SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The National Football League will cut about 150 league jobs, or about 14% of its staff, over the next 60 days to cut costs in response to the recession, according to media reports Tuesday. The layoffs will not affect individual teams, which are controlled by the clubs, but will affect the NFL's New York City headquarters; NFL Films in Mount Laurel, N.J.; and NFL Network and NFL.com based in Los Angeles.

I bet Fox is crapping a brick sideways with the potential loss of SB commercials at a primo price. They seem to get more expensive every year, but I bet this year they have a hard time either getting the price they want, or filling all the spots for the major bucks time slots.

Can they fire the guy who reviews an interception, sees that it's an interception, and then decides NO ONE CAUGHT THE BALL??

Every industry is being effected by the recession. That is why we shouldn't be bailing out every group that sticks their damn hand out.

In cost cutting measures during this economy the denver broncos have decided to not use any running backs and just pass the ball every down.

It sure would lower the insurance premiums!

Purely symbolic.
Most professionall sports are the ultimate bubble. It's becoming the sports of the elite. The NFL is incresingly going to cable and virtual PPV. In fact, they are attempting to take over broadcasting alltogether.

Hey Tombstone,
Forgive my ignorance, but can you explain why Sabol = Satan? I have seen others on the Mane bash him and I sincerely don't know where the hate comes from.
Thanks, dude!!

Goes to show how on top of things Bowlen really is. Despite all the crap he took around here because many believed he was needlessly pinching pennies at the expense of employees' lives, he saw all this coming and made his moves over the summer.
The current market is clearly affecting everyone.

Recessions are inevitable. They are needed to help cut the dead weight and keep business strong. The only problem is it really sucks if you are the dead weight.

I'm sure Roger Goodell, Gene Washington, Mike Pareira, et al were MORE than willing to forego their bonuses so these folks could remain employed for the holidays, no? Oh.

It's always better when other people forgo their bonuses. That way I get to keep my money.
