   In major sports these days, there is only one guarantee, and that is that there are no guarantees. So why is everybody running their mouths?

If there’s anything American sports teams are good at, it’s spending money. With the rising salary cap, the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys – as well as many others like the 49ers and Seahawks – have all been pretty good at forking out the riches.
