mlmdub130 03-12-2012, 06:57 PM Don't waste your hate on him, he's an entertainer. Once a writer becomes a TV personality quit looking at them as a journalist. He says things that get a reaction and is paid well for it. Rule of thumb, opinions shared on any show where media is interviewing media (First Take, Around The Horn, PTI, most sports talk radio, etc) doesn't hold any weight past the commercial break.
i feel my hate on him isn't wasted, he's a tool. over!! rated!!
JWsleep 03-12-2012, 06:57 PM Wilbon doesn't like the skins and the skins don't like Wilbon. Old news--but **** em again.
Probably the biggest dick thing about this is the timing: the DAY before FA starts. That's just to **** with us and the cowroids.
But given that we knew we pissed people off by dumping the AH and DH money, I am sure we're ready for this. Not that we're Ok with it, but we've got contingencies. Atogwe and others are getting their calls, people are being asked about restructuring, clever contracts are being drawn up for our target FAs, etc.
This will cost us a player or two, no doubt, which is ****ed up. But this part of the CBA was aimed at Danny and Jerry and the trap is being sprung now. Bet Danny and Jerry are getting a little tired of carrying some of the weaker franchises with their money.
(Oh, and yeah: AH was the worst thing EVER. This is penance for signing that douche. Pay the fine and move on.)

The @NFL doesn't say in the statement they released that the #Redskins can't appeal, which I have to think Dan/Bruce/Mike will try & do

Officials of the league and the NFL Players Association agreed to the reduction in the salary cap for the two teams in deliberations over the past week, said the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic.
The union agreed to the resolution reluctantly, the person said. Union officials believe that neither team did anything wrong or attempted to circumvent the salary cap. But the union acquiesced to the decision because the league would have lowered the salary cap for all 32 teams if it did not.
Instead, the salary cap space taken from the Redskins and Cowboys was redistributed among other NFL teams. The salary cap for next season was set at $120.6 million per team.
The "officials of the league". Hmmm. Guess they're not skins or cowboys!

case and point, guys a douche, him not backing down on his taylor comments are what really did it for me. the guy thinks he knows everything.
GMScud 03-12-2012, 07:06 PM Wow, I can't believe this thread has nearly 200 posts already.
I'm sure it's been said, but I'm really miffed that there wasn't any specific rule that was broken. We lose $36M because we violated an "understanding?" Don't all deals have to be approved by the league? So the league approves these deals then drops a bomb on us for it?

Ridiculous... I expect a shit storm coming the NFL's way.
GMScud 03-12-2012, 07:09 PM This is such cut and dry collusion, it's pretty preposterous.
I don't like Roger Goodell one bit.

has anyone actually seen or heard of the salary cap being reduced? i thought it was acutally up from last year? what were they going to reduce the salary cap to if the owners weren't forced into this deal?
