NFL. ieatcrayonz you're sounding way too sane in these posts. Tony Gonzalez derangement syndrome it should be called.

"The NFL is a business" is a very common quote which you hear all the time. I could be wrong... but doesn't Sarbanes Oxley only apply to publicly traded companies. Private companies (the NFL) have no obligations to report anything to anybody at anytime (obvious exceptions apply like subpoenas for steroid investigations and such).

scribo Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I don't think it works like that anymore. The Shockey to Saints trade took abut 13 hours to be reported in the media. The teams are only required to report such moves to the league, which does not release the info until it has approved the trade. Often, such as as in the Jason Taylor trade, one or both teams want to energize their fanbase and release the information before the league does. I think this will do the opposite for KC fans, and the Bills may want to keep this from the Chargers for an extra evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude businesses don't get much more public than the NFL. Literally everything about them is reported. They are definitely obliged to report stuff like this promptly and the Feds don't screw around lately with Sox. Sox is short for Sarbanes Oxley. I'm not sure who would be punished but the Feds have a wide net. Goodell, Wilson, the Chiefs owner and possibly Gonzalez would be in trouble, at least potentially.
