Espn had an article on this actually defending the Yanks and their salary. They were saying that no one should bash Steinbrenner because he is playing within the rules of MLB and is one owner who puts money back into his team. Alot of the other owners won't do that and will pocket it. If Mark Cuban owned the Pirates or Cubs, he would definitely put money into whoever team he owns. I think this is another reason why there will be no salary cap in baseball because the players won't allow it. I do believe that one of the reason why there is a salary cap in the NFL is becasue the other teams in 1992 were afraid that the 49ers and Cowboys would get all of the stars (ex. Reggie White) becasue they had owners who were willing to spend.

The disparity between the top and bottom is insane. It would appear, however, that spending somewhere in the middle puts you in a good position to win. You don't have to go crazy like some teams do, but you have to spend some.

Just two teams equalled a $374m first round playoff exit.

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.



Jerry Jones in the draft room is suicide on the football field. The line of scrimmage is EVERYTHING. Something Jerry doesn't understand.
