Who do you blame for the rising cost of dealing with these primadonna's?

The way I am looking at this the Owner's regardless of how smart they think they are or how long ago they bought their teams or how they scored in their other business life to afford to be there are actually to blame.

I know they are at a disadvantage because it's documented they have money to spend given to them from the league but they need to realize that outbidding each other for players is just going to cause them to raise the bar and really hurt the rest of the team. Nate getting $10 Million for one season is ~8% of the Salary cap for ~2% of the teams roster spots, it doesn't make good sense.

In the long run, plan on seeing Derek Jeter type $20M salaries within 10 years of league growth. Odds are one of Mcgahee's 15 kids by then will be getting a $40M guarantee in about 25 years from now, lol.

I blame global warming, a lack of religion, rap music and reality TV.

Wait...what was the question ?
