Interesting tidbit
 

I know, it's Peter King, but he's just quoting somebody.

[QUOTE]"The uncapped year is definitely going to happen. We're already running short on time. I could be wrong ... But I think at this point in the life of the NFL, the uncapped year is something the owners are willing to take a look at. If that ends up happening, it could really change the landscape of the NFL.''

Mother****er, that's scary as shit.

That will be the end of the NFL as you know it... It will all but die out in cities like KC if that happens...

I will basically treat it like I do baseball and just flat out not give a shit if is played or not...

Will become a full time college fan....

The owners make the players look like they are UNICEF when it comes to greed. **** all of them, starting with Jerry Jones and Daniel Snyder. I can't blame them, though. :(

With that said, the NFL is going to shoot itself in the foot. Once this happens, the big markets will never allow it to go back to the way it was.

College Football fan ONLY will be I if the league goes uncapped for too long.



I hate the low-spending baseball teams just as much as the Yankees and Red Sox.

They are pocketing the luxury tax money and not spending it on players.

**** Baseball.

I can't believe they want to kill the golden goose. Seriously. WTF are these people thinking?

I agree with notorious....

IF this happens, the NFL will die a slow painful baseball type of death... Nobody cares about baseball, so why would anyone care about the NFL if they allow the big market teams to run away with the money...

I am not sure B, The damn TV revenue is more than enough for the smallest of NFL teams to survive with a profit of stupid amounts each year...

I cant see where this will better the game in any way shape...

Reerun, what are you talking about, when did baseball die? I still see it on TV and hear it on the radio 162 goddamn times a year.

I might of been stretching the truth here, but you get the point....

Until there is a fair playing field in baseball, it can go **** itself... IF the NFL goes that way, it will lose fans by the millions...

I am surprised that Goddell's Iron fist badass self isnt forcing a meeting to prevent this from happening...

This could essentually kill the NFL's cash cow... TV ratings will drop dramatically, Sunday Ticket sales will drop...

What good can come from this...

It's a player rep saying that, so I'm not sure how much credence I'd give it. There's going to be a lot of posturing from everybody for a while.

That's fair, I didn't even think of that. '

Well there's still enough interest in baseball for it to sustain itself. Now whether the NFL can follow the same model and survive will remain to be seen, but even with the salary cap there's a still a significant competitive imbalance in the league. I don't know how much not having a salary cap will really change things, especially for teams like the Chiefs who are barely at the salary floor now.

Yeah, I'm guessing this is going to be like the 2002 baseball deal where everyone was saying over and over a strike was imminent, and then at the 11th hour a deal miraculously got done.

Chiefs are were they are due to renovations right?

Yeah, I know that theory is out there, that Clark was just cheaping out because of all his own money he's putting into them. He'd sure as hell better be willing to spend once those Horizon level luxury boxes open up...unless he wants them sitting empty.
