Edwards is one of the sharpest guys I ever worked with. He knew contracts he was dealing with inside out, and was a hard-ass negotiator.
But he likes money and a playoff round or two every year makes up for a whole year of just meeting expenses. A cup would be great but I think he generally wants to have a team that (a) draws ordinary fans (as opposed to more focused ones like on this board) and (b) wants the revenue from POs.
