Regressing Packers and what it means with no salary cap

[Cheesehead Craig]

Look, the yankees spent 66 million more than any other team and won the world series. In football as things trickle through the system you will have about 6 teams each year that might win a superbowl. All the others will fall by the wayside and become nothing but the royals and brewers...if the stars align right they might peak at the playoffs once every 10 years and get crushed in the first round.

That's why the players union doesn't want an uncapped league. Some guys will get paid, and paid a lot. But the rest of the guys who are used to millions of dollars won't get that money again and there will be a huge call to get the cap back for the players. The owners really are sitting in a nice place. They can just stall and make the players union start to sweat it out.

Uncapped NFL football with continued revenue sharing won't be all that different from what it is today. If revenue sharing goes away, or changes dramatically, the league will be much different.

I think television and marketing/licensing revenue are league contracts that will stay in place. Local revenue sharing is a goner if 2011 gets played as its tied to the CBA. If they play, the Owners will try to impose work rules that will not include 59.2 % of Total Revenue and nor (I believe) local revenue sharing.

But I agree with Patler, local revenue, tickets (60/40 split) and local TV/radio deals in the NFL pale in comparison to the TV contracts. So the disparity will not be as great as in MLB, where a significant chuck of revenue is local and not league wide deals.

ie - if Jerry Jones gets his way.

Yes: Revenue sharing >>> Cap.

To play devil's advocate: Without a cap, the incentive to find creative ways around the revenue sharing increases. The disparity between teams increases...reducing the effectiveness of the revenue sharing and increasing the differences in team salaries.

...and then there was the Cubs.

Don't you mean every 26 years
