 Buffalo Bills
Sunday night, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was very coy about his feelings regarding the next collective bargaining agreement. Having just been fined by the NFL for making statements about another team’s financial viability, Jones should be coy about his feelings regarding any new agreement. However, Jones was seemingly very upfront about how...

That's why last year I said that FOOTBAlL will suspend operations if there is a hint of a strike. The owners like Jones will end up with their own league and leave the majority of the other teams to form their own version of same. A 2 tiered league.
Why Jones and his ilk want to make small market teams with a long tradition, i.e. Buffalo, Green Bay, etc. a thing of the past is sad.
Talk about ruining a good goose laying golden eggs thing !?!

I had this very same conversation with cowgirl yesterday. I emphatically told her that Jerry Jones, in no uncertain terms, was bringing about the end of the NFL as we know it. He is literally driving this sport to a point that requires billions and not millions to be able to compete. What's the point of having a salary cap if it's so high that only 4 or 5 owners can even reach it?

College players without having played a single down in the NFL are driving salaries into the stratosphere and owners like Jerry Skeletor are feeding the flames and "growing the pie." Soon every seat with be filled with a coporate jagoff in a three piece suit and homefield advantage will mean nothing as stadiums become more 'civilized' and 'proper'.

Nice article BuySomeBoys !

There are provisions against the nose picking Jones and mighty mite Synder.

If no agreement is reached and 2010 is an uncapped season, it's not going to be the spending free for all that many people think. Provisions under the current CBA state that in the event of an uncapped season, the number of seasons required to become an unrestricted free agent goes to six. Another provision states that each club will be able to use a Transition Tag on any of their unrestricted free agents, which works a lot like the franchise tag. These two provisions will severely cut down the number of free agents available in 2010. So don't look for the Cowboys or Redskins to sign 27 Pro Bowlers.

There are other provisions that I read about, I'm trying to find them....
