The CBA: The NFLPA and Players Are Greedy and/or Dumb

I guess I don't understand the NFLPA's reasoning. The owners are just that, I don't see the employees at Microsoft going to Gates asking for a spare billion. Isn't it Snyder that holds a $600M note for buying the skins, I certainly don't think Arrignton is making any of the debt service payments for Snyder. Where is the player's risk? I don't want to hear injuries, because, if I got paid $1.8M (see below) even for one year, I am sure I could pay off all my debts, buy a nice house, and finish any degree I wanted.

If my math is correct, the salary cap is $95M/team if there are 32 teams that adds up to $3billion in salaries. I have NO sympathy for someone threating management when the average salary is $1.8M ($95M/52 players). I am sure my math is not exact, but I don't think I am too far off.

This is just greed, down and dirty greed. The players need to get their head our of their respective *sses and realize the mathematics of the industry they happen to be a part of. If they push it, there will be the have and have nots, and the average salary will probably go down. Worst, they could have a Hockey type of lockout.

I think this is Upshaw's :smashfrea doing, from the eralier article from the Minnesota center, it seems that NOT all the players know what's going on, or have all the facts. Upshaw has got to have BIG BRASS ONES, to negotiate someonelse's salary with the risk of coming away with nothing.

just my 2 cents (NOT millions)
