Yeah, I have been hearing that for a while. But while the salary cap goes up every year, no one seems interested in ousting him.

I think the biggest issue should be the pension for players. Both sides can afford to throw some money into the pot for past players.

But there is in-fighting among the owners - the ones that are highly profitable are getting peeved at giving up some of their profits to the penny-pinching owners. I see that point, but I would hate to see Green Bay fall back into mediocrity because they can't compete with the Cowboys or Patriots at spending money.
