The NFL is the most successful professional sport. The league's secret to success is sound business practices like revenue sharing and a salary cap. These policies have created parity on the field and in the boardroom. Because of the collective approach of the league, a small-town team like the Green Bay Packers has just as much chance of getting into the playoffs--and succeeding financially--as big-market teams in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco.

But in 2006, a faction of entrepreneurial owners led by maverick Washington Redskins executive Dan Synder proposed changes to the league finance and revenue models that many fear will upset this near-perfect system. They are creating alternative revenue sources, such as stadium-naming rights, local sponsorships, radio and television deals, pre-game and post-game clubs. These owners are arguing that revenue they generate locally--outside of the normal NFL model--should be theirs to keep. Other owners worry this would dash the league's parity like Major League Baseball, where big-market teams like the New York Yankees flourish and small-market teams like the Milwaukee Brewers flounder.

This critical battle for the future of America's most popular sport has opened a wide rift between owners. Tailgating, Sacks, and Salary Caps offers an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the league and examines the maverick owners whose ideas could have lasting repercussions for the players, owners, coaches, and ultimately the fans..

It's game day and the parking lot surrounding Green Bay's Lambeau Field is awash in a bouquet of beer-soaked bratwursts sizzling over flames. Outside Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, it's burgers and dogs, and in New Orleans, fragrant blasts of shrimp gumbo bounce off the Superdome. Whichever stadium you visit, you'll find that tailgating is alive, well, and cooking in America. John Madden, an adamant fan of this age-old tradition, helps the cause with his new cookbook, John Madden's Ultimate Tailgating. But be warned: Madden isn't into fancy, white-linen cuisine. These are smash-mouth meals, meant for those willing to drip sauce on their shirts and deal with the heartburn that follows. He starts simple, with recipes like Smoked Prime Rib and Salt-Cured Spit-Roasted Leg of Lamb. Then he ups the ante with Metrodome Horseradish Burgers, Brew Crew Venison Stew, Tabasco Sesame Noodles, and Pork to Taste Like Wild Boar. Each of the 80 stomach-grumbling recipes was subjected to taste tests by hundreds of tailgaters. And if it's good enough for these discerning taste buds, it's good enough for the All-Madden Culinary Team. --Ben Tiffany.
