baseball is dumb cause there is no salary cap. owners can buy themselves the best team in the world if they have enough money. it's retarded.

I won't argue that. Look at the Yankees. Their lineup is filthy. And why? Because they think they need an all-star at every position and do so by having bottomless pockets.

no cap is ok. why? because the yanks just proved, again, that high salary doesnt equal success. look at the rangers in hockey. they used to buy everyone, and then the cap was put in...first year ba...

i disagree, this is one of the main reasons i like the nfl better than mlb and even the nba, because every team has a chance to win it all every year. even tho the yankees didn't have "success" th...

ilikebirds Oct 30, 2006

Cheap owners or Financially prudent owners.. Why waste your own money on a team... when you're collecting money from others luxury tax and revenue sharing. those teams actually make money. i...

bottom line: nfl=awesome, mlb = suck

except for the whole nazi regime. i mean, fining people for celebrating? not letting peyton manning wear white shoes or whatever? no fun league fo sho.

and seriously, the nfl is pretty awful with the salary cap. hockey is doing an excellent job with it so far. in the nfl, players are cut left and right because of the cap, people who should get the decency and respect from their team but they cant afford to keep them and get new players. i cant think of many specifics but i remember shannon sharpe and i know there were a bunch more
