Talk about a Baltimoron

This just in from Ravens' owner Steve Bisciotti: "It certainly doesn't show up in the standings," he said. "If I'm a Yankees fan, I'm upset we're not winning 130 games with the roster that they have and the money that they pay out. I think it's a disgrace they only beat the average team by 10 games in the standings with three times the money. I'd fire that GM. You don't need a GM. All you have to do is buy the last Cy Young Award winner every year."

He obviously knows little-to-nothing about what it takes to run a baseball team. Using his moronic analogy, why doesn't he go out and sign the reigning offensive and defensive MVP from year to year? Regardless of what restraints the cap may put on NFL teams there are certainly ways to circumvent it - perhaps he neglects the fact that he gives out rampant signing bonuses to star players to buck the cap. Hmmm, curious. Further, if his NYY analysis really held any weight, wouldn't the Spend-First-Ask-Questions-Later Daniel Snyder's Redskins have won something, like even a playoff game or two, in the last decade?
