If it takes 24 owners to pass the new CBA,does anybody
know what 8 high revenue owners could be holding this
up?
 
Yeah,I know about him and Dan Snyder,Paul Allen.I was
just wondering who the other 6 are.
 
I think Bob Kraft and Pat Bowlen are 2 others. I don't know about the other 4.
 
Most of what it is that the owners that make more money don't want to split alot of revenue with the owners of teams that don't make as much money. The haves vs. the have nots so to speak.

Bowlen has a lot of money...not Paul Allen/Jerry Jones/or Dan Snyder money, but I think he is someone who puts the league's best interest ahead of his own. He offered a good portion of the team to John Elway a few years back and he is more reasonable than a lot of the other owners.
 
I almost forget about Al Davis,I'm sure he isn't helping
things out much.
 
Thats what kills me,Just one,two or three knothead owners
can't stop this,It would take 9.

What sucks is the owners should have worked out revenue sharing before working on the new CBA agreement with players. Earliest statement I have saved about this from last May. This isn't something new that they're just now trying to resolve.

The ESPN articles portray Al Davis as being sided with the low-revenue owners right now. Apparently Raiders season ticket sales are down (the city had been handling sales until now) and the team isn't nearly as profitable as it used to be.

Anyway, Davis is supposed to be one of the guys siding (strangely enough) with the welfare of the league right now.
 
Davis is siding with the small market owners. Oakland is a small market and they have had horrendous sales here. Davis came out and basically said he loves this league and he wants to do whatever it is they think is right.

I can't say I am against the high revenue guys. In principal, I see the reason for revenue sharing and think it is vital, but the small market owners have to try as well. Bill Bidwell does nothing with the Cardinals. He doesn't promote them he doesn't pay good salaries normally. He just sits there and rakes in money form the other owners/teams and is happy with that. If I am Jerry Jones, that irks me to no end.

Provisions need to be put in place that FORCE small market owners to spend a MINIMUM amount of money on the player's salaries, promotions and advertising. That way, they are at least "trying" and not acting like a selfish unionized dock worker.

Note: Not all dock workers are lazy, that was just used to stress my point, please do not get the local 47 on my butt. :)

Actually, last night on NFL Network, Davis was interviewed (in a press conference scrum) and he seemed to be heavily in favour of getting the thing done.
 
Jerry Jones' problem is that he has been aggressively expanding his team's revenues through innovative marketing and creative thinking, and he doesn't believe he should have to share those dollars with other teams that are low-revenue and aren't making the effort to maximize their own locally generated streams. He looks at teams like Cincinnati, Buffalo and Arizona as free loaders -- why should I have to share my stadium sponsorship revenues with you when you aren't even trying to generate any? If these low-rent teams were bringing in even a few dollars with the techniques that he has used, he'd be much more inclined to make some accommodation.
