[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 814185"] I did find it a little surprising those interview tapes were available, I guess to any FO scheduling an interview. If they didn't come from [B][I]job[/I][/B] interviews I can't think of what other kinds of interviews there would have been. Like the league calling guys in for mock interviews for teams' future reference? That strikes me as too goofy even for the NFL. There are other areas of pooled cooperation beyond revenue sharing and the Combine that may surprise the more causual fan. Here a couple that immediately come to mind: [LIST] [*]When owners build new stadiums they are frequently financed in part by "the league". The league is a pass-through entity that collects and distributes revenue. It doen's have its own money to lend. What that means is the other owners are indirectly lending money to that owner or backing a loan from a third party to that other owner.
