Redskins, Cowboys could go “nuclear” over cap mess

That doesn't make very good, logical, business sense though. Not saying that isn't the case at all, but what would stop teams from ganging up on a team and stripping them of salary any time they want for any reason, good, bad, or ugly? There HAS to be some safety net in place to keep teams from frivolous acts?

Which is what the Arbitrator is for then there is filing suit against 30 owners.

I don't disagree...and I have said as much either earlier in this thread or in the original thread on this topic. What "makes sense" and is "fair" though is irrelevant. Here we are in the middle of getting screwed in a way that isn't fair and doesn't make much sense at all. The owners have given us lemons. Right now we are slowly approaching the decision point between making lemonade or finding some grenades and painting them like lemons and giving them back to the other owners.

Why? It's their league. You and I and everyone else can WANT there to be. We can HOPE that someone comes to their senses and puts an end to this idiocy but hopes and wants mean nothing in this case.
