The 'nuclear option' always seemed like a bluff to me anyways... due to exactly what you just said. While the penalty had a real impact on the team for 2 years, there's no long run impact to the owners of the teams...

Yeah, I don't think the Redskins ever talked about going nuclear, as far as I remember it was mostly the fans calling for that, and the media explaining what it would be.
