Can the NFL EVER intervene?

The Globetrotters and the Generals weren't selecting evenly from the same pool of players, though.  That's the thing about the NFL, it's designed to give every team as fair a shot as they want to take so the idea that you can look at our squad and the Patriots and assume things absolutely have to be stacked against us says a lot about Mike Brown. 

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.
