The Profootballtalk website does a much better job of keeping up with all NFL happenings than I can. One of the stories that they cover is the potential labour unrest in the NFL come 2011. What I'm more concerned about is the potential uncapped year in 2010 and what it might mean for my favourt sport.
For those who aren't aware, the NFL has a "hard" salary cap. That means that team can only spend so much on salaries each year. This ensures that you don't have a system like baseball, where a few teams buy up all the top players. Every fan has a resonable dream of his or her team compeeting for the Super Bowl. The current labour deal ends in 2011 and 2010 is scheduled to be an uncapped year. The union has said if things get to that point, no salary cap would be accepted in the future. To me, this has the potential to spoil the goose that laid the golden egg. I really hope cooler heads prevail and they get a new deal worked out before 2010.
