I take issue with the $30m figure
Are we counting not re-signing Greg Maddux as cutting? Because I don’t.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

I think they just added up last year’s salaries and this year’s salaries. This year its around $40M and last year it was around $70M

+$6m for Edmonds
I’m glad that we didn’t do that again.

did we get any kind of fruit basket from the Cubs for paying Edmonds to play for them?

Nope
Just the $6m one we sent to Chicago. Our only revenge was the fact that he was cut from a team that lost 99 games, we thought Paul McAnulty was more athletic, etc.

I think that was part of the reason for doing it (aside from the obvious ownership issues)
If an extra $30 million doesn’t get you much better or more entertaining then why spend it?

That was something I remember Moores saying.
Also this team does look pretty different to me. It looks better.
I want to thank the good Lord for making me a Philip Rivers fan.
