Honestly, seems like a maximum headline that in the end will have minimum effect. Between some restructures, and pushing the bulk of the hit to next year when the cap presumably will go up a bit. Not great, but BA will certainly be able to work with it I imagine.

Yeah, and they had to have known the possibility of getting pinched was there. I'm sure all they're doing is switching to plan B.

Tell Wilbon that I have something in my pants that he can kiss.

Exactly what it is. Even more sour about it that 2 years have passed, and the douche that took all that money is a fat lazy phuck no longer playing for the B&G. This whole situation makes me f'in sick. Im gonna go fart in Goodells general direction. F'ckin czar.

[quote=JWsleep;896364]So the cheaper owners finally found a way to take some skin off of Danny and Jerry. **** it.

I'm with Matty: every time the league or the press or whoever try to stop us from spending lots of money, we find a way to do it. We have the most creative money people in the biz. We'll find a way to get ours. This is the one thing we've been consistently good at over the last decade.

Wonder how the next owners meeting is going to go?[/quote]

Ya, but ask yourself. Its these creative people that, according to the CBA and NFL policy, have violated no actual law or rule, but are being basically punished for doing what they do, and doing it well. How long until our guys bail us out of the situation this year, and then another punishment comes down for some BS that was never on paper directly in relation to this situation?

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.

Another thing, when the cap numbers go up a couple mil next year, are they going to adjust what we put off until next year for inflation, or keep it as a dead percentage wise of the cap numbers as it counts against the cap this year?

this crap by Goodell and the rest of the owners is complete and utter bullshit. It was a pact or agreement? its an uncapped year!!! There is nothing in writing!!! effing bull, I would press to get this overturned immediately, get the arbitrators together today...this is just insane. I dont care we still have whatever cap room, its the principal that there was NOTHING in writing, no written contractual agreement. effing Goodell is like Vladamir effing Putin, changing and making rules up as he goes. No one in the league should be happy with this, most of all the players

Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space
 

So the best thing/comparison I can think of is this:

Your parents say to you "John, we're sending you to the grocery store to go get our dinner tonight, here's $40 go make dinner." Then an hour before you leave for the store they say "Scratch that John we're giving up $10 to go get dinner tonight, better start looking at the clearance and on sale items." We're going to have to get cheap FA's now, our 'dinner' may not taste as great, but at least we can eat and it could still be good depending on what you get!
