New England Patriots Forums - PatsFans.com Patriots Fan Messageboard - NFL Salary Cap

I was searching for the amount the NFL spends on officiating and how, perhaps that could be part of the new CBA. I ran into these two interesting articles...please note that while they attempt to be mathematically correct, they are aware the reports are flawed in that the data used was only for 3 years.

But, they are interesting anyways. Apologies to Miguel in that I in no way want to intrude on his salary cap passion. I'm just posting to inform anyone who has never seen this...it certainly shows why Belichick likes TE's in the 1st round.

Anyways...The owners and the players are squabbling over the gross percentage to be divided. Then the owners are squabbling to some degree on Revenue Sharing. So you think, maybe, that a certain percentage of the gross and a certain percentage of the extra income could go to full time officiating and technology?

What a bad time to have a poorly officiated SB with greedy people arguing while the game's integrity is held in the palms of dime store referee's. Well if that isn't backwards logic 101, 201 & 301 I don't know what is. It's like dressing up for a wedding with clothes you wear to clean the house and yard....it's pitifull
