Kansas City Chiefs Will Be On Primetime In 2012 Season

by Joel Thorman on Feb 3, 2012 11:23 AM CST

The Kansas City Chiefs will be on primetime in the 2012 season.

And so will every other team.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said at his annual Super Bowl press conference that the NFL Network Thursday Night Football package is expanding to 13 games -- from Week 2 to Week 15.

He also said every team would get a primetime game in the 2012 season. Whether it's Sunday night, Monday night or Thursday night, the Chiefs will be on primetime.

The NFL schedule is expected to be released sometime in April.

This means that our Chiefs will be on primetime once again, which is a good thing (obviously). The Chiefs struggled in 2011 so they probably would not have been a primetime priority for the league if the schedule were done the way it's usually done.

I'm biased but Arrowhead Stadium in primetime is, as Rudy's dad once said of Notre Dame's stadium, the most beautiful thing these eyes have ever seen.

I hate that with such a vengence

If the NFL is not going to offer a means of watching their games online regularly (NBC does it well, including the upcoming SB), then they need to quit this. This isn’t “piracy” in the same way that torrents of movies are piracy. People are trying to watch their live-broadcasted games. They are consuming the NFL’s content. The see all of the commercials. No advertising dollars are lost. In fact, more people are seeing the games AND the ads because of these so-called “pirated” streams. The idea that the NFL is somehow losing money by me watching Chiefs games streamed on the internet while living in NJ is outrageous. This stuff is precisely what allows me to remain a devoted fan. Without online streams, I’d have NO access to Chiefs games. I’ve never seen a corporation (the NFL) try so hard to prevent people from genuinely consuming their content.

Yep.

Instead of trying to meet the demand, they go after the supply. That’s never worked and never will. Fortunately, there are still options out there, and probably more will spring up. Because, as I said, there is still demand not being met in legitimate ways.

Their SHOULD be an option for people to buy Sunday Ticket, ideally by team, online instead of just through the satellite provider.

You CAN buy it online.

But not for just one team. Costs something like $400 to stream it. No thanks, especially after hearing all the complaints about their feeds.

Although interestingly enough he reported earned interest income from accounts in Caymen Islands and Switzerland

with the exception of <$2000 of earned interest on a swiss account that was closed within the first month of the tax year and thus forgotten. Considerably smaller underreported income than the secretary of the treasury Tim Geithner while he was going through his confirmation hearings in 2009.

Only because there is a very limited financial comprehension among the general population

Qualified dividends and long term capital gains are taxed at the 15% rate in part because they’re already taxed at the 35% corporate rate. If you’re a W-2 employee, you get paid out of revenue, not profit. If you’re a shareholder, you get paid out of profit alone (whether as a dividend or as a bump in shareholder equity and resulting stock price).

So if you’re a single person making $100,000 per year and claiming only the standard $6,500 deduction (rare, but for using this for simplicity), your taxable income is $93,500, and you’ll pay $19,797, or about 21% effective tax rate on federal income tax.

But if you’re the sole stockholder in a corporation, in order to make that same after tax income of $73,703, you need to make over $125,000 in profit:
$125,000 * 35% corporate income tax = $43750
125,000-43750 = 81250 paid as dividend
81250 * 15% dividend tax = 12187.5
81250-12187.5 = $69,062 after corporate and dividend tax

effective tax rate = (125,000-69,062)/125,000 = 44.75%

actually, my calculation in this example is slightly off because I forgot that the corporate tax doesn't hit 35% until you get over $100k, but it's still higher than individual income tax rates and the same principal applies

I love the irony of Lithgow doing the voice since he was clearly the best serial killer ever featured on a season of Dexter.

I have plenty of reasons not to vote for Romney (his healthcare bill, his support for the imperial presidency, the fact that he is pretty much a white version of Obama {who himself was a black version of W} etc. etc.). His good fortune in life and his income are not those reasons. Although, Newt and Santorum are hardly compelling alternatives, and if a gun was put to my head and I was forced to decide between Mitt, Newt, Santorum, and Obama, I’d ask for a last meal and a final phone call to tell my wife I love her.

