Re: Handful of Owners Resisting Parameters of New Deal
I don't like this part:
"require teams to spend close to 100 percent of the salary cap" Doesn't that mean current cheap team would now be forced to spend more cash on players? Ultimately, that changes the supply of cash for a fixed number of players....basic economics means more competition for players and higher salaries. That hurts big spenders like the Skins and means cheap teams fans will be happier with new significant talent....but after a few years, they will have to say good bye to their teams as they move to LA for more revenue. I don't like forcing owners to spend their revenue if they don't want to. Outspending the competition is our biggest advantage. Having that advantage removed by legal mandate is just plain wrong. I'd be pissed if I owned a low revenue team, not having a choice of how much I spent?....ridiculous

In the U.S., 85.8 percent of males and 66.5 percent of females work more than 40 hours per week. According to the ILO, “Americans work 137 more hours per year than Japanese workers, 260 more hours per year than British workers, and 499 more hours per year than French workers.” Using data by the U.S. BLS, the average productivity per American worker has increased 400% since 1950. One way to look at that is that it should only take one-quarter the work hours, or 11 hours per week, to afford the same standard of living as a worker in 1950 (or our standard of living should be 4 times higher). Is that the case? Obviously not. Someone is profiting, it’s just not the average American worker. The U.S. is the Most Overworked Nation in the World I'm sure you meant to say greedy corporations correct? If not, please provide some facts to back your "greedy American worker un-informed-statement" |

Then again there are people like doctors who are literally seeing patients all day and nurses who are pulling 12 hour shifts but I genuinely believe that a lot of the "work" we do is sitting in the office racking up hours. Quote:
Also with respect to the Bidwell family Michael Bidwell (the son) has completely turned around the culture of that organization from penny pincher to honest competitor.

Re: Handful of Owners Resisting Parameters of New Deal
Perhaps the owners are mostly happy with the currently discussed plan. Therefore perhaps we are reasonably close to a deal:

He fully intended to leave the team to his son. However, he wrote his will in such an arcane way with the intention of avoiding as much estate tax as possible that it became impossible for John Kent Cooke to come up with the cash needed to buy the team from the estate and the trust that Jack Kent Cooke set up. In essence, Jack Kent Cooke was "too smart by half" when it came to his will...

Re: Handful of Owners Resisting Parameters of New Deal
Fascinating news. It would have been very significant if players with three years were granted unrestricted free agency. A number of names in the 2008 draft would have been set to hit. Anyway, biggest name now on the market would have to be Sidney Rice.

"He is a load at the point of attack. He is a short-area block gobbler at the nose tackle position. He is strictly a first- and second-down player in Miami's scheme. He has zero sacks in his first three NFL seasons. He is a player who is a load at the point of attack. He plays with good leverage. He shows first step explosiveness getting into blockers. He uses his hands well to discard and make plays in line. His limitations are rushing the passer and making plays outside the A gaps."

Re: Handful of Owners Resisting Parameters of New Deal
For big money, ultimately needs to answer the question "what will he do for me against the pass?" But Soliai can get it done on the interior as a complementary force.

Re: Handful of Owners Resisting Parameters of New Deal
I don't know how expensive he'll get, but it'd be nice to have him clog up the middle and free up Kerrigan and Orakpo. I think our other big interior d-lineman can help out in rushing situations, heck, we can put Kerrigan or Orakpo as DEs in passing situations. I think it be nice to have an experienced young DT like Soliai.

Re: Handful of Owners Resisting Parameters of New Deal
Nose tackles aren't supposed to run and get after the quarterback anyway. They're supposed to eat blocks and let the linebackers and maybe the defensive ends do the getting the quarterback. Most nose tackles have, like, 1 or 2 sacks a year.

Re: Handful of Owners Resisting Parameters of New Deal
And to add to this, many 4-3 DTs and 3-4 NTs aren't very interchangeable. The closest we had to a 3-4 NT on the team was Kemo, and that's a stretch to say this b/c he was hurt and had not played in a 3-4 defense for like 4 years (his previous team was Carolina a 4-3 team). Unless they are willing to gamble on one of the young DTs they drafted or Bryant, I think acquiring an experienced NT like Soliai would be a good move.

Re: Handful of Owners Resisting Parameters of New Deal
No Shadowbyte, I meant it like I said it. Throughout history Americans have refused to take the low minimum wage jobs and hoping by not taking them it would force the business owner to raise the salary rate to a more acceptable rate. However there has always been a group of people to come along and take those job and pissing off the Americans, ie; the Africans ( although forced here), the Irish, the Scottish, the Vietnamese, now since the early 80's the Hispanics or Latin Americans.
Part of the reason owners hire the Hispanics is because they will do more work for less money then the Americans. Sound familiar? Americans not wanting to play a game of football for no less then 4.5 billion. No it's not the day labor job but it sure sounds the same when the players are demanding more pay or a bigger slice of the profit. Pretty soon the owners will move their teams out of country to avoid paying the high taxes ( the Bills), then we will probably start seeing more foreign players playing for less money. That was my joke. |
