Stupidity.

Half of their top-twelve paid players are homegrown. The top three on that list are playing in their 16th season together, which has never been done before in any professional sport. Is it stupidity that they have paid good money to keep them (or in one case, get him back), or stupidity that they spend a significant amount of the revenues they earn on free agents?
