The new NFL rules

The labor agreement, extended several times since it was agreed to in 1992, has another two years to run. But 2006 would be the last year with a salary cap.

There would be no cap next year, but also many changes in the rules, including some the players find unappealing - six years for a player to get to free agency instead of four and no minimum amount that teams have to spend.

So your thoughts? Will Nfl be like European football, the richest team will win the titles ?

I don't think it will go that far. Probably some compromise will be reached and the union will force the nfl to have one trial season without free agency before the year 200x. For a few years with no cap, money would buy championships, but middle market teams would build cohesive units which could beat the big names, similar to what's happened in baseball.

As long as the owners and players are lining their pockets and people are in the stands, i dont think they ultimately care about the game.

Right now one of the biggest sticking points is the issue on revenue sharing, and it's impact on the salary cap size. Like it's been mentioned before, if the owners and players keep getting richer (this does seen slightly paradoxical :P) then everything'll run smooth.

What I do love about the NFL is the parity with most teams - yeah, there sure are some stinkers, but they don't remain shitty for too long - either through the draft or free agency, teams always end up getting better in the end. With this reasoning, I totally expect the Texans to be better next year.

News Flash: the salary cap is going to be around for another year plus, and may not go away at all

And even if there is no salary cap there will be more NFL teams fighting for the Super Bowl than teams fighting for the championship in european leagues.

Lol keep talking shit about european football, yeah like how many teams did go to the next round from the last 16 who were in the last 8 last year , Milan? Like Last year Lyon, Villareal,Barcelona,Benfica,Arsenal were in the quarter finals, you dont know shit about European football

Well, theyve since come to a deal so now we will have free agency for a few more years.

but i guess this is sad news to hear that after they made some kind of agreement, paul taglibue wants to retire being the comish .

he's had his trials and tribulations in the past, but i think he did a fine job doing whatever was necessary to keep the league under control.

wasn't taglibue one of the primary advocates to remove helmet to helmet tackling and lasso tackling on the shoulderpads ? then again, because of those rules, we have those cheesy penalties on the quarterbacks .. hey .. we win some .. we lose some, right ?

Posted by tribu on Mar-10-2006 05:49:

I'm not particularly fond of Tagliabue, but his tenure has been far better than other league leaders (Gary Bettman, Bud Selig...). If nothin else the NFL has boomed under him and steadily rmeained entertaining. I have no qualms with him.

I'm into european football for nearly 20 years now, so don't tell me what I know and what not.

And yep, the CL looks interesting this year, but all major european soccer leagues are allready decided. We have march and allready know that Chelsea, Lyon, Barca, Munich and Juventus will win their national championships. That's not really exciting

Now take the NBA: We have Miami and Detroit in the Eastern Conference who are nearly equal. Both have a huge chance to go to the NBA Finals. And in the West we have Phoenix, Dallas and San Antonio fighting for the Conference Championshp.

And of course there could be some surprises in the Play-Offs, but right now we have 5 Teams with equal chances to win the NBA Championship.

Now tell me if any european soccer league is as exciting as the NBA

And my friend Hardstyle, I'm a soccer fan by myself. I'm all into Hamburger SV who do very well this year. But the Bundesliga gets more and more boring when it comes to the first places. Munich, Schalke and Bremen fight for the CL places for years now...

Uhm for me the only thing decide who is the best team in Europe is the champions league,it doesnt matter how many times Chelsea wins the English title they never going to be good enough to win the European title
