Column: In the NFL, it always comes down to the bottom line
Frank Clark will be making big bucks next season in the NFL.
Kareem Hunt gets a shot at redemption.
That video of Jeffery Simmons will be forgiven.

With the NFL — and, really, everything in life — it always comes down to the bottom line. The owners are simply working the numbers, deducing that whatever baggage the aforementioned rogues bring to a franchise's reputation are more than offset by their stellar ability on the playing field.
The Venn diagram goes something like this:
More wins lead to more fans.
More fans mean more dollars.
More dollars make owners even richer.
