Clint or Clay Kubiak, one of those two guys?

Sure.

We talk so much about these high-flying offenses and getting the ball down the field and air yards and big points and wide receivers, but the basis of a lot of these teams, if not all these teams, is establishing the run.

It's old-school, hard-nosed, slobber-knocker football, man.

Yeah, I'm thinking about it, thinking that hopefully next year we're saying Jackson Dart is one of those young quarterbacks that is in the playoffs.

That's what I'm thinking about.

Yeah, but hold on, though.

Guys like that.

I heard Al and Jerry talking about this, like how do the Minnesota Twins survive?

How do the Pirates survive?

Because the L.A.

Dodgers spent last year

CBT tax, competitive balance tax, $169 million.

And it's going to be more next year.

And it goes to all the other teams.

So these owners, they don't have a shot, but they don't care because they're taking that money, putting it in their pocket, and not reinvesting it because there's no salary for it.

Yeah, well, the players are going to say, do not cap the salaries that we get because salary cap are the two words that they don't want to hear.

So they'll be fighting back on that.

But the competitive balance tax has served as somewhat of a salary cap to other teams.

Like the New York Yankees, that's a salary cap for them.
