(the NFL sharing a much higher %, has a hard limit and team totals are reasonable compared to the shared profit and financial standings of even the small market teams).

the red sox, like i said, are the only competitive club to the yankees, and i wouldn't bother saying anything if there were more clubs closer to the yankees payroll, but there aren't and there haven't been... if they could beat equal monied clubs night in and night out, that'd be fine by me... but if you start an NFL game where one team always starts 27 points behind... well, that's not exactly exciting/worthwhile/fair...

Uhhh yeah I did notice that. You'd have to be real stupid to not notice that. All I'm trying to say is, the Redskins like the Yankees have an owner who's committed to winning and will spend as much as he can to win. You can't appreciate that?

Look man, I respect your opinion and I'll leave it alone. All I want is for my Redskins to start winning and my Yanks to continue winning. I'm just a fan, thats it. I'm no expert in payrolls or economies or profit-sharing. That's the way the league is set up. And it doesn't look like it's changing anytime soon.
