And I wanted to address this again. People are constantly talking about the Cap going up with the players' escrow backlog getting paid up.
But I think that ignores other economic realities. These Gigantic TV deals are proving to be problematic in that they're not as lucrative as they used to be.
We're seeing Sports Reporters getting canned and axed by the bucket-load.
They're not sending TV and Radio broadcasters on the road anymore to shave costs, and the list goes on and on.
If people are banking on TV deals to generate revenue to bump the cap up I think they need to seriously re-evaluate that.
And thats not even taking into consideration the absolute goddamned boat-anchor that is Arizona.
With that arena deal nixed and their future uncertain, they're sucking hard at the profit-sharing pipe, does anyone think thats going to help generate and grow revenues so the cap can keep rising?
There seems to be this absolute faith that the cap is going to keep going up by leaps and bounds, but I dont think that faith is solidly founded.
