AIG and TTFBA

Several proposals have been offered In the spirit of the US Congress going after the bonuses of AIG executives: legislation targeting an individual or small group.  In that spirit I have renamed each of the them.

The Wausau Winning Attitude Act
This law would reward coaches playing games head-to-head even if their seasons were losing causes. Named after one team that exemplified the approach that all coaches should use: Play your games regardless of your talent. 

The Donelson Dumpster Dive Act
It's possible that the dumpster diving talent mining manueveur has gone on for many seasons but the Warriors whomping 4 player free agent grab on March 1st raised a red flag throughout the league. Should've done a player here, a couple there - maybe no one would've noticed. The acquisition near the time the beta ratings came out - coincidence? Not.

The DonTilSaP Act
This legislation targets teams loaded with talent via a salary cap. This season the bullseye is on Donelson, Tillman and San Pedro. The goal is to create a utopian football league where all teams go 8-8 and no one gets any boo-boos. Granted, Donelson's Super Bowl run this year will be tainted with family trades and beta rating free agent harvesting, but other teams have been built legitimately and shouldn't be punished. (Full disclosure: DTC once supported a salary cap but that was in an age when one-sided trades cracked parity. Owner attrition and trade review has improved things. In most cases. Not mentioning any names.)

The 37.5% Act
This is the proposal on limiting 800 attempts at QB. The 37.5% refers to the percentage of teams that would've been affected by this rule this season: DAK, FRE, GLM, KNX, NAS, NE, SP, TIL and DVD all have over 800 passing attempts. That's 9 teams. Next year, it could be DAL if Brady's knee works. Aaron Rodgers was a Gladiator draft pick and has been protected every year until finally! he bore fruit. You will have to pry one of those QBs from Colossus' cold dead hands (metallic claws?).

The DTC has the tendency to make a lot of accusations without any real proof to back those accusations.

Gossip?

Rumormonger?

Seems so.
