You guys are truly
obsessed!
This has got to be my last post on this topic, you guys have way too much obsessively-fueled stamina on this stuff ...
Forget that the League long-ago ruled on these
issues ....
Forget that you guys have zero say in any of these issues ....
Forget that this all started with me explaining Pat Bowlen's contributions ....
Forget Pat and Jerry Jones heroic near-doubling TV revenue (which none of you knew about)
Forget what I actually write in posts, just respond to what's easy for you ....
Forget, e.g., that I've damn near beatified Lamar Hunt for sainthood (
not so sure about Clark though)
Forget, e.g., that I've been effusively complimentary about your current dynasty
Just pretend I've said other things - things that y'all have field-tested responses that are satisfactory to meet your voraciously obsessive needs.

What Happens when Cap Violations are
Meant to Create Competitive Advantage
There have been cap violations that were intended to and did result in competitive advantage. The Cowboys and Redskins packed large portions of player salaries into the 2010 "uncapped" season, freeing up money for salaries in other seasons.
While the teams did create nominal competitive advantages in 2010, the League caught on right away in 2011 (likely in their WEEKLY REVIEW OF EVERY ROSTER). The League slashed the Cowboys and Redskins cap space by $10 million and $36 million,
respectively.
These cap reduction penalties were tailored to create competitive dis-advantages for these teams, as their violations had been intended to create competitive advantages. This in contrast with the Denver Broncos penalized cash fines six years ago, as their violations concerned improper and undisclosed payment arrangements with players, violations not intended to induce on-field competitive advantages.

Glad to see
Rasputin and
RealSNR are finally convinced above ^^^ that we won those three Super Bowls! And no Rasputin, we only lost 62.5% of our SBs, not 63. And KC only won 66.6%, not 67 �
o-K Spacey
kysirsoza, fine. 'Super Bowl era' is a good place to delineate eras for comparison. But I was making a point - that the loooong KC drought, 5 decades with just 4 playoff game wins, while watching Denver ascend, is probably a big part of the palpable obsessive hate in here. I think YOU GUYS are the ones soft pedaling the current Dynasty. Broncos never had a dynasty like the Chiefs currently have, you should ride that lightning instead of hulking down in here hating the Broncos.
Ferhevvinsake
brdempsey ... are you a real tough guy, a bully or just an Internet tough guy? You COMMANDED me: "You were already told that the League office DIDN'T do that." I was "told," huh? Does that ever work on people?
RaidersCellar, context? What context?! There was no "context" in Beautiful Mind's shack, and there's no context in here. You guys are obsessed with the Denver Broncos, every one of you.
Next is
RunKC and
Pasta Little Bitty and those whining that I'm comparing specific years - well that's too bad. Sorry to break it to you, but that's how sports streaks and eras are discussed, you all know this. I've been VERY complimentary about the Chief's current Dynasty, but the whole point of my comparison was the five decades
before Mahomes showed up.
RaidersCellar, whadd'you mean "surpassed Denver in just about every category....In just a few years?" - And I NEVER said SBs I and IV "didn't count." Why you guys make stuff up just to win little arguments?
Some of you guys are in KC, lemme ask you: I worked in TV Sports for 9 years, anchor and reporter at several stations. My first station was in Wichita Falls, Texas, worked a year and a half with a guy you might know,
Michael Coleman. Great guy! He worked in KC for a number of years, not sure what channel, but he left and I lost track of him. I think he's at a station in South Texas. Anybody...??

The AFL: Read the Lamar Hunt biographies! He counseled - he
urged - less-rich teams like Denver and Boston to resist the urge to enter bidding wars for free agents, if it could threaten their franchise survival. Lamar knew, from his efforts to get an NFL franchise, and the war over the Vikings the year before the AFL startup, that the NFL would most respect
survival. He believed some teams had to sacrifice competitive for survival. BTW, it seems Mr. Hunt had real respect for Broncos owners Gerald and Allan Phipps, as I recall more than once he beat down Ralph Wilson, who was always after the cash-poor Broncos to sell their franchise to groups in Atlanta and Birmingham.
And it worked. Thanks mostly to Mr. Hunt, the AFL became the only renegade startup League ever to survive without a single franchise going under. In fact, the AFL actually EXPANDED! The Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals! (
Although the Bengals, and maybe the Dolphins too, came in AFTER the merger was agreed to, at least in principle.)(
That agreement, in principle, came about when Lamar and Rozelle talked it out for a couple hours while sitting in a rental car in a Dallas Love Field parking lot.) Those are the kinda great stories you'll read.

If you're interested in real history and the reality of the Broncos' violations, congratulations! Here's a couple links for you:

No, it's a clear-cut case of you being in DESPERATION, because all your Donktard bragging rights & so-called accolades get reduced to sawdust in the light of harsh reality.
Don't bother with the links to Mile High Donkeys doo-doo reports because here is what they
don't tell anyone regarding the Donks cheating the salary cap:

How could they possibly be "deferring payments to fund a new stadium" in 1996, 1997, or 1998 when there was literally no such place for them to defer payments to?
It was just a bold-faced lie by Pat Bowlen when he got publicly exposed for violating & cheating the salary cap circa 2000-2002.
