Now let's also consider the push for RBs to get their bread

Most likely they know how vital CMC is to their chemistry and they want to avoid a worse RB getting a higher deal

Which will absolutely happen, mind you

Aiyuk will be signed and Deebo will move sometime before, during, or after season

What happens if a team doesn’t meet the floor requirements?

Are they forced to sign a player?

dim kettle
dim kettle
desert palm
#

Has it happened?

#

Recently anyways

dim kettle
#

No.

#

But here's some info more in-depth.

"NFL teams are allowed to roll over any unused cap space from one season to the next. Clubs must tell the league they plan to roll over cap space by 4 p.m. ET on the day after their regular-season finale.

While the NFL has a salary cap, it also has a salary floor, so teams cannot hold onto money perpetually. Teams must spend at least 89% of the cap over a four-year period, while the NFL as a whole must spend at least 95% of the cap.

If a team fails to reach the 89% threshold, it will be forced to pay the difference to players who were on its roster during those four years. However, no NFL team has been penalized in this manner in recent memory."

desert palm
#

Hmm interesting

#

I heard a recent suggestion by Brodie Brazil

#

And it was something I was thinking about also to an extant

#

Maybe instead of a floor per se

#

It would be a poor man’s tax lol

#

Where dependent on how much you don’t spend, you receive less revenue sharing money

#

And maybe also lose draft picks

#

Say 75 million poor man’s minimum, from 74-65 will be like a smaller percentage taken from revenue sharing, 64-55 will be a larger percentage, and 55 and below will be a significant percentage

#

And maybe draft penalization

#

I don’t think the tax percentage should be as high as when a team a lot with the luxury tax system

#

But there definitely should be some form of a financial penalty

#

Maybe even have a consecutive penalty system similar to the luxury tax consecutive system

desert palm
#

The penalization money would go to teams that receive revenue sharing, but spent more than 75 million (75 is just an arbitrary number for example sake)

#

What do you guys think?

dim kettle
#

Baseball just needs to get with the times. A small cap and an actual one like the NBA. That's all they need. I think Bob Costas said something like, "Well, a team like the Bills in Buffalo in the NFL could spend because the season is shorter and TV rights. And I'm like, IDK how the NBA and NHL have survived for so long then.

#

It just sounds like more of the same we don't like change, baseball is a classic sport talk I've heard for so long. And that's not even discussing the players POV. They deserve to fight to the very end to keep a cap from happening.

desert palm
#

Small cap is for sure not happening

#

Players in the NBA don’t mind it because they get a lot more money in sponsorships

#

But their actual contracts are not very high

#

MLB players don’t have that luxury unless you are Ohtani

dim kettle
#

A cap is not happening easily and nicely. The NHL had to cancel a season to get a cap. Just some haunting signs for things to come in the baseball world.

So bit of a restructure

So I guess giving a guy a contract that would eat up most of your cap is not that big of a deal

celest zephyr
#

Nba has contract cap limits though

#

The most a guy can get is like 30% of the salary cap

#

In the mlb i could theoretically pay a guy 150 mill and the rest 25 mill

#

This makes it weird cuz a lot of people have a max-super max deal but wildly range in ability

#

Nba also has rookie max vs normal max

Where other than some escalators a rookie can only get a certain cap percentage which is less than a vet

So I am happy they proved that nonsense wrong. This is a more complete team, they've built something better. Florida is fucking great and deserve to be praised but the more I hear people use tired lines that don't apply this team anymore, the more I just figure you don't pay attention to our team

I am not saying he is an elite goalie, but to say he is just a sieve is insane to me. He is streaky yes. He has bad games. He also was a rookie last year and this is his second round of playoffs

He could very well go in against Florida and be cold and not have a good series, but dude earned respect for getting us here, for bouncing back, and for all the shit talk Kings fans and Canucks fans (and flames fans) he played us into the cup final

domestic violence and evading the police, making it sound like it was an argument by saying that lol

They have connections

If they label it as something more violent they might not get info from those sources again

Of course a random ass person has no need to make it look tamer than it actually was

Because so many teams just went away from the 90s look.

It's fine to go away from 90s

It's another to abandon everything about it

It's just also a fact so many teams like to change it up for generation to generation.

You get catches better than this in your average t20 game almost every time. If the impressive part is supposed to be the throw then cricketers don’t do that because they don’t need to, catching means the batsman is out.

Never seen a “cricket” player do this

【QRT of David (@FourNaanJeremy):】
'I genuinely think if the average American watched a single game of top level cricket their head would Simply Explode.'

You asked for the must difficult thing to do in sports and I would say a 147 is at least top 3. Chess is difficult and I could never beat a chess master but I don’t know what exactly you want to say is the most difficult thing to do. Chess is definitely up there with go as some of the most difficult games out there. But a 147 specifically has everything that can be difficult about it. You basically need to play 36 balls in a row in the exact order with the most precise possible positioning. You need to have complete control of the table

What’s the differences in cricket types? Seems like one is just longer games while one is like one inning

Like T20 or test or whatever

tardy solstice

Test is 90×6 balls per day

An over in cricket is 6 balls or 6 pitches

The types of cricket just vary how many overs are in a game

4 innings

@tardy solstice @steel nexus all seriousness I would recommend to check out the baseball league that’s been created in the Middle East and South Asia I’m very big into baseball and I’ve always wish that those areas had more baseball.

T20 has 20 per innings, odi has 50 per innings
