Don't know if this has been shared yet, but I'm proud of Bruce Allen's retort:
The Redskins Blog | Statement On Adjusted Salary Cap Reports
He's right. The league approved these (bad) deals. How can we be penalized for spending in an UPCAPPED year anyway when we are in compliance with the cap rules when it returned?
I heard a report on CSN Washington this morning stating "we did not necessarily violate any rules, just the spirit of the rule".
What the hell is that? Utter BS. This would be akin to a cop pulling you over and saying, "Sir, you were not speeding but your Corvette looks fast so I am going to write you a speeding ticket in the 'spirit of the law'."
Or, your wife sees you looking at another woman crossing the street and files for divorce citing adultery and takes half your crap on a false accusation.
I used to like Roger Goodell when he came into the league with the tough enforcer stance, but his ego and power trip are becoming harmful to the game. All of the stupid on-field rules, watering down the quality of the play in the name of "safety"...now this? He approved Vinny's stupid payouts...case closed. Spend on, Mr. Allen.
