In any case McNair says he will be back in pursuit of another SB at some point in time.
The owners do seem to be at an impasse. I can see McNair's point of view that after putting out that $700M, which I would assume, was equally shared by the other league owners as a windfall profit. He has to amorttize that debt somehow, and the suite boxes at the stadiom are just one more way of doing so. If every team gets $85M/yr. as their share of the t.v. money, I can't see that any owner is that in need of "welfare"!
In the case of the huge rookie salaries, the union says rookies are not covered by the CBA until they sign their first contracts. If the owners try to control the huge bonuses, the agents howl colusion. The union needs to corral the agents I would say.
