Wellington Mara = NFL Success

Yesterday the Giant's lost their senior owner who ran the team since he was a teenager. That by itself is absolutely amazing! Also, this man is probably the SOLE reason the NFL is at the top of professional sports today. He had the ingenious idea to share the revenues he earned in the largest television market for over 40 years with teams who could not compete if this wasn't in place. I think someone else from the Big Apple should have followed Mr. Mara's footsteps and we might see the Royals and Pirates actually competing in MLB. Not only did Mr. Mara pump money into the league he also was a key decision maker in almost all of the rules and philisophies the league has in place today. Many of us might not have heard of this man before, but we should all take a minute today to say THANK YOU!
