It's not much of a difference, but the NFLPA was the group trying to keep the salary cap up, again, so that DSmith didn't lose his job (IMO). The NFL, and Mara, saw an opportunity to smack the Skins and Cowboys, and (again IMO), didn't think it through, because the NFLPA were already coming hat in hand asking for Salary cap adjustments. It's like a shady car dealer changing the interest once the deal is all but done.

Your right. but honestly it really doesn't matter how we got to this point. I think it's just funny how Goodell and Mara and possibly what other teams brought the complaint to them to begin with, have done this to themselves. Nothing like shooting yourself in the foot. Nothing like thinking your all in control and smug and have to realize later you probably were better off not doing anything about it to begin with.
