Thank Rozelle and Tagliabue for the mediocre football we get to watch these days. They were both (especially Rozelle) HUGE proponents of "parity" within the NFL. To me, parity in sports at any level, but especially in the pro's, is a joke. Let the better teams and savvy owners be allowed to be successful, dominate even, like in the business (real) world. There are probably half a dozen NFL teams that shouldn't really exist but they're propped up through the inequitable league-wide money sharing policies in place (merchandise and TV revenue).
