Rookie Hold-outs in the NFL

I hate the NBA.  I hate professional basketball.  Actually, I can’t stand college basketball either.  And I think that there is very little anyone can learn from the NBA.  Debilitating salary cap, anyone?  The salary cap in basketball is so horrible that it takes a team that made a single bad decision a whole freaking decade to recover.
