Supposing the Niners and the Giants front office had a little
conversation, see. About what a glory it would be to local advertisers
to have Deion in the neighborhood, year round. Good for baseball, good
for football, and good for the boys who buy the big seats high up.
We're hemmed in, say the Niners. Salary cap. Oh, that's too bad, say
the Giants. Oh, hey, you know the cost of turf, and the moving of the
stands, and how football fills the place up with more rowdies, and I
think maybe a direct payment of five million out front would settle all
that. Oh, and, hey, we're good friends with Deion, I think his agent
will be especially receptive to your concerns, what with that rookie
who's dreamin' big and the inside lineman ain't reported yet.
So the Niners settle a hefty claim to the Giants for use and abuse of
Candlestick, if you can imagine, and then a very generous offer to a
journeyman centerfielder comes down from the Giants, and everybody
happy. Prime Time settles in the Bay Area, the Niners have coins for
maybe even a practice squad, and the Giants have what they seem to
appreciate more than wins - cash.
What could possibly be wrong with that? Especially if only what counts
against the cap is reported?
