Setting how much he pays his workers! Not having anyone like Government come in and set pay rates! If the players wanted to set up thier own league and it is good then it will beat out the owners! More power to them!!!

#1. If it wasn't for the players, there wouldn't be football games worth watching.

#2. The owners put their asses on the line? What NFL owner hasn't made bundles on the acquisition of a team?

#3. I'm not sure how the whole law thing comes into play.

All I am saying is I just haven't taken a side in this fight. All sides are being greedy. I don't care who "wins."

Not about winning it's about both sides getting a fair contract so we can watch football!

Exactly. I care less about what side feels vindicated by the outcome of the negotiations. All I care about is watching football and knowing what players we will have and what players we will lose.

Question......If the players get a higher % of the cap dose that set the cap? Why dose the NFL just make the cap this season 100 mill...why is it set at 94.5? Who set that that cap if no CBA is done?

The old (current) CBA does not expire until after the 2007 season.
