Salary Cap

Sports and the money it generates for salary caps

I just wanted to show how the salary cap will affect even Fantasy football.  This article talks about how the fantasy football action is going.  Salaries are just as important to each team as how each player plays the game.

NBA players are some highest paid athletes in the world.  The salary cap for each team next year is a astronomical 53.15 million dollars.  With only twelve memebers on each team, that averages out to roughly 4.5 million dollars a player.  To make matters worse, these players salaries are increasing 100 percent about every seven years.  This article shows salary caps since 1984.  Eight year olds play on the same court with the same dimensions as these pros.  I believe that we should raise the baskets to fourteen feet.  Dunking would then be impressive to me.

The New Jersey Devils are in salary cap hell and I for one am loving it.  I am a Philadelphia Flyers fan and I hope that the Devils have to lose at least 2 players for their poor managing.  If you want to read more, look at this article about it.

This is the most compeling news I have seen yet for T.O. I cannot believe he tried to kill himself.  He over dosed on pain killers.  According to the report, he took about 35 pain killers.  I knew he was unstable, but this is just one chapter in the most bizarre athlete of our times.  Anyone tell me how an athlete making 25 million in three years would want to kill himself.  Too much strain carrying the money to the bank?  I think this is a good link talking about this too.  Shameless plug cannot believe this story either!
