... well, not really use, but a damn sight better than another story about sod or autographs. For the people (Rats excluded obviously) who barely pay attention to the important matters like this (which then relegates coverage to the agate type if at all) I would please beg that you stop following football. For my sake.

And apologies since its from Florio:


According to Liz Mullen of SportsBusiness Daily, the NFLPA made a concession regarding the revenue split between the league and the players in December. The union first revealed the proposal last week.

The proposal gives the owners more credit for investments in the game, like stadium construction. It also seeks continuation of the league’s supplemental revenue sharing plan, with adjustments aimed at making the plan more acceptable to the high-revenue teams that routinely grouse about having to share the fruits of their entrepreneurial endeavors with franchises not willing to spend money in order to make money.

... ...

The proposal also adjusts the salary cap in a way that creates incentives to invest in stadiums and other revenue-generating activities.

Odd that the owner's hammer was making the public case for the players wanting a lockout just last week.

What about teams that spend money to lose money?
