I don't get why the NFL is some sort of nirvana of parity. Where the team with the highest payroll, the Raiders at $152 mil can put up a 5-11 season where the Ravens with the second lowest at $90 mil goes 11-5 and makes the playoffs. Is this because of the cap? Or because teams like the Ravens, Patriots, and Steelers know what it takes to win and run an organization well.
