No More Salary Cap After 2009?
This would not be good at all for the Chiefs IMO. Seems like Upshaw is getting greedy here. The NFL needs a salary cap IMO, and it is one thing that has helped make the strategic side of the NFL worthwhile. Unlike baseball, where the richest teams have a huge advantage. Hopefully this doesn't happen. Here's the link:



Jan. 31 - 7:11 pm et


NFL Players Association director Gene Upshaw expects the owners to terminate the current Collective Bargaining Agreement in November 2008.

That would make 2009 the last year of the salary cap, and 2010 an uncapped year. The players will not agree to another salary cap if it gets to that point. Upshaw says the NFLPA won't hesitate to strike. "This isn't hockey, where the players agreed to a 25 percent pay cut," a defiant Upshaw said. "We're not going to do anything like that."

you are both wrong. the writer's strike was short and has will have little long term effect. As for the NFL, the players union has no teeth...they are just sword rattling because Upshaw has been schooled in the past.

It's going to happen. It only takes 9 teams to poopoo the CBA to revoke it.

QFT. This should have happened along time ago.

I'm curious, what consequences happened from the NHL strike last year? I'm not a hockey fan so I don't pay too close attention.

Did the fan base start disappearing because of the strike? What's the attendance from games this year compared to previous averages?

It was a lockout. The NHL was and is a moneyloser, and will be until they wise up and move most of their teams back to Canada.

I'm not sure about right now (hell, I don't even know when the NHL season begins or ends), but during the season after the lockout all the ESPN people talked about how attendance was fine. The problem was they couldn't get any TV deals. I think the playoffs were on some obscure network I've never heard of.

The cap will die, imo.

The players learned from baseball...

Baseball is healthier than ever (broke attendence rcds, etc) and football players see that.

Fans get screwed, however, with higher prices.

Hockey isn't a fair comparison, because no one cared to begin with.

I'm ready for some new NBC Thursday comedies.

You can tell by the way some teams are approaching FA that they think there won't be a cap....
