Just wanted to point that out. If anyone is interested, please comment!

I understand the players not wanting an extra two games (though having two less pre season games and getting two extra actual games is more than all right with me) but I think the owners should expand the rosters to 60 and short the IR stature to only 6 games.
There needs to be a rookie scale. A Demarcus Russel should never be paid more than a Peyton Manning, Ever. Earn that pay after a few seasons. Not beforehand.
The revenue share argument is annoying and dumb. There's 9 billion dollars to be had, There's more than enough for everyone. Don't kill the golden goose with selfishness.
