Frankly, I thought we'd definitely win until I saw that.

I don't think the 29 vote count should reflect as strongly as you are giving it. First only 6 owners would need to be swayed on any future issue, pretty sure that JJ and DS could sway a few if they really wanted to. Second, this was an after the fact vote where every voter had something to gain-extra cap space. Third, the league needed a strong vote to go before the arbitrator, and there was no compelling reason to vote against it since arbitration papers were already filed.

Bottomline 6 votes is not an impossible hurdle if blatant misuse is being applied by the commissioner or exec committee.
