What's Behind All the NFL Blowouts

One of the fundamental principles of the National Football League is that every team should have a realistic shot at winning every time it steps on the field. This season, that's not the case.

The strongest teams, like the New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints, have looked unstoppable at times, while weak ones like the Detroit Lions seem exceptionally hapless.

The NFL says the cap is strictly enforced, and that the teams are working within the rules. Mr. Aiello, the NFL spokesman, says the loopholes in the salary cap system were meant to give teams flexibility, all the money teams spend-or don't spend-is "all accounted for at some point."

Gotta love that slimy, double talk lawyer-speak. Why put loopholes in for flexibility when the rules could clearly spell it out?

Not buyin' it...
