10) Judging from their subway ads, the Jets are giving out free eye black to every man, woman and child who come to the games

9) The Jaguars super extra promise not to move to Los Angeles in the middle of a game

8) With PSL purchase, the Giants will give complimentary visitation rights to Plaxico Burress

7) Tampa is telling its season ticket base that if they don't fill the stadium, they are going back to the original jerseys

6) The Lions are running, for a limited time, a buy one season ticket, get the Silverdome free offer

5) The Rams are threatening their fan base with the return of Brenda Warner, complete with the return of the old Brenda's look

4) Kansas City has promised its fan base that, if they buy season tickets, they'll try very, very hard to not suck anymore

3) The Chargers are pledging that any fan that has their house burn down in the periodic wildfires will get to stay in their stadium as an emergency evacuation area, since that worked for the Saints

2) Arizona says that if enough people retain their season tickets, they'll actually get a quarterback next year
