Obv. But either way, Baseball has become a circus. You can't hear the words "Major League Baseball" without hearing "steriods" "Clemens" or "Bonds" in the same sentence anymore. It's sickening. I mean, it's not like I really like the game that much in the first place. I also think it's insulting that it's STILL "Americas Favorite Pastime" even though we all know damn good and well it's the NFL and not the MLB.

I say, take down the MLB and add 10 more teams to the NFL. lol

As a Redskin fan, i love it we have a owner that would buy everything and we would win at least 10 superbowls, as a NFL fan, no the salary cap must stay to ensure equality among all teams big & small market (but allow me to dream for a minute owner who loves to spend money on players, at least 10 SB)

On one hand...it would be great to see guys stick with a team over the course of a career, creating teams with identities and players a person can identify as being "true Redskins." On the other hand, consistent competition would literally go out the window league-wide.

Re: NFL uncapped -- Good or bad in your eyes?

as a skins fan, i'd love it. for at least a year or two. danny boy could finally buy that lombardi he's had his eye on. but it would send the game as a whole on a downward spiral. so, ultimately, no good.

i hate seeing my skins struggle year after year after year. but i wouldn't take our competitiveness at the expense of the competitiveness of the league as a whole. that would just cheapen any wins that we may get. i'd much rather see ol danny jus get his act together and BUILD a team from the ground up which he SEEMS to be attempting to do now.

Well, I'm definitely in the minority on this one. I hate parity and crave David versus Goliath matchups. Go Washington Uncaps!

Does this mean all free agent contracts should end in 2011? If I'm a FA I wouldn't want a contract extention beyond a non-capped year, I think I'd prefer to wait.

Re: NFL uncapped -- Good or bad in your eyes?

Guys the MLB is not that bad in general. I mean I live in Miami and I know the Marlins suck but I'll still love them until the day I die. They proved a cap is not the ULTIMATE decider they won the WS in 97 and 03. It also showed with the Rockies last year. Most of the time this doesn't happen, the teams with better players win. With no cap we would have better players. I would take three or four odd years out of 20 that we don't win or were not in it until the end! Wouldn't you?
Also, the MLB keeps breaking attendance records four years running!
The Official Site of Major League Baseball: News: Fans coming out in record numbers
The attendance per game has also gone up it's not that there are more games or teams so the records are inevitably broken. If baseball was doing so bad this wouldn't happen. Numbers speak for themselves. Go no cap, GO SKINS

Well just because Snyder can go out and spend money so can the other teams and owners willing to do the samething. If this does happen and players contracts jump look for tickets and everything else to jump. Baseball has how many home games to absurb some of the cost and NFL teams have 10 at the most at home games.

Yeah I don't know why people seem to think Snyder is the only rich owner. Imagine what Paul Allen would do

It's too far away to think about this, I'm sure it wont happen. I'd hate to see the NFL go MLB though. Although, we would win the superbowl with snyders money.

Re: NFL uncapped -- Good or bad in your eyes?

LOSE THE CAP! I can remember it prior. Yes it has helped out some teams but I have always felt and still do that it's all about marketing. How the owner sells the team. I can't imagine teams doing to poorly with all the money coming in from TV time and merchandise. Yes some teams sell better then others.....but put a winning team on the field for a change and stop lining your pockets.

If any of you can remeber the terrible teams back then...Patriots, Cardinals(as always), Bucs, Seattle(as always), Detroit, Houston (whatever they are), Browns,

Then look at the top 10 richest NFL owners.....they were all the teams that sucked back then. Now either new owners have purchased the teams or the same owners simply refuse to put the money back into the teams. The Patriots have finally come around, Cards will always suck(LOL), Bucs are better, Seattle is the #1 owner and they are finally looking good after all the yrs sucking, Detroit....how in hell do you own a car company and a football team and still suck for so many yrs? Houston did pretty good in the 60's but has not been good since, Browns.....oh yeah they moved to Baltimore and a new owner took over and they still suck. lol.

Great for the Redskins, bad for football. Just look at Baseball(Orioles).

Can you imagine how much we'd have paid Arch and Lloyd without a cap.
