Redskins, Cowboys could go “nuclear” over cap mess

So really it's just bickering about the fact that the league has a strong oversight mechanism.

In most cases that mechanism works fine, simply because it is a small group and everyone needs to parlay support at one point in time. No big deal, and the 3/4's is a super majority needed to sustain any type of decision. If something else were to come before them in that circle, that didn't have an already filed arbitration brief, I am certain that the vote would be much less unanimous. I think the fact that even the Saints and Raiders approved it, when they were somewhat punished, shows that there was more at play than just the merits of the case.

I think we are all conditioned to assume either the Redskins will screw this up somehow, or the NFL will bring the hammer down as has been the case recently. I think you are right and we select RG3 2nd overall with zero issues, but there is always going to be that lingering doubt up until the second after we draft our player at number 2.
