The Other Winner from Sunday -- NFL Parity
Imagine for a second that the players got everything they wanted 10 years ago, essentially handing them an MLB style of compensation.
Does anyone think we would then see the Saints hoisting the Lombardy trophy this Sunday?
Not me. With the Saints being toward the bottom of the NFL food chain (ranked 22nd in value according to Forbes), they would have never been able to keep up in an MLB-type compensation system. Had it not been for the current set up in the league, we would have never seen the "Aint's" become the Saints.
This win, in addition to being self-satisfactory, was a reaffirmation why the owners must do everything in their power to oppose the moves the players are trying to force down their throats.