I understand, he's simply taking advantage of the laws as they currently stand right now

and it’s not that I mind so much that he’s insanely wealthy and earns more in a couple of days than many earn in a year or more … rather, his cavalier attitude that “the poor have a safety net” and don’t matter

hate to tellya, Mitt … I’m intelligent, well educated, healthy and not ready to retire (and in fact not old enough to retire) but I still can’t get a job … that translates to me being dirt poor, and guess what, Mitt? there’s no safety net for me right now … none

more to the point, I don’t WANT a “safety net” … I want a damned JOB … is that so hard to comprehend? because if it is, then it’s not anyone I want “running” the country

His stated focus is on expanding the middle class

Now, there isn’t a universally recognized definition of middle class, but you’re a teacher no? Although not the highest paid field, the average teacher salary in Colorado is ~$44k (I’d recommend you move to Cali, that’s starting pay in a lot of our districts). That would be considered around about middle class for a single person. So even if you’re not earning that right now, his focus is on expanding and getting people back into the middle class, so his focus is on helping you (and one would think that his defense of the notion of a safety net would at least be welcome news to a progressive).

He isn’t talking about removing the safety net, but rather making sure it doesn’t become a hammock so that the people that fell out of the middle class can get back in it. Now, whether his overall policy prescription is capable of that is another issue. It may be a marginal improvement over the present, but absent serious reforms to entitlement spending which he has been AWOL on, I doubt he’d be as effective as he thinks.

what gets me is even when Obama has had the rare decent idea and tried to do something, he's been blocked by the right

the only way to “fix” it is to plow money back into America … can’t do that when it’s going to overseas investments (ex: CocaCola and $4 Bil to China)

so sure, let’s park money offshore and earn low-tax interest and then roll it over elsewhere for the good of the company and the stockholders, I get that … but it doesn’t help the 10 Million here needing jobs

by upamtn on Feb 3, 2012 1:22 PM CST up reply actions

CocaCola, and a lot of other MNCs make a considerable amount of money overseas

If anything, lowering domestic corporate tax rates would be a better way to entice them to repatriate those profits here, where they could be taxed. And you could try and make the lowering of the corporate tax rate somewhat offset through corresponding increases in the qualified dividend and capital gains rates (although I wouldn’t suggest a percent for percent trade off, as that would sap investment somewhat and have negative overall effects).

As for actual infrastructure investments abroad, if they wish to grow their market in a foreign country, given the cost of freight and weight of liquids, they have to establish operations within that foreign jurisdiction. They’ve saturated the American market, and if anything the switch over to health conscience choices domestically makes the US a less attractive market for investment of their primary product line.

This amounts, in effect, to a rigged system

Corporations are, by definition, legally seperate entities from their shareholders. Mitt Romney’s personal wealth is not at risk if a corporation he owns a stake in goes under (generally speaking).

Since they are legally seperate, the fact that Coporation X already paid taxes on an income should not have bearing on Romney’s tax situation. If a person is the sole shareholder in a coorporation that is only posting a $50,000 profit, than he should be taxed at a lower rate. When his profits are in the tens of millions, he should be taxed in a higher income bracket.

The general result of this is a system

where those rich enough to get all of their income from returns on investments don’t get as much of their income eaten up by taxes, and their wealth grows faster than those who get most of their income from actually working.

If you’re MItt Romney and you’re born into millions, it’s that much easier to make millions more. If you’re born lower middle class, no matter how hard you work, you’re probably still going to struggle to retire comfortably, put you kids through college, and you’re almost certainly going to be one medical disaster away from bankruptcy.

Corporations being a legally separate entity has bearing on the dicussion.

An investor is risking whatever money they are placing into that corporation, no more than what they place into it (putting aside options trades for the time being), but they are risking what they put into it nonetheless.

As for the tax treatment, the most critical thing to keep in mind is that money is a fungible commodity, and by extension so are taxes. If you need to earn >$130,000 pre-tax to keep $75,000 post tax, then it doesn’t matter what the percentage split between the corporate level and the dividend income level, the effective tax rate is the same.

Goodell is a total idiot. He is doing nothing but screwing up constantly, and coasting on the leagues popularity that was a result of Paul Tagliabue. Just like with the 18 game schedule debacle, he doesn’t seem to get that less=more. It doesn’t dawn on thim that part of the reason NFL fans are so rabid about the sport is because the regular season is only 17 weeks, and the longer offseason, compared to the other big sports, means that people have to wait longer for it, and that drives up the anticipation. In addition, the fewer days a week that it’s on means the more likelyhood that people are going to watch because they’ve been waiting for almost a full week. But if you start trying to cram football down our throats on more days during the week, then there’s a higher chance of overkill and for people to get burned out on the sport.

I don't agree with this.

Most NFL fans are willing to watch most games, as long as they’re competitive. So by having more primetime games, you’re allowing people to watch more football. Football isn’t close to being over-saturated.
