One of guys on that Packer site I visit posted a link to a three part article about the CBA situation that takes a perspective I haven't heard before.
A very different perspective. It's basically about the CBA, NFL revenue sharing, salary caps and salary minimums and how they're calculated, what parts of team income don't go into the revenue sharing pool, and Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder among others.
Well, not so much Snyder but a lot on Jones, and a few others. Jones because it's a Cowboy's blog. Don't freak out, the Packer fans hate the Cowbums as much as we do but the writer has no love for the Jerruh and the article isn't a Cowboy-biased rant, if anything, it's close to the opposite. It's about large market NFL franchises versus small market franchises and what the author sees as a "broken" revenue sharing system which he also sees as the big issue in the whole CBA situation.
I haven't come to any conclusions about it yet myself-still gnawing on it and looking for more info-even though the articles have plenty of facts and figures-it's a perspective I hadn't really thought of.
It is a very interesting read in any case.
