There are a lot of strange things that come across one’s desk during the offseason (and the early days of training camp) and many of them are pretty easy to dismiss. But sometimes, what might normally be chuckled at and then forgotten about ... an article about the Super Bowl one day becoming a Pay-Per-View event, for instance ... sometimes these things stick.
In this case, the reason it sticks is because the person who brought up the somewhat-outlandish idea is John Skipper.
For those who don’t know, John Skipper is the former “Numero Uno” at ESPN and has been referred to as “the most powerful man in sports” on more than one occasion.
