Nope. I'm saying that a salary cap is a crutch that people use to lie to themselves about how their team is going to be in the future. If you have a crappy front office, you have a crappy front office, no matter how much you spend(see the Mets) it doesn't change that fact. The only financial setup that makes sense is a system that encourages(rewards) teams for improving and for winning. Most systems do reward teams for winning(just making the post season in baseball is financial boon for teams) but they don't reward for improvement. And conversely there is no punishment for getting worse.

Salary cap is not an improvement, it's a different way of getting the same results, the only difference is that the owners are now pocketing the money, and the fans are fooled into thinking their owners are trying.
Yeah, the salary cap has fooled me into thinking that Jeffrey Lurie really cares about winning and about the phans, and that making money is secondary.

Yup, that's me!
