Exactly the Unions is handleing wrong becasue the ones that have more to lose aren't the star players but the rest of the players taht make the team.

The beauty of the NFL is that this is the only true TEAM SPORT you can get by in basketball with an MJ, Kobe, Lebron and have a good if not great team, you can get by in hockey with a Gretzky, Lemiux, etc, you can get by in soccer with a Beckham, Robinihio,Maradona, pele, etc, you can get by in baseball with a Babe Ruth, Pete Rose, Mark McGwire or a Barry Bonds etc..

But You can't get by and win titles with only a Barry Sanders, Dan Marino, etc... this is a TEAM SPORT not stars sports, also you need 53 player per team that's more then double of any Major Sport.

Peyton Can be Making 100 mill a year in a uncap year if he wants 2 but with out a good line Harrison, Wayne, James, June, Sanders, Freeney, Mathis, His another Richie Manning.
