There's a real problem in Pittsburgh. They just don't have the cash, which is why their offensive line and running backs suck. The Rooney's have been contemplating selling the team, which would be bad for the NFL but good (maybe) for the Steelers.
It's all about money. And Jerry Jones is INTENT on making it a HUGE issue and has called-out Kansas City specifically in interviews.
The same thing happened in MLB, too. I detailed Steinbrenner's unhappiness with the Royals before and now they've spent $70 million as opposed to $30 million.
Small market subsidies piss these guys OFF.

I get all that, but I do think it is a much more even playing field than most sports. I hadn't heard about Rooney considering selling the team though, that's the first I've heard about that.
Admittedly, I am not as versed in the salary cap/CBA as I could be. That's why I am asking questions and engaging in this discussion.
So, you and Hamas can take more shots at me if that makes you feel better, but this has been informative. I wasn't exactly sure how the suite money worked. I knew teams with suites had an advantage, but wasn't sure exactly what it was.
