Yes, I realize that was the author's doing. Sorry for not being clearer. Terry Glenn was a T.O prototype (in behavioral terms) when he was in New England. He was even shut down for half of a season at one point, by none other than the Tuna himself.

Not like we needed any more proof -- especially after how he left Buffalo -- but Drew has officially relinquished all claims to integrity. Drew and T.O Nice little blurb in there too, about how DB had to "deal" with Eric Moulds. Until that Miami game from last year, I never put EM in the same category as Terry Glenn, T.O., and Me-shawn Johnson, but if the shoe fits, I guess...

Reason #34 why BGIM is one of the top posters here! Thank you thank you thank you!

He signed the offer sheet, didn't he? All things being equal, he's right: most people generally don't want to move arbitrarily every three years. He'll play where he's paid. Pure and simple. Why do people have to read between the lines all the time? Sheesh.

Yeah, Promo, and the T costs $2.50 I wish Manchester was more convenient for me, Logan sucks. Now... lets hope they have a Monday morning flight out of Buffalo early enough so I don't have to take a vacation day!

This strategy works for even the "big market" teams. Just look at New England -- this is exactly how they've been operating. Jonathan "Mini Me" Kraft was quoted recently that they'd rather have a team of mid-level (salary-wise) guys than a handful of high-end priced-guys.

If he's not a Bill, Moulds goes to New England.

Does this mean TSW has officially jumped the shark? Thought so.

One would hope our coaches would use some common sense, unlike, well, you know... p.s. Travis Henry just threw another option pass.

Exactly why I don't come here as often as I used to.

This isn't correct. Don't confuse the salary cap with the bottom line, which includes "cash over cap" -- the actual amount of money a team pays its players in any given year. Just because a teams' cap is, say, $90M, that doesn't mean they are paying out exactly that amount. When you figure in bonuses, incentive clauses, etc, it is common for a team to disburse a payroll larger than the cap, which in all actuality is really just an accounting mechanism. Teams like the Redskins, for instance, with plenty of available cash, can spend more "cash over cap" than a lower-income team. If they are willing to mortgage the future, like Snyder is wont to do, he can push that cash-over-cap into future years and never really have to pay the piper -- unless the CBA expires and all his bills come due. That is why the Redskins were going to have to cut half of their roster if the deal didn't get done. Think of it like disposable income. If you're making enough to pay the bills, fine. But if you have more than you need, you can either pocket it (like Bill Bidwell) or "invest" like Dan Snyder.

Hey, I"m all for it if it means upgrading the Jills to the Fembots!

And there is the real problem. Metro areas with a large number of corporations willing to buy luxury boxes will undoubtedly make more money than areas that don't have that kind of corporate largess. With more potential customers, prices go up. This is why I believe that a revenue sharing formula needs to work on a percentage basis. To combat the problem of a Bidwell sitting on his ass, the league should define a formula that redistributes revenue (argh, shiver!) based on a percentage of the amount of "local revenue" raised. In this way, middle market teams like Carolina would get less shared revenue than, say, Buffalo, who would in turn get more than Arizona. As Arizona raised its local revenue, and moved more toward the center of the bell curve, it would get more. Or something like that :-)

Yeah. He works harder at paying off his debt, too. $350 million of it. There has to be a way to allow the leveraged owners to pay down their debt without pissing on the guys that, effectively, loaned them the money in the first place: the other owners.

The KC SB is contingent on them putting a roof over Arrowhead. They're considering building a sliding roof that could be shared between Arrowhead and the Royals' stadium. If they don't get the roof done (I recall 2010 as the deadline) the SB gets put out for "bid" again.

And depressing from thereon after. The owners are killing the golden goose...

Great column, despite the source: Boston Globe: Greed isn't good, at least in this case

Addition by subtraction, IMO. Adams was a "ME" guy, not a "Team" guy. We might suffer on paper, but I doubt it will translate much to the field. He wasn't a good match for the system last year anyway -- at least by himself. Everyone was calling for a housecleaning after last year. What's that about being careful for what you wish for?

Bob Kraft is the one that burns me up the most. A few short years ago, the Patriots were a mess. Because of the salary cap (which is essentially the implementation of revenue sharing), he was able to pull the team out from the gutter and turn it into a "model franchise". Now, he's turning his back on revenue sharing, forgetful of the real reason for his sucess. If he gets his way, he'll destroy the thing that brought him to where he is today. He's a modern-day Icarus. Not to mention sleazy, hypocritical, and selfish to a fault.

Funny, but I couldn't help think of Nate Clements when I saw her screaming "Look at me, I'm a PLAYMAKER!" from the apex of that jump. What a clown.

Patience, young paduan. This is really good news. God forbid if this league ever gives up its salary cap...

Maria Sharapova in SI

Google Fight!!! Bills Win 12.2 million to 10.7 million

They're DOOOOOOOOMED!!

You might also think that Montana should remember from whence he came. He's just another dork, like everyone else, if the NFL didn't exist.
