The NBA owners have a point to. With what happened in Miami, I know that they will have a hard cap, which will definitely mean the end of the big three there.

i can see their argument for a hard cap, plus it would make things more competitive perhaps. as it is now, the soft cap will always favor larger markets because that's who is going to be able to afford the luxury tax.

Indeed. What's sad to me is that the NFL is the most popular sport in the US, yet the players are crying broke. Stop giving all of these outlandish contracts to these damn rookies.

Baseball is stupid, but how is it set up?

The NFL lockout won't happen, too many people want money and there will be an agreement reached. It'll be easier than the NBA to reach as none of them make quite as much as the NBA players. No one makes 22 million a year or whatever the cap is. You see some people making 20-40 million a year but that includes bonuses and endorsements, which some people make a dick load off of.

Regardless, they like their money too much, well a lot of them. A lot of them like the game too much. Players like Peyton Manning aren't going to stop playing because they couldn't get 5 million dollars more in their next contract. In fact, he'll get offered more money and he'll re-sign because he already intended on it even if he wasn't offered more money. I think there are lot more classy players and the amount of them are going to influence other players to stick around. You have people like Pittsburg's James Harrison who has threatened to retire if he keeps getting fined or people like Albert Haynesworth who get paid a dick load and don't do dick, but they stick out more than the numbers of classy players who will influence the majority to stick with the game. You'll lose the f****ts, keep the real players.
