HUGE NEWS
In a significant move that could impact the flow of money to potential free agents and the competitive balance of teams, the NFL has notified the players’ union that, effective next March, owners will pull the plug on the $100-million-per-year revenue-sharing program that has subsidized lower-revenue clubs, multiple sources said.
By Tuesday, the NFL Players Association will challenge the move with a Special Master, claiming owners can’t terminate the revenue-sharing model without the union’s approval because it was adopted into the 2006 labor agreement, which doesn’t expire until March 2011.

Getting rid of revenue sharing would be big.
And bad for the players.

Would it hurt the Chargers? I wonder if they’re one of those 8-10 teams that actually gets money from it.

Everyone gets money from revenue sharing.
In fact many think that the revenue-sharing model does more for parity than the cap.

Some teams get more
Approximately eight to 12 lower-revenue teams have qualified on a yearly basis to draw from the supplemental pool. The $100 million fund is part of $6.5 billion in revenues shared by all clubs.

Ohhh I get it.
There’s only talking about one part of the whole revenue-sharing plan, not the whole thing.

yup
Now that I’ve realized that, I no longer consider it “HUGE NEWS”. However, it’s big for those lower-revenue teams that want to make s splash in free agency.

Saints
I’m not buying the super bowl hype. Against everyone but the Patriots, they’re no good until the second half. If Jason Campbell could complete a 5 yard pass, it would be at least 7-0 Redskins.

Schaub out
Rex Grossman in, and picked. Texans are done for the season.

Falcons don't trust Redman
Had 1st and goal from the 5, ran it up the gut 4 times and got nothing.

24-10 Indy at the half
That’s good for the Chargers. As is 14-10 NE at the half.

HAHAHA
Funniest play ever by the Raiders. McFadden runs to the right, throws back to Gradkowski….Gradkowski gets sacked.

Cassel
Ugly pick. I thoroughly look forward to him being in the division for the next few seasons
"I did not invent the wheel, I was the crooked spoke adjacent." - Aesop Rock
Vick TD
The best part was him trying to toss the ball into the crowd and it going right into the net

Hardwick STILL inactive.

I'm wondering if he'll ever come back.

Ditto
I bet he gets IR’d. They’re not going to want to “test” him against any of the upcoming opponents.

Eh
At this point I was a little worried about him trying to mesh with the line mid-season and I was also worried about how much rust he had, whether he could go a full game, etc. etc. I wouldn’t be opposed to him becoming the backup C when he gets back.

I’m a little shocked to see Bennett and Davis inactive.

Oakland is playing Pittsburgh really tough.

So many receivers running wide open downfield that are being missed. Pittsburgh looks terrible.

We could so beat them in San Diego if we had another shot.

If the Lions can score a TD
This will be an interesting game. Same thing for the Dolphins.

TD Miami
I wonder if they’ll go for 2 for the tie.

NO is down 10 and driving.

Now they’re down 7.

Detroit has no chance
down by 13, with the Bengals on the Lions 6
"I did not invent the wheel, I was the crooked spoke adjacent." - Aesop Rock
Oak has a good chance
down by 4, 1st down in Pitt’s red zone.

TD Oakland
Now they’re up by 3. This is proving what we all already knew. Oakland has a good D and a strong running game. If their QB could at least be decent, they could be an 8-8 team.

Holy crap Oakland leading Pitt.

Not Pitt’s leading Oakland. That didn’t last long.

Oakland's leading again
They finally hit one of those wide open receivers downfield. Louis Murphy, 75 yard TD. I’m glad I started him on my fantasy team today.

Just trading easy TDs. Only 2 minutes left.

Croyle in again for KC
That’s 2 games in a row where Cassel has been benched after throwing a bunch of picks.

WOW
Interception in the end zone for the Dolphins, picking off Brady. Great play by Vontae Davis.

Washington is threatening to go up by 14.
I don’t see the Saints winning this game.
