Zero,......what a guy!LOLOL!!!

Formo.......the Brewers might be in the middle, but that still is as far up as they will ever get. CC Sabathia is a perfect example. We could "afford" him for half a year. You don't think the Brewers wanted to keep him? But their pockets have bottoms, unlike the Yankees.
That was my point. Not that we don't pay good players, but CAN'T compete with the Yankees. How many world series wins do they have? How many of those are because they can outbid ANYONE for the best players? Why even get into a bidding war when you know you have NO chance at winning?
I don't want that scenerio for the NFL.

Now go back and read about our 4 million dollar net profit, and then go read my post about 24 dollar beers and 18 dollar brats.

I have said that math is not my strong suit, but I was lying.

Cheesey, I know what you mean. When I saw that MLB list, I was just surprised to see the Brew Crew in the middle instead of at the bottom like I thought they were. Maybe your nice stadium helped that out (I'm going to assume the Twins new park will bump them up a bit, too). And, to be fair, the Brewers still are $121.3 million below the Yankees payroll. I just wanted to bring up the surprising fact that the Brewers were in the middle of the pack. That's all.

Oh, ok Formo!
It just plain sucks that we can't compete cause a few guys have more money then god.
It makes it hard to seriously follow the sport when you pretty much know before the season starts who will be there at the end.
Why even bother with a season? Just give the Yankees "lifetime WS trophies" and liquidate the league.
I don't want that crap in the NFL. And i'm afraid thats where it will end up.

And for good reason. Jerry Jones has made it abundantly clear that he'd be happy if the NFL consisted of just a few teams as long as Dallas was one of them and could buy all the best players. I don't think he'd bat an eye if that meant Green Bay had to fold.

Although he sugarcoats it nicely. I recall a post over here that contained an interview of Mr. Jones. He basically stated that it wasn't fair for a small franchise like that of GB, to have to share revenue with big guys like the Chargers. Or something along those lines.

This man will screw up the entire league if there won't be a new salary cap. You'd figure that the players and other owners would see this. I suggest that they stop playing this russian roulette and just get a new CBA together.

Really, it's more the union than the players. And this is just proof positive that unions pretty much suck.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?
wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.
Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

wpr (23-Jul) : It's funny the PA complained about the locker room. It wasn't that long ago it was top shelf. Things change in a hurry.
wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
