Quick: when you think of John Middleton, what do you think of?
Before this weekend, was it “reluctance to go over the luxury tax”? Because if you’re like a lot of other people that follow the team, that’s probably what first sprang to mind since Middleton became the majority owner of the team. It’s been a running joke for a few years now, how the owner that showed up with the adjective “billionaire” behind his name in a Google search wouldn’t spend a few million in luxury tax expenses to possibly make that million back in playoff revenue at a few home gates.
