So does he honestly think he can extort the money with the threat of moving the team?

As much as I think JR is a POS, I think extortion is a bit strong.

I think of it as extortion every time it happens…you’re right, it’s not a JR thing *

They'll get no extra revenue on the lakefront, that's for sure
