Can the NFL EVER intervene?

The NFL can have a salary floor and salary cap and the draft and comp picks to even the playing field but it can't hold Mike Brown at gunpoint and make him hire an actual GM or build a practice facility.  Hell, if the draft weren't mandatory I could see Mike Brown saying "We don't want to build with flashy draft pick players, we prefer to sign hard-nosed blue collar guys off the street who WANT to be here rather than guys who had no say in where they play because they were drafted.  Plus, we sign guys for only the league minimum so you KNOW they are playing for the love of the game and not for a paycheck."

People would eat that nonsense right up....well, until the season started.

Yeah...in a league built for parity...us and the Lions defy said parity.
