Nobody wants to kill this golden goose. I don't like the salary-cap system. There's nothing I like about it except that it's a system that both sides have been able to agree upon. But that has meant that football's been able to concentrate its energies and efforts at the union and management level on developing new revenue sources and promoting the brand with the general public.
More Quotes from Leigh Steinberg:
Challenge yourself, its fine not to be a totally finished person.Leigh Steinberg
It's too irrational not to keep negotiating and conclude in an agreement. Football is too smart not to realize that madness lies in emulating the self-destructiveness of professional baseball, basketball and hockey.

Without referring to anybody directly, one of the problems with confrontational public negotiating is that it runs the risk of alienating a public with a median family income of 35,000. So that when a player is complaining publicly that he's only being paid 7-million a year instead of 9-million, a fan can look at that with real anger. And an owner who's challenged publicly may simply become more locked in and less apt to ever compromise.

Ultimately, it will get done. If you peer into the apocalypse, theres too much pain and chaos and consternation not to do a new (agreement). This sport is about to move into the greatest era of peace and prosperity of any entertainment form in America. Who wants to be the butcher that kills this.

Liberalism, on the other hand, regards life as an adventure in which we must take risks in new situations, in which there is no guarantee that the new will always be the good or the true, in which progress is a precarious achievement rather than inevitability.
