I'm not saying owners should spin off billions of profit per year, but they're entitled to a reasonable profit.

Irsay of the Colts has been complaining about this, as have others from time to time. I don't pretend to know nearly enough about what revenue the NFL teams do and don't share, or their bottom lines, to say whether he is exaggerating his problems. I do understand, however, why Kraft and Jerry Jones get pissed at him for not pursuing revenue-creating opportunities when, for example, the Patriots play in "Gillette Stadium" and the Bills play in "Ralph Wilson Stadium".

They mainly need to fix a couple of things:
1. Revenue sharing- Big teams don't want to split their revenues with small teams. IMO instead of the the salary cap being based on total football revenue it should be based on an amount that allows the smaller market teams to still remain profitable. 2. Rookie contracts- self explanatory Right now players get 59% of total revenues. That's way too much IMO. Personally I hope the owners lock them out. The spoiled bastards can go play in canada, arena league, or be happy with how much the NFL overpays them based on what they're worth elsewhere.

Because the Owners not paying their big name players wont make them lose money in the end. Making a few million profit is better then 0 profit at all or losing money. Owners just will not lock them out for to long. No one is going to go see arena league players play in a 80,000 seat stadium. Not going to happen. No way in hell i pay for Sunday ticket to watch scrubs play.
Anyways, adding a 17 game sounds cool. I wouldnt mind an extra game. |

They could bring in replacement players and still make money. NFL fans root for teams moreso than players. NFL players also don't have the balls to stick with a work stoppage anyway. Back in '87 most of them were crossing picket lines after 3 weeks. That was over 20 years ago. Imagine how these spoiled rotten bastards of today would act after a week without a game check. They'd be begging to come back after a week.
